Think Globally – Do Magic Locally
Blessings Darlings!
The other day I commented on a post on Facebook, recommending igneous rocks for a working. Thinking further about that, tho’, I realized that was a holdover from growing up in the Midwest, and not what I’d do myself, now that I live in the Appalachians.
The Morrigan and Plans for 2015
I’m sure many of you would rather see more translation here, and don’t worry I’ll get some more done soon. I’m working on a new manuscript at the moment which is taking up some time, but hopefully next week I’ll get to some of the other fun untranslated bits of the Cath Maige Tuired…
Verifying Practical UPG

The Crows Spoke Again.
Blessings Darlings!
I don’t know if crows act as messengers from the Goddess who has me collared, but there are these times when … well, they can certainly be omens. So far, always omens about crap going down at work. It happened again yesterday.
Translating – The Morrigan’s Prophecy part 2

New Year’s Resolutions
I’ve never been a believer in New Year’s resolutions, but there was a time that I halfheartedly made them only to see them go up in smoke (sometimes literally) just a few hours later. I have, on various occasions, resolved to lose weight, quit smoking, quit drinking, reduce my online time, etc. etc. I have never kept a single one.
