The Reading Challenge

This week in reading paradise:

The Primitive Witch's Handbook: The Essential Guide for the Primitive/Country Witch in a Modern World
compiled by Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc.

As I dance a primitive path, this little gem resonated with me. The author doesn't yield to man-made redes, pageantry, rituals, ritual garments, priestess hierarchies, and a slew of other directives commonly found in the published works concerning the craft. The only deity is oneself. Do  what you feel is right, and ignore the opinions of others--this is your craft.

I like her.


Dracula in Love, Karen Essex.

A light, easy read. I was irritated at Drac at the end of the novel, though. Never before have I wanted to bitch slap a character in a novel.

You decide.

Currently reading Poppy Palin's (no relation to the godzilla of Wasilla) Craft of the Wild Witch. Also, Nujood Ali's I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced--OK, not "crafty", but women's rights are up there and if someone doesn't like it, bite me. "Forks Over Knives" was reccommended by my doc. Apparently, I was doing this anyway.

I need to wash my hair before Downton Abbey comes on.
