Wordsmith. Witch. G33k. Shutterbug. Hive Cryptoblogger.
Tonight is the first time my writing group meets without me (thanks to circumstances involving my impending surgery), so I'm singing the writing woes blues. Yes, I'm writing in a way. I'm blogging consistently, but every single day, I think about Maeve and how I'm letting her down by not giving her a decent storyline.... Continue Reading →
I'm taking a break from stalking social media, looking for pictures/video of the event that our eldest is currently attending, to bring you this super short Snoopy Fandom Friday. Today is the 65th anniversary of the Peanuts strip being published for the first time, with the beloved beagle making an appearance two days later. From... Continue Reading →
When I was researching this blog, I was surprised to find almost nothing on the interwebz for Issac Bonewits quotes. You'd think that someone who literally wrote the book on magic (yellow magic, specifically) would have at least one or two Pinterest boards devoted to him. Nope. Nada. Not a quote to be found. So...

I tested the limits of my five year old digital camera tonight, but I got some decent shots of the Super Blood Moon. The whole family ended up outside with me. There were a couple of moments, as we stood in the dark driveway, that a number of coyotes serenaded us, Magical, spooky, beautiful evening!... Continue Reading →
BAD G33k! I completely spaced the ongoing battle, and DubsmashWar Round Two began without me! Okay, so technically I have nothing to do with the Dubsmash, but still - I feel I've let my heroes down by not proclaiming to geek all and sundry that new Marvelousness had been posted. Once again, as I mentioned... Continue Reading →
One of the reasons I started doing Witchy Wednesday posts was to give the rediscovery of my witchiness a focus. Too many times over the years, I'd think, "Gee, I wonder what I should do for Mabon/Litha/etc next week? I should look some stuff up." Then a week later, I'd realize I'd forgotten, and the...

When our three kidlets were little, hubby and I started doing a "Safe Place" ritual at bedtime. A friend gave me a similar meditation to help them feel protected from some weird juju that was manifesting at the time. In the early days of doing it, we'd hold their hands, and once they'd imagined their... Continue Reading →
I'm sure this comes as no big surprise, but Bewitched was one of my favorite shows growing up. In fact, my first attempt at writing a novel (I think I was all of thirteen) featured a girl named Samantha (although I considered using Tabitha - spelled the right way, so as not to annoy Elizabeth...

I've talked a little about Mercury Retrograde in two previous posts this year - first in January (click here for, "You spin me"), then again in May (click here for, "New moon spinning"). Here's what I've put together for this third and final spin of the year. MR begins on September 17th, 2015 at 1:09... Continue Reading →
Earlier this month, The Smart Witch posted a quote from author Tahereh Mafi on her Facebook page, and I knew I'd eventually have to steal it use it for one of my moon photographs. Here it is, paired with a picture, taken on August 22, 2015 at 7:29pm. Speaking of Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me is... Continue Reading →
Moment of silence Photo credit: Ben Sturner ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Moment of silence SEO text. The reason this text isn't visible, is because I wanted this post to be a simple, clean, picture to represent how I'm feeling on this anniversary of September 11th. However, in order to get a decent SEO score for my post, I need... Continue Reading →
I had a rather difficult time writing today's post about the upcoming Dark Moon in Virgo (and not just because my brain is melting, thanks to another 1,000 degree day). In this past year, as I've rediscovered my witchy side, I've been reading, researching, and reacquainting myself with basic ritual protocol, but since I'm more... Continue Reading →
