  1. It’s easier to fool people… Weekly Recap 4/27/2026

    Someone once said: “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”

    The quote is usually attributed to Mark Twain, though there’s no real evidence to support that. Despite not knowing for sure where it came from, it’s still a great quote.

    Now, it’s certainly not something I “live my life by,” but it has been on my mind a lot recently. You know, due to the state of the world and everything.

    Most people (maybe it’s not fair to say “most”—if you think it’s unfair, substitute “many”) don’t ever reevaluate beliefs. They form an opinion and then run with it until they die. And it doesn’t matter how much evidence comes up to the contrary.

    Just something to keep in mind.

    Good morning and happy Monday, friends.

    Our coven celebrated an early Beltane this past Friday. There was magick and food and even some improvised Maypoles. We made honey jars and had a lot of fun. Pan and Aphrodite were up on the altar.

    Unfortunately, I’m not feeling very well this morning so I’m going to keep it rather brief. If you’re bored, you can go and watch this silly short video I made.

    Over the last week, I’ve been wrapping up final projects and papers for my Spring semester. I had to make a video presentation that ended up being almost 30 minutes long. Ridiculous!

    In other news, I’m working on a new episode of M3 (hopefully out later this week) and—because people have asked for it quite a few times—a video on making a simple fluid condenser.

    Since my birthday occurred while we were in Boston last week, we postponed celebrating. On Saturday, we went out to a diner, spent a nice day at home, and then got takeout from my favorite Indian restaurant.

    I did not take a picture of our takeout dinner, but if you close your eyes and picture delicious Chicken Tikka Masala, then you’ll be somewhere in the right ballpark.

    Finally, I shall leave you with this picture of Loki… because cats make everything better.

    Oh, and this picture of me and Selene under a cherry blossom tree in Boston, which just happened to be blooming while we visited.

    That’s all for now. Stay tuned for more soon!

  3. Offering stand and bowl on one of my altars. The Minoans used a huge variety of offering stands, some of which looked remarkably like modern footed cake plates (which is what I'm using here). An offering stand elevates the offering above the rest of the altar, a reminder that once it's given to the gods, an offering is no longer an ordinary substance.

  8. I don't usually wrap presents for myself but this present was intended for someone else. It turns out that they weren't who I thought they were so I kept it for myself.

    The gift was a pair of beautiful candles from #craftandcresent . I had a wonderful night with the moon, candles, and tarot cards. I feel that connection again to my magick and to the universe/earth. Things have been hard lately with my body and the job search and the state of our fucked up president, but I was able to focus on myself instead of what was around me. I'm still bad at acknowledging my feelings, specially when they're intense. Thankful for knowing how to do the work. #TarotReading #magick #altar #candlemagick #wordvomit

    Seggau – Schlossführung, Geschichte, Kunst und Wein: Ein Rundgang durch den steirischen Bischofsitz

    Brigitte hat sich eine Schlossführung in Seggau gewünscht und obwohl ich bereits eine gehabt habe, haben wir die Tour nochmals gemacht. Es war eine relativ große Gruppe, aber die Schlossführerin hat uns Seggau souverän nähergebracht.Die Geschichte beginnt nicht erst im Mittelalter, denn schon die Kelten und die Römer wussten, wie strategisch gut dieser Hügel liegt.

    Richtig los ging es […]
