Oh, how I’ve missed you. I didn’t realize how much until you came back in to my life this week, after years of not having any contact. Something in my heart told me I needed you, but I didn’t listen. Then I finally mustered up the motivation, and went searching for you. I couldn't believe... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart the Patriots
I wicked love the Patriots. Love, love, LOVE the Patriots. And not just because it's required by law for us New Englandahs, either. Given that there is currently a reGRONKulous amount of Pat Hate going on, I figured it was a great time to declare my affections. The upside to the gnashing of teeth is... Continue Reading →
WW – You spin me
Thanks to all the witchy Facebook pages I follow, I know the first Mercury Retrograde of 2015 is here. I also know that Wednesdays are ruled by Mercury, so today's MR is even more significant, but since I'm still in "blowing the cobwebs off my witch's broom" mode, I don't have any personal words of...

MM – Ethical chocolate
I know everyone has strong feelings about things we should do to make our planet better. Reusable shopping bags instead of plastic, eating vegan, banishing GMOs, volunteering, protesting animal abuse, donating blood, donating time, donating money - after a while, the list becomes overwhelming (at least to me), and I end up not doing anything...

FF – Wild about Harry
There have been many Harrys in my life. The real Harry Houdini and his Hollywood counterpart, Dirty Harry, Harry Anderson (aka Harry the Hat and Harry T. Stone), and more recently, Harry Potter. But the Harry I love far above the rest (please don’t tell the others) is the literary character Harry Dresden, professional wizard.... Continue Reading →
WW – Crow-incidents
Living here in New England, crows are as commonplace as Dunkins. However, in the past few months, they've been popping up so much that they caught my full attention. This morning, I finally grabbed my handy copy of Animal-Speak and looked them up. I always knew they were pretty magical, but what I read especially... Continue Reading →
MM – Aviary funny joke
Hey bird. Wanna hear a joke? It’s so cold out… It’s so cold... even the birds are turning blue! You didn’t think that was funny? Hey Bird (Blue Jay). What? Wanna hear a joke? Sure. It's so cold out... How cold is it? It's so cold... even the birds are turning blue! *groan* You didn't... Continue Reading →
FF – Visionary Vlad
As I mentioned in my Christmas Eve blog, this Fandom Friday is focusing on my favorite digital artist, Vladislav Gerasimov. I don't remember exactly when I first stumbled upon his website, Vladstudio, but I know exactly how long I've had my lifetime membership (thank you, Google email search). On Sunday, March 16th, 2008, I spent... Continue Reading →
WW – Simple candle spell
When I first studied witchcraft (in the early 90s), I spent more time worrying that any kind of ritual or spell I attempted wasn’t done properly, and less time actually doing rituals and spells. Over the years, I relaxed into a more laid-back approach, but substituted my “properly done” worry with the “does this make... Continue Reading →
Musing Monday – New year, new look
I credit my father for my ability to code. Granted, I’m no wizard at it, but I have enough knowledge to get by, thanks to being introduced to MBasic back in the day by Dad, who figured out how create programs and databases and encouraged me to do the same. No big surprise that when... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart love
As we learned in the colorful episode of The Powerpuff Girls, Mime for a Change... Love Makes the World Go 'Round. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdBDbGEdyEM In that spirit, when I saw the following messages pop up in my Facebook newsfeed, written by my cyber-friend Natali, I knew it was time to break out the crayons and channel my...

WW – Happy Secular New Year
I ordinarily don't make the distinction of "secular" when wishing all a Happy New Year, but given that this is a WW (Witchy Wednesday) post, and the Wiccan New Year is Samhain (Halloween), I figured it made sense to say, Happy Secular New Year. Since hubby and I have been together, one thing we've done... Continue Reading →
