A Voice in the Dark

“An Original Piece of Fiction by Veronica”

The woman sighed as she settled on the bed.  The house was locked up, her patient was tucked in and snoring away in the downstairs bedroom.  The windows were open - it was a hot July night and the house had no air conditioning.  She pulled out her historical romance and began to read.  The...

A voice in the desert

““What if it is true?” Might dark, mysterious things like spirits and demons exist? There are a lot of people who swear they’ve seen ghosts. Could...”

Two young men in their 20s, Josh and Dan, went on a camping trip together in a desert in New Mexico. They didn’t take much with them besides sleeping bags, food, and materials for a fire. After they cooked their dinner, they fell asleep as they gazed up into the starry night sky. The beauty and...

Here's to Tolerance

“I hear this shit a lot!!!”

I hear this when people find out I am Wiccan.  I get tired of it.  The truth is most Wiccans are more tolerant, kind and giving then some Christians I know.

My favorite feast day approaches. Samhain (pronounced Sow-wen) is the third harvest of the year.  It means summer's end in Gaelic.  It is the end of the Celtic year - it is the last feast on the Wheel of the Year.    On this day, the great God of the Sun dies, and leaves his widow, the...

Living In Darkness

“It has been rough”

I have been away from here for a while.  When I did check in it was so disturbing I stayed only briefly.  I have found myself questioning on what is truly important as I watch women's rights get flushed and maniacs running for office.  And worst thing - people I thought were "normal" supporting...

Fictional Scary Instead of Reality Scary

“Pain is the biggest power of love. That's what Wireman says. - Stephen King - Duma Key”

Let's talk fictional horror to try and get away from the real horror that is sweeping our country and the world.  If only for a little while.   Has anyone read this novel?  I have multiple times.  It is my July King read every year.  The paperback is a little ragged, but is still together....

Dark Thoughts - A RANT

“All Consuming....”

I am worried.  Normally I can shrug things off more easily than I am able to at this moment.  Everything appears to be crashing around me & I have gotten caught up in the wave. My husband, daughter and I are joining in on a family trip (my sister, one of her daughters and her family, my...

“Sunshine”

Litha was beautiful.  A gorgeous day.  We even got into the pool.  I have a few pictures of my baked goods.  I never got a chance to get the main course.  They attacked with a vengeance. and de kabobbed my kabobs before I could snap any pics. My pineapple upside down cake turned out PERFECT for...
