In the latter half of 2019 I started getting more into astrology, the moon phases, and a bunch of related stuff. So I subscribed to Ivy at Circle Thrice‘s newsletter, and downloaded their Agile Magic Manifesto. I bought the Moonology 2020 diary, with the intent of using it to make this year awesome. As a …

Monstrous Ancestry: Channeling the Better Parts of Our Forebears; Transforming the Worst
This post originally appeared on Patreon on Saturday, February 9th, 2019. This morning I channeled my bio-sire in my kitchen. Clothed in woolen socks, boxers, and a sweatshirt, I cooked pancakes on the stove and burned them black. (Well, ok, dark brown. I lack a proper griddle.) This was the way he always did them …
Housekeeping Note
(This wasn’t posted first at Patreon because it’s not really a true post, just a note on housekeeping at the blog.) So I was doing both Steady and Patreon because, hey, options, right? But to be honest…it’s too much for me. It’s too much for me to keep track of two different sites for crowdfunding …
Little Things
On Wednesday I woke up with intense pain in my neck and a massive, pounding headache. My plans for working on kitchen clean up and thus my year long project went out the window. So I took the drugs I could take, and waited for things to fade. Eventually I had enough energy to do …
Church, and other notes
It’s been a while since I posted. I kept meaning to write another post for October, but then it kept not happening. So here are some brief updates on various things. Church. I am going to church now. Specifically the Anglican church about 5 minutes from my home. Why? Well, I’d heard nice things about …
30 Days of Paganism: Any “secular” pastimes with religious significance, and why

“There is no blue without yellow and without orange.”
What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything? Lately I have been struggling a lot with depression and suicidal ideation. I go through periods of this; right now it’s brought on by severe stress from work, wedding, and lack of money. I was reduced to tears at work on Saturday and …

Today I am doing nothing of import
Well, except getting my driver’s licence renewed. There’s that. But no, today is my birthday, and I’m going to let myself relax. I was pretty depressed about my birthday this year. I think just because I’ve been depressed in general. I’m pretty much in the middle of a long-ass depressive episode, and no idea when …
Creating my own challenge meme
I appreciate the chance the 30 Days of… memes give me to write posts on things I may not have thought of, and I like having a challenge to write 30 times on a certain topic. You’ve probably noticed my reinvigorated blogging has been mostly 30 Days of Paganism posts. However, those 30 Days of… …
Everyday Magic and Old School Witchcraft
So you may have noticed a change on this site. Not only to the theme (again, I know), but to the title and tagline. Let me talk a little about that. First, the change has been coming for a while. I just didn’t know how it was going to happen. I’ve been dissatisfied with the …
