IMBOLC – Brighid’s Blessing
by angeliska on February 1, 2018
Every year on Imbolc, I honor the sacred wheel’s turning by doing some ritual spring cleaning: I like to clear out my tarot trailer, tidy my house, wipe down my hearth and altars with sweet oils. I sweep the cobwebs (…)
Wisewoman Honey
by angeliska on September 25, 2014
Tonight is the new moon, both a few days after the Autumnal Equinox and a new year, if you celebrate Rosh Hashanah (and if you do, then שָׁנָה טוֹבָה to you!) I’m trying to slow down a little, and remember (…)
Beltane Vivification
by angeliska on May 1, 2014
Today is Beltane, the first day of May, and the world is bright and beautiful – at least, it is from where I’m sitting. Out my window, climbing roses twine over the gate, and my garden is coming along nicely (…)
MARDI GRAS DAYS OF YORE – CIRCA 2009
by angeliska on February 6, 2013
I’m opening a time capsule into a Mardi Gras day of yore that I never got around to writing about – I have a few of those stowed away in my dusty attic of an archive, and it’s just not (…)

by angeliska on July 22, 2011

Magic Windows #20
by angeliska on November 29, 2010
More Magic Windows photos from my New Orleans adventures: This house was decorated so wonderfully for Hallowe’en + Dia de los Muertos, I had to stop and gawp at it for a bit. I wonder who lives there? I like (…)
New Orleans Hallowe'en
by angeliska on November 18, 2010
Before too much time escapes through my glass, I must give you a little peepshow into the depraved and delightful scene that was our New Orleans Hallowe’en. It was actually a shockingly mellow night, aside from the total shitshow that (…)
Sur la Plage
by angeliska on September 15, 2010
It’s quite amazing what a week or so away from your everyday life can do for one’s perspective. I always return from my travels newly inspired, and oddly even more in love with home, and the city I live in. (…)
New Year's Redux
by angeliska on January 21, 2010
Ahoy! New photos have surfaced from our New Year’s Eve adventures in the Texas Hill Country, from Mr. Chip Warren, esteemed gentleman and fantastic photographer. Following are a handful of my favorites, but the full set can be seen here: (…)
Blue Moon
by angeliska on December 30, 2009
Here we go, darlings – on the precipice of a new year, and just nearly ready to dry our sticky wings on the other side of the future! 2010, for real? I mean, doesn’t it seem slightly preposterous, as if (…)
