My friend @elisabew has been reflecting on how we sometimes tie our sense of self-worth to what we produce. Do the things we make matter if people don’t love them? Or if it feels like not enough people look at them, read them, consume them? If the shine wears off down the road, and we move on to the next thing? Does any of it matter? Look at all of these new releases and upcoming titles! See anything that appeals to you? I hope you all had a nice Halloween! And if you’re sad that it’s over…just remember that if you’re an adult you can celebrate Halloween whenever you want. Wear costumes, put on fun makeup, decorate your home, eat candy, watch horror movies, and enjoy pumpkin-flavored things all year. Nobody can stop you. It doesn’t *have* to be over. 😌 I received the Trick or Treat Tarot a few months ago from my friends @llewellynbooks and hadn’t used them until this month! I love Halloween themed tarot decks, and this one perfectly captures so much of what I love about the holiday. Whenever I share recommendations for more advanced titles, folks ask for total beginner books! So here are a few! There are so many available, and no one of them is perfect, or right for everyone. So pick one that appeals to you, work through it attentively, and accept that you’re likely to encounter other perspectives and change your mind as you read more and grow. These are just some of my favorites from the last couple of years. I’m spending this afternoon making salves with an herbal oil I’ve been infusing for the last several weeks! I’m into growing things, but not so much into making, using, and ingesting the various things that people make with herbs. I have the palate of a six year-old and don’t like herbal flavors generally, and usually have a yuck reaction to things like oxymels, syrups, teas, etc. But salves I can do! Salves are easy to use, and a lot of fun to make. Just infuse an oil (I usually use jojoba, but have had good luck with avocado too) with whatever dried herbs you choose, strain, melt some beeswax into it, and pour into a jar. I went to LA to meet this lovely human! And talk to him about Wicca and witchcraft! 💙 Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and I just wanted to let you all know where I’ve been. I spent the summer prepping to begin work on my PhD, and now it’s finally started. Truthfully, this isn’t something I thought I’d get to do, given the state of the university system as a whole, my inability to move for the sake of school, and the pull and pressures from just being alive and having normal obligations surrounding family and work. The pandemic created sone unique circumstances that made it possible to consider, though (no GRE! remote classes to finish my second MA! the freedom to work remotely! No travel requirements for interviews! Etc etc etc), and a whole lot of luck and hauling ass made it happen. What if I bring a guitar to Mystic South? Is anyone game to jam? I know @nathanfhtagn is! @keldenmercury can I talk you into bringing your uke? Anyone else?
