Something lovely for the weekend! Minoan cups made by Bronze Age potters some 3,800 years ago! Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete 📷 by me #Archaeology

The crazy weather this winter is confusing the plants as well as the humans. Dandelions blooming in January. Definitely not normal around here! #dandelions #herbs #WildPlants #nature

You might be surprised to discover what kinds of musical instruments the Minoans played! lauraidaeja.substack.com/p/music-amon... #Minoan #music #Pagan

As an author, I'm a small business doing my best to be seen in the crowded marketplace. Each week, I share one of my creations with you. Maybe one of them will ring your chimes. Up this week: a little gay romance (not very spicy, sorry). www.lauraperryauthor.com/leap-a-love-... #books #GayRomance

Savory dinner pie of homegrown butternut squash and chestnuts plus a few other ingredients. #cooking #food

Chunky shroom on an old, half-dead tree in our little orchard. We leave standing deadwood wherever we can, since it's a vital part of the ecosystem. The woodpeckers especially appreciate it. #mushroom #tree #nature

Interesting fungus-induced growth pattern on a tulip tree sapling. #tree #fungus #nature

What, pray tell, is the one bird putting in those "hand" warmers?

In Thomas Love Peacock’s unfinished romance ‘Calidore’ (c. 1816), Arthur’s court travels to a mysterious island, home to the pagan gods since their worshippers abandoned them. Merlin introduces the court to Bacchus, who has ‘a most special friendship for Pan.’ #BookWormSat

We need to stop giving these things names. It humanises them too much.

As an author and artist, I'm a small business doing my best to be seen and heard in the loud and crowded marketplace. Up this week: a bit of historical fiction. Not the lightest work, but one that's very relevant to our times. www.lauraperryauthor.com/the-last-pri... #books #HistoricalFiction

Happy Gregorian New Year! #HappyNewYear

As the year comes to a close, let's have a review of what you've helped the Vagina Museum to achieve. It's time for 2025: WAPped.

Whatever you; buy it, or share this post, or like it, Thank YOU 😊🐈‍⬛ all support is truly appreciated, always! I'm Glad to find a way to let you read my book, especially in these really complicated financial times, everyone of us could use always a good #MoneySpell 💰 👉🏼 amzn.to/4qB6169

I think one aspect of analog revival, or even piracy & peer to peer resurgence, is more than simple nostalgia. It's getting to be about anti-surveillance at this point. A company keeping track of every little thing you did in a year while also constantly interrupting it is actually not that cute

Dragonfruit is so cheerful! It almost looks like a child's drawing of fruit. Or fruit out of a Dr. Seuss book. Look up pix of the dragon fruit tree for a delightful surprise! #fruit #DragonFruit

I hope you're not getting tired of these photos of bare branches in winter sunlight. The weather this tear has given us an unusual number of crisp, sunny days with deep blue skies, and I'm just enjoying the beauty of it all. I hope there's something beautiful outside where you live. #nature #winter

It turns out there is such a thing as a cupcake stand, like a tiny pedestal cake plate. I'll use this one as an offering stand on one of my altars. #pagan #PaganSky #Witch #WitchSky

We have a lovely pair of Minoan Tarot cards for this week, when one Gregorian year ends and the next one begins. lauraidaeja.substack.com/p/in-the-car... #Minoan #Tarot #TarotSky

Blessings of the season to you all!

Homeless people need homes. And money. Anything else is about the giver.

DO NOT call up the homeless shelter on thanksgiving or Xmas to see if you can pass a few plates and show your kids the “reason for the season” The homeless shelter is not a petting zoo of human tragedy! The homeless shelter is not a drive thru nativity scene for you to enjoy!

Unmitigated illness is a tool used by fascists to eliminate the groups of people they hate & have deprived of resources, while making money off those who can afford to play the pay-to-win game of for-profit healthcare. Wearing an n95 is an act of hope, solidarity, & resistance. Give/get mutual aid:

Gathering these buds always felt like a technological marvel, defying all known horticultural principles.

So I just heard about this book which was a practical guide to how average people could resist Nazis in every day work by bogging them down with malicious compliance etc. Of interest to... Umm historians, I guess? Merry Christmas! 🎄🌟🎁 gutenberg.org/ebooks/26184

James Merril’s poem “Christmas Tree,” written while he was dying of AIDS. 1995.

A bit of holiday cheer from a green friend. #plants #PottedPlants #ChristmasCactus

Krampus is overrated, my favourite Christmas characters are the mob of bird cultists and the Christmas Baphomet.

I like how the pudding is just kinda irritated that he's being eaten.

I love the angle of the sunlight this time of year, the way it highlights the three-dimensional world. What time of year brings your favorite kind of sunshine? #winter #trees #sunshine #nature

I decided to try some new tea. My first impression: looks like paint water, smells like a gift shop. 😆 Others might like it, but the musty-bitter taste of butterfly pea is not for me. Ah well. I had to give it a try anyway. #tea #HerbTea #ButterflyPea

Our new front door has a pretty fan light window. I'm fairly enamored of it. #door #window

Posting the sign so I can tap it when necessary.

We have a couple of delightful Minoan Tarot cards this week, for the lead-up to Solstice. lauraidaeja.substack.com/p/in-the-car... #Minoan #Tarot #TarotSky

The forecast called for mild conditions, perfect for napping under a giant horseshoe while small men with candles and a watchful pig await your awakening.

Happy holidays! My publisher made me a lovely holiday graphic, and it's in my favorite color: Minoan blue! www.lauraperryauthor.com/pantheon-the... #book #books #pagan #PaganSky #spirituality #HappyHolidays
