My books are about inclusive Wicca and witchcraft; how to include LGBTQIA people, disabled people, and BIPOC people in ritual and witchcraft; embodied spirituality; and the inner work of ritual. My latest book, Changing Paths, is a companion guide for people changing from one religion to another.
If you were penned in by a wall
Where bombs constantly fall
Where fear descends like a pall
Wouldn’t you rail against fate?
If you were penned in by a fence
And only protected by tents
If you were starved and afraid
How would you face your fate?
If your home was destroyed
And the future seemed null and void
And the smoke and dust that cloyed
Wouldn’t you want to escape?
Seventy-five years of Nakba
(This didn’t start last October)
Homes lost, bulldozed, destroyed
So much death.
Let the people of Gaza live
Let them eat and laugh and love
Once more among the olive trees
In the cooling Mediterranean breeze.

The political compass has four quadrants: libertarian left, libertarian right, authoritarian left, and authoritarian right.

A lot of people suffer from depression and anxiety, me included. It can act as a blockage to spirituality, too. All too often we don’t talk about it, for various reasons. We want to post content that cheers us and others up. And we don’t want loads of spurious advice about how to cheer up. But sometimes we need to be real.
