I first wrote these as a series of posts on facebook, as I sat moved with my spiritual community through the 72-hour liturgy the earliest followers of Jesus called the Triduum: what is now called Holy/Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. Though built on research done over the...
Priestess of Ordinary Things
A Blog about Bodies, Earth, Ritual and Resilience for Changing Times
I know, I know—Agape Sluts. Yikes. It’s provocative, alarming, maybe even offensive. It made even me cringe when it first popped into my awareness. No fucking way, I thought. It’s different, perhaps, from the more general, earthy and over-all uncontroversial feel-good work...

My dear friends—
I have written multiple versions of this blog over the last 6 months. The world is so full right now. I’ve felt reluctant to add more to it. I keep asking myself: what is appropriate right now? What is necessary? What is being called for? Where can I be patient?...
Dear friends,
For those of you in my community who are Black, Indigenous, or a person of color, you know what you need. I cannot imagine the kind of grief, terror and exhaustion you have lived with for generations. I cannot imagine what these last few weeks have felt like as the wound of...
It is Holy Week in the Christian tradition—the ancient celebration of the Triduum, a memorial of mystery, and the intersections and tensions of embodied life. Largely pagan in my spiritual practice, I surprise myself with finding so much beauty in this season (though not that surprising,...
On the night of the last full moon, I dreamed I walked into my childhood bedroom and found a wounded owl on the ground. They had dark brown or black feathers, and stared at me with enormous intelligent eyes. They quickly scooted to hide out of the way under my bunkbed. I woke up feeling...
Dear Friends~
Part of my deepening into sacred days and seasons is looking with a kind and critical eye at the traditions and “sacred” things of my family, ancestry and culture. Many of you have witnessed how I've wrestled over the last few years with a growing dis-ease with the...
This past month I had body work done. I didn’t think about this ahead of time, but when my friend Catalyst (check her out here) asked me where I needed work done, I listed a number of things and then was surprised to hear myself say: “and maybe…my psoas,” rubbing my...
Several years back, I lived in the 6th Ave neighborhood, and we planted a tiny rhubarb in our back yard. It was barely two leaves and some stringy roots. It flourished happily until later that summer, when it was completely trampled to nubbins by my roommate’s dog. We said, “Oh...
