HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE!
Added 2021-12-22 18:13:59 +0000 UTCI returned early from Sedona since I want and need to move from where I've been living and so I didn't take time to make a medicine table but I did light a candle on the money jar I created/activiated after receiving the book Your Intuition Led You Here, using their 3-day ritual that involves rice or oats, your choice, cloves, basil leaf, molasses, 2 white votive candles, a green candle and 21 dimes : )
This is the first time I've ever did a "spell" from anyone's book of recipes, but the jar sitting atop my turquoise bookshelf of art books is reflecting a deep green from the candlelight and the green self-portrait (Self-Portrait with Mud) that hangs above it, with the Solstice crystals I added around it.
I got so much writing done in Sedona. I turned in my essays to the Italian publisher Iperborea for the Europa Editions The Passenger series, so The Passenger: California will be coming out in February. Also, while in Sedona, I received the great news that W.W. Norton will be publishing a story from my collection Glow in the Dark in a fiction anthology coming out in 2023. The Norton editor and my hardcover publisher, Cune Press (Bloomsbury published the paperback and my 2 novels) reached out to regarding the story permission & payment, and Cune offered that we do another book together, so I am coming into the new year feeling great about work, and so very grateful to you for accompanying me through this year that I would never have felt as supported or as high or as blessed without you.
LOVE!
