  • A Random Rebuttal

    The laypagans have been getting on my nerves lately. That’s my problem, not theirs, I’m big enough to admit it.

    However … we can’t fault laypagans for being laypagans.

    Some of us may have learning disabilities or have other things going on in our [...]

  • The Messy Witch

    I am a messy little hedgewitch
    I don’t want neat and clean
    Nice and safe
    Organized and orderly

    Keep your sterilized spirituality
    Keep your suburbs

    Don’t try to save me
    I like this mess

    Keep your answers
    I want to live in the questions

    Give me dark and chaotic
    Freedom and independence

    Let me think for myself
    I want to figure it out

    Keep the mystery in Mystery please
    I don’t want your textbook

    I don’t wanna know what’s round the bend
    I’m going there to find out
    For myself
    Yeah
