Firepit Update Letters
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
What a blessing in disguise! As I had hoped, the fire that I "re-lit" at the Firepit is burning brightly! After making my Ostara update, I kept adding new pages, and making improvements, so now I'm updating the Firepit far ahead of my regular Sabbat update. I won't ramble on as usual, but here's a brief rundown on what's new:
A new FAQ on Magickal Names... this seems like a very popular question for new seekers.. the glamour of a new identity perhaps? Remember, if you don't like who you are already, picking a new name won't change things.
A new article in the Philosophy section on Psychic Gifts... How to develop them and what's reasonable to expect of yourself...
A bit about Familiars in the Theory section... It's the latest fad in magick: next to picking a magickal name, everyone seems to want one. Here's how to tell the difference between your beloved pet and a magickal companion.
I've added several new items to the Sacred Writings section, including a new journey! Haven't recorded many journeys for quite some time, and was recently scolded for it by one of my Spirit teachers,
Buffalo Cloud Dancer. I've also added
Invocations to the Prayers section, and a few new poems to the poetry section. Perhaps the
Haiku for Inner Peace will bring some peace to you, or the
Vision of Bronze Buddha will inspire you.
The Humor section has also expanded, by request... I'm always interested in seeing new pagan humor, so if you find some, pass it along! Tigger's Full Moon Ritual is actually quite beautiful, as well as being amusing.
War According to Monty Python, while not actually Pagan, is still an excellent satire... and
How To Be A Witch is a wonderful rip on those who think that Wicca is a fashion statement.
Finally, I'm working on reweaving the web of links between documents at the Firepit. I'm trying to make the information as accessible as possible for all. Each page of the FAQ has been reviewed and links to relevant articles elsewhere around the Firepit have been added. In the coming weeks, I'll be going through each page and chapter, linking even more material. I trust you will find it helpful as an aide to finding useful material.
Finally, if you like something, please take a moment to let me know. I'm thrilled to hear from visitors... it's the whole reason for the Firepit, to share it with others.
Peace.
