London Broil Marinade
I found this marinade in the comments section of the Chowhound Post: “Tips on marinating/tenderizing London Broil“. It worked really well the first time I tried it, but I completely forgot to save my notes AND the page link. So I’m placing it here where I can’t possibly forget it. Because yummies should be shared. … Continue reading →
Celtic Healing Deities
(this is the hand out from my class on Celtic healing deities from Changing Times, Changing Worlds 2011. The beginning of the class we talked about how, IMO, instead of the common modern “cafateria” approach it is better to nurture a relationship with one or two specific deities associated with healing if a person is interested in being a healer or in having a healing-specific deity to call on. We talked about ways to do this including a client-type relationship, devotional work, offerings, setting …
It’s a holiday..get over it
This is the time of the year when people’s minds and hearts turn to celebrating holidays of their particular paths. For the Jews, its Hannukah, Kwanzaa for African-Americans, Christmas for the Christians, and Yule for those of a pagan persuasion.

Cleaning ritual or working tools is different for every single witch. There really aren’t too many standards to cleaning your items. I have my own method of …
Hecate’s Night: The New Aroma of Life, and Death
A few nights ago was Hecates Night, a special day for all of us who see her as teacher, mother, mentor and leader. I left yew seeds, enchanter’s nightshade, yew branches with bunches of berries, cloves of garlic, juniper boughs and frenzy wine (steeped with amanita and nightshade) in a sacred triangle at the crossroads of my local forest, where the yew tree grows. That night I dreamed of snakes and deer, of a wolf torn asunder and three silken black pelts adorning my altar.<br …
You’re not listening
I pop in and out of various groups sometimes, depending upon what I see going on . Some pagan groups, some with rootwork , hoodoo, voudoo..depending on interest. So I was sitting yesterday, and saw the notifications pop up where someone was in someone’s group asking for assistance in using a site to buy some […]
Preperations
Tomorrow I head out to the changing times changing worlds conference up at Amherst in Massachusetts, which runs from Friday through Sunday. This is the conference’s second year and I am excited to see how it has grown since last year. The main theme of this year is healing/wholing/holistic and the workshops cover a variety of topics under that theme. My own contribution is four workshops: healing magic and chronic illness, the …
THE GIFT
Today I received a gift. I knew it was coming, the giver had told to be expecting it. And yet when I picked it up in the mail, I was like a child at christmas. Silly I guess that a small remembrance from someone would make me smile, and want to tear into it eagerly […]
Silly Girl, I Wasn’t Thru
Deep laughter echoing through worlds and dreams. I know that sound so well. I thought I would never hear it again. My heart both rose and fell. “I’ve sent you an invite, informal and vulgar. Through muck and field, for you. Don’t know why you’ve tossed away my number, Silly girl, I wasn’t thru. “I … Continue reading →
