I am a solitary, ecletic neopagan witch. The information I share with you here is gathered and distilled from books, articles, other webpages, other Pagans, other witches, meditations, visionary journeys, and listening to my inner voice. I am not a prophetess, priestess, or the direct channeled voice of the Goddess, nor do I wish for anyone to place me on such a pedestal. I'm afraid of heights. But most of all, I think there is too much of that sort of posturing in Paganism these days. This is how I celebrate and live my religion. These are the reasons why. That is what I want to share with you. You may find a grain of wisdom or truth or just the right ritual to suit you here, and put it to use in your own life. You might not. And that doesn't mean that either of us is right, or wrong, but that what is right for me may or may not be right for you, and visa versa. The products of my creativity; poems, art, rituals or spells, I share here freely. I hope you find them enjoyable or useful. I enjoyed creating them. This doesn't mean they are in the public domain. They are copyrighted. Shared in perfect love and perfect trust. So Mote It Be.

Nature, as we know it today, is pretty tame in comparison to our stature on the food chain. We seem to be the dominant species, but what if that was challenged significantly? This story, set several centuries in the future, takes place in a dystopian land with only 5,000 humans left, and it follows a young naturalist named Smudge Billows. He wishes for a more eventful life, so he takes a trip across the Eastern desert in search of the most infamous city still in existence: the Shadow Complex. This story is far from perfect, so let me know if I should make any changes by commenting. Enjoy your read.

Tips & Tricks to Survive the Broom Closet: Those who hide their true magickal identities from friends & family are known as dwellers in "the broom closet". Many who work with magick and witchcraft feel the need to constantly hide their practices, often keeping this way of life a precious secret for many years - even a whole lifetime. While it's always better to be out of the closet, for those who can't find a way out this is the Book of Shadows you need. This is my personal book of shadows, which means it starts with the very basic information for beginners, all the way up to the lesser known, more complex practices that I know about. In it, I provide links to useful articles and websites so you can conduct more in-depth research of your own. Along the way I also provide some helpful information on surviving and thriving in the broom closet. I hope it can be of use to you. Blessed be.
