Little Brighid:
A UPG introduction to Brighid for children

The Daghda was a mighty warrior. King to a people known as the Tuatha de Danann. He was wide and strong, carrying a heavy magical club that could harm his enemies, or bring life to the fallen. He was never hungry, because he had a magical cauldron that was always full of food no matter how much he ate.

A Simple Yule Tradition: Seeking the Light

When I first began celebrating my faith, it was a very personal, singular and solitary experience.

As I joined my grove and then began celebrating with my then boyfriend, I wanted to create a tradition that could be celebrated no matter the finances. Something that would be meaningful and help us celebrate Continue reading A Simple Yule Tradition: Seeking the Light

Post Election: Daring to Hope?

Yesterday, I read a few mean-spirited, gloating posts and I heard jokes from well-intended people who do not understand the fears of many of their fellow Americans.

And for many hours, I lost hope.

For me, this was an incredible loss. To feel that the country around me was so disenfranchised that they put their vote in someone who preached such hate. To give the highest title an elected Continue reading Post Election: Daring to Hope?

Grove inclusiveness: The eternal clique debate

So I have been hearing a phrase so much in the last few years it has planted a seed in my brain and now I feel it has been given a chance to grow into what I hope is a helpful, concise explanation of expectations of a faith family.

Here’s the plan, Stan.

Hello all! I’m Traci, aka Mythical Magpie. As it says on my About Me page, I’m a pagan mom who loves to create and is obsessed with gaming.

I see my tastes quite like a magpie as I gather the things around me that I love and make them my world. I sculpt, sew, crochet, paint, write and draw…much like a Jill of all Trades, I’m definitely not the master of any of the aforementioned listed skills, but I love them and they make me happy!

We’re in the process of migrating from my blogger page over here and I hope to begin a regularly scheduled series of updates.

I plan to have a regular schedule of the four topics:

  • Gaming
  • Crafts
  • Spirituality
  • Family

I will alternate blog and youtube video tutorials and hope you will find at least one topic that keeps you wanting more!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you back here soon!
