“Every single one of us has the potential to be a Rainbow Warrior. We can find ways to spread a little love, light, joy, and happiness on our paths. We can open our hearts and minds to the thinking of other people, listen honestly to what they have to say, acknowledge their right to their viewpoints, adjust our own viewpoint when new information becomes clear, and work to achieve common ground. Then, hopefully, like the first pale-colored rays appearing on the horizon, we will encourage others to join us and become a full circle of gloriously bent light.”

“Neopaganism is about accepting that no one is more responsible for my spiritual growth than the trinity of me, myself, and I. No one is more responsible for working to maintain stewardship of this planet and its occupants. No one is more responsible for ensuring that spirituality continues to be a forceful part of daily life. No one is more responsible for guaranteeing that humans have the right to investigate the truth for themselves, provided their beliefs and resulting actions cause no other person unnecessary harm or discomfort. Neopaganism is a spiritual practice that, having been born out of ancient times, has arisen to return the responsibility of life choices back to the individual so that we can no longer point a finger without noticing the three pointing back at ourselves.”

“Making a stew is like life itself: You gather together the resources you have available to you, toss them together, add in your own ideas, and let it simmer. But the 'make it or break it' part is the extra flavors you add. The seasonings of life are the moments of joy and laughter, the times you persevere, the giving and receiving of gifts and talents, the surprises that make you reevaluate, all those special times that keep life bright and daring.”

“Take those moments when something affects you deeply, or tickles your fancy, or peaks your curiosity, to give in and allow your Inner Child to explore, NO judgements, no role-playing, no need to impress. No adulting by modern standards.”
