Men Who Love Womens Shoes
I love my flats and heels and have been wearing for many years the shoes don't define the person. I'm straight and have been married for 12 years and my wife has always supported me wearing women ...

British Legend: The Song of Taliesin
Once we use the word essence, we run into metaphysical difficulties, and scholastic thought tied itself in knots dealing with essence. I would prefer to say contact with the divine and leave the word essence out of the picture.
It would be ...

A Christian's Guide to Witchcraft and Wicca
Wisdom [Hebrew Hokhmah] was seen as a divine emanation that was along with shekinah [glory] and word [dabar] an intermediary between God and humans. The text is not Proverbs, but Wisdom 6:12-21, which speaks of Wisom as she. Wisdom, which was ...

British Legend: The Song of Taliesin
Isn't 'contact with God' just another way of saying 'in touch with the divine essence'? Expanding consciousness, touching awen and seeing beyond the doors of perception anyway.
I'm glad that we're in accord on the whole Gwion initiation into ...

A Christian's Guide to Witchcraft and Wicca
I'm loving the cheer-leading brigade in the rest of this. I agree that we have some amazingly talented writers giving us some excellent insight into religious and spiritual matters, but very little on Hinduism. Take your time, VioletteRose, but ...

A Christian's Guide to Witchcraft and Wicca
Frank - I'd certainly noticed that 'in male and female he created them'. It was when I was (half-jokingly) rowing with a friend, who was being (equally playfully, I hope) very misogynist. I was finding all of the hints towards a Goddess in the ...

You Must Visit Pioneer Village in Toronto
I often think how much the world has progressed in the past two centuries. Being who and how I am now, I couldn't see myself living in the past. Maybe 20 years ago, but not farther back :). Okay, maybe the 1960s and 1970s would be okay too :) . ...

7 Things About Modern Life That Make Me Want to Run Screaming for the Nearest Desert Island
Maybe we will, Dustytoes!
I got my first 'smart' phone just before Christmas, and there are some aspects of it I find really handy - but about 90% of it, I just don't know how to use. And it takes me forever to write any text on it, because ...

7 Things About Modern Life That Make Me Want to Run Screaming for the Nearest Desert Island
Well WiseFool, I am you. I don't even have a smart phone. The only reason I would want one is to have a great little camera with me, and not for taking selfies or posting photos to FB. And how do people have the money to keep updating to the ...

Giant Forest Genets (Genetta victoriae): Ringtails of Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Uganda
As I said before, these creatures look so unfamiliar to me. So they were "collected" as a specimen only in 1901. I wonder, do scientists know how old these creatures are on an evolution timeline. I kept thinking today they reminded me of the ...

Italian Bread With Plum Tomatoes: The Joy of Bruschetta
I enjoyed your notes on plum tomatoes (the kind used in Neapolitan pizza, etc.). I like them a lot, too, but never paid attention to the specifics. I will from now on.
I also love olive oil on bread :-) and all your suggestions on bruschetta ...
