I'm getting pretty excited about the upcoming release of Struggling With the Current, the first book of the Telverin Trilogy! So, I decided to make this fun little quiz so that you can learn more about the world of Telverin and find your place in it. Give it a go! TELVERINIZE ME!

Before I write anything else, I'd like to apologize for how long it's been since I updated my blog. I've been pretty ill lately and I'm just now recovering from it. I've had a lot of catching up to do in all areas of my life. That being said, I will need to start blogging … Continue reading Curse of the Wendigo

As I write this, it is the First of October (or the First of Halloween...yes, I'm one of those people). There's a full moon tonight, the first of two we will have this month. I'm thinking of spooky things and witchy things. On full moons, I like to go out and place a jar of … Continue reading Lykaon, Father of Werewolves

I have a confession to make. I don't love all fairytales alike. I know. Shocker. There's one that's my favorite, Snow White and Rose Red (sometimes known as The Ungrateful Dwarf). It's a very simple story, but it has a lot going for it. Probably my biggest affection for it comes from my personal connection … Continue reading Snow White and Rose Red: Things Aren’t Always How They Appear

Oya by Francisco Santos Before I get into the meat of this week's blog post, I want to apologize for not sharing a fun fairytale, folktale, or myth last week. I'm working hard on getting things ready for the release of "The Telverin Trilogy Book 1: Struggling With the Current" and needed a week to … Continue reading Oya – An Ancient Goddess for Modern Feminists

As a young child who was an "old soul" (read: my social circle was mostly made up of my Mom's friends and I spent more time reading than playing with other kids), I did a great deal of research into obscure myths, folktales, and fairytales. As you can probably tell, I'm still doing that. When … Continue reading Princess Rosette and The Perils of Monarchial Government

I don't usually do this, but anyone reading this blog deserves to know my all-time favorite book. I've owned this same book since I was a teenager, and it is very loved on. There are dog ears (don't wince) and clobbered corners from years jostling around backpacks, among lesser books. Even though it's a hardback, … Continue reading Rusalka and The Duality of Feminity

I decided to rehash an old subject that I went over at length on Twitter as a #FairyTaleTuesday prompt. I asked my followers recently what their favorite fairytales were, and a few responded with Sleeping Beauty. Mostly, they're thinking of the Disney version. One writer who responded, Katherine Macdonald, is even writing a more feminist … Continue reading Sleeping Beauty is Creepy

Let me preface all of this by saying I am the laziest pagan in the world. My altar hasn't been gussied up for a sabbat since Yule. I am notoriously bad at forgetting where we are in the moon cycle. My friends remind me when something big is coming up, and that is precisely what … Continue reading Lughnasadh
