So I broke apart and bleed in public again. In a Starbucks, no less. The few that asked about my tearful eyes and swollen nose were told, “The Santa Anas have started, and they are taking their due.”. They would smile and nod in understanding, pass on their seasonal advice, and promptly forget about me. …

Autumn come, and go
Mmmm, can’t you feel all the witchy madness in the air? lol
Autumn is a special time for many witches, and I don’t think it is because of Halloween or Samhain. I think it’s because the air of change towards the darker speaks to the soul of a witch. The wild is withering to its bare bones in many places, but not here in Western Washington, where the evergreen trees are dense and lush and stretch on and on, up and down the coast. …
Introspection
Sometimes we go through things that seem to be beyond our control. How we act is one thing, how we react is another. I’ve done enough shadow work to know that at times I’m going to have a knee jerk reaction based upon past experiences. But knowing this keeps me from behaving like an […]
Perfect? Nowhere close
What is it that has all of us scurrying around like ants in our lives trying to achieve perfection? Does that attribute really exist? Why when I look in the mirror do I feel the desire, no NEED to make things perfect in my world? Why do we act like insane idiots when things […]

If you are tired, pull over. Better a ticket than killing yourself or others. Do not assume what saved my ass will save yours. …

Lighten up…laugh a little…I swear it won’t break your face
I’ve been stirring the pot..just a little. I have a new page on facebook, “if you can’t handle this how are you going to handle the burning times”. It has cartoons of witches in cartoons, videos as well as Halloween funnies. I did this for several reasons..First, I think they are funny as hell, a […]
What Now…
This is not my first pregnancy loss. Back in 2006 I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. As soon as I found out, I lost the pregnancy. It took me a long time to heal. We still started trying right away after the loss. But this is different this time. I was pregnant for an entire trimester. I went through all the symptoms, being nauseated all day every day, and struggling to stay awake. I even got
