Blessing Darlings!
As I mentioned in the last blog post – while our income is finally up and stabilized, we still need to be frugal/cheap. One way we’re doing this is to … Continue reading…
It’s a New Year!
Blessings Darlings!
Yup, a new year. New chances. Mostly the same old bills.
Here there has been a change – after months of complications, the Chubby Hubby is now getting Social Security benefits. He’s in his 70’s – so since starting it after turning 70 he’s getting a monthly deposit that looks … Continue reading…

2018 in Review
Its hard to believe we’re already wrapping up 2018. Inspired by Benebell Wen’s ‘My 2018 Year in Review’ post linked on social media I thought I’d do my own version here.
So, my 2018.
I travelled a lot this year!
In April I went to Ireland, visiting Ardagh, Sligo, and the Beara Peninsula. Part of that was for a Land Sea Sky Travel tour and it was a great experience.
June I was back for another…

Witchcraft, Acceptability Politics, and Defiance
I’ve often said that I think witchcraft, specifically American neopagan witchcraft, is a victim of its own public relations. This is something we can see more and more clearly as different divides appear within the wider community, often over core issues of inclusion or exclusion. Why do these things happen in witchcraft which is at its core something that should be amorphous enough to hold a…

Kionan’s First Solstice – A Between the World’s Short Story
In canon short story from my Between the Worlds series. Taking place after the events in book #7 Desire and Ashes this is a a solstice story in the spirit of the stories in the Fairy Gifts anthology.

The Selkie Resistance Agenda
Today’s post is meant just for fun (mostly) and is based off something a few of my friends came up with a while ago, the Selkie Resistance, which is in part about loving the ocean and hating modern society’s aesthetic standards.
I’m trying to keep this humorous, hence the format, and what follows is entirely my own opinion. I do not speak for the entire Selkie Resistance ;) And yes I realize this…

Excess Baggage
The reason i mentioned perception in my prior note, was to provide a little background for this one. I make no judgments here, nor is this intended to be criticism, merely my observations, and my perception of what I have … Continue reading →

Perception
Each of us perceive things differently, depending on our world view and our expectations. Perception isn’t merely what we see, hear, touch, taste, smell. Perception is much more, it is how we experience sights, sounds, and sensations. Our perception is … Continue reading →

Evolution of My Spirituality
I was asked on social media to talk a bit about my personal practice, so I thought a short blog about it would be a good approach. I’ve been pagan now for nearly 30 years and in that time my approach to everything has changed drastically more than once so its interesting to answer this question now, knowing what I say will be different than what I would have said 10 or 20 years ago and what I…

Celebrating a New Holiday
When I was in Iceland I had an intense personal experience, shared with several friends, which later had me reassessing the way that I approach celebrating holidays and the entire cycle of holy days in the year. This has led me to trying an experimental year where I am celebrating times that are especially in sync with the Pleiades because I believe these times are more important to the…
