Picture Post: Drum Altar, Equinox 2011
The drum altar is one of my favorite parts of participating in events with my spiritual family. Made up of eclectic, ecstatic, and excited witches, we use this space as a focal point for the community at large weekend events. The core structure of the drum altar uses the Yoruban Ifá spirits, the Orisha, and…
2011 Autumn Herb Exchange
Pardon my lack of writing, but I’ve been recovering from my vacation. I didn’t overexert myself, but I have been so happy and relaxed, that a week has floated by since my last update before I even realized it! Last weekend’s festival was a delight. My love and I joined our friends in the woods of…
A Pixies Pocket Honey Giveaway!
Thank You, dear readers! As many of you may realize, I have been moving my infused honey shop from it’s longtime home at Etsy to it’s very own webpage. I promised that when I reached 100 “Likes,” I would present the first ever giveaway on my little ole blog! So, thank you… You did it,…
Holy Peat Fires, Batman…
There’s currently a severe thunderstorm warning here in North Carolina. The breeze is wet and the clouds are roiling. I love a good storm. I keep sending wishes for rain from here in Asheville up the mountains and into the Dismal Swamp up in Virginia and North Carolina, where peat fires have been raging since the…
A quick and dirty guide to Mosaic art
So…mosaic is an awesome, awesome medium to work with! It has everything to offer a crafter: construction, deconstruction, fumes, sharp things, cement…what more could you want? First, you get to experience great enjoyment from smashing your chosen glass victim (in a safe and cautious manner, of course). Then you get to glue the resulting razor-sharp…
Embroidery I Have Done: Skully Hoodie
Ok. This one was fun! My dear friend Jessica wanted some bling and glitter for her favorite comfy, black hoodie. We are ferocious pirates, of course…so she decided that she wanted to sport Jack Rackham’s crossed sabers and skull flag! Now, Miss Jessica is um…quite fond of rainbows and flashy colors, so I decided to…
Michael, Angel of God
This story was originally written in 2009 based on a true experience I had while working retail in Downtown Portsmouth, Virginia. They come in and see me sometimes, these Angels of God. Something about organic food draws them in, or possibly it is the Crossroads, the first and oldest heart of this town that funnels…
I got a choice.
Mama loved me so much that she told me what was up, straight and clean. I was just a baby girl child, only three years old when she and my Daddy decided that they couldn’t live together anymore, that they fought too much and were just not right for each other. I remember them fighting,…
Circle and Circle and Circles again…
What a month it has been…camping, festivals, dear friends visiting my home and looking to put down roots in these sweet mountains. There’s been patterns woven, and circles coming ’round to completion. It makes me feel grounded, centered, and in tune with the world around me. A part of being in tune with your world…
Dandelion and Violets: A Joyful Herbal Infusion
I am sipping a lovely cup of Spring. When I nipped meself outside yesterday to feed the chickens (and spoil the neighbor’s goats because I’m a sucker for a pitiful bleat), I found my yard sprinkled with golden coins, sparkling in the pooling sunlight. Springtime had arrived! The Dandelions are finally here! Dent-de-leon, Tooth of…
