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

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 😑

New book announcement up on the blog today! We're joining the Llewellyn family 💚 Details here: glassewitchcottage.com/2025/07/09/n... #HeathenSky #PaganSky #WitchSky

New Blackfeather witchcraft training is now enrolling. This intermediate training is available both in person and online. Details at BlackfeatherMystery.com #PaganSky #WitchSky

New blog this morning! Yesterday's sermon is all about ways to move past feeling spiritually "stuck." It includes some interesting Unitarian Universalist history as well. Written and recorded versions available. glassewitchcottage.com/2025/07/07/p... #UUSky #PaganSky #HeathenSky #PaganSky

"We have been WASHED and BRUSHED and had our NAILS TRIMMED and need to report a WAR CRIME" 🤣 #DogSky

Found another marble while gardening today. I'm up to three! Historic houses are fun. The oldest part of ours was built in 1768, so we periodically find gifts from the past. I keep everything we've found on a little shelf in the kitchen. My shrine to those who loved this place before I did.

This is a concentration camp. Call it Alligator Auschwitz, because that's what it is. This is America. Never forget and never forgive the people who allowed this to happen.

Grace. Refinement. Elegance. #CatSky

Cat loaves come in different sizes. Here we see a Baguette and a Rustic Farm Loaf 🤣 #CatSky

Last of the peas, first of the beans. Summer turns onward.

Oh, the indignity of spay recovery jammies 🤣 #CatSky

Two offerings this week: Friday is monthly-streaming-workshop time - this one is on the intersection of witchcraft and ethics. On Sunday, I'm at the Hagerstown UU. The sermon is on kinship with the natural world. Info for both: glassewitchcottage.com/in-person-ev... #WitchSky #PaganSky #UUSky

One of the many ways we can support our families and communities is by learning how to help in an emergency. If you haven't been trained for CPR/AED, or if it's been a while, consider picking up a class. The more of us who know how to help, the better off we all are.

The longest day is here again! Bright Sunna, we beseech your bounty. Shine on us, Lady. May the crops grow strong, may the herbs be potent, may the fruit grow sweet, may all that is green and good flourish beneath your dance across the sky. (1/3) #HeathenSky #PaganSky #WitchSky

New blog this morning! This is one of my columns for the Words of Faith section of The Frederick News-Post . FNP columns are written for a broad audience who may not be familiar with Pagan beliefs. shorturl.at/hhQyn #PaganSky #WitchSky

Me trying to show you my awesome new boots from @verillasclothing.bsky.social - a triptych 🤣 Hoping to get these broken in enough to wear them to the Kindred Crow show on Saturday. #DogSky #PaganSky #HeathenSky #WitchSky

Good morning, lovelies. Here is one of your periodic reminders from the friendly neighborhood witch: hope is a practice. It is a series of decisions and actions that cause an outcome in terms of outlook and mindset. Hope is a seed we plant, tend, nurture, and whose fruit we eventually harvest. (1/8)

My late father loved Popeyes and margaritas. So, every year on or near his birthday, my sister and I sneak booze and fried chicken into the graveyard and have a little birthday picnic with him. That which is remembered, lives. We love you, Dad.

Yesterday's sermon is up! Video and transcript available. This one is all about finding your personal cycle of holidays and seasonal markers, and how that supports spiritual connection. glassewitchcottage.com/2025/06/09/w... #UUSky #PaganSky #HeathenSky #WitchSky
