Temple Oracle

Last night I learned of a prayer for Rabbinical students from times long ago from the amazing Dyland Richards, my house guest last night on his way to a Franciscan Monastery for a religious event (I love the variety of humans in my world). May you be covered in his dust. Or May you be […]

12 May 2010 Sacred Consort Rite I had a request from a magical student on the West Coast to audio record the Sacred Consort Rite, and with special permission, the folks at Beltane granted me permission to audio record the guided visualization. Having cleared this with those who attended, I wanted to make that audio […]

This last weekend was Turtle Hills Beltane, in Northern Maryland. I flew into DC on Tuesday night and proceeded to have a whirlwind evening of philosophical discussions, divinity debates, interviews for “The Union” Project (a film festival project by Paula Toviessi on Spirituality and Sexuality), tasty Pho (complete with bad Vietnamese wedding photos between da […]

23 February 2010 Repeating Circles I find I am repeating circles again. Before time was like a spiral, stepping in and out of the timeline like a song, looking back fondly. But no, I’ve been here before, and it was not from stepping sideways. Ripples, bubbles in the timeline. Kisses on the stars and goat […]

15 February 2010 Lupercalia, when the Dam Broke. I admit, I want to be a grumpy old man when it comes to the event I just attended called Lupercalia. I wanted, when I signed up to teach at a kink conference in Edmonton, Alberta to be able to say afterward “yes, they tried, but really… […]

19 December 2009 Suited for insanity I weigh it all out. I send out post it notes to the universe, and get back slices of cheese. Cheese I’m not supposed to eat and yet do anyway, thank you new nutritionist. If I look at it all through the lens of a meltdown what does that […]
