I’m very pleased to announce that the first pressing of my Therian Memoir Godbeast is back from the printers and looks and reads great. I shall be processing all Ko-Fi backer’s copies first before anyone else. Home stretch now! This will be on sale at “Shimi and Friends” on the 27th. Thank you.

My final artwork for this advent cycle. Week 4: The Holy Family: “A little one among us: God is with us”

Why yes I am known as “that bitch with the candles”

Can’t be prouder of this lineup. And I am grateful to all at Dreampool and impact for trusting me with my own show. Everyone on this bill is an honour to be playing alongside. LYKAEON, expanded and revised returns Dec 27th to Seattle in a beautiful new chapel venue.

I’m really looking forward to sharing the story I’ve written for this show. It’s a very personal story about my transformation from mouse to raccoon and, as therian, some of the challenges of such a transformation. If you’re going to be in Seattle on the 27th, it would be great to see you there.

My back hurts from leaning over the table while painting. Ugh. Have a WIP im excited about at least #furryart #furry

Spontaneous group howl in the Goodwill — thank you Seattle. I needed that.

I love being a creature

My third artwork for St Paul’s Episcopal Church. Advent week three. This is for the tired, the hurting, the traumatised and the lonely. The write up in the bulletin especially went down well. I refer to an Englsh Folk Band: Fairport Convention and their song “we sing hallelujah”.

@impactraves.org tickets are going fast so if you’re undecided, now is the time to nab one. This is my last performance of Lykaeon for ‘25. I cannot be prouder of the lineup & looking forward to a truly special night of deeply Therian poetry, sound art & storytelling impactraves.org/events/dream...

Taizé was lovely. Communal singing, candles, long contemplative silences. Kindness. Warmth. Care. I know I know, but look, I am an old fool of a wolf at the table and I love this.

[Taps page] This is the wellspring of faith. I refuse to believe love given in vain is ever truly lost. I reject the idea that love only has value if received correctly, reciprocated, or rewarded. Loving those unable to meet my care is not a failure of love; it just hasn’t found a safe receiver yet.

Sol Invictus. I miss the swallows.

My USB MIDI bass pedals project for live work uses custom Teensy 4.1 code and a 1960s organ pedal. Whereas that circuit board looks workable, switching is made up of two springs making contact to open a circuit. De-Oxit cannot uncorrode them enough to reliably work so replacing with microswitches.

Reconciliation - WIP

I attended the O Antiphons at St Marks. I honestly would have preferred contemplative Eucharist, and the peace it brings critter especially but that was cancelled for something I found grander, bigger louder whereas I seek something simpler, smaller, quieter, gentler.

“Let me in:” Erotic Therian poetry in 4 Acts

Hey critters, I'm doing another live ambient performance this upcoming December 27th in a chapel. Going to be performing another of my improvised wolf songs for you all on synths and guitar 🐺

So I am artist in residence at my church and for last Sunday’s Reign of Christ I drew the service bulletin art. Agnus Dei — with all the triumphalism removed and Ruach — the breath of god — in place of the banner of victory. Plus Critter gets a cute little cameo! She loves Eucharist— wag wag wag.

I wrote a small transformation comic in my zine that deals with otherkin / therian trauma. It was pretty healing all in all tbh, I also spent some time coming up with some art to match. Needless to say very cathartic and lovely <3 To read the story: hellhound.industries#literature

There was a harp at contemplative Eucharist last night. It was so lovely and gentlest soothing my Godbeast’s crouch.

Three forms from one

And unexpectedly 5/4 appeared — I forgot I had drawn this pose. Have a badge!

It’s a little bit early, but I’m heading off to my first Thanksgiving potluck, a pupsgiving — and there will be many their whom I am thankful to call my friends.

Found some time on the bus to finish my little Critter’s badge set: 4 of 4.

Grey wolf

As an older woman I love the older women in my life. There’s a tenderness in knowing and experience, we’ve taken a few life knocks. Yes we can teach those less experienced than us, but sometimes we don’t want to teach. There’s a quiet understanding between us women. Even if it’s just perimenopause!

Up at 6am for morning Eucharist and a family breakfast followed. I find peace here.

H... h… hello mommy

We have a live show 12/27 in Seattle! With @impactraves.org & Dream pool. An evening of #Therian & creaturely performers, poetry, ambient & sound. I‘ll be reprising a slightly expanded & refined “Lykaeon”. I hope you’ll join us & be a part of this. Bring your howls. impactraves.org/events/dream...

Cerberus at the glory hole would be look like this

Yesterday evening & night I went to an achingly beautiful & emptying out contemplative eucharist in the chapel & compline. I took time to marvel at the Gospel Book of St. Mark’s — & an icon lit by candlelight.

One of my partners @seerendipity.bsky.social presented me with this incredible homecoming gift ! Thank you sweetheart it’s a treasure! You’re a treasure.I love you.

Culinaria peregrina — The act of cooking a meal from whatever you discover in a strange or unfamiliar kitchen. Quick bowl of rice and dried wakame, seafood furikake, avocado and soy sauce. Cracked an egg into the hot rice and it was lovely. Sesame seed to garnish.

Hexæl, the Sixfold Witness, angel of Sef, seer of Rua, Kora and Sura (“she who rises, she who watches”)

Attended Taize service: songs for creation.Included prayers for Animals. Chanting. Beautiful readings ending on “Laudate, Gentes Omnes” becoming lullaby-like in its soft tenderness. I cried a little. I ache to walk to the creator of all things as their Beloved Creature. I ache to become animal.

Just a heads-up: a few copies remain from the original 100-copy hardback run of GODBEAST — my memoir of growing up #Therian in 1970s UK before even having a name for any of it. A story of wildness, faith & becoming the creature I was destined to be. ko-fi.com/s/ecba5ebb8d

Blessed be the Watcher of Thresholds, whose sight gathers the lost and the living alike. May her eyes find us, and watch us find our way home.
