Inside Out
Ten years ago I was in therapy. My therapist assigned the movie Inside Out to watch, as part of some work I was doing about emotions, particularly sadness. This is what I wrote at the time. I was completely unprepared for what happened.
2026 Tarot Reading
Each year I do a tarot reading to accompany my annual review and goal setting and ask what the coming year will bring. (Last year’s was a doozy. This one indicates, at the least, that much of what will happen is under my direct control.) Here it is, presented without comment. (Rider Waite deck)
My Traveling Magick Kit
(Third of a series of three. The first two are here and here.) While I’m not out and about every month, I’m on the road nearly three months out of every year (and expect to increase that in coming years). To meet the need for being able to boost my magick while I am out […]
Social Media Schedulers
When both my personal “business” (author) accounts got banned from Facebook at the end of November 2025*, I was upset. Mostly because the immigrant community where I live is centered around a group and many things get planned on the messaging app. Losing contact with that group was difficult.

PSA: New Scam Targeting Authors
There is a new scam aimed at authors, and perhaps other content creators, going around.How it works is that creators get an email telling us how wonderful our book is and they offer a way to reach new readers.
My Travel Altar
(First of a series of three.) Witches love their altars, and we especially love the many beautiful things we use to make our altars the unique structures they are. Taking them with us is rarely practical . . . so what can we do instead? My solution was to create a portable altar.
What I am Grateful For
For many of us, this is a month where we take time to contemplate what we are grateful for. In these times, that can feel cruelly hard. Yet, remembering there is more than hardship in our lives has value. I am grateful, first and foremost, for my husband. He has been in my life for […]
