Today, 30 December, is the end of Mercury's current retrograde period. Seems about right that we be setting new goals for ourselves, whether in the form of New Year's Resolutions or simply as results of the inner journey from the retrograde period.
So, feel free to share whichever you are comfortable with... Personal New Year's resolutions, goals for you and your projects, or steps you plan to take in your spiritual journey, in 2011 and beyond.
The premise
Prompt: Family and the Holidays
The holidays can be stressful on most people, and I'm sure they can be even tougher when you hold beliefs that the rest of your family is not so fond of....
As you join with friends and family this Holiday season, how do you deal with differences in beliefs that may arise at gatherings? You might think "just don't bring it up", but what if someone else does?

Prompt: Yule Plans
Yule is this coming Tuesday, 21 Dec. Have any plans yet? Ritual with friends/coven, or perhaps just a solitary night alone with your chosen deities?
If you don't get to this before Yule, feel free to share with us what you did this year.

Prompt: Ethics and the Economy
We all know the economy is in a downward spiral as of late, and because of that, people have become willing to sell just about anything they can to make some extra money. While selling material goods is one thing, how do you feel about people that charge for spiritual services?
For example, does it make one a bad person if one sells Tarot or Palm readings to make ends meet? What about the folks who offer spiritual advice and guidance without divination tools, and charge for that service? Is this really a matter of ethics at all?

Prompt: Vegetarian...?
How does being a Pagan affect your view on Vegetarians?
Does your love and respect for nature and living things lead you to stay away from meat? Or is it more based on the nature of the food processing that bolsters your distaste for meat?
If you are of the carnivorous branch of humans, does your Pagan view on life make you feel guilty at all? Does it affect the choices you make when you shop for meat in the store?
