Letting go of Bishop in the Grove
Bishop in the Grove is just shy of three years old. The coming Solstice is its anniversary. I’ve written here about my doubts, my interests, my questions and my fears. I’ve engaged with Pagans, polytheists, Druids, Christians, atheists, Buddhists, Humanists, and many a wayward Witch. I’ve written my way into and out-of Paganism, and I’ve […]

Will you walk with me?
In yesterday’s post on The Wild Hunt I talked about Awen and about my creative process. It wasn’t standard fare for that site, and not the most widely read and shared post that I’ve written, but it was a very natural thing for me to write about. A song is little more than a conversation […]

I Was Not Ashamed at Pagan Pride
A year ago I wrote about feeling ashamed at Pagan Pride. The circle was to blame, I stated. On Saturday, to my surprise, I found myself standing in a circle at another Pagan Pride, but this time I was helping to facilitate ritual. I was “West,” to be specific. I stood in a circle, one […]

A Reaction to Living
I am on the cusp of a new beginning. New beginnings are terrifying. And liberating. And challenging. And not without a degree of nostalgia and loss. Things have to end in order for other things to begin. Circle of life, and all that stuff. My house is almost completely packed up. Our bed is on […]

Bishop In The Grove on Temporary Hiatus
Bishop In The Grove needs to go on a temporary hiatus. These are the words that popped into my head yesterday. As soon as I heard them, I knew they were true. Blame it on the New Moon. I’ve had the feeling for a little while that something needed to give. I’m a decent juggler (3 […]

The Stuff of Posts, The Stuff of Songs.

The medium, with its requirements of regularity and consistency, force me to see stories in my life and lay those stories down in text. When […]

Top of the Week at BITG
Top of the week to you! This week is starting off with a whole bunch of Internet happenings. First, it seems that my RSS Email subscribers haven’t been receiving my blog posts since mid-December. Sorry everyone. Here’s what you missed: I wrote a post on Yule at HuffPost, and we talked about decentralization. After pulling […]

The Road Ahead: Being Matt Morris Again
As many of you know, I have two names. There is the name you know me by, Teo Bishop; a name which I chose for myself several years back, and one that I took as my legal name last year. There is also the name which I’ve performed under for most of my life, Matt […]

A New Year’s Blessing from Teo
On this, the last day of 2012, New Year’s Eve, I offer you these words: May you look back on the year, and feel a sense pride. May you remember the strength of your character, the resilience of your spirit, and the inherent worth of your being. May you know that you are a part […]

You Say Tomato, I Say Druid.
Ever since I took the name, Teo Bishop, and made it my own — both in a religious sense and through the proper legal channels — I’ve had cause to explain what it is that I do on this blog. My writing, as well as my deepening engagement with my own spiritual work, are both […]
