I thought it would be fun to do a witch quote challenge for the next four Witchy Wednesdays. The long and short of it - leave a comment below with a witch related... Continue Reading →

Happy Beltane 2017! This Monday (May 1st) the magical bookend to Samhain arrives.

I originally wrote this two years and one day ago, and thought it would be a good time for revisiting Celebrating Cunningham. *~*~*~*~* Sometime in the early 90s, hubby found a book called, “Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" by Scott Cunningham. We were just beginning to explore the idea of Wicca, in those... Continue Reading →

Merry meet and bright blessings to all those who stumble across my humble little spot on the interwebz!

Revisiting the Enchanting Coffee Spell from Llewellyn
Rabbit, rabbit! *grin* I originally wrote this post back in July, and thought it would be a good time to revisit it on this dank, dreary, first day of March.
