    A brief ramble on connection

    This full moon is kicking my tail, y'all. I cry in this one so if you (like me) find emotions gross and intolerable sometimes... feel free to skip. I just had a lot of thoughts and feelings and wanted to get them out into the ether. Also if you've tried to reach out to me on Instagram recently, I'm currently locked out of that account for dumb reasons relating to an old email address and I may or may not get it straightened out. It's a fun time.

    Wicca For Beginners book review

    The universe gave me a gift - a free audiobook recording of a TRULY terrible beginner Wicca/witchcraft book. And I just couldn't resist the urge to roast it. Along the way, I do manage to throw in some hopefully helpful tidbits of information to dispel common witchcraft misconceptions. But mostly this is just me laughing my way through how bad this book is. (Really, really bad. It's so bad.)
