I am Silverlotus, author of this site and a Wiccan who has been practising for over thirteen years. (Read more about me
here.) I belong to the
UEW tradition of Wicca. I am an eclectic solitary, meaning that I practise my religion alone, and bring in aspects of other faiths to the basic Wiccan framework.
This site contains essays about my thoughts on different aspects of
Wicca. This includes essays to help the beginner, like
Buying Books and
Tools for Learning. You will also find essays aimed at more experienced practitioners, such as a look at
Deity Concepts,
Circles, and
book reviews, to name a few. In the
Tarot section, you'll find information about
what Tarot is, some
beginner exercises, and
basic card information.
I’ve finally moved over the last page from the old site. Everything that was available on the old, purple site is now here. I will soon start setting up permanent redirects from the old site just to make sure that nothing disappears for anyone.
I’m so happy to finally have everything moved! Now I can concentrate on writing new material. Thank goodness!
More and more of the site is finally getting moved over. The Tarot Reviews section is now here, along with a new review: The Daughters of the Moon Tarot.
I hope to add review of the following decks sometime within the next month:
- Lover’s Path Tarot
- Touchstone Tarot
- The Process audio book
- Maat Tarot
- Liber T Tarot
- Llewellyn Tarot
Approximately half of the Tarot section has been moved over. My goal is to have everything here, and the old site properly redirected, by the end of March. What can I say, when you have a toddler, things take a lot longer then they normally would.
As always, comments are happily accepted.
Esther, the email address you provided bounced. Please contact me again, and double check the address you provide. Thank you!
While I may not be moving along quite as quickly as I would like, I have finally started the Tarot section. Actually, I started it a while ago but forgot to post about it. With luck, and a time machine, it should be finished up by February.
Problems with the navigation menu have also been fixed. Apparently the newest code for the ShareThis plugin broke the menu. So, ShareThis has now be removed until it there is a fix.
After months of work, the Wicca section of The Lotus Pond is almost back up. I just have a few more articles from the Rant section to post, and everything will be done. Then it is on to the Tarot section.
Once the Wicca section is complete, I will have the old pages forward to the new pages.
I’ve also changed the site’s look. The theme still needs a bit of tweaking, but I am happy with the over all appearance. Let me know what you think using my contact form.
It is taking a bit longer then I antcipated to rebuild The Lotus Pond in Word Press. I’ve been busy with the baby, work, stitching, etc. But The Pond will be back in fight form soon.
The Cross Stitch section is complete, and the Wicca section is about 1/3 of the way finished. Once I have transfer everything over, the old pages will redirect to the new pages. I will also be looking into a new theme that is a bit more intuitive, and a little less white.
In the meantime, please check out my regular blog, Reflections in the Pond, and my new crafting blog, Stitching Lotus.
Construction on the new Lotus Pond is coming along well. The pages that are now available on the new site can be found in the Contents section in the left-hand sidebar. As in the previous post, everything is still available through the old links too.
As I’m moving the articles over to the new site, I am also revamping them. I’ve fixed some spelling mistakes, clarified a few things, and deleted a couple of things too. Overall, my message hasn’t really changed. I’m just trying to make everything more concise and true to what I believe.
Also note that the contact form is functioning again. Send me a note with an suggestions or comments. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Okay, seriously, this is it this time. Really… assuming everything works out okay.
The Lotus Pond will be switching over to Word Press as time allows. All old pages are still available through direct links. Here’s where you can access articles for the time being:
I will be doing my best to get The Lotus Pond looking good and working well as quickly as possible. In the meantime, I appreciate your patience.
Comments? You can reach me here. Note that this is a temporary email address, and a feedback form will be set up shortly.
