Faire: Went to faire the day before we left for NC. I was still feeling very ill from the week before, dehydrated and lightheaded and overall just lacking in energy. A benefit of this is that I needed to stop and rest much more than I usually do, so I saw more shows. I took in thatliardiego's 4pm show at the Boar's Head, the Barely Balanced acrobats, Squire on ( Read more... )

Since I am leaving tomorrow for a weekend in Gettysburg, I am just gonna wrap this up today.

27. A spell you’ve done.I've had two occasions to do the magical equivalent of cease and desist. One, years ago, was a freeze-bottle spell filled with hot peppers, etc. Basically, the idea was that if the person even so much thought of harassing me again ( Read more... )

25. A picture of something magical in your kitchen.

Hmm, not a ton that I would consider magical, outside of my Market Spice tea, which is AMAZEBALLS. But the closest you'd come is probably this:

23. Something that I think people who don’t know much about paganism/witchcraft should know.

There are lots of different kinds of Pagans and witches. "Wiccan," "witch," and "Pagan" are not synonymous. There is overlap, to be sure, but they are not interchangeable. "Pagan" is an umbrella term for lots of different kinds of beliefs, most of which ( Read more... )

21. A favourite pagan/witchy movie.

As cliche as it is, Practical Magic.

Movie effects & Hollywood exaggerations ( Read more... )

19. A favorite witchy podcast.

I'm not really a podcast person. I would listen to ones that got good recommendations, though. Recs?

20. A picture of a witchy I-Want-It-Now!You know, there's not a whole lot I want right now. I bought a buncha stuff earlier this Autumn, which I intend to review shortly ( Read more... )

17. One way you bring your spiritual practice into your everyday life.

I feel like I'm being repetitive. I often light candles with particular intentions. Usually my office altar candle, signifying the creative spark and a start to the day's work.

18. How do your close ones feel about your spiritual path? Do they know? Why or why not?Everyone ( Read more... )

15. A scent that invokes a magical atmosphere for you.

Burning dragon's blood resin. The various dragon's blood oils and candles I've tried have all skewed too sweet, but the resin, smoking on charcoal? SO PERFECT. It's like amber, but deeper, and just a touch sweeter. Like synaesthesia velvet. And it helps that dragon's blood is pretty much ( Read more... )
