Many moons have passed since we last posted updates about life and whatnot… A surprising number, in-fact… I apologise for my unavailability in all that time.
To let you know, I’ve tried again to run a Tumblr blog, but was again shut-down. As such, I’m exploring Minds.com, as an alternative, though I’m just getting familiar with the site, particularly the blog feature, so I’m not posting a link, yet.
Quite a while ago, I spoke to Sallie-Ann Glassman, and will be getting in touch with her again soon, to see if she’s available in the new year to do a show with us about Louisiana Voodoo.

Well, the long awaited interview with Ellen Evert Hopman is done and posted! Go and listen. Pay attention for your chance to win a copy of Ellen’s book Secret Medicines from your Garden!
Well, I keep coming across more and more stuff that I have. So since we FINALLY found a home, we decided to set up our house altar again.
This is it. It is along the wall that is the exact center of the house, and I hope you recognize everything.

My ordination is hanging on the wall to the left. Staff and Stang in the corner to the right. There’s also a Long Wooden Meditation Flute in that corner that my daughter plays. Our coven Sword is there too.
Details of some of the altar tools:

You’ve heard Joy and me mention this book numerous times. Its latest cover is green, and it’s available at most good booksellers, online and off. The sheer volume of information it contains, relevant to pagans and preppers alike, makes it a worthwhile book for any shelf.
