French Kissing - In French
In English we often call a very passionate kiss that involves the tongue, a French kiss. But like French fries and French toast, this isn't an expression that translates literally into French. So what is the idiom used in the French language? There are se

Roses in the Snow

Be the Change

Classic Books on Witchcraft
Neo-Pagan Witchcraft is a relatively new religion, and its nature doesn't lend itself well to a single book of doctrine or teachers – nor to a centralized structure with religious education classes and standard rituals of welcoming or conversion. Ma
DIY Lip Balm
It has been decades since I bothered much with commercial beauty products. Other than the most basic personal care products (shower gel, toothpaste, shampoo, etc.) I just don't buy the stuff. Except for lip balm. Lip balm and moisturizing hand lotion are
Death in the Family
We got news today of a death in the extended family. It's a relative that I never met, because of physical and emotional distances that existed long before I joined the family. I had never so much as exchanged an email with this person, or even friended he
Trouble in Paradise
In my younger days I used to sometimes spend a few days camping out on someone's farm or campground with a hundred or so other Pagans. These festivals were kind of tribal – a little like the other gatherings of the clans we read about. They were an o
Do You Grok? Heinlein's 'Stranger' Inspires Contemporary Pagans

Phantom Text Message
My cell phone has decided that I have an unviewed text message. From whom, I have no idea. What it says? I'm completely clueless as to what the content might be. Because my phone refuses to even show me where the message is, let alone to permit me open it
He Was Undercover, So Killing a Child Is OK....

Finding Your Tsu-ccess: A Social Media Tsu-torial

Annoying Blinking Ads
A while back, folks were upset by some rather graphic content that was coming up in ads from one of the advertising networks Persona Paper uses to generate income. I wasn't too keen on these particular ads, myself. Even though I prefer family-friendly co
Taking Stock of Progress
We've just gotten past the halfway point in the month, so I thought I would take a look at where I'm at with &DawnWriter's A-W Category Challenge. I had said I wanted to get through all thirty-six categories – from Animals to Writing – duri
Anime as a Teaching Tool

What, a Witch in the Nativity Play?
Most Honourable Casting Couch, I would like to humbly submit my application to join the cast of the first annual Friends of Persona Paper Nativity Play. I would direct my request to &Ellis as he seems to be the human in charge, but as an animist I hav
Let's Talk About Art: Double Dipping On Challenges
