Welcome to Saturn’s Day. A Saturn’s Day where I have some Saturnian magic to do. It’s all about business and finances, because IMO my husband has the business skills of a gnat, and needs a lot of Divine Intervention. Divine Intervention starting with Saturn.
So I’m here, in the mid day hour of Saturn, prepping for the … Continue reading…
I recently shared a comic by Zach Weinersmith which featured a ‘traditional Celtic folklore fairy’ who, at one point, mentioned stealing a human soul for the fairies’ tithe to Hell. I shared it because the comic is funny but unsurprisingly – because social media is what it is – received some pushback from people over the idea of the tithe to Hell which they felt was problematically Christian in…
Since we’re into October I thought it would be fun to do a list of my top 10 favourite horror movies – feel free to add your own in the comments. Outside of a few close friends most people probably don’t know that I’m a big fan of the horror genre. I’ve watched horror since I was about 12, saw Halloween for the first time, and fell in love with the entire concept. Probably less surprisingly my…
As some people are aware for the last four years I have been researching the Pleiades from a spiritual perspective and working to create a system of rituals connected to it. As we approach the four year anniversary of the experience in Iceland which led me onto this path I wanted to recap how things have gone so far. image of Pleiades by NASA, public domainI’ve talked about the approach I was…
I’ve written here before about representation and racism in fairy media and later expanded that into a full length article which was published in Witches & Pagans magazine under the title ‘The (White) Elephant in the Room: Race & Identity in Fairy Lore’. In both of these pieces I emphasized the diverse descriptions of fairies, elves, and other Otherworldly beings that we find across folklore and…
The 1985 movie Legend is often classified as a dark fantasy but it contains many themes from older folklore. So today lets look at some of the folklore we find in the film and how it is incorporated into the story. 1551 woodcutting of a unicorn https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:A_unicorn._Woodcut_after_C._Gessner._Wellcome_V0021193.jpgSpoilers ahead:For those unfamiliar the movie tells the…
In my last piece I established that marriage was a common feature of stories involving fairies but today I’d like to look at some patterns we can note within that wider concept particularly of the Good Folk marrying humans. I think this can help us further explore the idea of marriage with the Othercrowd and may be useful both for those with an esoteric bent as well as those writing fiction who…
Recently the subject of fairies and marriage was brought up in a discussion, with someone suggesting that fairies would have no such concept as ‘marriage’ and that there were no accounts of marriage either of fairies or between fairies and humans. Since I’m not sure how pervasive that idea is I thought the best approach would be to address it here and discuss the layers of folklore involved -…
Although there’s no solid historical basis for using ogham as a divination tool its certainly popular to do so today and there is more than enough material to make it a viable system. Much like tarot, actually, there is so much that it takes a while to learn to really read ogham well. I highly recommend checking out the original source material, the Auraicept na n-Eces as well as modern books on…

I got a couple of new bras. From Torrid, my first order from them – they were recommended by one of my co-workers. See, finding comfortable bras is difficult when you have Bodacious Tatas, and I got ’em. Band size is 36. Cup size is G in a 38, should be H in a 36, but I’ve yet to find an H in a 36. Ever. And it’s very hard to find G’s in a 36. Continue reading…
