10 Signs You Should Invest (Your Time) in Magick
I am laughing at the title of today’s blog. I have been wanting to write a post on magick for this month and just haven’t found a good topic. So I hopped on over to HubSpot’s handy dandy Blog Topic Generator, threw in the words “Demon” and “Magick” and it gave me 5 potential blog topic headlines and this was…

The Perils of Cat Hoarding
On suggestion of a friend, I am writing this article in hopes more people become aware of pet hoarding and the dangers it poses to the animals trapped in a hoarding situation. Let me introduce you to Leela. This is a cat that we adopted from a local cage-free shelter on January 5. Leela was rescued from a cat hoarder…

Changing of the Guard
The one thing about having animal companions is that they don’t get to live as long as we do and in our lifetimes, those of us who are cat people or dog people (or insert animal of choice) end up losing several animal companions throughout our lives. Back in 1989 my sister and I bought a kitten. Immediately we knew…

Microsoft Band – A Review
I occasionally like to review new technology and share with folks what someone who isn’t a tech blogger actually thinks about things. I’ve never been much for having a favorite “team”. My tech either works for me or it doesn’t. Also — I don’t get paid to review things. So here’s the thing — I actually USE my tech to help…

Making Saturn My Bitch
Have you ever had one of those horrible, awful, terrible days where you just felt like the entire world was out to get you and nothing went right? One of those days that left you in tears or pissed off at the world? One of those days where you threw up your arms and said, “Fuck this. I give up.”…

Authors & Identity — Public vs. Private Lives in Social Networking
I keep reading on social media that Facebook is cracking down on anyone with more than one account. Today I ran across a blog from 2010 where the author gets down on Mark Zuckerberg who, back then, was quoted as saying: Having two identities for yourself is an example of a lack of integrity. I had to giggle. I wonder what Zuckerberg…

The Moon in Cancer
Things kind of snap into place when the Moon falls into Cancer because the Moon is Cancer’s natural home. For the next few days it’s a good time to deal with things on the home front, and address emotional concerns. Yes, it’s during a Mercury retrograde, but look – Mercury retrograde simply stifles communication and causes electronics to go wonky…

Found Files
Every so often I open my word processor, or a draft in my email program, and jot down the never ending (sometimes random) torrent of words that cascade out of my brain. It clears out the clutter. Every so often I run across these files months, sometimes even years, later only to discover what I’ve written is either fitting or…

Surreal Tales of Social Networking
Social networking is a rather curious thing. It compels people who don’t even know each other to make connections. In the case of writers (especially niche writers), it often attracts folks who are friend-collectors. I think what annoys me most about friend-collectors is they often don’t stop to at least find out who you are before sending that friend request.…

To Keep Silent
This month I’ve been ruminating on this particular power of the Sphinx. To Keep Silent. This isn’t just applicable to magick. I’m learning that it can be applied to ALL aspects of one’s life, and while keeping my magick under wraps is easy for me, shutting the hell up and keeping my damned opinions to myself just isn’t something I’m…
