The premise

Pagan Blog Prompts is a place to find inspiration for writing in your own blog concerning Pagan themes. Each Thursday, a new thought-provoking prompt is posted. Take the idea and run with it - let all your thoughts flow through your fingers and into your blog. Then come back here and comment on the original prompt post with a link to your blog, so we can all see what it is that makes you tick.

Prompt: Dream Big

Another one taken from reader suggestions -

"I think we all dream of a sanctuary like Circle Sanctuary -- what would yours look like if you had the capital to make it happen? How would it support the community?"

If you're gonna dream, dream BIG!

Prompt: Witches and Warlocks

This week's prompt comes from some recent suggestions....

"Some men who are wiccans are reclaiming the name "warlock" in the tradition of women reclaiming the name "witch". Warlock is commonly said to mean oath breaker. What do you think? Can it/should it be reclaimed?"

I'd like to add:
Wouldn't it make more sense to have all Witches be called Witch, no matter their gender? Why do we need the distinction between males and females that practice magic?

Prompt: Bad Magic?

Is there a such thing as "bad" magic? If so, define it and differentiate it from "good" magic.

Update and Open Call

First off, I'd like to say a heartfelt "Welcome" to all of our newest followers! Glad you could find us! I hope you find lots of inspiration in these pages, either in our prompts or in the responses others have shared.

As a reminder, comments ARE moderated here. This is to keep our page free from spammers (which have taken to leaving comments in Korean or Japanese, and link to porn sites). I apologize if your comment doesn't show up for a couple days - I can forget to check in here on a daily basis. But trust that any honest comments from real people will be shared in time.

Can you believe we've been here since April 2009? With a new prompt each week, that's a lot of blog topic ideas to wade through! So be sure to skim our section on the left, the Labels section - those are all tags that have been used on prompts that may help you find something to write about. Or, if you'd rather, the Archives section is also on the left, where you can see the posts listed by date. Remember, you can go back to any previous prompt and respond - wherever the blogging mood takes you!

And now for the Open Call - I've gone through a LOT of my own ideas for prompts, and some days my stash just doesn't speak to me. So once again, I'm asking for input from my readers - What prompt ideas do YOU have? Perhaps something you've blogged about already that you'd like to see others consider... or ideas that never really materialized in your own blog. I want to hear 'em! I'll be storing them in a document on my computer so I can pull from them each week. Who knows when you'll see your prompt show up here....

One last thing. I want to thank everyone for their positive comments and feedback regarding this blog. I started it up when Witches Weekly disappeared, and I never imagined it would do so well. It is because of you that I keep going, and will continue to provide thought-provoking ideas for your blogs. Thank you!

Prompt: Looking on the Bright Side

For a lot of people, finding the good in any situation is tough... but the old adage says to "look on the bright side" as a way to encourage you to search out the good in what appears to be nothing but bad.

Do you find strength to look on the bright side from your faith? Or does it come from somewhere else?

If you have trouble finding the good in everything, what steps would you take to change that?
