On Boredom

Morninghawk Apollo posted an article on - Sep 25, 2011, 6:13 pm
Our society is fascinated, even obsessed, with boredom. In school, teachers do all they can to make learning more fun. At work, people steal moments here and there regularly to entertain themselves. Prior to the web, they did this at the water cooler. Now, the water cooler has gone online and they p...

Quest for Good Wiccan/Pagan Children's Books

Morninghawk Apollo posted an article on - Sep 12, 2011, 8:02 pm
I was looking for books for Wiccan and Pagan kids for our children. It’s one thing to learn about something from one’s parents, but reading about it from others can help reinforce what is being taught. I haven’t looked to see what books are out there in a while, so I didn’t quite know what t...

The Death of Working Dishwasher Detergent (and what you can do about it)

Morninghawk Apollo posted an article on - Sep 4, 2011, 2:00 pm
I know this will rub many Pagans and Wiccans the wrong way, but I was dismayed to learn about why it seems that today’s automatic dishwasher detergents don’t really clean dishes. Not that long ago, you could put dishes in the dishwasher and have reasonable expectations that your dishes would com...

Focus and Discipline

Morninghawk Apollo posted an article on - Aug 28, 2011, 3:44 pm
I performed  a dark moon ritual last night and was reminded of something that most people need to be reminded of periodically. I was told many people don’t receive what they are seeking because they lack proper focus and discipline. Many people develop their will and know (or think they know) wha...

FDA about to ban most natural supplements, vitamins, and superfoods in US

Morninghawk Apollo posted an article on - Jul 16, 2011, 2:23 pm
It seems the FDA recently had an exciting 4th of July weekend. On the Friday before that long weekend, it proposed in a 47-page document that all nutritional and supplemental ingredients be required to file with the FDA to prove their safety. And the kicker is that it is retroactive back to 1994! Wh...

Twists and Turns, Downs and Ups

Morninghawk Apollo posted an article on - Jul 12, 2011, 1:12 am
It has been quite a long and unexpected hiatus since I last published an article, but I have not forgotten you, dear reader. For my family, it has been a time of darkness and light, but most of all a time of growth. As some of you may have noticed, we moved away from the Los Angeles area back to Mi...

What Schools Really Teach: The Paralyzing Fear of Failure

Morninghawk Apollo posted an article on - Dec 18, 2010, 1:41 pm
I recently finished reading John Taylor Gatto’s book, The Underground History of American Education, and came to an amazing realization that affects me and nearly everyone else I know. Though he doesn’t say it directly in his book, I learned that the fear of failure in our society is taught in o...

Winds of Change Blow

Morninghawk Apollo posted an article on - Nov 22, 2010, 2:21 pm
It has been quite a while since I last posted, and I apologize for that. The winds of change are blowing on many levels and during the turbulence, I’ve lost my income like many others. During times like this, the Gods push us to take another, harder look at our will to make sure we truly know and ...

Kronos, Gatekeeper to Eternity

Morninghawk Apollo posted an article on - Jul 6, 2010, 6:33 pm
As you probably know, Ouranos and Gaia begat Kronos (Romanized as Saturn) who castrated his father. Kronos and Rhea begat Zeus, who overthrew his father in the epic war of the Titanomachy. But there is much more to the story I would like to shed light on. Many have interpreted the stories of Ourano...

On Abundance (or the lack thereof)

Morninghawk Apollo posted an article on - May 9, 2010, 2:48 pm
These times are tough for many people, and they are going to be a lot tougher for a while. We are in an economic storm that started in 2008 and is going to continue for at least the rest of the year. The “recovery” we saw was merely the eye of the hurricane. But does this mean there’s nothing...

Wiccan Ordination and Ministry Revisited

Morninghawk Apollo posted an article on - Apr 2, 2010, 2:05 pm
A couple years ago, I wrote an article on Wiccan Ordination and Ministry. It is an important topic (as you can see by the number of comments) that deserves revisiting, elaborating, and some revising. Over the last two years since that post, I have learned a lot about ministry from my Gods. I still ...

I previously wrote a ritual of cleansing with the dark goddess, where you can purge yourself of negative energy, evil spirits, and other spiritual malaise. Someone emailed me and told me that they had some negative side effects from the ritual. They said that when they approached their altar after ...

Mountain Vision

Morninghawk Apollo posted an article on - Dec 31, 2009, 2:33 am
I had a vision after our family Yule ritual and saw a great mountain rising up into the sky, beyond where I could see. The mountain was covered with many roads and paths, all meandering their way upward. It was the Mountain of Divinity, though it goes by various names in different religions, includi...

Finding and Connecting with Your Spirit Guides

Morninghawk Apollo posted an article on - Nov 23, 2009, 2:03 pm
One of the first steps in entering any of the Pagan religions, including Wicca, is to find your spirit guide and make contact with him or her.  Your spirit guide is frequently your first (or one of your first) spiritual entity you work with. When someone lives through thousands of lifetimes and mo...

Discovering Shadow

Morninghawk Apollo posted an article on - Sep 23, 2009, 2:53 pm
It is commonly known among Wiccans and Pagans that we all have a shadow-side to our personality.  There are a few rituals that work with this, but we nearly always focus on developing our  light-side. Our Shadow is normally merely something to reduce in ourselves or simply put up with. Since Mabon...

Dark Goddess Ritual Without Tools

Morninghawk Apollo posted an article on - Aug 30, 2009, 11:01 am
Many people have a lot of trouble with deep-seated negative emotions. I previously posted a cleansing ritual without tools that would clean a room of negativity and put up a barrier to allow only positive energy to enter. But what if the person living in the room is the source of the negativity? If...
