A Few Things That Work (and other things)
Keeping my altar/shrine combo right in the freaking middle of the apartment. It is right in the entranceway, in fact. For no other reason there’s not really any where else to put it. It does however, keep the offerings and attention flowing. Out of sight, out of mind. In sight, on my mind … right?
I’m thinking of moving it into the sunroom in the warm part of the year. Then I can make a fuss about moving it “indoors” for winter each year etc. Who says you can’t have processionals in apartments?
Shelac. Sometimes, you just gotta use it.
My simple knife. It is by far the best tool I own for creation of sacred space and parting the Hedge. It is nothing more than a basic utility knife, handmade, with a wooden handle. The kind that you find at estate sales and flea markets. Something knife makers create for themselves, nothing fancy, just works. It fits in my hand, it’s just the right length. It’s old and worn.
I don’t even know what kind of wood the handle is made of. It’s old and beat up. I got it originally for whittling my stang. It’s now… Continue reading
Thor
FYI Folks: In the Marvel universe, Thor is NOT a god. He is an alien from another dimension, his people used to hang out on Earth playing at being gods.

Tolerance
“Tolerance doesn’t mean that everyone has to like you and that you have to like everyone and that there’s something deeply wrong with an entire community because some of its members can’t disagree without being douchebags. All tolerance means is that you put up with people in exchange for being put up with yourself. You don’t have to approve or embrace or endorse or even like someone to be tolerant. You just have to endure them. There are assholes and douchebags in every community.” ~ Dan Savage
Cat vs Plants
So the kitten has developed a need to kill my houseplants. He doesn’t eat them or poop in them. He just drags them out of their pots and spreads the soil around. My cat is an asshole.
I’ve tried the many different ways of discouraging this; such as putting them on a higher shelf. Putting obstacles in his way. Soaking him with the bad cat bottle. Spreading ground herbs such as cyanne pepper and mace on the plant shelf. Nothing is working.
My recently potted baby spider plants and my African violet may not be save-able. The palm might survive. The fern remains untouched, because it is hanging.
I shall have to make more plant hangers, pronto. And I might need to replace some plants.
It might also be time to give the cat a bath. Ahhhhh, sweet revenge.
P.S. Its sweet and I appreciate the sentiment but please don’t email, post comments, or message me about typos and spelling errors. This is a blog, not a thesis. Also many posts will now be made via mobile phone, blame autocorrect if you must.
