I've Been Made Into a Poppet (and a New Class on Scrying!)

Well, people, my life's work is done. My highest goal has been achieved. Someone made me into a poppet.

The sweet and wonderful crew at Moon Phased in Winchester presented me with this yesterday. I am 100% certain she is cuter than I ever was or ever will be. Look at her wee button eyes! And insane dreadlocked hair! And she's holding AN EVEN SMALLER POPPET to commemorate my poppet-making classes. AND she's holding a tiny version of my Lilith painting! And under the ribbon, there's a cute pentacle necklace!

When I die, I am SO HAUNTING THIS THING. Just a warning.

In other news, if you are in the Winchester area, there's a new class coming to town:

KITCHEN DIVINATION: TEA LEAVES and  SCRYING JARS

Scrying and tea leaf reading are ancient arts that have been practiced worldwide…but how do you actually do it? In this adventurous class with your guide Tava Baird (who will not only bring tea but snacks) you will gain experience in reading tea leaves for yourself and others, and talk about many forms of scrying and how to ask the right questions when looking for answers. Each participant will be able to decorate and bless a jar for water scrying to take with them, and learn how to bind a simple pamphlet-stitch symbol dictionary and dream journal to accompany them on their journey. Fee: $55 includes all materials. Class Time: 2 1/2 hours. Held at Raven Conjure on Millwood Ave in Winchester. To register, go here:

Hope to see y'all in class! And THANK YOU to everyone who came out for the painting and bone-casting classes this last weekend! I love you all!

See you local witches at the Imbolc Indoor Mini-Market at moon Phased next Saturday 10-5! Come see the beautiful bone ritual knives I have on hand, the new prints, the new tote bags, and the first hard copies of The Ballad of Birdie MacLeod!

Lilith - And a Bit about the New Series and Oracle Deck!

Hello all! I wanted to thank everyone who is venturing into the new Spiral Pathways prequel series with the first book, The Ballad of Birdie MacLeod. Don't have a copy of Birdie yet? Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/Ballad-Birdie-MacLeod-Faerie-Between/dp/B0CTHQ6RW7/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3ECG6FF62WTYL&keywords=ballad+of+birdie&qid=1706758083&s=books&sprefix=ballad+of+birdie%2Cstripbooks%2C95&sr=1-1

Meanwhile, I have been moving ahead on the Oracle Deck. Lilith is a character later in the Birdie MacLeod series, (you see her VERY briefly in Bonewytch talking to Samael...actually, just her leg) but she is a major part of the Birdie MacLeod arc and will appear in Book 2 this summer. The Darkflower Oracle has several characters from the Birdie series included among the cards, and Lilith is among them! Here is the image from her card, just finished today.

For all you Lilith fans, Samael's oracle card is finished too, and has already been made into an 8" by 10" print. Lilith will be made into a print next week, and then she'll be cropping up at all my markets and on this site if you'd like to take her home. I have Lilith sigil casting cloths at the markets as well, and if you live too far away to come to a market just message me and I can ship to you! And...there will be little Lilith POPPET KITS available in March. I'll put up pictures here once they are out, and they will be available to purchase and ship too!

Thank you for visiting...and watch this space in mid February for another cool giveaway!

A NEW BOOK in The Spiral Pathways Universe IS HERE!

SURPRISE! There is now a prequel series for The Spiral Pathways. and book one, The Ballad of Birdie MacLeod, has just been released on Kindle and in paperback! Set twenty years before the events of Wyldwood, this new series begins on The Isle of Skye and features some familiar faces for readers of the original series while being a stand-alone story on its own. And what's better than Scottish witches? Scottish witch PIRATES. Yes, this ghostly tale of Scotland and Ireland set in 1722 features pirates aplenty, as well as all of the adventure, romance, and good ol' fashioned paganism you can handle. And its sequel will be out THIS SUMMER!

The Ballad of Birdie MacLeod is available here in paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTHQ6RW7

...and here on Kindle:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTGPM16T/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

...and signed copies will be available through this site in about a week! I also have wicked cool "Pirate Queen" tote bags with a skull and crossbones on them that will be available at the same time as well...

...and not to tempt you further, but Birdie has some MAJOR revelations and secrets about the events and characters of The Spiral Pathways tucked away in it. There's a mysterious event from Bonewytch that will suddenly make more sense to you if you read this series!

Happy reading, friends! Hope this book shivers your timbers!
