In fairness to Grok it does has him losing to WWE wrestler Roman Reigns, though Grok suggests Reigns could be attacked with memes.

Trump on moving Space Force from CO to AL: “The problem I have with Colorado—they do mail in voting. They went to all mail in voting, so they automatically have crooked elections. And we can’t have that.”
The very sick and dying TACO has voted by mail at least three times in the last 15 years.

Growing pumpkins has been fun this summer, but that time is ending quickly. Eleven pumpkins harvested, three looking viable and harvest ready in the next few weeks.

Been a slow summer for sunflowers in my garden this year it’s nice to see these beauties growing near each other. The thistles are artichokes that have blossomed. The ‘chokes do have pretty flowers.

#FavoriteWitchBooks While #Wicca may not be millennia old, there was something magical brewing in the New Forest when Gerald Gardner was living there. While I am not sure “Wiccan Roots” proves anything one way or another, Philip Heselton makes a good argument for witches before Gardner. #witchsky

#FavoriteWitchBooks Michael Lloyd’s “Bull of Heaven” is nominally a biography of NY Witch Eddie Buczynski, but it is so much more than that. In addition to Buczynski’s life story Lloyd also chronicles the early NY #Pagan movement and the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights. #witchsky

#FavoriteWitchBooks Reading Janet and Stewart Farrar's "The Witches' Bible" in my early 20s felt like participating in a graduate course in British Traditional #Witchcraft. There were other authors who set the table, but when I wanted to get serious about ritual, this was the place to go. #witchsky

#FavoriteWitchBooks Ahhhh “Ancient Ways!!” This is one of those 90s books that definitely “romanticized” pagan history, but I love it anyways. Full of seasonal crafts and dubious folklore AW is one of my “go-tos” when looking for ritual inspiration. #witchsky #witchcraft

#FavoriteWitchBooks A book about books!??! Oh yes! Magical books were not new to me when I started reading “Grimoires,” but the revelation at just how common they were at various points in time did surprise me. Magick has always been more common and popular than many historians let on. #witchsky

#FavoriteWitchBooks I discovered Silver Ravenwolf’s “To Ride a Silver Broomstick” in January of 1995 and it quickly became my favorite and most read #Witchcraft “101” book. TRaSB was the first intro book that felt to me like it had been written for Gen X. #witchsky

#FavoriteWitchBooks Calling “Children of Cain” a “study of Traditional Witches” is a bit of hyperbole, at least one of the groups profiled in its pages were not witches, but the histories in this book by the late Michael Howard are intensely readable and interesting. #witchsky #witchsky

#FavoriteWitchBooks Why my cat decided to attack THIS book will always be a mystery to me, maybe she was just so overcome by its awesomeness? And it is awesome, simply the best #witch memoir ever published. Doreen Valiente was truly the mother of modern #witchcraft .

#FavoriteWitchBooks I have been obsessed with holidays ever since I was a boy, and Ronald Hutton’s “Stations of the Sun” dives deep into their #pagan and Christian origins. Perhaps the densest (in terms of information) book I own, there’s just so much packed into this book! #witchsky

#FavoriteWitchBooks Join me as I share my twenty favorite Witch-related books, and provide some context as to why those are favorites. Today, the book that started it all DJ Conway’s Celtic Magic. This is not a “good” book but it most certainly provides a decent intro to #Wicca #witchsky

Spring has sprung in Northern California. The intoxicating scent of flowers is upon the breeze, birds are chirping, and bright blossoms charm the eye. Perfect morning for a walk while accompanied by a podcast with Ronald Hutton talking about the fey.

“Spring” is not my favorite season, but there is something deeply magical about putting on sandals and shorts for the first time in nearly four months along with seeing and smelling fresh flower blossoms while basking in the warm morning sun. #witchsky
