I know I'm not the only Pagan who constantly writes in a journal. Most of the time my entries focus on Pagan topics, though I prefer to write about how my religion affects my life. But once in a while I get in a real pensive mood, and can't think of anything to write about. With the help of others on an e-mail list I'm on, here's a short list of Pagan-related topics that you can use for those times when the writing bug has struck, but you are at a loss for a subject (feel free to to add to this list). If you don't presently keep a journal, and are interested in making an on-line journal, try Diaryland.com for an easy-to-use and FREE on-line diary.
