Bridget's Fire: Pointers, storms, and soft rain. . .

http://bridgetsfire.blogspot.com/2012/08/pointers-storms-and-soft-rain.html

Friday, August 10, 2012. Pointers, storms, and soft rain. . . I am sitting in a rare soft rain, this morning, between full moon and upcoming new, thinking about wonderful conversations this past week with friends. When a biotech engineer and a public defense attorney both call me a "seeker" within one week, I kinda found myself taken aback. A seeker? But he also referred to himself as a seeker, and talked with me about the difficult problems of inner city gardening - from kids trashing the plants, and ne...

Bridget's Fire: Appalachian dulcimer and the world a-changing

http://bridgetsfire.blogspot.com/2012/07/appalachian-dulcimer-and-world-changing.html

Sunday, July 1, 2012. Appalachian dulcimer and the world a-changing. Went to Portage, Pennsylvania, last night, to the wonderful Portage Mountain Dulcimer Day with yearly dulcimer-player Bing Futch. With a dad hailing from a little place known as Chuckey, Tennesse, I have spent my life running up and down the blue ridge to dulcimer festivals. And I do love them - but I am often the only nose-ringed and dreadlocked person there! The way it should be. I remember the year that my granddaddy died. These appl...

Bridget's Fire: June 2010

http://bridgetsfire.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Sunday, June 27, 2010. Hippie Tarot for Everybody. I've used tarot personally for over 25 years, taught tarot to Pagan and Christian groups, been the tarot reader for parties, used tarot for clients, family and friends. I have a multiplicity of decks, all that I love for different reasons and needs, and recently wrote some tarot articles to introduce cards to new readers. So I write about tarot as invitation. Come play with cards. They are such fun. You can download the entire Morgan Tarot. The great arc...

Bridget's Fire: Bridget Quilts!

http://bridgetsfire.blogspot.com/2013/04/bridget-quilts.html

Monday, April 29, 2013. I've been making and selling quilts to Bridget for over two years now! And two of my small scapular necklaces have been accepted into a local juried show, Lost and Found: Sustainable Fashion at the Sweetwater Center for the Arts. I have never submitted, nor ever thought I could be accepted, to a juried show! I dropped off my scapulars this morning at the Center, and am still amazed at how life unfolds when practicing puja. So I filled out applications and struggled with online sub...

Bridget's Fire: Lugh the Comforting

http://bridgetsfire.blogspot.com/2013/08/lugh-comforting.html

Thursday, August 1, 2013. Where has the summer gone? For me it has been days and days of homework, driving kids to camps and swim meets, working, plus searching for a clinical internship for my counseling degree. Full time grad school, work, kids, the usual. I started this week in a clinical internship at a huge local agency providing services to families with kids on the autism spectrum, working as a clinical counseling intern! Thus for Lughnasadh 2013 I have so much to be thankful for! Now on Celtic re...

Bridget's Fire: December 2010

http://bridgetsfire.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 24, 2010. Christmas Eve Communion Revisited: the Changing Church. I have been getting wonderful letters from friends near and far about whether or not I should take communion at church services tonight. The most common response: What is the big deal? Liberal one. Instead, these church women (so far all are women) are saying that the definition of church that they ascribe to Jesus' ministry is an open one. This is a meaningful change. Tonight is my night with Ord Brighideach, the internat...

Sunday, October 21, 2012. New life and Marian Grottos. . . I have been busting my gut at my fall practicum this semester, hence a sparse number of posts on Bridgetsfire! Marian grottos do not require denominational affiliation. Pagan me has never had lightning strike me down in a grotto! A good ritual and a good puja. This halloween, go find a Mary Cave. Let go of knowing, and see what you create. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Fight to keep the Internet Free! Bridgets Fire Is Born. FOR THE LOVE OF ...

Bridget's Fire: Women's Sexuality and Animal Spirit Guides

http://bridgetsfire.blogspot.com/2013/05/womens-sexuality-and-animal-spirit.html

Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Women's Sexuality and Animal Spirit Guides. One of the greatest gifts this past spring was my first group counseling program ever. Despite opposition from my school professors, and incredulity from my grande dame certified sexuality therapist supervisor, I put together a group on women's sexuality and animal spirit guides. And the group rocked. And this officially marks a combining of my blogs and life! This puja blog to Bridget and my coaching and soon to be counseling blog all r...

Bridget's Fire: April 2010

http://bridgetsfire.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 30, 2010. John Punshon and Opening Doors. I taught feminist theology at the Quaker school, Woodbrooke College, in Birmingham, England, many, many years ago. One of their first bi/lesbian tutors, I think I shocked the school! Yup, I'm that old! I remember feeling ghosts in old Quaker meetings and spirits floating across the moors. I am not nor have I ever been Quaker, but I loved the history of this so radical Protestant group. So when people ask, and they do, "Why do you go to church? Many ...
