Nothing says "yes, I come from a WASPy family" quite like renewing your mother's subscription to the English Muffin of the Month club for her birthday 🤣

"I can explain." #DogSky

New blog this morning, this one is all about selecting a single word intention for the coming year. This article talks about the practice, how to implement it, and what word I've selected for 2026. Read it at GlasseWitchCottage dot com :) #WitchSky #PaganSky #UUSky #HeathenSky

Always an honor to support our Unitarian Universalist Christian/Christian-adjacent brethren on one of their holy days. Beautiful Christmas eve services tonight. #UUSky #HeathenSky #PaganSky

Blood donation today! Power red (double unit of red blood cells). If you can donate and haven't in a while, here's your reminder that life is the best gift you can give ❤️

Whelp. Dogmas was fun while it lasted 🤣 #DogSky

One of my own little Yule traditions: this year's Yule mead (Julbocken this time - the Yule 🐐) is in my new fermenter and merrily bubbling away. Brewing mead is a promise to the future - in this case, that we will be there to give this away to our friends and family next Yule. #HeathenSky

The house is clean, the fire built up, and a small repast waits for those who visit. A blessed Mothers' Night to all who celebrate. #HeathenSky

New blog this morning! This is one of my columns for The Frederick News-Post's Words of Faith section. As always, I'm grateful to them for including Pagan clergy in their roster. Read it here: tinyurl.com/yjkfum66 (1/4)

On the sixth of Sunwait, we honor Laguz: healing. May all spirits who dwell here with us, all those who come in frith to our home, heal. May there be rest, recovery, and renewal. We welcome Laguz with the returning sun. May your healing grace us in the next solar year. Hail, Laguz! #sunwait

Just a reminder that the holiday season doesn't mean abandoning boundaries, especially the hard-won ones. If they're still going to treat you poorly *after* the holidays, they don't get some sort of consequence hall pass during them. Hold the line and you'll have a better season.

Study with @matauryn.bsky.social at the Sacred Space and Between the Worlds Conference in Maryland February 18th - 22nd. Mat is presenting several programs including "Psychic Witch: Empowering Your Magick With Your Mind." Check out the description: sacredspacebtw2026.sched.com #WitchSky #PaganSky

On the 5th of Sunwait, we honor Algiz: protection. May this home be safe and protected from harm. May we be able to offer shelter & safety to our beloved ones when needed. We welcome Algiz with the returning sun. May your protection shine in the next solar year. Hail, Algiz! #sunwait #HeathenSky

On the fourth of Sunwait, we honor Wunjo: joy. Joy to all who dwell here, all who visit and spend time within these walls. May joy flow radiate outward like light. We welcome Wunjo with the returning sun. May you shine your joy brightly in the next solar year. Hail, Wunjo! #sunwait #HeathenSky

Hope: A Triptych Subtitle: Reasons I can't leave the kitchen while the turkey is resting. #DogSky

On the third of Sunwait, we honor Ansuz: inspiration and the gathering of knowledge. Clear communication so that wisdom may flow. The power of language when coupled with acumen. We welcome Ansuz with the returning sun. May you shine with inspiration in the next solar year. Hail, Ansuz! #sunwait

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. The online course meets live but sessions are also recorded for those who can't make the livestream in person. Visit BlackfeatherMystery.com for more information. #PaganSky #WitchSky

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.
