- The Death of Working Dishwasher Detergent (and what you can do about it)
Sep 04 2011I know this will rub many Pagans and Wiccans the wrong way, but I was dismayed to learn about why it seems that today’s automatic dishwasher detergents don’t really clean dishes. Not that long ago, you could put dishes in the dishwasher and have reasonable expectations that your dishes would come out, well, clean enough [...]
- FDA about to ban most natural supplements, vitamins, and superfoods in US
Jul 16 2011It seems the FDA recently had an exciting 4th of July weekend. On the Friday before that long weekend, it proposed in a 47-page document that all nutritional and supplemental ingredients be required to file with the FDA to prove their safety. And the kicker is that it is retroactive back to 1994! What this [...]
- Twists and Turns, Downs and Ups
Jul 11 2011It has been quite a long and unexpected hiatus since I last published an article, but I have not forgotten you, dear reader. For my family, it has been a time of darkness and light, but most of all a time of growth. As some of you may have noticed, we moved away from the [...]
- The King is Dead! Long Live the Hero!
Jun 25 2009The King of Pop is dead and all the world’s astir. As has been done to the heroes of old, many epic tales will be told of Michael Jackson’s life. In my view, he is a true modern hero. Not in the western sanitized sense, where one lives a sinless life giving everything to others, [...]
- Helping Others Help Themselves
Jun 15 2009Over the years I have looked for good charities to support that are honest in their desire to truly help others on their Path. There are many excellent charities, but many of them focus on giving hand-outs. There are food banks, homeless shelters, charities that give money and yet others that give necessities to those [...]
- Death of a Religion
Feb 08 2009Many are claiming that the world as we know it is coming to an end. They are right. Things will be different when the dust settles. About 600 years ago, scholars in Western Europe learned they could break down physical phenomena in the world and understand it through studying the component parts. Over time, this [...]
- Dark Days of Change
Nov 09 2008Though it has been five months since we moved from the Upper-Midwest to the California Republic, our adjusting is still going on. Now I know why they say it takes a year to adjusting to living in a new country. Just moving from one part of the US to another is taking many months, much [...]

- Living Within Your Climate
Jul 20 2008Eberhardt wrote an interesting article on Living Within Mother Earth – Breaking the Bottled Water Habit that made me think a focus more on some thoughts I’ve had recently. He wrote about how bottled water is negative on us and the earth in many ways, along with how regular American city tap water is more [...]
- Journey Through the Depths and Heights of the Earth
Jun 14 2008After driving our family about 1700 miles (2800 Km), we have finally arrived and have settled a bit in our new home in the San Gabriel Valley of California. We arrived in the LA area on June 1 and officially moved into our townhome on June 2. Things are beginning to settle a bit, but [...]
