E218: The Wild and Wooly Battle Part II

Part II: Y’all, It’s been a while (and now I can hear the song by Staind in my head) since I’ve had to actually deploy my sword.  As a Crone, as a grandma, I thought this

E212: Asshattery, Elders, and Everything In Between

There's a lot I'm not free to say here, y'all. But what I can push out into the world is this: Elders, specifically the Witch and Pagan kind, have more work to do. And I

E206: Shut Up and Sing

*Let's talk, Batchildren. It's time to put it all on the table. When folks go through something earthshattering, they can't just go back to who they were--although, that
