All her life my mother spent hours a day cooking for her family and friends, and of course holiday meals received extra time and attention. It’s amazing how generously giving she was and how talented at putting together a feast. Thank you, Mama, for all you did for us. At our southern home in 1961… Continue reading Vintage Friday: New Year’s Feast 1961

Torchy Tuesday: Dark Guardian Eshigel
For this Torchy Tuesday I can’t resist showcasing Epona’s eternal lover Eshigel, dark Guardian of the Between. His domain might be dim and uninviting except for the fact that he is there! He and Epona have both traversed the fires of hell for each another, and neither one is about to let go now.
Mythic Monday: Do You Burn Your Yule Log?
Yule is a sacred winter festival honored and celebrated by ancient Germanic peoples, including Nordic cultures and the Anglo-Saxons.

Vintage Friday: Old Fashioned Plum Pudding
As the nursery rhyme goes, Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, eating his Christmas pie. He put in his thumb, and pulled out a plum, and said, “What a good boy am I!” I’m thinking Jack delved into the mincemeat pie or plum pudding, both traditionally made with suet.
