Taylor Ellwood, author of “Pop Culture Magic” and more, offers his thoughts on using popular culture as a new approach to Chaos Magic.

What happens when you pile a bunch of female Christians, Jews, Hindus, Native Americans, and Muslims in one place? In the case of Celebrating the Sabbath or Holy Dayat the Shenendehowa United Methodist Church, something wonderful.

I love eating out, as does my husband. Many married couples have hobbies; our problematic hobby is that we love to go to restaurants. For awhile we were pretty out of control. We would eat out to celebrate. We would eat out because we had a bad day. We would eat out because we were going to be out running errands. We would eat out because we just didn’t want to cook. Fortunately, with some kicking and screaming, almost entirely from me, we have managed to cut back on the eating out. It’s hard and I don’t like it, but unfortunately I’m getting older and my metabolism is slowing down. It’s better to eat healthy at home. Of course, we make exceptions, as we did this past weekend.

Technically this is old news, but it has recently been brought to my attention by my Pennsylvanian Pagan peeps (that’s right, I have peeps). What it comes down to is that marriage laws, are in fact, horribly confusingand just got made worse.

I know you should be in the middle of celebrating Banned Books Weekbut I felt the need to interrupt. Last month the world became a little less warm when author Madeleine L’Engle passed away.

Ah, the confusion. For some reason there are always creatures of myth that appear to be impossible to pin down. Just when I think I know what it’s all about, I turn the page and realize that no one knows. Case in point, this month’s creature imdugud.

As we’ve been learning, sometimes the seemly simple symbols can have the most diverse and profound meanings. When Jim asked me what I was writing about his month and I told him the dot, well, he gave me that look that says, Oh really?Well, yes, yes I am.
