hi regan! as a witch and poetry lover I'm so thrilled that our current spellbinder is also such a talented poet! I learned about this cool thing the other day that I think you'd like, you can figure out your elizabethan era poet name!

First name: The most popular US baby name exactly 100 years before your birth date

Middle name: The closest major city to where you are right now

Last name: Your mother's maiden name

my elizabethan poet name is John Anchorage Arden! I think it sounds so distinguished, what's yours?

Hello, spellbinderstan. I appreciate the url; I'm glad others have appreciation for the position. Thank you for your kind words. It's nice to meet another witch who appreciates poetry.

Elizabethan era poetry isn't my absolute favorite, but I'll figure out my poet name. Mine would be Mary Oberlin Parker.

I hope you are staying warm in Alaska.

Are you sure you want to be Spellbinder? Your posts don't make you seem thrilled about doing the work it demands

Yes. I am more sure about Spellbinding than I am about anything else in life. I apprenticed under Olive An for years before they retired just so I could know everything about the work we do. Preserving old customs and spells, curating the Text... it's an honor and a privilege to hold the position.

The work is hard, but it is undoubtedly worth it. I am sure everyone on earth complains about their job from time to time, no matter how fulfilling and important the work is.

Hey. There's a spell I want to send in. It's a spell that makes it so that you don't start to feel full when eating.

I suspect this is some kind of joke, but if this is a genuine spell, there should be a form in your copy of the Text that you can attach to your spell. Send it in in a more official manner than an anonymous Tumblr ask, and we will see about reviewing it.

In shadowed embrace,

Crow's caw breaks the silence still,

Winged sentinel.

beautiful tarot theme you've got going on here. have you ever considered publishing your own poetry? I think you would do numbers

Thank you. I have considered it, but my position as Spellbinder leaves me with little time for traditional poetry publishing logistics. But I appreciate the kind words. For now, I am happy to share my poetry with those who follow this blog.

Maybe once my current endeavors have been carried out, I will publish a book.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.

this book is too big

i'm taking pages out so my arms don't hurt

In our defiance we are still defied But have I not, as prophet, prophesied: Sick of our circling round and round the sun Something about the trouble will be done.

In the moonlight, time stands still. The present melts into the past, and my spirit communes with souls that have passed before me.
