The Thanksgiving cactus is READY for some feasting 🤣

On the second of Sunwait, we honor Uruz. Strength: strong, healthy bodies. Vitality and steadiness. Strength of heart as well: resiliency, courage, determination and dedication. We welcome Uruz with the returning sun. May you be strong in our lives in the next solar year. Hail, Uruz! #HeathenSky

Faerie Con lewks, final day. Another outfit that's easy to move in for load out and the drive home. Amazing underbust vest from Oh Jessa, blouse and pants are goodwill finds, boots by Verillas. Some silly stuff from yesterday too.

Faerie Con lewks, day two evening. Time for a Crow Show! Kindred Crow plays at 8 PM after the Dustbowl Fairies and before Frenchy and the Punk.

Faerie Con lewks day 2, daytime (we'll Crow it up more for our set). Blouse from Goodwill, studded leggings from Torrid, skirt thingy from a vendor at FSG, Verillas boots. Ash is wearing a lot of Holy Clothing items along with their Verillas stuff.

Faerie Con lewks: day one. Super simple since I needed to be able to drive and unload in this. I adore this asymmetrical blouse and of course will take even the slightest excuse to wear my Verillas boots. More feathers tomorrow - Kindred Crow plays at 8 PM. #FaerieSky #PaganSky

I joined the Marine Corps for several reasons, not least of which was my family's financial situation at the time. If you don't have money, and already have a wild streak, college is a risky gamble. So I chose service. In my platoon at boot camp, there was a southern white girl...(1)

The part about being goth that I had not anticipated was the part where I would be middle aged with crappy vision and *still* hand repairing my beautiful but hard to replace gothic finery 🤣

On the first of Sunwait, we honor Fehu. Abundance, prosperity, and the rewards of hard work. Enough to share, to shelter others, to add more seats at the table. We welcome Fehu with the sun's return. May you be abundant in our lives in the next solar year. Hail, Fehu! #sunwait #HeathenSky

Good morning, lovelies. Today, enjoy the victory. Savor it. We needed a win and a sweep is a good one. Take the joy of this moment and lay it in as winter fuel. Stack it high in your heart. Tomorrow, revisit/revise/renew your mental/emotional/psychic protections. What I know (1/2)

All I'm saying is that if this is the view from my kitchen window, I shouldn't have to cook 😍

New blog this morning! This is one of my columns for The Frederick News-Post's Words of Faith column. As always, gratitude to the FNP for including a Pagan in the clergy roster. This column is all about Winter Work - what it is, how we determine it, and when it happens. Link ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #PaganSky

As my Uncle sometimes says, every good hobby eventually becomes a mental disorder. Bottling day today. 15 gallons of mead bottled, 5 racked to secondary. Vinterglädje, Imbolc Skies, Mixed Berry and Autumn Elk. Straight show meads or melomels. I flavor mine with what I grow myself.

For those local to Frederick, Maryland, the Frederick CUUPS Ancestors Ritual is this evening. Arrivals are between 7 and 7:30 PM. Tonight's ritual is a new liturgy that includes optional audiences with different Underworld deities as well as Ancestral connection. I hope you'll join us. #PaganSky

From tonight's Silent Supper. Blessings of the Ancestors to you, friends. You are the result of the love of thousands 💚 #samhain #PaganSky #WitchSky

New blog! This one is yesterday's sermon for the UUCH. Sacred places, holy ground, relationship, connection, and how "re-enchantment" actually works. tinyurl.com/y4w889cz #WitchSky #PaganSky #UUSky #HeathenSky

Autumn arrives at the Magick House, and the green begins its shift towards gold. Come, take a walk with me. It's a good timeline cleanse.

That feeling when your band has a super catchy new song (that is also about death because it's us so of course it is) and your brain will not. stop. playing. the refrain.

LAST CALL for Intermediate Witchcraft with Blackfeather Mystery School. This flock takes flight 10/2 at 7 PM Eastern.

Guess who figured out that they can get from my desk to the divination table today? She's about to be disappointed. I have back to back clients starting at 2 🤣 #CatSky #PaganSky

When one of the afterlife destinations in your faith path becomes a political football. Words from Benjamin Kowalsky-Grahek, Ryan Smith, Jennifer Snook, and I. Thanks to Heather Greene for her hard work supporting Pagan representation in the news. #HeathenSky #PaganSky #Valhalla shorturl.at/QyPvp

New blog this morning! This one is all about leading a 12-day Pagan pilgrimage in Iceland. glassewitchcottage.com/2025/09/15/a... #HeathenSky #PaganSky #WitchSky

"Following orders" does not mean taking complete leave of your thinking skills.

Continuing to put up summer. Today was pickled hot peppers. These are my favorite topping for burgers and tacos. I hope you have a good weekend. Out of spite, if necessary.

