A Tentative Return?
Posted by Morrighan on March 11, 2019 at 12:31 am | Last modified: March 11, 2019 12:31 amI can’t believe it’s been five years since I last posted to this blog. So very much has changed, so very much.
Well, in these weeks leading up to Ostara I’ll be updating the website(s), getting everything tip-top again, and following that, hopefully a proper return. I’ve been away too long.
See you soon!

Imbolc and the Groundhog Day Theory
Posted by Morrighan on February 1, 2014 at 8:00 am | Last modified: February 1, 2014 11:57 amSo this post is going to be a little scattered. I’m under-caffeinated and freezing my toes off. I’m ready for spring! I’m ready for heat, really. Brrr, it’s been a long cold one, and not in a good way.
For the bulk of the population of North America and possibly Europe, February 2nd is Groundhog Day. If the little bugger sticks his head out of his den and sees his shadow (good weather), it’s another six weeks of winter for us. However, if he comes out and stays out, winter is over and spring is on the way.
Can you imagine being that species, doomed to living down being afraid of their own shadows? The reality is Groundhog Day takes its idea from a much older, more extended tradition; in Ireland, Scotland and Wales folk celebrated this time of year as the return of not only light, but of life. Oh yes, they did look for the hints of animal life as well, and usually around this time the hedgehogs and other small mammals began making their presence known once more…

New Year, No Promises
Posted by Morrighan on January 7, 2014 at 4:26 pm | Last modified: January 7, 2014 4:28 pmSo many weird things have gone on this week, I can’t even begin to explain any of them. Okay, maybe one little try:
It’s like 2013 crammed itself into one week, and said “see ya, sucka!”
I’ve removed Morri’s Moon, Artemis’ Sanctuary and Draco’s Den from the network. None of us were using those blogs, so there was no point in having them there. After the account problems this week, it was just another bit of security to worry about, so…gone.
Still, onward, ever onward. And all that crap, right? Right.
No promises for posts or articles or activities/updates/etc. for the next while. I’m back at the editing desk, back at my writing, back at my crafting. I spent last year overwhelmed, over-stressed and frankly at the end of my tether. Getting back to my writing again helped with that. Fiction, that is… I’m taking a break from the chapbooks for a while.
My editor and I decided that we want to include Esbats in the print version, rather than releasing it as a chapbook with the others. Of course there will be a digital version of the print version as well, so at some point, it’ll be available for all the readers out there. No worries!
I am hoping to get back on the bandwagon with posts here as well. However, if it happens I’m not posting here but you’d still like to see what’s what – stop by Jodi Lee – Into the Mirror. That one is supposed to have daily content this year!
I’ve updated my crafts page again today. Take a look at what the needle’s been up to! —> LINK
