I am a cause for concern

As if you didn't already know that. But check this out - When Pagan Parenting came out, the Fundie Christian Right compared me (and MTV) to Hannibal Lecter. Now a new book entitled, Generation Hex: Understanding the Subtle Dangers of Wicca, includes me in a list of just how big those Wiccan numbers are growing. They say that pagan homeschooling networks are growing and that many of them use resources like Pagan Homeschooling by Kristin Madden. (Horrors!) They go on to tell… Continue

Musings on Freedom

So my rehab complement is really low and I am not spending all day medicating, feeding, and running to the vet. I just released my last baby Cooper's Hawk yesterday and it was such a fabulous feeling to see her fly off and then sit in a tall tree, surv… Continue

Vote for my new book cover!!!

Vote for my new book cover What a cool idea! Spilled Candy Books (www.spilledcandy.com) is running a contest to choose a cover for the revised and re-released version of my "Mabon" book. They have two great covers up right now. I am nearly finished with the cookbook too. Gods, that has been a TON of fun to do. I am planning to have that in to Spilled Candy by May 1 because I know I will have little time to write and NO time to cook and play with recipes once the cli… Continue