Two things can be true at once. We can hate gun violence, and not wish it on anyone. And, we can be without sympathy or empathy for someone who used their pulpit and influence to stoke division, glory in the suffering of others, attack our values, and fan the flames of intolerance. (1/3)

First day back at work and I'm negotiating with a little furry menace for the return of my laptop. #CatSky

Back from Iceland and glad to be mucking about in the kitchen again. Broccoli cheese (vegan) strudel for lunch. Because wrapping food in phyllo immediately improves said food by a good 50%. I don't make the rules.

New blog this morning! This is one of my columns for the Frederick News-Post as part of their Words of Faith section. As always, I'm grateful to the FNP for including Pagan clergy in their roster. tinyurl.com/4xz6e4t8 #PaganSky #HeathenSky

GP Day 16: This is the first year the grapevines really went for it (this is primarily just ONE grapevine's fruit) and we harvested slightly over 11 pounds of grapes. I am so grateful and looking forward to turning these into grape preserves 😍 #GratitudeProject2025

Huzzah! Pre-Orders are open for "Foundations of Witchcraft: A Blackfeather Mystery School Manual"! Slated for release through Crossed Crow Books for August of 2026. A fully comprehensive 1st year training in witchcraft & spiritwork. Order here: www.crossedcrowbooks.com/shop-crossed... #WitchSky

These beautiful cool mornings have been such a glorious break from the heat. I love this part of the harvest season.

GP Day 10: Yesterday I was grateful for a full day at home. I keep a pretty full plate, so long days where I can putter at an easy pace, cook good food, and relax a bit are rare. #GratitudeProject2025

Happened to go outside at exactly the right moment. This beautiful spirit is freshly emerged and drying their wings in the sunlight.

GP Day 9: Yesterday, I was grateful to see friends! From a wonderful surprise visit in the morning to a beautiful drum circle at night, it was just lovely to see so many people I adore. It was also the perfect way to transition to our pre-pilgrimage introversion. #GratitudeProject2025

GP Day 8: Yesterday I was grateful for the other "chop wood/carry water" members of my community. The sweaty, non-glamorous parts of community support are so important. It's such a blessing to have other people willing to help. #GratitudeProject2025

GP Day 7: Today I am grateful for the kismet that occasionally pops up and brings the right people together at the right moment. It's absolutely wild to experience some of the ripples from those convergences. #GratitudeProject2025

GP Day 6: During the pandemic, a colleague contacted me with a plan to start a support/discussion group for active Pagan ministers. We still meet twice a month. I am grateful for that wonderful idea and the way it has grown and changed, continuing to support us all. #GratitudeProject2025

GP Day 5: This one will be a little vague-posty, but today I am SO grateful for my tendency to be methodical, by-the-book, and meticulous. I know it makes me difficult to deal with sometimes, but holy Hel it pays back the labor in gold. Usually when it most counts. #GratitudeProject2025

GP Day 4: This has been a hard growing season - the late cold temperatures and the seemingly endless rain stunted a lot of things. But there's one incredibly happy camper amidst it all: my wine grapes. I'm so grateful for a surprise bounty from the land I belong to. #GratitudeProject2025

GP Day 3: I am so grateful for the Frederick CUUPS community. That gratitude takes many forms, but today I'm specifically grateful for the beautiful First Harvest Service we collaborated on for the UUCF. What a great way to spend the morning. #GratitudeProject2025

GP Day 2: Today I am grateful for this glorious break in the heat, and the garden work it enabled. Topped up the sweet potatoes, pulled the spent brassicas, weeded the whole brassica bed, planted lettuce...it was wonderful 😍 #GratitudeProject2025

New blog today! This one is yesterday's sermon from the UUCF. It's all about the importance of seasonal community ceremonies and celebrations. Written and video versions available. glassewitchcottage.com/2025/07/28/t... #UUSky #PaganSky #HeathenSky

The land I belong to sings a song of harvest. The melody begins with mulberries, dark-dripping with sweetness. Just as the last notes ring out, the golden raspberries start their song from the riotous thicket on the hill. Soon, the wineberries pick up the melody and sing their tart, red notes. Now,

Whelp. That'll teach me to put the ritual supplies away *completely* rather than just setting them in my office. Pretty sure this is Amber's basket now. Lol. #CatSky

This never, ever gets old, and the 15 year old self who still lives in my heart is dancing 😍 Deep gratitude to Llewellyn! This year's contribution is all about Yule, grief, Sunwait, and a way to weave all those threads together. #PaganSky #WitchSky #HeathenSky

May the revealing powers of Coldplay bless you with discernment 🤣

Rural life: the words "traffic jam" take on a new meaning 🤣 These menaces took their sweet freaking time getting on their way. Lol.

Have had a Very Stressful Thing happening for a little over a week, and it finally resolved this morning. In the lightheaded oh-thank-gods afterwards, I went to the garden to try to get my head on straight. Somehow this ended up in my basket. I think my landvaettir attempted a hug 💚 #HeathenSky

Just Lìfa freaking me out by sleeping with her eyes open again 😑
