Take Action
(ETA 1/30) I’ve gotten a couple inquiries about whether it’s okay to share the link to this post. Yes! Please do share the link for this post. This info needs to get spread around. I will be updating periodically as I … Continue reading
Sit Down and Shut Up
First: I am unapologetically stealing the title from the fab Brad Warner‘s book. OK? OK. Over the years, I’ve heard a lot of people talk about how meditation just isn’t for them, that they can’t do it, that stilling their mind … Continue reading
Maslow Is a Dick
So. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. It’s pretty cool: I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the fact that we, as a culture, here in the US (and really, most of Western civilization as a whole), have solutions and plans to … Continue reading
Mystical Pregnancy
So, I’m going back through the old FeministFrequency videos, and I saw this one: The Mystical Pregnancy. It led me to this awesome (and terrifying) fanvid, Stay Awake. The pair of videos make me wonder how much of my own … Continue reading
Maxim Monday Returns! Ηττω υπο δικαιου

Maxim Monday: Νομω πειθου
Here we are again! This week’s maxim is Νομω πειθου, translated as “Obey the law.” The two words that make it up are (italics indicate quotation from Liddell & Scott’s Greek English Lexicon): Νομω – dative of Νομος – anything assigned or apportioned: … Continue reading
Maxim Monday: Επου θεω
Technically it’s Pagan Values Blogging Month, which I’m not officially doing this year. My friend Niki has been going through some of the Delphic Maxims over on her blog (which, if you don’t read, you really should!!) for quite a while, … Continue reading
Faitheist
I can’t remember how I first heard about Faitheist, Chris Stedman’s account of how he became a born-again Christian and then, some years later, a complete atheist. It was probably through Teo Bishop, who first mentioned the book on Twitter … Continue reading
