Middle Ground Spaces
If you’ve been following along for any length of time, you might have figured out that I really enjoy learning new things. You might also have figured out that if there’s a workshop or webinar in the herbal, witchy, astrological, or zero waste spaces, I’m likely to be there (so long as there’s a free…

Compost
This isn’t exactly related to witchery but it isn’t exactly unrelated either. I believe I’ve mentioned before that my grandfather was a funeral director. A mortician. A guide for the living to deal with death. The word death doula wasn’t a thing when he was in business but it would have very much applied to…

Days and days
I’ve spent the last few days doing pretty much nothing, curled up on the couch with dogs and a rapidly emptying tissue box and so many cups of tea – thyme tea, ginger tea, mullein tea, chocolate mint tea. I’ve been trying really hard to work with things that I know to help get rid…

Weathering Weather
There is a great deal of weather happening today in a huge swath of the US but I’m in a spot that seems to be missing most of the worst of it – we’ve got a fair bit of wind and I’m sure there is ice out there, but I have nowhere to be today…

It’s that time of year
I love this time of year, even when it makes me a little sad. I was at the grocery store today in the self-checkout (say what you will – I love not having people touch everything or pack it wrong). I was just focused on making sure I didn’t overfill my bags as one of…

Busy Days and Chronic Illness
I thought I had a nice deep buffer of reviews. And then things got ridiculously busy. I had a big festival thing that I was making special stuff for. We’re having a bit of an opportunity arise that is causing some other time management issues on my part. And then there’s my RA. And what…

Role Models and Miss Eglentine Price
Usually on Tuesdays I post reviews. I was a little late today due to too many things afoot and then I heard that Angela Lansbury died and I saved the draft of what I was working on and changed direction. As a child, I lived in books and sometimes movies. Bedknobs and Broomsticks was an…

Learning is a Life Long Process
I love to learn. Love it. Research is one of my happiest places. Whether I’m researching for a book I’m working on, for a spell I’m working on, for a meal I’m working on, doesn’t matter. If you pay attention, if you watch for them, there’s nearly always a free version for virtual conferences (yes,…

Greening Clean
The movement to green up the cleaning industry is excellent and awesome and really out of reach for a lot of people. When your budget is tight and stretched to near breaking, you can’t afford to care what kind of containers things come in or what the parent companies of the brands are doing to…

Must Be Done
This time of year is, for me, full of too many things. I’m pretty used to having too many things going on regularly but near the equinoxes, both spring and fall, it feels like such a big shift in energy that everything needs something of a reset. I dislike cleaning. I do like having cleaned,…
