One day, you’ll go someplace a little…different. Crawl through a door that goes nowhere, perhaps. Or maybe under a tree. You might not want to eat the food. It’s been known not to sit well. See a circus. Know things aren’t what they seem. Come back home. And then you’ll wonder… Was it all a dream? I’ve been thinking…

Pagan Paths: Etherism
Pagan Paths is a post series dedicated to showing that paganism is not, as it’s often portrayed, a monolith, but an umbrella term for a variety of different, living, breathing religions and paths. This week, Kinsey agreed to chat with me a bit about Etherism. What’s the name of your path? Etherism Is your path…
Tarot Inspiration: Deviant Moon
I’ve been getting back into tarot again, after several years – I gave it a shot when I was younger and didn’t find it worked very well for me. I’m giving it another go with some less traditional, more intuitive decks and having much better luck this time around – along with having a newfound…
Simple Syrups = Simply AWESOME
When I worked at a coffee shop, my favorite drink was Italian cream soda, hands down. I love sugary coffee drinks but they are rather unkind to my stomach (and my nerves). Ever since being able to make the sodas to my specifications, I haven’t quite been satisfied with most shop-bought sodas. Club soda and half and…
Recipe: Portobello mushroom & roasted asparagus
This is one of my favorites! I don’t always eat them together (I usually do the portobello mushroom with garlic toast and the asparagus with grilled cheese), but they’re so awesomely delicious, I thought it’d be a good idea to share: 1 clove garlic 1 small lemon – about the size of a golfball, like…
Recipe: Awesomesauce Vegetarian Chili
I found this recipe a while back, I can’t remember where – it was listed as vegetarian, but looking through the ingredients, the only thing keeping it from being vegan is the addition of the vegetarian faux hamburger. It is spicy but not too spicy, super filling, and best of all, makes a TON of…
Sandman and American Gods: Problematic Portrayals – Part Two
This is part three of the Sandman and American Gods series. The intro is here and part one is here. This is part two, which discusses the theme of “poor old pagan gods, nobody worships them any more”, which is repeated ad nauseam through American Gods and Sandman. So, it’s stated numerous times throughout American…
Sandman and American Gods: Problematic Portrayals – Part One
So, if you recall the last installment, what we’re discussing today is one of the main themes in American Gods: that America is a bad land for gods/that there were no deities in America before non-indigenous people colonized America. I’m discussing them as one theme together because they go hand in hand – why weren’t there…
Sandman and American Gods: Problematic Portrayals – Introduction
I know people get really touchy when you talk about their favorite artists, so let me say ahead of time: I like Gaiman’s work, for the most part. I think he’s a good writer. However, after doing a lot of thinking about it, I also think there are issues in some of his work that…
What do YOU want to see here?
I’m going to be completely honest with you guys. I’m struggling with the direction of Wicked Whimsy, pretty hardcore – I’m a little burnt out on style and fashion related writing, although I’m still interested in it personally…I just feel like I have nothing interesting to say about it right now. But I’m not sure…
