Spiritual growing pains are an important indicator that something is not right in our spiritual world. It may be that you are about to have a break through or a break down. It may be time for a big change. Whatever the reason, spiritual growing pains should not be ignored, because they tend to hold powerful and important information. Read more
The thing that irritates me about the term fluffy bunny, is it leads to a misconception that Witchcraft, Wicca, or Paganism is hard. By hard I mean, stiff, difficult, unyielding, or cruel, which is utter crap. Read more
I talk to a lot of people who think they have been cursed. When someone has a string of bad luck - car issues, money problems, fighting with a lover, health scares, loss of pet - it is easy to blame that on a curse.
