Today my own copy of The Twelve Wild Swans arrived in the mail; previously I was working out of a public library copy and it’s really the sort of book I need to be able to make notes in, highlight, and keep for all time. I’m part of a group wherein we’ve been working through …
Samonis, the November Feast It’s the end of the year tonight, and tomorrow Winter begins and the Hag rules. Tonight the ancestors come and feast with the living. The veil between the worlds is thin, and you must be careful not to get lost in a place you can’t return from. This is my favourite …

A spell jar for protection and banishment Recently I was feeling really uneasy in my house, so I got a set of little mason jars for spell-making purposes and whipped up this ditty for protecting my house.
