I’ve seen in some writings, in some new age groups and even among Pagans, the idea that “I am God.” Although it is fun to say, I just want to be clear about where I stand. I don’t think I am “God.” As a matter of fact, as gods go, I’m pretty much not one. [...]

Strong pull of the Goddess
Posted in Spirit on August 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
My whole being is drawn in, pulled toward the light of the Silver Wheel. Her presence is felt. But more than that, it’s a part of my being. Where did this come from? Why so intense? And why now?
Summer is strong, the heat is at a climax. I feel her inside and out. Inside in [...]
My Paganism…
Posted in Spirit on August 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
…most likely isn’t like your Paganism. I would go so far as to say no one’s Paganism is like anyone else’s. But mine is particularly distinct in flavor. Eclectic Universal Tollianism. What in the world is that?
Well, I’m eclectic. I do not stick to any single tradition or system of beliefs. I absorb that which [...]
War on Xmas

What’s all this about a War on Xmas? We have the war on drugs, war on poverty, war on terror… it seems there ain’t nothin we won’t go to war against. So now we’re at war with Xmas. Well, if we have the same luck as we’ve had with all those other wars, it looks [...]
The fly in my car

This morning I had a fly in my car. It was buzzing around my head and bouncing into me. Normally, I would put down the windows and try to get it out, meaning I might not be paying attention to my driving. As a matter of fact, the night before, that’s exactly what I was [...]
Religion du popular culture?

Can a religion just start? I mean, does it have to be old and, well, old?
I’ve heard of a couple of (admittedly cool) attempts to begin new religions based on movies or popular culture. One such religion is that of the Jedi Knights. When I first heard of it, I thought… that would make a [...]
The Power of Now
Posted in Spirit on January 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
My mind struggles with The Now. That’s because Now can not be conceived by the mind. For instance, when I try to think about it, I wonder: when does Now start? How long does Now last? Is it 5 seconds, 1 second, or maybe a millisecond? If so, I imagine it must look a bit [...]
A god created
Posted in Spirit on November 21, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
You know, it is so obvious to me that the god of the bible, particularly the old testament, is a creation from the minds of humans. It is full of anthropomorphic language, similar to what one might find in a children’s book, like when a writer attributes human qualities to a squirrel, and the squirrel [...]
Two poems
Posted in Art, Spirit on November 15, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
She rises there
dark cold slow
from barren snow
yet like you
her time passes eternally
through moon and light
to this so bright
What season begins here
as night ends
for I am love
after all
