Disclaimer: I have written academically/professionally for years. Everything I’ve published has been edited to death. The idea of a blog, raw and unedited, is a new thing for me but this seems the appropriate time to try it out.
Here’s an old superstition, the number 13 is bad luck. What a pile of horse hockey! I don’t know, or much care, how others feel about the number 13, but it’s my power number. I was born on February 13th, and it goes from there. I look forward to Fridays that are on the 13th […]
Over the years I have gone out of my way to keep politics off my website. I have been mostly successful. The recent assassination of Charlie Kirk and the people who started dancing on his grave didn’t change my attitude about the website. Instead it made me think of a vow I took oh so
I read am book. I advise reading to everyone. This particular book put me into deep thought about where I stand on vaccinations, and big pharma in general. As a Wiccan/Witch I am an herbalist.

I’ve even paid to have a full astrological chart done. Hell, I’ve charged people to draft charts for them. Once it’s all
Lughnasa is almost here. The Sun is getting smaller. Time to kill a god, make sacrifices, reap the first harvest. I’m so tired of hearing about black magick, vs. white magick, vs. gray magick. Witches are people and have all the same things going on inside of them as other people. If the best is
I want a kitten, maybe 2. I am very specific about those kittens, too. I don’t care about breed or such. I just want a gray female kitten under 8 weeks old. A tuxedo kitten will be great, as long as it is gray. You’d think this little kitten, or kittens, would be easy to
It’s official, I am a muggle. Why did I accept that challenge from my nephew? Truthfully, I don’t think he meant it to be a challenge, but I took it as one. It all started back at the beginning of 2025. My nephew, who is a ceremonial mage, and I were talking and the subject
