#FediCoven 2026 Q9: Show something worthless but valuable to your practice.

Journaling. It's pure magic for me.

#FediCoven 2026 Q8: What’s a mundane activity that becomes unexpectedly magical or spiritually significant when done attentively?

Making meals, making yourself a pretty coffee, baking, etc. Basically, anything to give yourself fuel and energy. You have to put intention into the things you do. It matters. The same could be said for showers, baths, or skincare routines.

#FediCoven 2026 Q7: What have seasonal changes taught you that books or teachers could not?

I've learned more from nature in general that I ever would have in school when it comes to many subjects. I allow myself to truly feel (and love) the changes during the year, throughout the seasons, and that alone has done a lot for me. Just as we as people change, Mother Earth does as well throughout the year. Change is good. It cleanses and renews.

#FediCoven 2026 Q6: What relationship do you have with the moon and its phases, and how does that show up in your craft?

Ever since I was little, I've always felt connected to the moon. That hasn't changed, nor will it. The moon plays a big part in my practice, as I'm sure it does for many others as well. I usually work my schedule and spells around its phases.

@floofpaldi I love when somebody hits it off with you & we start talking energies, herbs, or spiritual court. Then others join in with their experiences.

What doesn’t work for me when you bring something up that could be better & you’re greeted with apathy. I’ve left circles over this. #Pagan #Paganism #Wicca #Wiccan #Heathen #Fedicoven

#FediCoven 2026 Q5: What helps you feel welcome in a pagan or witchy space? And what doesn't?

A true feeling of "otherness" and a lack of crosses. LOL. In all seriousness, though, just a genuine sense of self, unapologetically and authentically them, so I can get a read on the person, an idea of who they are or what they like, and we all decorate differently. That final part makes things fun.

Just be yourself.

#FediCoven 2026 Q4: How do you identify? (Witch, druid, pagan, shaman, medium, 'all of the above'?)

These days, I generally only use a single word: pagan (because it's simple, easy). Feel free to call me anything you want, though. None of those words bother me. Also, random: I'm a medium, or a clairvoyant, psychic, etc. I even have a paranormal podcast.

#FediCoven 2026 Q3: Are you out of the broom closet?

I was raised in an Irish Catholic family. With that being said, my father practiced his own sort of Paganism, having been close to and dear friends with so many indigenous peoples, and my mother is Wiccan. So, of course, to some family members, I'm out. To others, I'm not. I actually live with my grandmother, my nana, and she thinks I just collect crystals. She also thinks I might be agnostic. It is what it is.

#FediCoven 2026 Q2: What role does self-care play in your practice? Any tips?

Self-care is a huge part of my practice. A major one, actually. We have to take care of ourselves before we can even think of taking care of those around us. No matter what your religion is, that should play a role.

As for tips? Do what's right for your body. Listen to what your body needs. Drink more water. Take your medication if you're reading this and you haven't yet. Every little thing matters.

#FediCoven 2026 Q1: For those who have a form of divination in their practice, does this indicate to you that the universe is predestined or deterministic?

Thank you, @HeliaXyana! :11111:

In some ways, I believe it is. In others, I do believe we forge our own path. You could ask any pagan and they would probably give you a different answer. While I think some things are set in stone, others might be changed.

Even though I'm known as The Minoan Lady, this continues to be my bestselling book. I'm not crazy about most self-help books, so I wrote my own: for ordinary mortals, those of us with less time and energy than we'd like. You don't have to be Wiccan to use the methods I share in it.

Remember, folks, authors are small businesses!

I'm much better known for "the Minoan stuff," but this book continues to be my bestseller. It's the self-help book I wrote because I don't like self-help books. And you don't have to be Wiccan to use it! Be sure to get the updated second edition, with the hands holding a candle on the cover.

