Credentials
Originally posted on Steel City Witch:
I was recently asked to provide credentials on why I, and other Reclaiming Witches, have the right to call ourselves witches. Specifically, the concerns raised were that we call ourselves witches in the face of many ongoing deaths under the title, and that we are being culturally appropriative when…

Airplane Poetry

Gnats in a Sunbeam
Gnats gathering in a sunbeam Dancing in the fading warmth, Enjoying the light while it lasts while winter draws near. They dance, shadows barely visible on the fallen leaves Their song only that of a near silent hum and the rustling of branches The last dance before falling asleep One last praise of the…
On the Tempering of the Blade
Sitting in the cauldron, stirring myself. Sitting in the fire, melting and watching as dross sheds from my skin. Parts of me that I’ve picked up over the years, thinking they were useful, thinking they were parts of me. And feeling each little death as it heats and pulls away, revealing the white-hot blade ready…
