clearing my chakras

Hello, reader.  How are you doing?  I needed help clearing my chakras–two chakras in particular: heart and root.  A while back, I asked for help from someone who turned out to be bad news for me, and it never happened. Then I asked Ming and a couple other friends.  My dear housemate friend said yes,… Read More »

my head

“Will you pray for my head?” I asked Ming.  “Can you put your hands on my head and pray for me?” “Yes,” he said.   He touched my head.  “I pray that your head can think the good thoughts.” “Wait,” I said.  “That’s not what I want you to pray for my head.” “I pray that… Read More »

new interview: zines, witchery, power in community

Hello, how are you?  There’s a new interview up on youtube.  A two person roundtable conversation.  A brilliant witch living in community in the South invited me to speak. We talk about some of my favorite topics.  My experience as a multi-outsider in the Catholic Worker is great to talk about.  I love what I… Read More »

hat genius 25

Hello, I made a new poetry zine: hat genius 25.  I wrote the poems slowly over the months, mostly when Ming and I still lived in Las Vegas.  There’s a new one called “trans” that I wrote a week or two ago, I think somewhere in California. More recently I finished the zine’s first poem… Read More »

protection

I made a new mini-zine–it’s called Protection.  It’s one legal size paper folded up, with words in the middle also. I’ve had great feedback about How Not to Domestic Violence Anyone.  So I realize these small ones can be very meaningful, even though they’re funsize.  I’m happy to experiment with what works and how I… Read More »

divorce ritual

I facilitated a divorce ritual for my good friend.  Her divorce had been in progress for a long time–then one day, it was finally finalized.  She’d asked me to do a ritual with her when it was done.  I was happy to be there for my good friend.  That’s what community is about.  I love… Read More »

night desires

There are night desires–they make night sense.  Then day desires often win.  Day is bright, more rational, and gets stuff done.  Flooded with light.  But night desires are where I live. I worshiped the moon for a long time.  I feel like my real myself in fall and winter.  Truly, I feel like a different… Read More »

Lavender Witch

I’m so happy about this band Lavender Witch.  I’m zine friends with one if its members.  This video is beautiful.  I love the “you think you’re so much better than us” part.  It makes me feel strong in who I am. “Not My Sister” is addressing TERFs, I think.  Or just anyone who says they’re… Read More »

witch problem

“Hey, honey.  Can you advise me on this witch problem I have?” I asked. “Sure,” Ming said. “Ok, so I was thinking.  I should get a tortilla.  Then I can write something on it and bury it in the ground, and it wouldn’t be littering.” My recounting of this conversation is accurate, but the ideas… Read More »
