Welcome
Welcome
to the personal web site of Starweaver, Wiccan
priest, tarot and astrology practitioner, and
dabbler in the visual arts. This site is an
expression of my own personality: sometimes
focused, sometimes fanciful, always fluid. I hope
you find this a place of beauty, wisdom, and
warmth.
This
marks the one-year anniversary of Starweaver's
Gems from Earth and Sky. I decided to celebrate
by giving the site a facelift. I hope you like the
new colors and layout. Besides the new look, I'm
allowing myself a little more flexibility about
when the regular features appear and how the
artwork is integrated into the site.
Enjoy
the cool autumn air this season, as the year winds
down toward rest.
Blessings,
Tom

Tutorial
 Help! I'm
Clueless about Paganism
Modern
Paganism is a loosely connected set of spiritual
practices, belief systems, and ways of living that
take their inspiration from religions and folkways
of ancient and modern peoples who live in closer
connection with the natural world and its cycles.
This short tutorial is intended to provide some
orientation for those curious about modern
Paganism, as well as newcomers to the world of
Pagan practice.
