Samhain

“It’s the time of year when we pause to acknowledge the importance of death in the cycle of life. Honor the critical role death plays in your own...”

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...

Lughnasadh 2022

“First Harvest Feast - YUM!!!!”

Lughnasadh occurs every August 1st.  It is the first of three harvest feasts.  This one has fresh veggies and grain as its mainstays.  The tradition is to shape bread into a representation of the Green Man (Lugh). About the God Lugh Lugh is a Celtic god who was once worshipped across Western...

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...

Litha - An Update

“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...

Summer Begins UPDATED

“Litha Approaches - Next Tuesday”

Another Feast Day is upon me.  Midsummer or the Summer Solstice is the most powerful day of the year for the Sun God.  It is a Fire feast so bonfires will be lit.  My hubby's favorite part (after the feast food of course) is the bonfire.    Summer flowers  all through my house and  summer...

Oh the HORROR!!!

“Love me some jump scares”

I have had my fill today of total shit storms brought on by narrow minded bigots (the ones that make horror a reality). SO I decided to write something fun. Most people that know me here know that I love the paranormal, cryptids and generally anything scary.  I love horror films (not gory,...

Bigfoot, Yowie, Yeti???!!!!

“Belief In Something More”

This week I am talking the bipedal cryptids called Bigfoot, Yowie, Yeti, Skunk Ape, and so many more.   https://allthatsinteresting.com/yowie https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/sasquatch These are 2 articles on 2 of the "creatures".   There have been Sasquatch sighting...

Satan

“Saw This & Had to Laugh”

Found this to be hilarious for some reason.   So a discussion on who or what you think Satan is. For me there is no designated entity as Satan.  I know there is evil in the world, but I believe that evil is strictly committed by mankind.  Humans do not need an evil entity to lead them...
