Bully for you
Less than. Greater than. Social hierarchy, and the need to boost oneself by putting others down. ‘Put downs’, ‘taking the piss’, and other forms of trying to make people feel worse, so as to feel some power and status – at least for a moment. Bullying. That is why I started writing. The end point

Rude!
Monday morning, 28 December, in holiday mode with three kids: Phone rings: Do you do the tarot cards? Sylvie: Yes I do Her: Do you do anything else? Sylvie: Yes. Runes, Palmistry, that sort of thing. *this segues into my usual intro…* Her: So you’re not psychic…? Sylvie: I’m empathic and intuitive, but where people
Time is of the Essence
My time is precious. As I’m sure is yours. If you purchase some of that time, you will pay $ 70 per hour. Flat rate. Non-negotiable. Because that’s what its value is to me. I too have friends and family and work commitments and home commitments, ad infinitum. If I agree to make time to

Academic Witchcraft and other idiocies

Archaeologists, Anthropologists, Religious Studies academics, Gender Politics professionals, Historians, all the information gatherers and decipherers. This is a good and valuable thing. Fashions change of course. What was accepted knowledge in these areas changes over time
Work Life Balance…
Just a wee bit crappy. Maybe a wee bit sicky. Certainly tired. Just crappy enough to know that seeing a Suzuki Swift just irritates me. Nothing wrong with the car, but the people who choose to buy them seem to be the same people who just need a kick up the backside in general. Temper
Sit a Spell
Seriously considering charging for Spellcraft. It’s not about anyone I’m currently working with. (Don’t get paranoid.) But I do need to make this decision moving forward. I have never charged for Spellwork – or Tarot for that matter. But I do charge for my TIME. Which is why my rates have gone up significantly in
