A Fine Day For A Hanging

Another day, another town. I really didn’t stop to look what the name of this one was. Even if I did learn it, it would be forgotten by the time I was on the main street of the next … Continue reading →

Remembering Annie

Interesting how life brings things back to memory huh?  Today is a special day…in many ways.  It is “ancestor day”..Dia de los muerte , Samhain, Halloween and my late mother’s birthday.  For those who don’t know much about the first two I’ve named, it is a day of remembrance of those who are peeking through […]

Dark Moon Gifts From The Forest

Forest gifts for the witch of the weald

I wove a strand of enchanter’s nightshade through my frizzy hair, blessed my sharp boline and Airmid’s cloak as I waded through thick ivy and thinning trees in the cold sunlight.  The …
