Yesterday Weretoad and I went to Central NY’s Pagan Pride Day located at Long Branch Park in Liverpool, NY. We had a lovely time. In many ways, PPD has becoming a homecoming of sorts now that I’m living in Northern NY. I love seeing so many of my old Pagan friends from Utica as wellContinue reading “Central NY Pagan Pride Day”

An Image-Heavy Update Of Druidic Proportions!
Life has been pretty busy this past week due to work, a death in the family, and plans with friends and family. My craftiness has been slowed and, as work picks up, will probably stay that way for a few months. I still have a DP to finish reviewing and an email from my menteeContinue reading “An Image-Heavy Update Of Druidic Proportions!”
Mmm…essential oils…
Today, Weretoad and I went to a craft show in Clayton sponsored by the Thousand Islands Art Center. It was exquisite with high quality artisan crafts; probably the most diverse and interesting craft show I’ve ever seen – along with Utica’s Indie Garage Sale. Weretoad bought me a stained glass triquetra. I bought tea treeContinue reading “Mmm…essential oils…”
Thoughts on the Esbat and Some Shopping
Today I attended an Esbat – the first in a couple years, I think. It was put on by the local CUUPs chapter. There weren’t as many people there as there were last time, but still some familiar and new faces. The ritual was very Wiccan, which isn’t a problem, of course, but I’ve notContinue reading “Thoughts on the Esbat and Some Shopping”
Living in Northern NY
As of August 6th, Weretoad and I have been residents of Northern NY for a year. We moved up here from the Mohawk Valley last year. It’s been a bit of a transition. I’ve been meaning to write about it. In many ways, the North Country is similar to the Mohawk Valley. It’s still NYContinue reading “Living in Northern NY”
A Day in the Adirondacks
My husband and I, rather spontaneously, decided to visit The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, NY. It was the second time we’ve been and was just as fun as the last time! There were a few new additions, such as an impressive, stuffed moose in the great hall, a farmers market (open only on Thursdays),Continue reading “A Day in the Adirondacks”
Attempting to be a Fashionable and Eco-Friendly Pagan
It was warm yesterday so I put on my new black capris slacks (so soft!) and a black tank with a lovely, loose scoop-neck short sleeve over it. I thought my outfit would look particularly pulled together with all-black sandals*. At the moment I have a very old, very worn pair of brown wedges, aContinue reading “Attempting to be a Fashionable and Eco-Friendly Pagan”
Today was busy but in a good way. I went to Massage Works in Watertown for my monthly massage. My therapist says she noticed I didn’t have as many knots this time. I asked her about lomilomi massage, because I was curious, and she did some on me. It was interesting but not something IContinue reading
Exploring Watertown and Sewing a Skirt
I had a lovely day with my husband and parents yesterday. I showed my parents the Paddock Arcade, where I broought my mother Moontide Arts, the New Age shop, while the men waited outside. She really loved all the clothing there. We also went to some boutiques on Court St. like the fair trade/thrift shop andContinue reading “Exploring Watertown and Sewing a Skirt”
First Contact
When I moved to the North Country I started to poke around Witcvox’s directory to see who was around here. I do so every few weeks out of boredom and, sometimes, loneliness. I soon became aware of a shop called Moontide in Watertown. My work schedule and unfamiliarity with the area made it difficult forContinue reading “First Contact”
