I've always been interested in mead, since the Celts hold it in such high esteem, but my only experience was regrettably Chaucer's (which is known for being average to poor, and I thought it tasted like flat, sweet cardboard). I wanted to start a gallon of Joe's Ancient Orange recipe in January for my birthday since it's March 20, which is Ostara, ( Read more... )

So Artio the bear-goddess has come into my meditation space, and after a couple of days she's started calling me a "bear-wife." It's not just because an ancestor's totem is a grizzly bear.
