What is Your Favorite Holiday Movie?
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...
Spotlight on Local Charitable Works: Glitter Gives Back
As you might imagine, Jax and I have pretty cool friends. Some of our cool friends are doing wonderful charitable works in our community. Since part of being a Pagan Princess is being (a Pagan) part of your wider community, we wanted to spotlight our friends’ wonderfulness. This is the first in a series of...
Burning Man Celebrates 25 Years of paganism
This is a summer of notable anniversaries! The Pagan Princesses blog turned one year old last month, an event indelible in everyone’s psyche, surely. Ginger Rogers was born 100 years ago! (I ❤ Ginger Rogers.) The Titanic launched 100 years ago. One thousand years ago, Vikings plundered Canterbury. And this week, Burning Man turns 25....
A Week of Live Music in Austin
My post this week isn’t very pagan-y. I’m still stoked about my vacation and wanted to share some of it with you. I spent last week frolicking with my niece, Samantha, who is about to be a senior at Auburn University.* She is a newly minted “real” adult as she recently turned 21. She has...
The Challenges of Celebrating as a Community in a Non-Pagan World
As noted last week, I’ve been on vacation for the past two weeks (in fact, I wrote my last post in the airport). TheScott and I visited New York City and Washington DC, and while in DC, we checked out the National Museum of the American Indian. Let me just say that if you...
Take a Listen to Toni Price
Jax and I are still on vacation, but we’ll be back next week! I have been spending my vacation with my niece, Samantha. She just turned 21, so I have been taking her to clubs in Austin to hear some live, local music. I will post more on who, what and where later. But for...
Take a Look at TED Talks
Hello realm! The princesses are on vacation this week, but we wanted stay in touch. If you aren’t familiar with TED Talks, you should take a look. The videos are informative and often inspiring! Here’s a short talk that is both funny and educational! 100% of the children that had not eaten the marshmallow were...
Oh Thor, Mighty God of Thunder!
For a Heathen, I’m not a huge fan of Thor.* He’s always struck me a little too much like the stereotypical jock of Asgard. You know, that pretty boy who swings first and asks questions later. The one who’s defending the status quo with his big muscles and no thought about why (Jotunn bad; Thor...
More Fun With Music: What Popular Tunes Inspire You?
Around Yule I posted about secular seasonal music. Commenters seemed to have fun with that, providing their own awesome suggestions, and I learned a lot of great new music. Well, spring is upon us, so I propose a new musical showcase! Here are some of my favorite secular songs that make me feel all inspired...
Winning PR (Or… Not)
This post has been challenging to write because, at my core, I do not believe in censorship. When push comes to shove, I will defend your legal right to perform whatever you want on camera (provided you aren’t lying or physically harming somebody) and distribute it however you see fit. However, believing someone has the...
Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark – Some Seriously Hot Pagan Reads
I just finished Kresley Cole’s latest novel, Dreams of a Dark Warrior, and I can’t help it; I gotta rave about one of my favorite series. Ever since I first discovered Anne Rice in high school, I have been an urban fantasy/paranormal romance junkie. I have devoured everyone...
