Blessings Darlings!
Today in being frugal, I figured I’d make a sprinkling can out of a used one-gallon milk jug. Should be easy, right? Just drill a bunch of small holes in the screw-on top to the jug.
A Bit More Translation

Blessings Darlings!

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…

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.
