Today’s prompt is apparition which is a fancy word for ghost, so let’s talk about them! I’m afraid of ghosts. I am also afraid of saying I’m afraid of ghosts in case it makes the ghosts mad and begin to haunt me. But I am also afraid that if I say I’m not afraid of …
I try to pull a tarot card everyday, today would have been my mom’s birthday. Things collided and were written about. I’ve written before about my tarot cards, the connection I feel from them and the guidance I get. I know it might not really be a spiritual connection, even though it’s what I like …
Kelley Armstrong is one of my favourite Canadian authors. I’m constantly amazed at her range of work as well as how many books and genres she has written across in her career.

I used to hate Valentine’s Day, and I still don’t particularly enjoy it. It’s just such an incredibly commercialized holiday that people put so much emphasis on. ,But maybe I just feel this way because I’ve never actually celebrated it with someone, or because I’ve never been in a relationship.
Whenever I start thinking of a story, it usually begins with a witch. Sometimes she’s a young girl learning about her powers, other times she’s a coven leader trying to understand the signs that have been plaguing her, recently it’s been a girl who’s had witchiness thrust upon her as she’s trying to figure out …
Content Warning: In this blog post I talk about the portrayal of abortion in old movies and the lack of portrayal in recent movies. If this subject is troubling or bothering to you in any way, it may not be something you want to read.
I realized today that since I promised to write a weekly blog post, I unwittingly promised to write fifty-two (technically fifty-three, you got two posts the first week of January you lucky ducks) blog posts.
