I’ve noticed a slight change in my attitude after my job change. Maybe because it’s not as cutthroat as the previous place of employment, or that the reminder if dealing with the public had made me temper my words. I even jokingly call myself “St Shae”! Whatever it is, I like that I no longer […]

Book review – Tvaer Galdraskraedur or Two Icelandic Books of Magic
I haven’t done a book review in a while, so I thought it was time to offer one. I recently read Tvaer Galdraskraedur or Two Icelandic Books of Magic, a book offered by Strandagaldr (Icelandic Musuem of Sorcery and Witchcraft). Since I very much enjoyed it I thought it would be a good choice to review.
Precision and Links
I came across this transcript on Spiral Nature (because Psyche tweeted it). It talks about magical precision, and I thought that was interesting, because I try to be as precise as possible with my magical work. The question came up because someone was having trouble localizing the effects of their spells. They would do a […]
Fun with Novel Writing
Just thought I’d share: I participated in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) for the first time last November and wrote an urban fantasy novel. After a few friends read it and encouraged me to publish it I decided to go ahead and go for it. I’d been editing and revising it but, in attempting to get one of the NaNo prizes – a free hardcover – I appear to have just accidentally published my novel on Lulu. Ummm. Oops? LOL So here it is – my first ever novel http://www.lulu.com/shop/morgan-daimler/murder-between-the-worlds/paperback/product-21381405.html
New Beginning
When I was a child, we didn’t have much of a New Year’s tradition. My parents let me stay up late and there was usually a tray of veggies, crackers, and cheeses. Being from New York, my parents watched the Ball drop on tv and then called it a night. On New Year’s Day we […]
A Green Witch’s Textile Art and Love of Dyes
A few days ago while skimming through my normal routs for anything related to herbs, herb dye and plant textiles (all of which I utilize on a spiritual level for my charm and talisman work as a practitioner of folk arts and agrarian magic) I ran across a wonderful variety of blogs both old and new that have other pagan plant-textile enthusiasts and even one recent article in…
Stepping Aside
A while back I did tarot reading at a psychic fair. It was a three day event put on by a local group for the express purpose of raising money for that group to do “research,” whatever that happens to be. They used to do them twice a year but now only do one. The […]
Seeing Both Sides
As far as I know, there are only two professions that are legally able to represent two parties to a contract without a conflict of interest. These are auctioneers and notaries public. The very nature of what they do is to affirm that two parties have made an agreement and attest to this fact should […]
