a blog for me to write about my random thoughts on heathenry, paganism, CR, and witchcraft. My name is Morgan Daimler and I have been pagan since 1991. I am a heathen and practitioner of seidhr, a Druid in the Order of the White Oak, and a witch in the Crossroads Tradition. I have written poetry for several anthologies, including the Pagan's Muse and Pagan Writer's Present Samhain and Yule, as well Circle magazine and Witches and Pagan's magazine. I also have articles on witchvox.com and my other blog at lairbhan.blogspot.com. I have a couple books out that deal with traditional Celtic prayer and magic based on material from the Carmina Gadelica. Maybe this blog will be more fun and less serious than my other one ; )
