This year, I'm working on the... Continue Reading →
I absotively posilutely heart Halloween! I mean, what's not to love? I remember being told very early on by a variety of people that I was a "spooky child." All Hallows Eve for me was like a confirmation I wasn't alone in my spookiness. Besides, growing up in Magnolia, MA, a stone's throw away from... Continue Reading →
It's almost here! Samhain, the most magical and witchy day of the Wheel of the Year arrives on October 31st. Yes, the same day as Halloween (which I'll talk about for this Friday's Fandom post), but for witches and many pagans, this is the end of the old year, and the beginning of the new....

As the one year anniversary of posting three blogs a week (plus once a day for NaBloPoMo) approaches, I decided to peek at my WordPress stats. Now I can say I agree with all the bloggers who say consistency is key. 2013 Posts published - 7 Visitors - 37 Views - 200 2014 (prior to... Continue Reading →
As of October 17th, 2015, it's official. The DubsmashWar winner is.... *drum roll* TEAM CARTER! https://twitter.com/DubSmashWar/status/655240573608062977 The official results, and all the videos are up on Crowdrise, host of DubSmashWar. However, I think it's okay for me to say that Team Carter raised $79,808 for STOMP OUT BULLYING! and Team Shield raised $75,257 for St.... Continue Reading →

I'm going to let another New England native do the talking for me about the beauties of Autumn. "Besides the Autumn poets sing A few prosaic days A little this side of the snow And that side of the Haze — A few incisive Mornings — A few Ascetic Eves — Gone — Mr. Bryant’s... Continue Reading →
For many years, I would tell people (when asked, of course) that I was Wiccan. I hesitated to use the word Witch, because of all the baggage attached to it. I think I was hoping that by starting with an unfamiliar word (to most people, back in the 90s), it could be a blank slate,... Continue Reading →
Last Monday, I whined..., err, wrote about my frustration with my plot difficulties. In a beautiful show of synchronicity, my FB newsfeed this week has been full of things related to my story (the Akashic Records, Technomancy, and the veil thinning, to name a few). While I enjoyed my little pity party (because it's not... Continue Reading →
