Pagan Daily Devotionals

If you are not already familiar with this from my earlier website, the Pagan Daily Devotionals are a thought for the day. It's not supposed to be instructional necessarily, but something just for fun. Some days are jokes, puzzles, quotes, various spiritual thoughts and things you might be interested to know. Sometimes it's just an idea, and sometimes I suggest a way to use that idea during your day. It's really a mix of lots of Pagan stuff.

Gerald Gardner

Gerald GardnerGerald Brosseau Gardner was born in 1884, in Blundellands, England. He was the son of a local justice of the peace, and had three brothers. His family was no stranger to witchcraft. One of his ancestors was burned as a witch in 1610, and even Gardner's own grandfather married a women who was rumored to be a witch.

Being Pagan on a Budget

Let's face it, not everyone can afford $300 for a custom-made athame, or a one-of-a-kind silk robe. But having to work within a budget doesn't have to cause problems, and it certainly doesn't mean your a 'bad Pagan'.
