I intend to celebrate the Autumnal Equinox with pie and wine tonight. Homemade fruit pie, but not apple, which seems more Samhain appropriate. And a “Hail Dionysus, Lord of the Vine!” or two. Perhaps some music. And hopefully friends and family. But that is all.

So, you probably already heard about Kanye West’s stunt at the Video Music Awards. While Taylor Swift was accepting her award, West came on stage, snatched the microphone from her, and railed about how Beyonce should have won. This is not really new or unexpected behavior from Kanye West, but the fact that [...]

I have been tossing around this idea for awhile, but haven’t written much about it because I haven’t really done the research to write something good, something that will capture the idea that is looming in my head. But I want to jot down the idea now. Later on I will flesh it [...]

So, I don’t really like just praying off into the air. I like to have a depiction or a statue or something. My shrine to Aphrodite features a framed photo of William-Adolphe Bouguereau’s La Naissance de Vénus, which I think is beautiful, powerful, and erotic–in short, perfect for the goddess. But I [...]
Prayer to Apollo: For Poetry

Radiant Lord Apollo, god of the borderlands and leader of the muses, fill my mind with divine light and awaken the energy of my imagination that I may write poetry worthy to claim your inspiration. Lend me a portion of your glory that I may use it to compose poetry that glorifies you in [...]
Adam Lambert Got Robbed

My beautiful and sexy wife and I followed American Idol pretty closely this season, and I have to say that Adam Lambert seemed like the clear and obvious winner for pretty much the entire season. His performances consistently blew everyone else away. I was a fan of Megan Joy, and I was sad [...]
All Along The Watchtower

I just read a fantastic post by Egregores in which the author interprets “All Along The Watchtower”–which is in my opinion the single greatest rock song ever written, although I will stand by my assertion that the Jimi Hendrix version is by far the most superior–to be about Hermes and Dionysus. It’s really good [...]
