27) Famous witch that you favor? I don’t know what qualifies a famous witch. I have authors that I like. But I don’t know if that’s the same. Although maybe it is, because in this community we tend to turn our authors into celebrities. Because we don’t have much elsewhere to look for them. This […]

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 […]

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
Reconstructing Celtic Seership
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(…)
