and the First Harvest Summer is currently in complete control. I’ve always thought of July as the Weed, Water, and Wait month. I’ve been weeding, watering, and waiting, and the Harvest is coming to fruition. We are fast approaching the celebration of the First Harvest, Lughnasa. In truth, harvesting has already begun. As I write this I have herbal tinctures […]
People often assume that I am a liberal Democrat. I am not. Nor am I a conservative Republican. What I am is a Constitutionalist. Whenever I say that I get a lot of responses of, “So am I.” I always ask, “Have you ever read the whole thing?” Most Americans have NOT. I have. I have read it, analyzed it, written papers about

She is sleeping here after an EIGHT day sojourn, eight very long days for her human. During the first seven days I looked for her and looked for her. I have a neurological condition that makes
All my life I’ve been called a Warrior, and I am a Warrior. It’s got its upside and its downside. In these days of chaos I have heard and read so much about spread the Love, spread the Light. It is okay to give in to your sadness and basically do nothing. That simply isn’t possible for me. I don’t
You are approaching the Circle before it is cast, attending a Witch’s rites, maybe an Esbat, maybe a Sabbat, maybe some other formal working, but it is dark, and it is a little intimidating. There are robed figures standing around, stoking a fire, lighting incense, looking over notes, whatever needs to be done just before a
