Wordsmith. Witch. G33k. Shutterbug. Hive Cryptoblogger.
Hard to believe, but ten years ago today, I started blogging for a local newspaper. After two years, I struck out on my own. Granted, there have been long stretches of zero posts, but for close to a year now, I've managed three posts a week, with a few extras (like throwbacks for Thanksgiving and... Continue Reading →
It's here! DubsmashWar Round One has begun! Well, kind of - Team Carter has their submission up, but Team Shield is radio silent... hmmm... hope this doesn't mean Loki is misbehaving again... Because this war is also raising money for charity, they've asked that people not embed videos for the duration. So, please click on... Continue Reading →
It's rather apropos that my Musing/Microblog Monday post was about Raymond Buckland (who is considered the first person in the US to openly admit being Pagan), and today's is all about being loud, proud, and Pagan. I first heard about Pagan Pride Day being held in September a number of years ago (in fact, I... Continue Reading →
Yes, I know today isn't Witchy Wednesday, but since it's the birthday of the first person in the US to openly admit being Wiccan, I decided a shout out was in order. I bought my copy of Uncle Bucky's Big Blue Book soon after hubby bought Cunningham's book in '91, and it's been part of... Continue Reading →
No, I don't mean killjoys in the spoilsport, sourpuss, stick-in-the-mud kind of way (though I've answered to those appellations once or twice). I mean KIlljoys, the latest space opera offering from the folks at SyFy (aka Skiffy). The first season just came to a close on August 21st, and I'm hoping against hope that we... Continue Reading →
Saturday, August 29th will be the first of three Super Full Moons in 2015, which means this Pisces Super Full Moon (wow, say that three times fast!) will have a bit of extra emotional kick. So, what exactly is a Super Moon? I went to the EarthSky website, and found this tidbit of info -... Continue Reading →
Now that I've consistently posted entries three times a week for close to a year (and daily last November), I've turned my focus to finding my audience. My peeps. My fan base. Lately, when I'm pondering possible platitudes to entice people here, this song by Genesis pops into my head - "I will follow you... Continue Reading →
*SQUEEEEEEEEEE* It's here! The big announcement we've been waiting for since DubsmashWar erupted out of the 2015 SDCC last month. If you missed my blog post last month, no worries - I'll wait here while you pop over and catch up. You're back already? Wow, you're a fast reader. Okay, so now that you're up... Continue Reading →
Tomorrow (August 20th) is the birthday of Ann Moura, the author of many Green Witchcraft books. I have to be honest - I hadn't heard of her before browsing the Pagan/Wiccan Calendar over at About.com, looking for Witchy Wednesday ideas. After poking around the interwebz a bit, I decided to download sample chapters from two... Continue Reading →
Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day! This day was essentially created in an effort to combat the bad PR black cats have endured (they have the lowest adoption rate and the highest rate of euthanasia at shelters). I found the best description of the holiday on the site, I Can Has Cheeseburger? - Black cats have... Continue Reading →
The Rocky Horror Picture Show movie turns 40 today (why am I not surprised it has a Leo birthday... *grin*)! If you've somehow missed the visual and musical feast that is RHPS, here are a couple of relevant bits from Wikipedia - The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a 1975 British-American musical comedy horror film... Continue Reading →
This Friday, August 14th at 10:53am EST brings us the Dark Leo Moon (otherwise known as the New Moon in Leo). Here's a graphic I created for the occasion - feel free to share it. Also, if you're able, try to take advantage of the opportunity to see the Perseid meteor shower during that moonless... Continue Reading →
