Folklore is Necessary, Bigotry is Not, and How to Spot an Expert
Hello everyone. Yes, I know it’s been a long time. This year has had both beautiful and tragic things changing my plans. This blog was also attacked by a racist troll. That has been handled, and their comments will never be seen. I don’t even have to read them, as they are instantly deleted. Yay! This is MY space, and I am honored to share my experiences and expertise with you, and it is my right and obligation not to…

Celtic Mythology Resources Part 2: Spiritual
In Part 1 of Celtic Mythology Resources, I showed you some resources that were more academic and covered a lot of the Celtic mythology and folklore so you could get a good foundation of knowledge. In Part 2, I’ll be sharing more Celtic mythology resources for spirituality. I think both sides are important and one doesn’t have to be more correct than the other.

Ways to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day that Don’t Require Drinking
The green beer. The tacky hats. The “I’m Not Drunk, I’m Irish!” shirts. You know these things. Most people in the U.S. celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by dressing in green, covering themselves in glitter (which I have no objection to— I love glitter!) speaking in horribad “Irish” accents, and getting drunk out of their minds. Do what you want and be safe (please be safe), but if that isn’t your style, then I have some other suggestions for how you…
