Beginning with a quip about my future as the ‘Buddha of Grumpiness, why do we expect people trying to be spiritual to always be ‘nice’?

Some thoughts relating to the psychic irresponsibility of most people living today, and the implications for empaths. Further thoughts about safety in groups and life for parents after teenagers (yes, they can be survived, and it may be possible to heal yourself after they leave … * ), and a bunch of reading links about Heathens, Pagan Prison Ministry, rituals, privacy, the flaws of good intentions, discipline, bullies, violent sexism, reducing recidivism, and a ludicrous management decision.

Sleep patterns in modern society, and de-stressing – including decluttering, which means I have given up on the Order of Hermes Australia (for LGBTIQ pagans) and the Grove of Gyhldeptis.

The phrase in the title is not mine, and I haven’t been able to find the original source, but it has been useful for me to prompt people to think about ethical issues. That is followed by some thoughts about communication, including memories from childhood, the spiritual vacuum in society and the foolishness of the Bodhisattva Vow.

This film shows some truly appalling indulgence of violent behaviour, and tries to write it off as “just …”. Bull. The behaviour should have been called out, and the person taught why it was wrong.
I also provide a few links about discrimination, abuse of the environment, attitudes to cancer, parenting and suicide by children.

After considering the nature of reality, and how this physical realm came into being, I consider that failing to ‘agree to disagree’ was the ultimate cause of what can now be genuinely regarded as ‘evil’.

Note: I have stopped trying to keep my list of rituals up to date in the blogiography. For an up to date list, see here.


A ritual for the Southern Litha / Northern Yule, part of my planet-wide Sabbat rituals series.

A ritual for the Southern Samhain / Northern Beltane, part of my planet-wide Sabbat rituals series.

A ritual for the March Equinox, part of my planet-wide Sabbat rituals series.

A ritual for the Capricorn Full Moon, part of my Esbat rituals series.

Things to d before my second Saturn return, and … is SETI fundamentally flawed, a possible reason for not charging for psychic stuff, flaws of those who consider faith issues, Karen Mutton's book "Lobsang Rampa: New Age Trailblazer", excessive lip flapping, and a few other things such as a pagan version of the Serenity Prayer and what can be learned from footy (REAL footy – Aussie Rules :) ) and terms for the various forms of psychic sensing.
