I know, I know. This year has pretty much sucked for everyone. I’m going to do my part to try to cheer folks up. In that vein: Every autographed book purchased from me (see links above for either herb books or fiction books) comes with free...
Wow. Did you know? It’s been ten years to the day since I published my first book. I’m a little in shock. I’m celebrating and you benefit. I’m giving away one copy of the book that started it all. Haven’t heard of...
September was a sucky month for me. Even suckier than the previous five months during this horrible pandemic. Allow me to enumerate why: I threw my back out the tail end of August. While I can normally twist myself this way and that to get...
Mother Nature has not been kind this month. At least, not to me. It has rained, just enough to make everything wet, either overnight or in the morning, almost every day for the last several weeks. Since I refuse to work outside in the afternoon...
Seasons turned into years. Crone started to feel the passing of those years more acutely. She was slowing down, she knew. It took her longer to get going in the morning, and the garden chores became almost too painful to think of. What had taken...

This is so much easier than trying to fit everything into 240 characters for Twitter! If you follow me on social media anywhere, you know I’ve been having vision problems. It started seven weeks ago…I started having flashes –...
You’ve done (and perhaps even planned) the office parties. You’ve done the family thing at Yule/Christmas/Hanukkah/Diwali, whatever. You’ve done the friends thing at the New Year. Now it’s time to do something just...
To select the proper herbs to use in a ritual of any kind, there are several questions you must ask yourself (and/or those you’re working with). I’ll start by saying intent is everything in magic and words, actions, or even thoughts can change...
I was really looking forward to this book. Anything related to herbs and folklore always makes me sit up and pay attention. For the most part, I liked it. The good stuff: She does a really good job of incorporating folklore and divination from a...
Are you like I was: have a difficult time falling asleep at night because you’re thinking about all the shit you didn’t get done today and/or need to do tomorrow/next week/next month? There’s a fix for that. You’ve...