It’s not clear to me when I first learned about Wiccan and Hulkling, but when I decided to get back into comics in 2022 for the first time since Marvel’s original Civil War event, I started with the boys. One of the first titles I read was Avengers Children’s Crusade, a story that is founded on Billy’s search for the mother he was cosmically separated from, Wanda Maximoff.

The thing about these two is that they are gay. Sure, Billy is the son (kind of) of the Scarlet Witch and Teddy is the half-Skrull, half-Kree emperor that united two empires, but Billy and Teddy, Wiccan and Hulkling, are Marvel’s young, gay poster boys. Sure, Northstar and Kyle got married long before them in a full issue dedicated to the ceremony, but Billy was introduced to readers as the gay kid. He and Teddy got to be in love together as teenagers, well before they grew up and ruled an empire.

I keep saying this whenever I get the chance, but I only need the MCU to last as long as it takes to get an on-screen kiss between Wiccan and Hulkling. I’ve read a ton of their comics just to find the cute moments where they get to be in love. There’s so much gay romance media in the world now, but something about these two existing in my preferred genre is exhilarating.

And this is why I cried at the latest Agatha trailer.

https://youtu.be/VpyzRNzLwAs?si=CuhXvC_XpLAdFPQK

Joe Locke, who looks a lot like Billy Kaplan, has been cast as “Teen” in Disney’s upcoming Agatha All Along. The things we know about “Teen” are that he’s obsessed with Agatha Harkness and that he’s gay.

“Teen” is Billy Kaplan, the son of Wanda, and by some sort of chaotic magic, he exists in real life and not just Wanda’s Westview fantasy land. In the trailer, Agatha asks him who he is, and as he says his name, his mouth is covered, and his lips are tied together. We don’t hear what he says, but we can guess. He’s Billy. I will be very surprised, and very disappointed, honestly, if he’s not.

I have a bad habit of reading negative comments about the MCU on social media, and something I keep seeing about Joe Locke’s portrayal of Billy amounts to homophobia, of both the standard and internalized varieties. In the trailers, Joe is playing up the camp. He gasps with his hand over his mouth. He falls into a corner screaming. He wears thick, messy eyeliner.

And exactly the people you’d expect are mad about this. They’re upset that “he wasn’t this way in the comics” and they’re mad at “guys who make their sexuality their entire personality.” It’s all recycled bullshit built on misogyny, homophobia, and queer respectability politics.

Joe Locke is pissed about these reactions, too. Variety notes that, just like Billy, Joe has been queer and out since he was a young teen. “You can’t ask for authentic casting and then be upset if you have a camp character,” says Joe.

I love that Joe seems to be playing a campier version of Billy. I love queer people, and I love campy gays. And I love that Joe loves them too.

Also! The show is camp! Who seriously heard “Agatha All Along” and saw Katherine Hahn in that WandaVision reveal and didn’t think it was the gayest thing they’d seen in a Marvel project? This is a coven of witches on practical sets chanting a song written by the couple that wrote “Let It Go”. Patti fucking LuPone is in this show. This show is going to be gay as hell, and Billy must be a part of that if he’s going to be there.

And maybe, in a Young Avengers movie or TV show in a few years, I’ll get to see him kiss his big, green boyfriend.

It's Shameless Promo Thursday, wherein I remind you that I write books that you might be interested in (in an attempt to make a living from my writing).

Today's pick: The Wiccan Wellness Book! (2nd edition)

I've long been skeptical of most self-help books. So I wrote one that's a little different.

* You don't have to be Wiccan, just open to Earth-oriented spirituality
* It's for real people with real problems and not as much time or energy as they'd like.
* Realistic goals, practical hands-on activities, do what you can, when you can
* M/B/S journal, plant partners, wellness rituals, natural healthcare resources
* Imperfect human beings experiencing healing as a sacred journey

Here's that cover I made with Wiccan and Hulking.

I made an inkwash that I later colored on #clipstudiopaint, that technique can be nice but takes me a lot more work than doing lineart and coloring from scratch.
