So the Fool left the temple of the Heirophant wondering if he'd be in trouble again. Then he realized that the sun was shining. He focused on his little white dog dashing through the weeds chasing bright yellow butterflies.

"I wonder who the Eternal Couple is?" He lifted his jingly cap to scratch his head. "Or is that are?"

With a gay little laugh, the Fool began to skip down the dusty road. His dog scampered behind him barking in time with the melody of the silver bells from the hat.

What does the Fool learn from The Lovers and the Chariot?

Selling Post!! 

 

My husband and I will be moving soon, and in the interest of clearing out space and getting some extra moving cash, we're selling a bunch of roleplaying tabletop books. The full list contains over 50 books, many of them out of print or hard to find.

These are available individually (books are either $5 or $3) or as one big lot for $150 (buyer pays shipping).

PayPal preferred, and we will ship outside the US.

We've updated our catalog so that you can now make orders from it very easily.

And they're done!
Rainbow Wings was the youngest of the three sisters, and the main character in the stories I wrote when I was a kid. She was the most kind and pure, which is why the fairies gave her the present of the golden horseshoes that grant wishes. 
^_^ I has enjoyed reliving my childhood with these!

I'm feeling super productive at the moment, if still a tiny bit nauseous. But this cycle I seem to have mostly skipped the aches stage and the crampy belly stage... awesome! 
Now these are all done.... I've no more excuses to not start work on my accounts :(

Greetings! I began learning about Wicca recently, and what I've learned appeals to me. However, I don't think I'd be suited to work with a traditional Wiccan coven, even if I could find one that would have me, due to an intense schedule (college, work, and travel plans). It will be at least a couple years before I settle down enough to devote the necessary time to an initiatory path. So, for the time being, I want to develop a solitary neo-Wiccan practice that follows traditional ideas as closely as possible, or is at least heavily informed by them. Is this possible, or advisable?

I started out reading Deborah Lipp's Study of Witchcraft and Elements of Ritual, and Ronald Hutton's Triumph of the Moon. I'm planning to read the basics from Gardner, Valiente, the Farrars, and Vivianne Crowley. I'll try to figure out the Wheel of the Year with Ashleen O'Gaea, and learn about incense & gems & herbs from Cunningham. I'm also intrigued by Kaatryn MacMorgan's Ethical Eclectic; her approach seems to fit well with my situation. Does anyone have any recommendations, or proposed alterations to my list?

Any suggestions, advice, criticism, etc would be welcome. Thank you.

Two down, one to go. This is Sunset, she's the oldest of the three sisters, and the most brave and adventurous. Her gift from the fairies was a necklace that could transport her to anywhere that the sun shines!

Hi Everyone,
It's time for a new fairy painting! Here she is, on auction:

Twilight Hush
8.75x8.75in. Watercolor & colored pencil on 140lb cold press paper.
In the darkening quietude of twilight, a fairy with long dark hair settles atop a tree branch to watch the stars come out.

Also, I have Belle of the Ball available as prints:

Belle of the Ball PRINTS

Thanks so much for looking!

A very quiet day around the ol' Keys household. Mainly computer stuff. I do feel like drawing something though, so I will probably be doing that shortly. I liked this square format for this latest fairy painting! Although, it was one of those paintings that I HATED just an hour or so before completion. It had ugly stages. ;) I'm glad I kept going though, because now I like it very much.
My niece is still visiting her other family until Friday I believe, when we go and get her. She always has a ton of fun there!! Probably kind of boring to come back here, heheh. I made macaroni salad, yum. And found a recipe for Cabbage Burgers, which my mom used to make when I was a kid and I miss them. Oh boy, I think I'll attempt making them in the next few days! They take kind of a long time, with all the bread rising and such. I have a fine cabbage in the refrigerator that wants to be used.
My dad and I went to see "Hancock" at the movies yesterday, which was rather amusing. And, I totally didn't see the plot twist coming but I shall say no more. ;)
I haven't been on my bike since the huge bike ride of doom we went on a couple of days ago, haha -- it took a little while to recover from that one. Which is sad, tells you how out of shape we are!! It's those dang hills everywhere. I should like to have another ride this eve if it cools down out there. The smoke isn't quite as bad today, at least it wasn't this morning when I could actually see a bit of BLUE for a sky.
