Yesterday, as I mentioned, I got an email asking me about book suggestions. This turned out to be a surprisingly good motivator to get something done I’d been meaning to do for several months, which was to actually write up commentary on books I’d generally recommend.
There are four pages:
- Book Suggestions talks about how I approach the whole process. Go read it first.
- Books: Introductory Works highlights the intro books I think are generally solid starting points (but read more than one! Read many! You get better perspective that way.)
- Books with more details covers those books that go deeper into a particular topic.
- Other books worth reading includes those books which have other specific merits (and includes relevant fiction.)
I’ve added these links to the index page, as well.
Mostly cosmetic:
Index:
I’ve created an index of posts that I’d like to keep easy access to - just use the Index link at the top of the page. These include a couple of series (like the seeker series), but also posts that are either popular or have gotten links from other places. I plan to update this about once a month - but if you see other posts you think deserve some highlighting, please let me know.
House rules:
Nothing here that should be unusual or a surprise, but getting into writing (not just in my head) seemed like a good idea. I’d rather be clear and not have any concerns than not be clear, y’know?
… or at least lets you see family. As you might have gathered from a few posts back, I’m off to visit family and friends on the East Coast for the holidays (my mom, my brother and his family, and then college friends and my oldest friend - we’ve been friends since 2nd grade - at the end of the trip.)
What I won’t have, though, is much computer access. I’ll be back on the 30th, and have a couple of posts in the works, so expect to see something over New Year’s.
One thing that fascinates me in talking to other witches, Pagans, and people of similar interests, is what it actually means to our day to day lives. As part of that, I want to periodically share a day in my life, to let people get a feel for what my time actually looks like, and what choices I make.
Bear in mind when you read this that I’m single and live alone: a lot of my ‘home’ time is totally on my own schedule. On the other hand, nothing gets clean, the snow doesn’t get shovelled, and I don’t eat if I don’t do the work.
I’m will include some ‘light’ days, and some ‘heavy’ days (depending on my schedule), but we all know I’m more likely to talk about the somewhat interesting ones rather than the tediously boring ones, right?
You can find all the daily life posts by checking out the ‘day in the life’ category over on the sidebar.
(aren’t all websites?)
Working on getting things up and running here. [edited to remove some content that's no longer true about the theme].
There will also be actual content forthcoming.
