Welcome to the Paleo Witch!

Hi all!

My name is Heather, the Paleo Witch. I am starting this blog out of a sudden desire to fill a perhaps small, but growing niche: Pagans who eat a Paleo/grain free/dairy-free/gluten free diet. Personally, I have been eating Paleo since earlier this year ever since I got a slew of test results telling me how sensitive I was to many foods in the Standard American Diet.I have since lost over 30 pounds and feel a whole lot better than I have in years.

This blog will explore a few ideas. First, I want to create recipes that we can use in ritual space during Dark and Full Moons and especially the Sabbats. I also want to delve into how to work these grain-free foods into quite frankly, a largely agricultural/harvest-based spirituality. And finally, I'd like to talk about food ethics,particularly eating mindfully and spiritually, entwining what could be thought of as the spiritual and the mundane. 

Ideas and feedback are graciously welcome. I am an eclectic Pagan witch, so I want to be inclusive of all traditions. If someone wants something very specific to a particular tradition, then I am happy to work my way through it on here.

I am very excited, and I hope you are, too. Perhaps a cookbook could come out of this blog someday.

Blessed Be!
