Dear Moon Muser,
It's the Virgo Full Moon, and the Flint hagstone I'm wearing around my neck carries this message:
"I bring the inspirations of the Divine realms into practical manifestation in the physical world."
— from The Book of Stones by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian
I purchased it from the Museum of Magic, Fortune Telling and Witchcraft in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was found on a nearby beach. I believe that shore lies close to where my ancestors were once accused of witchcraft — for throwing stones like this into the sea and "causing" a ship to sink.
Wretched times — reflected in the rising fascism across the globe, and here in the USA, where I live part-time.
One way to resist this evil is to:
do your magick,
create fiercely, and
stay grounded and centered as you fight the good fight and walk your talk — whatever that means for you.
For me, it means writing these Moon Letters, drawing, painting, dreaming, meditating — and, of course, making zines. Zines are a punk-rock, activist, and effective way to get your message out — even if it's just for yourself and your own healing.
What is a zine?
”Zines are cheaply made printed forms of expression on any subject. They are like mini-magazines or home-made comic books...they have been around under different names (chapbooks, pamphlets, flyers). People with independent ideas have been getting their word out since there were printing presses. It's a great feeling to hold copies of your zine in your hand. Go ahead, there is no wrong way.”
— from Whatcha Mean, What's A Zine? by Mark Todd & Esther Pearl Watson

On a Personal Note
I've been invited to a Zine and Comic Festival at the Wignall Art Museum where I'll share my zines, Spell Cat postcards and Oracle/Tarot decks.
I'm thrilled to once again be included in the New Zealand Moon Calendar put out by the Creative Cronies. I'm also sad to say that this will be their last year doing the calendar, as they are retiring and will instead focus on their web gallery. Two of my images from last year's series of Hybrid Shadow Faeries will be included.
I'll have these zines available for sale soon! And if you'd like your soul reading to include a zine created just for you, please let me know.
Sparkly Blessings!
