Pre-wedding concerns...

Preparing for a wedding is not an easy task as many imagine. Sure the idea of marriage is blissful and exciting, but the journey to the altar can be paved with doubts, fears and confusion, as well as excitement.

For starters excitement can take on the many faces of anxiety, nervousness and fear that can drive many couples running in opposite directions.  However, keep in mind its normal to have a number of thoughts jumping back and forth before the big day. Regardless of your traditional or non-traditional views all couples will experience some form of doubt or concern while getting ready for the wedding day.

The logic behind some of my posts...

I recently wrote a blog on addiction, which I know might make a few wonder why I would include should a topic in this site. For starters let me state I work with addicts and have done so for over 30 years. In my experience addiction contributes to the dynamics of both family and couples on many levels.

To provide understanding of a problem that impacts many, does not mean I expect my readers to endure the pain that accompanies being involved with an addict, nor does it mean I encourage people to remain if they wish to leave.

Views on Addiction

By the time a person is aware or able to admit they are an addict, it’s usually the result of numerous hardships they’ve come to face, sucht he loss of income, employment, significant relationships, etc. The trouble with addiction is that many have a stereotypical idea of what an addict is,which means they might not always recognize addiction as an issue until it’s too late. People often look for losses or certain appearances to help them determine if they truly have an addiction problem or not. For example, folk shave become aware of the crack addict or needle using heroin addict as an example of an addict or the vicious drunk who insults everyone and wakes up to a bottle daily.

The Cost of Wedding Ceremonies

When it comes to a wedding, couples are often worried about budgeting for food and decorations, etc, often missing the main point of the whole event. “The wedding ceremony” The whole idea of getting married is not about how nice things look, or how expensive the dinner napkins are. Its about the exchanging of vows and creating a foundation for years to come based on those vows.  

There are many details involved in planning a wedding. However, the ceremony is truly one of the most significant pieces of the wedding and the one that require serious thoughts and preparation.

Preparing Your Vows

 Practical Steps

  • Obtain wedding Officiant
  • Discuss details of the vows with your partner.Decide whether or not you will write vows together. Decide if you will share the vows prior the wedding or wait until the special day to share them with each other. Decide how long or short your vows will be.  Also discuss what would be considered too private to share in a public ceremony.
  • Discuss whether there will be on any religious references. Decide if you will make it a religious ceremony or not. If  there are different faiths involved, decide if the service should be spiritually designed to blend both faiths.

Witch Wars or Religious Self-righteousness

I've been thinking a lot about the similarities between the pagan community and the traditional right-wing religions of today. Though both communities like to think they are uniquely different and serve a greater purpose, they are both becoming more similar then different.


As the years have evolved, the pagan community in its attempts to be taken seriously and looked at as a real religion has developed a bit of an ego. And sadly within its own walls members are competing vigorously for the role of Queen Witch or Elder of the Universe, simply because they wish to be respected and taken seriously.

Making Demands

Gods don't give us special treatment because we survive a crisis or had a painful life. Our experiences are our life lessons and not a reason to be treated special or have special privileges granted.   Many of us  get into self pity mode when things don't work and blame the universe for bad luck. But the fact is stuff happens and luck has little to do with it at times.   Sure you might have the type of luck where trains run you over or a flying toilet seat from an airplane hits you on the head. But do you really think the universe has nothing better to do then plot revenge on your narcissistic butt?   And if the universe has it in for you.  Ask yourself what did YOU do to obtain such wicked karma? Do you act like some entitle brat that thinks the world owes you? Do feel self righteous about your pretend good intentions. And think the world owes you a big thank you? Do you constantly envy the blessings of others and feel it should be you? Cause guess what? The universe does not cater to brats who make demands If you want the universe to listen. Be humble and genuine. The more we demand and plead to the universe based on the believe we "deserve" special treatment the less results we obtain. The key has a lot to do with balance and harmony. When we become demanding we are not operating from a place of balance but rather from a place of desperation. Which often means our ego is directing our efforts and what we demand is often coming from a spoil brat position rather then real deficiency in our life Next time you make demands to the universe and it doesn't happen your way. Ask yourself am I beng a king baby who wants what they want or simply a fragile soul who wants to be rescued from truly bad luck?
