Your neighborhood kitchen witch

When the going gets tough, the tough layer over their jangled energy with baking. With HEALTHY baking. This is my favourite cookie recipe. I’m rather big on not…
6 Petro (6 of Wands) Legba La Flambeau Legba La Flambeau as the new sun rises and lets his light shine. He is old because every “new sun” or “new day dawning” is the product of a natural process old beyond reckoning. He still revels in the newness of each day, as old as he…
The daily Tarot post for April is up, but I thought I’d share something else with those of you in Blog Along With Effy. Life is not all being chastised by my Tarot deck. There is social media and building a presence to agonize over, too! 😁 So I have three Instagram accounts. Three blogs….

Healingthrutarot is having an April Tarot Challenge and this is the first prompt. I’m not sure how many I’ll do but I’m trying for every blessed one of them. I’m using my copy of The New Orleans Voodoo Tarot. For nearly 30 years it’s been my go to Tarot deck, especially for personal work. Damballah…
Interesting things have been happening. I recently had my diagnosis of chronic rhinitis changed, to a severe dust mite allergy with allergy and exercise induced asthma. When the lockdowns started and we spent all our time inside, I started to get “croupy” on a regular basis. I’d always been “snotty” but it was never a…
