This is my Favourite Time of Year

This is my favourite time of year. I celebrate Halloween and Beltaine at this time of year. Halloween is my favourite calendar holiday of all time. The spirit of fun and whimsy surrounding it just calls to me. If you read my post last Halloween you’ll remember that I differentiate Halloween from Samhain. Halloween to

Fairy Tales: The Red Shoes

Wow! Over the last few days life really decided that my plans were unimportant. I had hoped to post this on Sunday as per my usual schedule but like I said, the universe had other plans. One of the things I’ve been discussing on my blog is fairy tales and the impact they’ve had on

What I’m Currently Working On

Ok, so over the last week I really haven’t worked on much of anything. One of my loveliest friends from the city came down for a visit so naturally I was focusing on showing her around and having a bit of a vacation myself. I feel pretty good about the fact that we had a

Samhain Sorcery Cover Reveal

It should come as no shock to you that I’ve been working really hard on the sequel to The Kingston Chronicles; Samhain Sorcery. My goal was to launch it this Halloween (for the Northern Hemisphere Samhain/Halloween) but realistically there is no way I can have the manuscript finished in, and published, in time. I’m working

Poem – Twisted

Poem – Elements of Love

I wrote this poem for a course during my Bachelor’s degree. It reminds me of summer love. I’ve always been inspired by Greek mythology and when I wrote it, in my imagination, this was Apollo, walking by the sea on a Greek island. Elements of Love By B.

Celebrating Imbolc

So, Imbolc was yesterday down here in the southern hemisphere. This Imbolc I was moved to spend some time working on perennial decorations. I don’t have Sabbat decorations as such, not in the way that people store Christmas decorations. In the past I have observed the Sabbats but never made a big deal out of

Imbolc!

Happy Imbolc! How are you spending the day? I’m crafting these gorgeous little Goddess dollies I saw on Pinterest. They look like a simple decoration to make. Lucky it’s a Saturday and I can spend a decent amount of time crafting and musing on my Craft. I’m a little under the weather at the moment

Creating a Fantasy Map

I never thought I’d end up with a job where I’d have to create a map of a fantasy world, and while my fantasy world is no where near as complicated or in depth as say Middle Earth, I had no idea how hard it is to make a Fantasy map! I am now super

Blessed Yule!

Merry Yule Southern Hemisphere Witches! I hope you’re enjoying your day.  I’m enjoying connecting with family that I haven’t seen for a while. Today I’m exploring the End of Financial Year Sales with one of my dearest friends. I wish you all a happy day with many blessings. Whether you are celebrating Yule or Litha
