Prompt: Samhain 2011

It's that time of year again - Samhain is right around the corner!

What are your plans for this year? Or, if you're seeing this after the fact, what did you do?

Solo or in a group?
Honoring those loved ones that have passed on?
Welcoming the spirits into your home with a feast?
Working with a specific deity or pantheon toward a certain goal?

Show us your altar, too, if you want.

Update: Facebook Page

Just wanted to make a quick post to let you know that we now have a Facebook page you can follow. The feed from the blog is set to automatically post new Prompts on the FB page, so it's yet another way to keep up with us. Be sure to tell anyone you know that follows us that is on FB, or feel free to invite some new people to join us in this blogging journey.

The FB page is at http://www.facebook.com/paganprompts

While the posts will show up on FB, please still come back to the blog directly (http://paganprompts.blogspot.com) to post links back to your blogs as comments to the prompt which you are responding... Thanks.

Prompt: Sex Magic

How do you feel about using Sex in magic?
Have you ever performed The Great Rite for ritual?
In general, how does sex mingle with your spirituality?

Update: Poll

Hi everyone! I know I usually don't do posts like this, but sometimes I just have to take a couple minutes to let you know I appreciate you following me. As I've said before - because you guys keep responding to my posts, I keep making them. :)

But that's not the main reason for this post - Actually, I'm curious. I was getting to thinking about it, and I started to wonder... where did you guys find me from? How did you end up here?

So I created a poll on the side of the blog, where you can let me know what brought you here, if you don't see your reason listed, vote Other and feel free to comment here with an explanation, if you want.

This is also a chance for me to ask for more suggestions... I'm working through a lot of the ones I've already received, but since this blog is about you and not me, I want to post ideas that you would be interested in blogging about. Leave any suggestions you have for topics here, please.

Thanks again for keeping this alive for so long!

Prompt: Energy in Objects

Do you believe in channeling energy (either your own or from other sources) into objects for a goal or purpose?

Do you conduct rituals to charge objects (with moonlight, water, salts, etc)?

Is the world just a bunch of energy, that we are moving and bending to our will (magic)?

Run with it! I'm sure there's lots of directions you guys can take this...

Prompt: Artwork

Share with us some of your favorite artwork, whether it be pagan in nature, created by a pagan, or otherwise touches your spiritual side. Tell us why you love it so much. And pictures - we love pictures!
