Microseconds following the Big Bang (approximately 14 Billion years ago)… the Cosmic Fireball expands, inflates, creating waves and ripples… they persist over eons of time, becoming Fields and Particles… and galaxies, and stars, and planets, and… Us? and Magic? Can what we know from Ritual and Ceremony be compatible with the story told by Science? …

Given my own specialized past, I will state here that any form of the Goddess who finds themselves resounding with this name is completely entitled to it. While I will refer to Warlock in the masculine …
As the light starts to noticeably return I start to think of spring and what I want to grow in this year’s garden. To get further into the mood as I pull out my seed catalogs and ooh and ahh over the beautiful pictures of vegetables, fruits and flowers, I often listen to Lisa Thiel’s …
Wow, this blog has now been alive and growing for 3 years! It’s time to celebrate our birthday with our annual year-in-review post. (My reflection on year one is here and year two is here.) We started Pagan Song in February of 2019. We’ve now published a total of 188 posts by 21 authors. That’s …

This is the fourth and final episode of my self-care series for pagans. We’ve been around the Wheel of the Year now, with Aphrodite at our side, and a specially crafted playlist of music to move to each season. We began in spring, with Aphrodite Rising: Spring Fever.

When we sing we pray twice. When we loop our voices we create a quantum choir of intentional & mesmerizing vibration for healing, ritual, and entertainment. Welcome to the magical mystical world of looping where you can conjure a pagan choir of enchantment with your voice & your FEET! That’s right. Your feet. The Musical Magic of Looping …
