Blue Moon Honey
by angeliska on July 7, 2009
Oh my lovelies, it seems lately I’ve been a deep sea creature- swimming far beneath the photic zone, lost in dark blue folds of water- oblivion lit only by my brightly bobbing lantern lure. I’ve been trying to fight my (…)
Snakes + Leather
by angeliska on July 3, 2009
Recently we had a wonderful opportunity to spend some time with a very lovely snake named Sugar. Our friends Scott and Jen who are the founders of the Museum of Natural and Artificial Ephemerata were married recently, and went to (…)
Strawberry Honey
by angeliska on June 28, 2009
I remember a few years ago, in New Orleans, I bought a carton of strawberries at the Farmer’s Market. I had become somewhat ambivalent about them over the years, having eaten far too many over-inflated, pale and watery mutants with (…)
Scrapyard Honey
by angeliska on June 4, 2009
The other day we went out to the scrapyard. When your sweetheart is a blacksmith, this is a pretty common field trip. If you’re hunting for the perfect piece of metal junk or odd machine parts, then it becomes a (…)
La Reine Masquée de Mai
by angeliska on May 1, 2009
A belated May day wish is better than none- I wished so much today to be dancing around a Maypole, garlanded in roses and festooned with flowers! Perhaps tomorrow? I wouldn’t mind swinging in the forest in frills and very (…)
Witchness
by angeliska on April 22, 2009

Frozen Maidens in Folkloric Fantasyland
by angeliska on March 15, 2009
So winter has decided she’s not quite ready to hit the road, grey and glistening furs dripping ice-thaw in her wake! One last cold snap has popped us right in the jaw, but it brought lots of rain- which we (…)
Parades
by angeliska on March 1, 2009
It’s always so strange- the feeling of traveling a long way in the course of a day. A morning, and then an afternoon pass on the journey and I am hurtled across these old familiar highways back to a place (…)
Crimson Meteors
by angeliska on December 15, 2008
Last night we went to see the Golden Dragon Acrobats at the Paramount Theatre. Oh heavens, they were so incredible! I have rarely seen such feats of daring, grace and strength performed so playfully and (apparently) effortlessly. I want to (…)
Snow Maidens
by angeliska on December 9, 2008
Snow Queen – from a performance I did at the very last Cabaret Revoltaire in New Orleans. Today in Texas there was a record high of 80 degrees. It was too hot for the sweater and scarf I’d worn this (…)
