Yule Weekend
Once again, I went to spend the weekend with my friends in NH, in order to ride to the Farm with them for Yule. When we got to the farm, I went in with W. and F., and settled in for a bit. I joined some of the other attendees in ornament making. Being a crafty person, I was all about making an ornament, but I had no freakin' clue what to make! ( Read more... ) -
No more grad school!
This will sound bitchy on the surface, but it's written in a spirit of joy, swear! :-P ( Read more... ) -
Samhain weekend
All right, this post is quite a bit late, but that's okay! :-)
Last Saturday, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, I spend Samhain weekend with some friends in New Hampshire. They're both spirit-workers, and the guy of the relationship is a shaman; though they're only a few years older than me, they're considerably knowledgeable about magic and the spirit world, ( Read more... ) -
My shamanic reading
In a recent post, I discussed my experiences at a local pagan BDSM event a few weeks ago. As I mentioned, they resulted in a number of insights on my part.

Pagan Event and the Aftermath
During the last weekend of September, I was camping out in Central Mass for Dark Moon Rising, which focused on the intersection of BDSM and pagan spirituality. It took place at Cauldron Farm, a farm (duh!) and homestead in Central Mass. Through the kindness of the organizer, I was able to find transportation to there from Boston. Here is my ( Read more... ) -
KFA Presentation #2: Political Correctness and Your Kink
Click here for my first post, which contains some information about the event where I was presenting.
Originally, I'd planned to give only one presentation. However, once I saw how impromptu things really were, and how one really didn't have to be an expert after all, I decided to take advantage of another empty slot so I could create a ( Read more... ) -
KFA Presentation #1: Law of Attraction
I attended the event Kink 4 All: Boston on September 12th. It was basically an "unconference" where the presentations are determined by whoever is there and wants to present something. We showed up and wrote our presentation titles and names in empty slots on a designated bulletin board. Very straightforward, really ( Read more... ) -
Parenthood = Non-consensual D/s?
As most people in the BDSM scene surely know, consent is the linchpin of ethical BDSM. You cannot spank someone, tie them up, pierce them, brand them, flog them, dominate them, or control their decisions unless you have obtained their prior consent. No one is your submissive, or even slave, nor does anyone owe you any deference or submission, until ( Read more... )
