It's New Year's Day, which means it's time for us bibliophiles to post our previous year's reading lists! I don't know if anyone else cares about these, but we take this annual tradition very seriously. 😉 #WritingCommunity #WitchSky #pagan #fantasy #fiction

Is the divine really just one entity wearing many masks, a thing of endless faces and facets yet only one voice, only one mind? Given the breadth of human experiences, I doubt it. I think the divine is like water... (cont)

I am the battle of Thunderbird and Whale.
I am the fierce daughter of Gaia.
I am a sister of the Ring of Fire, along with Mariana, Sunda, and Atacama.
I am the mother of mountains, of Tahoma and Lawetlat’la.
I am Cascadia. (cont @ link)

Every night

Grief Keeper, the Oracle proclaims me, and the title strikes true, hits center and buries deep. See all the dead I carry with me, everywhere I go? In my bones and blood, my breath and saliva... (cont)
