I was just at Walgreens waiting for a prescription to be filled, and decided to crack open Green Witchcraft by Ann Moura (again) to pass the time. A much older woman to my left saw the title and said “so you’re into witchcraft, are you?” I froze. I’m not very bold and I abhor confrontation, so…

You like Green Witchcraft? Let me give you some book suggestions >D

On Becoming Pagan

  • I've been asked why I chose to become Pagan, but I don't feel that it was a choice. I found Paganism while trying to find a name for my beliefs. Essentially, I was Pagan before I knew what Pagan was. So, I'm curious... how many other Pagans agree with me. Do you feel you are Pagan by choice, or is it just who you are? (Obviously, there are no right or wrong answers to this question. We all found our paths through different circumstances. I'm just curious as to what other Pagans think on this.)

‘The Goddess Temples of Malta’. The island of Malta was inhabited in approximately 5200 BC, by a highly developed neolithic people. The great temples of Malta, are some of the oldest free standing structures known, and are part of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. The temples themselves date to about 3000 BC. There have been remains of about 50 temples on the island of Malta. In these temples, artifacts of pottery, bones, figurines of women and signs of fire have been discovered. At some point, it is said that red ochre covered some of the walls in these temples. The well known “Sleeping Goddess of Malta” figure, was found in the temple Hal Saflien. It is also said, that at the Mnajdra temple complex, some of the stones are aligned with the sunrise on the winter and summer solstices , and also the spring and autumn equinoxes.

A Home for Inspiration

Today is International Museum Day. The world museum originally meant “the seat of the Muses,” a home for inspiration. 

Today, why not create an altar or space in your home that inspires you? 

Create a physical altar by cutting out (or printing) images that inspire you and arranging them in a pleasing way. You could attach them to a piece of poster board, a bulletin board, or your wall. Include words, symbols, and colors that connect the images or remind you of your major creative goals, such as the image of a pencil or the words “I love writing.” 

You can also create a digital version by collecting online images and using them in a screensaver program or as a rotating desktop image. This can be a great way to keep some inspiration in your life during the workday - just pick images that fit your workplace culture.

Green Man Invocation

The abundant green growth of spring is all around. Take time today to walk in the woods and give praise to Pan, Greek god of the woodlands, fertility, wild animals, music, nature spirits, and dance. If you live in a city, find a park where you can safely walk. If you live in the country, go to a favorite spot. Slow down enough to notice the abundant springing of life and, marveling in it, commune with the Green Man of spring: 

“In the riot of spring’s wild surge, 
We summon Pan with these words. 
Horned god, dance throughout the trees, 
Summon the beasts, and command the bees. 
Sprouts and shoots, plants and vines, 
Green magic energy now entwines. 
Play your pipes and celebrate, 
Great Pan, we invoke you on this date.” 

Later, as you walk toward your home, hum or sing and spread the spirit of Pan throughout the land.
