I got stung by jellyfish yesterday. Living in a coastal city, I’ve been to the beach my fair share of times. My mother is not much of a swimmer, but she loves the sound of the waves and being near the ocean relaxes her, so whenever she could, she took us. Now, the beach weContinue reading “Is It A Sign?”

What It Means To Be A Witch
It used to be a crime. In some regions, it still is. To even be accused was enough to have you arrested, tortured, held for long periods of time while being made to endure horrendous conditions, and then executed in whatever popular method happened to dominate. Some were burned. Some were hanged. In Salem duringContinue reading “What It Means To Be A Witch”

“I don’t know why I feel so drained these days.” It’s past midnight as I sit down to write this.

Out of the Broom Closet
My Spiritual Path (so far…) “It’s just a phase!“ If I had a dime for every time somebody said this to me, I would be able to pay off my student loans plus some really embarrassing credit card mistakes.
