January 2019

Oh, dear... it looks like I'm coming by this blog every 18 months or so... Well... better sometimes than never, huh?

1. What is an essential quality, property of a Pagan? Love of everything living? Free spirit? Tolerance? Write a story exhibiting this quality and presenting it as something desirable. Why do you think it is essential, and for Pagans?

2. Write a story about your everyday connection with the spiritual world. Things you do in mundane, everyday, normal situations, like meditating while doing the dishes or spellcasting while cooking.

3. What is your favorite fairytale (or one of them) and what is it teaching?
For example, one of my favorites is Anahita, a Caucasian story, about a prince who fell in love with a poor girl, but she wasn't impressed by him. She demanded he learn an occupation before she marries him. He learned to weave rugs. They got married, and in time he became the king. Then, one day, he was out at war, was captured, and said he was a rug weaver, and asked if he could weave a rug to the foreign queen. His request was granted and he wove a code in the rug, so that his queen could come and rescue him.
I think one of the teachings of this story is that your status can change quickly. A poor girl can become the queen, a prince can become a prisoner. It is good to learn skills to deal with any situation that arises.

4.

Yes, why? Go write about what you really want to write about! 

5. Think back at your life. Do you see God's influence in it (God, Gods, higher power, spiritual force, something else similar). What are some lessons from God in your life?

6. Would you live your life any differently if you weren't Pagan?

7.  Describe a day of an ideal Pagan living a full life spiritually

8. "I need a spell, right now", he said.

9. The book's name is "Spicy". Write it.
