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 (…)
Mysterious Wisteria – The Awakening
by angeliska on April 29, 2014
I’ve been saying it over and over for the past few weeks now: I feel like I’ve woken up from a strange dream. Or more, it’s like waking up from a dream within a dream within a dream – never (…)
Autumn Heralds
by angeliska on September 24, 2012
The Oxblood Lilies are telling me it’s fall now – the autumnal equinox has crossed over us with candles lit, and the scent of burning cinnamon bark. I mean to have a Mabon feast for the Witches’ Thanksgiving, but it (…)
SUMMER SOLSTICE – IF WISHES WERE HORSES
by angeliska on June 20, 2012
Another solstice snuck up behind me on soft little feet, all laughing and tinkling bells and teasing rain. For the last two days, storms have come and gone, and dropped nary a thimbleful on my garden. We had one of (…)
Magic Windows #12
by angeliska on April 20, 2010
Hooray, it’s Magic Windows time! It’s been the most gorgeous, luscious spring here – the last few days have been stormy and sullen (in a really enticing way!) Normally, I’m not a fan of gray and gloomy weather, but the (…)
Strange Season
by angeliska on October 16, 2009

Good things: I received a surprise parcel this week from my long-lost friend Herr von der Goltz- it contained a disc- Music of the Tatar People and a book from 1903, German Wit and Humor. I love the nouveau cover! (…)
Fruit + Flower
by angeliska on March 25, 2009
All of a sudden it is really and truly Spring, and I can’t even begin to say how relieved I am. Not that winter here is so insufferable- (it’s really so mild and short) but ever since we started our (…)
Avgvstvs I.
by angeliska on August 14, 2008
I am accompanying Hello Lovers on ocean-harp tomorrow night- come and see! Also, the magical and adorable Faith Delphi and Aaron Blount I am freaking out with joy about this: It is a matryoshka doll with a theremin built into (…)
Take a walk with me..
by angeliska on May 12, 2008
This is the face of an accomplished woman. My wee jaunt to Indiana was no mere pleasure trip- (though lovely and lackadaisical in the the extreme it was indeed) the journey was occasioned by the graduation of one of my (…)
