One of the more common experiences that those in the Pagan community can have is the experience of past life regeneration or reconnection.

Personally, I know of about three different lives that I’ve had before this one. In one, I am a suferagist in the early nineteenth century fighting for women to have the right to…

There Be Dragons – Celebrating Lughnassadh and Lammas With Your Dragon Guide

I don’t know about you, but over here in Seattle, the weather has been beautiful! Bright sunny days, barely a cloud in the sky, temperatures higher than 70 degrees Fahrenheit…Indeed summer is in full swing in the Pacific North West.

Granted, I’m not used to it being hotter than 65 degrees here, so I admit I’m a little wimpy when it comes to it being this hot.

Still, I cannot deny the…

Swimming with Mermaids

When I think of Summer, I think days where the heat is unbearably hot so we either stay inside to avoid dehydration and sunburn or we go out and play. Ideally with water so we can keep cool while enjoying the warmth of the sun.

Litha is a summer festival honoring the longest day of the year. We are halfway through Summer (though some say that it’s the beginning of summer. Usually I think…

Ma’at Wept

This week has been a whirlwind of rage and despair as our nation mourns the death of a good man who had been victimized solely because of the color of his skin.

George Floyd was murdered after being accused of trying to pay for a pack of cigarettes (Mercury News) with what was called “a forged check.” The police were then called and though he did not resist arrest, he was subdued and pinned…

Donald Trump refused to say that he would accept the results of November’s election. Journalists across the spectrum responded in horror.

This goes for all sorts of pets. I know some people like to leave food out for stray cats. Hate to break it to you, but that attracts raccoons and some domesticated cats are on a special diet for reasons and leaving food out could cause serious health issues. We all know you mean well, but please don’t feed our pets, no matter what kind of pet they are.

Attention people who don’t have horses:

Sorry to break in with this on a very much Sherlock-only kind of blog- I promise not to make a regular thing of this, but this is something that’s happened TWICE now. 

This is Beyli. He’s a two-month old foal and he’s adorable. He belongs to a friend of the family. 

So adorable, in fact, that a member of the public spent a nice afternoon feeding him. You feed the ducks and that’s ok. right? It’s a nice thing to do. 

They fed him turnip. He choked and gave himself a stomachache as a result.

The problem is that horses can’t really burp and horses can’t vomit. Their digestive systems are fine-tuned and when they go wrong, they go really wrong. Colic in horses is difficult to treat and in Beyli’s case, like many others, proved to be insurmountable. With pain medicine not working, after 4 hours of doing their best with no improvement, the vet called time on his suffering rather than let him go on to a very slow and painful end. 

A horse needlessly suffered and died because someone fed him the wrong thing. They weren’t necessarily malicious, they were just hugely ignorant. And worse, they were hugely entitled. There were already signs asking people not to feed the animals. As I said, this has now happened TWICE to the same family, and they’re by no means alone. 

PLEASE Don’t feed horses that don’t belong to you. 

Horses can have disorders, diabetes, allergies and dietry requirements and you have NO IDEA if what you’re giving them is acceptable or not. Even ‘safe’ things like carrot and apple could be ‘wrong’ for this particular horse. Grass clippings? Not okay. Grain? Not okay for a horse that hasn’t been regularly eating it. 

Don’t assume. i have seen walkers pull up random plants and offer them over the fence INCLUDING TOXIC, DEADLY weeds like ragwort. I’ve seen horses offered dog-biscuits and bread. I’ve heard of horses being regularly fed by strangers thinking they were being under-fed, when the horse in question was on a vet-given diet to control weight and other conditions. 

Don’t feed horses that don’t belong to you even little treats and things like sugar cubes because it gives them bad manners. They start biting and harassing people. It’s bad for their teeth and too much sugar is terrible for them.

In some places if the owner has liability insurance, if you can be identified, YOU will be legally responsible for the vet’s bills. And if you’re thinking ‘well, they’d never identify me’, then that’s besides the point. 

Please. You wouldn’t feed someone’s dog without asking, I hope. You definitely wouldn’t feed someone else’s child. 

TL;DR: Don’t feed other people’s horses. You can make them SERIOUSLY ill. Treat animals in fields like animals at the zoo: you’re welcome to look, but don’t meddle with their care. 

PLEASE DON’T FEED OTHER PEOPLE’S HORSES.

Why ya need to shut up about "shitty fanfic"

Do you know all those posts out here about being supportive of young artists and being careful with how you talk to them about their art? Or just appreciating fanart in general and not being a total asshole?

That doesn’t exist for fanfic writers.

I am so freaking tired of seeing posts talking about “what a pain it is to rake through shitty fanfic” and memes about “shitty fanfic existing in abundance” , “shitty fanfic being the only fics that update regularly”, “popular pairings having a ton of fanfic but only a few good ones”, and all this crappy attitude towards fanfics that may not be that eloquent or fandom famous.

Don’t be an asshole. Everyone needs to start somewhere. Maybe in a few years these writers will improve and make much better fanfic. Even if they don’t, they are doing something they love and should not be freaking criticized for it. Keep your ranting and opinions about “shitty fanfic” to yourself. You’re making a majority of fanfic writers feel self-conscious, unmotivated, and even more unappreciated.

Days like ‘fanfic writer appreciation day’ are super nice, but ultimately fall short unless we fix this horrid attitude fandoms have towards fanfic.

PSA: DO NOT BE A CLOWN THIS HALLOWEEN

There have been MULTIPLE cases of people dressed as clowns  LURING, KIDNAPPING, RAPING, AND MURDERING PEOPLE AND CHILDREN.

I had a group of 5th graders come up and ask me if I’d heard about the clowns and I heard of the scare tactics, but not the worse part. They told me they were going to buy their own candy this year and stay in and it broke my heart.  Halloween has always been the time to dress up as spooks to scare away evil spirits. Now we must do our part to help kids feel safe from evil people.

So, once again, PLEASE do not be a clown this year. If not for the children’s sake, then your own. Cops are on the lookout AND we all know how trigger happy America is.

Hope you have a SAFE Halloween.
