		<title>Carrying On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a couple of changes in my life recently that have impacted my practice in different ways, but have together helped me see where I&#8217;m going a bit more clearly.
One is that my income has basically disappeared, so that I am living even closer to the bone for the foreseeable future as I try [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=twilightandfire.wordpress.com&blog=5094668&post=579&subd=twilightandfire&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Options for Black Friday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(This post is mostly directed at the Americans reading this. We sure do love our consumer goods! &#8220;Black Friday&#8221; refers to the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, which is the biggest shopping day of the year as millions of people turn out to malls, stores and shopping centers in search of sale items [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=twilightandfire.wordpress.com&blog=5094668&post=565&subd=twilightandfire&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>For Thanksgiving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We honor the predators and the prey,
those who stalk and devour,
and those who fall and are devoured.
Hail to thee, throughout the Nine Worlds.
We honor the hunters and the game,
those who give chase and kill,
and those who flee and are slain.
Hail to thee, throughout the Nine Worlds.
We honor the fisher-folk and the fish,
those who cast nets [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=twilightandfire.wordpress.com&blog=5094668&post=562&subd=twilightandfire&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Call for Submissions: Frey Devotional</title>

		<title>Thief of Hearts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thief of hearts,
you have ransacked
this beggar&#8217;s hut,
left me
nothing.
All I see
now
is the print
of your pilfering hand
everywhere.

		<title>Book Review: Books of Hours</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Book of Hours: Prayers to the Goddess and Book of Hours: Prayers to the God represent something of a departure from the norm for Pagan publishing in that they are not &#8220;Wicca/Neo-Paganism 101&#8243; texts nor are they compilations of magical correspondenses, tables and spells. These are genuine books of hours arranged for daily, seasonal, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=twilightandfire.wordpress.com&blog=5094668&post=550&subd=twilightandfire&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>On Monastic Restrictions: Personal Conduct</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a much longer entry here which explained why and how I arrived at my guidelines for personal conduct as a monastic. The more I wrote the more explaining I felt I had to do, which made the post even longer and more tedious. I did say I&#8217;d explain, however. For those who are [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=twilightandfire.wordpress.com&blog=5094668&post=544&subd=twilightandfire&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>On Monastic Restrictions: Clothing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Interestingly, there has been some debate in the last couple of decades about whether or not Catholic nuns should forgo wearing the habit entirely. Some feel that modest clothing and maybe a head covering is enough, while more traditional orders (particularly cloistered ones) have retained the full habit. Since I am neither a member of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=twilightandfire.wordpress.com&blog=5094668&post=539&subd=twilightandfire&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Pagan Prayer Beads: Another Interpretation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Galina Krasskova has written an article called &#8220;Retooling the Rosary&#8221; that might interest Norse-inclined Pagan readers of this blog, particularly those who were raised Catholic and miss the familiarity of the Rosary.
