Who is the 12 Step Witch?
I started casting circles and working nature magic at age 12. After practicing solitary for many years, I recently began working in the Reclaiming tradition. I began my journey to sobriety 10 years ago, and have been clean and sober for 7 years. I have a sponsor, sponsor other women, and have a homegroup (two, actually!) I do not speak for 12 step programs. This is my experience only. I blog anonymously out of respect for the anonymity tradition of 12 Step programs.

The Power of Inaction
Yesterday, I pulled the rune Isa. Ice is very cold and immeasurably slippery; it glistens as clear as glass and most like to gems; it is a floor wrought by the frost, fair to look upon. Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem In … Continue reading

Dependence
Pagans, in general, are a pretty independent bunch. I think many Pagans are drawn to one tradition or another because it offers them a way to be spiritual without a hint of being servile. It honors their independence, encourages them … Continue reading
