Wild Wednesday

So many topics…. what should I talk about?

Mythology…and misogyny. Do you know the history behind Medusa? It is back in my mind due to a nasty thing circling the interwebs being planned for April. (NO I will not be elaborating on that.)

Medusa was a handmaiden in the temple of Athena. Poseidon took an interest in her and took advantage of her. Athena punished Medusa for this by turning her into a gorgon.

So, because she fell victim to the god of the seas, she was made so “Ugly” that no one could look upon her or turn to stone.

Sorry, today I am just so tired and I can’t gather my thoughts. So instead I am asking for you to tell me what interests you?

Wild Wednesday

So many topics…. what should I talk about?

Imbolc. Brigitmas. Candlemas.

The day has several names. We celebrate in early February. It is Brighid’s Day. A day of light and joy. It is the beginning of Spring. (Today)

From here on we will start to see the new shoots of budding plants.

I am an eclectic pagan and I am always open to the gentle discussion about religion…but note that I said gentle. I was kicked out of a “Christian” church because I didn’t fit their idea of a good girl. They never asked me what caused my situation. So I don’t handle people that try to punish me for not being a believer in the same faith as they have well. However I will be fine with civil discourse on the topic.

Webcomics Wednesday

Did you ever watch the Care bears? Ever want to see the bears get up to shenanigans? Then I have the perfect comic for you! Bear Nuts! The art is very reminiscent of the show, but the humor is more twisted and has a lot of a darker twist to it. I highly recommend this one.

Poetry is for every day

So for the last month I have been posting a poem at least daily. That was due to the fact that during November and April I tend to do the poem a day writing challenge. When I first started to do the challenges I struggled with the daily writing. I don’t struggle as much anymore. I am going to have to think about how to do the challenge in April to be a actual challenge.

However, that being said I want to point out that the poetry I posted was not the only poetry out there. Poetry is an enjoyable all of the time. And there is an incredible amount of poets out there. All social media sites have hashtags. Look for #poetryisnotdead or #poetrylovers. You won’t regret it.
