The Wisdom of the Turnings
Happy Memorial Day! For many of us, this day marks the unofficial beginning of summer. But the land keeps its own calendar. This essay reflects on the sacred year here in Kansas City as it turns through migrating wings, hedge apples, first frost, thawing clay, and spring storms.https://pagangrove.wordpress.com/2026/05/25/the-spirituality-of-seasonal-transitions/
Touch Grass: A Pagan Take on this Online Insult
What if “touch grass” is more than an internet insult? This Pagan reflection explores how stepping away from online noise can become a small spiritual practice—one that brings us back to land, body, season, and the world still holding us.https://pagangrove.wordpress.com/2026/05/13/touch-grass-a-pagan-take-on-this-online-insult/
Making a #Introduction is kind of intimidating, but I'll try...
Hi! I'm Nicole/Nic. I'm an #ElderMillenial living in the #woods in the #PNW with my #puppy in a little purple cottage I built. I'm ambivalent about pronouns, but they/them is good.
I'm a #queer #nonbinary #unschooling #parent of two teens. In my previous life
I was an #RN, but thanks to a #BrainTumor and #dysautonomia, I'm now #disabled with #ChronicMigraine, #ChronicPain, and #POTS. Also, #HardOfHearing / #SingleSidedDeaf, #FacialParalysis, and #ExecutiveDysfunction. Now I'm a #RadicalHomemaker and a wannabe #farmer. When my body is up for it I piddle around outside #building things, doing #projects, learning about whatever interests me, and trying my best to be a good #LandSteward to the forest. And since being #rural can be kind of lonely, I listen to a lot of #leftist and #comedy podcasts.
In addition to my kids and coparent, I share my yard with my #chickens and #ducks, a small, young #FoodForest, #flower and #herb gardens, and lots of #NativeForest with all the native critters. I'm an #anticapitalist, #anarchist ( #anarchocommunist ), #buddhist, #EarthCenteredSpirituality, #lgbtq, #queer ( #Butch4Butch & #T4T ), #polyamorous, #RelationshipAnarchist.
Here's a bunch of tags of other things that interest me:
