My sister called me tonight to tell me that she loved me. Dad texted to ask if I’d heard and my Godfather (with whom I have always gotten on very well, as long as we’re in the same physical space) sent me a sad facebook message (which he never bothers with). As I have said … Read More
I had a long weekend, supposedly. It currently doesn’t feel like it. I ended up not working on Friday, which was LOVELY, but then I was so damned tired I didn’t get anything done that I wanted to. The Jellicle was away seeing Imp in The Straight Place so it was just me and Weasel … Read More
I’m not going to criticise Enthusiastic for the prompt but the question rather suggests that somehow everywhere in the world has come on in leaps and bounds regarding the position of women. Oh potentially triggering – mention of murder and mutilation of women. Well, not so much, Mexico has so many unsolved murders of women … Read More
Ok, another Pagan Blog Project inspired post (I usually get as far as B, have occaisionally managed to go further, lets see what happens this year). Previous posts have been about Broomsticks and Blessed Be. Blood is one of those things that crops up when you’re talking religion or magic, the idea of blood is … Read More
A series of firsts, inspired by The Eyes – this being my first drink. You’ve all had it by the way – or anyone who’s accepted my homemade ‘Peppermint Liqueur‘ has anyway. Growing up my experience of Christmas was a boozy one from about the age of four or five. Now boozey when you’re four … Read More
If you don’t believe me then chances are I’m telling the truth. I’m a great story teller, I have a lot of them and I exagerate and emphasise and all the rest of it and people enjoy my stories but I have noticed that when I just tell people things as they happen or have … Read More
My favourite words don’t have especially fantastic deep and meaningful reasons behind them. I just like the way they feel in my mouth. Versipellis – It means werewolf in latin. Well, actually it means skin-changer I think but it was easily the most exciting word that the beloved Cambridge Latin Course ever taught me. It’s … Read More
Only three days late on this one – B on Friday! (I hope). Other A’s that I have written about are: Altars, Aphrodite, Apples and Ancestors. Last November a friend challenged me to go vegan for a month. I mostly made it, apart from a slip two days before the end when I ended up … Read More
Thanks to the Imp I have found the successor to the Pagan Blog Project, The Pagan Experience. Today’s prompt is about personal practice. Personal Practice– Share your favorite spiritual/magickal practices. What tools are incorporated into your daily practice? What feeds you and replenishes you? My daily practice at it’s best incorporates morning and evening yoga – … Read More
The Eyes suggested I blog a memory for each year of my life – mainly as a writing prompt, so this is what I’m doing. I’ve done, one and two already but three is a little trickier. As I’ve described I find my very early memories to be like small islands floating in a sea … Read More
