For those unfamiliar with what a Yule celebration looks like in a Heathen household (well half-Heathen anyway, TheScott being of the Catholic persuasion), GG and I decided to share with you what we did this year. Due to all the December festivities, TheScott and I hosted a (very) late Yule celebration this year. Growing up...
I ❤ Obama. No. I used to ❤ Obama. My political constitution is wavering. By most metrics, I am a liberal. I want equal rights and opportunities for all regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, politics or sexual orientation, and I believe the government should be able to intervene to enforce this equality. I don’t...
I just did it, that thing I said I would never do. A n00b asked a question,* and I got all puffed-up-affronted like a Pagan Old Fart (POF). I didn’t say it, but I have to admit, my initial response to their (numerous) queries was, “Um… get a book.” What happened?? How did I come...
Nominations for the annual Weblog Awards (aka the Bloggies) are now open! The Bloggies are in the twelfth year, an impressive feat given the ever-changing environment of the Interwebs. One of the ways the Bloggies has remained relevant in the online community is by being responsive to changes in the blogosphere. Every year, they modify...
Before we move on to the article… if you haven’t seen it, The Pagan Princesses were thrilled to be interviewed for an article in the Austin American Statesman. If you’re coming here for the first time based on that article, we hope you enjoy your tour of “The Realm” and come back again!* Comments are...
We are still on vacation, but I couldn’t resist sharing a list of top 10 lists that caught my attention. Whew! That was a mouthful. Er…an eyeful? Eh. Whatevs. I recommend these “year in review” posts for 2011: 10. Songs Streamed on Spotify 9. Flash Websites 8. Brand Disasters 7. Political Quotes 6. Facebook...
The princesses are on vacation this week, but we wanted to give you something to nibble on. Last year, Jax posted about the Christmas music. This got me thinking about the movies I like to watch every year for the holiday. Here are my top three: Christmas in Connecticut – Honky donkey! Meet me in...
<beep be beep beep beep…beep be beep beep beep…beep be bee> This is Jax speaking to you live from our Solstice studio, bringing you breaking news from The War on Christmas. Our royal roving reporter GG has been embedded with defending troops for the past few weeks. The TTP Network is a long-time supporter of...
In a letter to the citizens of Corinth, the early Christian evangelist Paul said that love is patient and kind, and is not envious, nor boastful, nor proud. It’s a beautiful message beautifully worded, and like many people, I have always found it uplifting. I was an adult, however, before I realized what I perceived...
Yesterday brought a momentous event to Peru. After nearly 100 years, the skeletal remains of 177 different Incans taken from Machu Pichu were returned. The remains were taken by an American explorer from Yale and then held at the university’s Peabody Museum. After years of failed diplomacy and ineffectual international legal action, Peru was granted...
I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a Pagan, but you don’t need to dance naked in the moonlight every 28 days* to know there’s something wrong in this country when the Pagan in my household is the one dragging the Christian out to buy a tree and sing carols around it. And with the...
Some friends of ours are hosting a shin-dig tonight with a jocular Krampus theme. “Krampus?,” you might ask (like I did), “what on earth is that?” Krampus is a character in winter stories told to children in parts of Austria, Slovenia and Croatia. More than a character, he’s a creature, a demon — and a...
