I started a new tradition for my youngest two kids, who are 10 and 13 (Jeyoani, too, and whatever other of my kids happens to be at my house :)). The night before I go back to work after the holidays, we will continue each year to do three things that we did for the first time [...]

I limped around tightlipped through the months it took me to find a job in another city and disappear. I took a bus to that city and spoke to no one, signed the papers that made me a low-level government clerk, and wound up sitting in a motel room eating peanut butter sandwiches so I [...]

Carla Emery as a young woman
I’ve been thinking about the women in my life who have most deeply influenced me (besides my mother, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, relatives by blood, all of whom have so deeply influenced me and who have given me so much). One of these women was Carla Emery, who died [...]

I posted a different Youtube of Sinead O’Connor singing this song a while ago, but I came across this one recently and it is such a good video! So inspiring, to me anyway. It’s a woman warrior song, a call to arms.
This is what Sinead says of this song:
This song, [...]

Above is a video interview of Shekinah Mountainwater, a beautiful, wonderful woman. She was interviewed July 9, 2007, and died a little over a month later, on August 12, 2007, of breast cancer. I’m reading her book Ariadne’s Thread at the moment and am enjoying it so, so much. Like so many [...]

The kids and I went to the local fabric store yesterday. I am making my youngest, Maggie, a Halloween costume this year. She’s going to be the character Gir from the cartoon series “Invader Zim.” So, I am making her this costume.

How thrilled was I to find Word of Incantation on Youtube! I’ve been looking for it periodically for years, because I’ve really wanted to share it here. Like this song, Word of Incantation is a runosong, ancient traditional Finnish oral poetry set to music. It is the music of my women ancestors. Tellu has created or sung with several incredible [...]
