Does your husband sometimes turn into a crow, due to a spell? Try the Scottish solution:
1. Nail horseshoes to your hands and feet for ease of travel.
2. Disguise yourself as a cook.
3. Drop your ring into his soup at a feast.
Everything should come right.

For those of you who use academia dot edu for research, and don't bother to download the papers, I suggest that you go there NOW, TODAY, and download whatever is important to you, because scholars are going to start pulling their work off the site due to this.

This course is getting a lot of interest. I'm putting together a list of people who want to be notified when the early bird registration is open. You'd need to message me your email address and name to be added. (I won't spam you.) Or just stalk me across the net for the next few weeks. #pagansky

When I first started offering pay-what-you-can classes, it felt a bit risky but it’s a model I’m really happy with. My students act as a community to support the people who need to use the lower tiers in what seems like a pretty effortless flow.

Lugh, Lleu and Lugus: People often try to categorise one or all of these deities as a god of lightning, a simple battle hero, sun god, or paragon of virtue, without knowing all the details of their stories. (Lately, I've been hearing that overused buzzword trickster, too.) Info: tinyurl.com/LFL25

Since most of what I teach is based within Medieval culture, I'm going to insist that, going forward, students in my classes refer the the region shown by it's Correct Established Name of "India Nova". Please purge all mentions of woke terminology like "North America" "America" (see next post)
