Prompt: Creativity

A simple question today - how do you combine Creativity and Spirituality? Do you craft all the things needed for your rituals? Do you create one (or a couple different) kind of tool for ritual that you then sell? Or is the art created in ritual enough to satisfy you soul for a while? Perhaps maintaining your Book of Shadows is your creativity exposed....

Feel free to share images if you'd like.

Prompt: Spring Planting

As the Wheel moves from the dark chilly winter into the brighter and cool spring, what seeds are you planting?

This could be literal seeds (herbs and veggies for your personal or community garden), or figurative (as in changes in yourself or your life and surroundings).

The seeds you plant now, when nurtured and fed, will define the harvest you reap in the Fall....

Prompt: In the Media

Pagans often get a bad rap when it comes to movies and TV. If witches aren't shown having green skin and a giant wart (think "Sleeping Beauty"), they are at least seen as connected to a darker side of reality (as in "Sleepy Hollow" or other movies with the village outcast being a witch). When they are shown in a more positive light, it's very light-hearted and less realistic (think "Charmed" and "Practical Magic"). Then there is the magic of Harry Potter that is more about fantasy.

Do you know of any movies or TV shows that cast Pagans and/or Witches in a positive and realistic light? What would it take to get a better impression of witches out in the media these days? Would better media exposure help raise awareness, do you think? Take this topic and run with it... Get your friends involved in the discussion, too.

Prompt: Moving

We all know that moving can be stressful, especially since it knocks us off our routine, however simple the things might be.

Since I just finished moving and I'm starting to settle in my new home, my question to you this week is:

How do you maintain a level head during such a stressful time, such as a move?
Do you make time to maintain certain daily rituals such as cleansing and meditating, or are those things lost to time? What keeps you from attacking everyone you meet?
