26) Favorite website on Witchcraft? Aside from my own? I’m not really sure. I follow a lot of pagan and magic blogs, a lot of which I don’t read as often as I should because I’ve gotten into a period of actually doing the thing instead of reading and writing about it. Check my blogroll […]
Witch Questions 25
25) Favorite book on Witchcraft? You mean aside from Harry Potter? I didn’t do well with Buckland’s Big Blue. I was kind of fond of Ann Moura’s Green Witchcraft series, mostly because it discussed witchcraft outside of a Wiccan context, and I hadn’t seen that before. Of course, the books had some issues, but it […]
Witch Questions 24
24) What’s your familiar? I don’t have a familiar. I’m working on creating one, but have been delayed by other projects. But Chirotus! You say. A familiar is a pet! You can’t create one! Perhaps you best double-check on what a familiar is. A familiar is a servant spirit. It runs errands and helps you […]
Witch Questions 23
23) Favorite animal? I answered this on Tumblr a little while ago. The question doesn’t specify: as a companion, or as food? As a companion, I like cats. They suit my nature. They are independent and opinionated, but still affectionate. And they always seem to know when you need to be comforted. They don’t look […]

22) Favorite color? Green. And red. And also black. But mostly green. A deep emerald green. Unless its red. A deep ruby red, or a nice rich maroon. It really depends on my mood, I suppose. But I look stunning in hard jewel tones. Stunning. Filed under: Questions

Other people, including Erynn Rowan Laurie have been working on reconstructing Celtic seership practices for far longer than I have, and I highly recommend(…)
Witch Questions 21
21) Favorite gem? Precious or semi-precious? I really like ruby. I honestly prefer garnet, though. I have a piece of fire agate that I absolutely adore, but I can’t wear it all the time. Combined with its gold wrapping, it can get to be too much for me if I have it on too long. […]
Witch Question 20
20) Favorite flower? I’m fond of roses, tulips, honeysuckle, and lavender. You’ll notice these are things that I can turn into wine. I also like daisies and lilies. But my favorite will always be dandelions. Why? Because when you’re a kid its always the most important flower ever. And because they’re tasty. And because they’re […]
Patrons and Priestesshood
Recently I was reading John Beckett’s essay “Hearing the Call” and I think he raises several good points about the way that modern pagans approach(…)
Witch Question 19
19) Favorite tree? I’m not really sure about that. I used to have an apple tree in my back yard. I would climb it all the time, and just hang out in it. In the fall I would pick apples from it. The walnut tree killed it. We also have maple trees, and I like […]
