Vintage Friday: Dreaming of a Blue Christmas

On this Saint Nicholas Day, I am thinking about old times. An azure tree with sparkling blue lights remains one of my favorite childhood Christmas memories. My mother ran a restaurant in a small town, and we lived in rooms behind the business. At that point my sister had married and my brother sailed the… Continue reading Vintage Friday: Dreaming of a Blue Christmas

Vintage Friday: Mystery Pecan Pie

This week we have a vintage pie recipe from the 1964 Pillsbury Bake-Off Cookbook, Mystery Pecan Pie. Actually, the pie boasts two mysteries. One involves a secret ingredient that you wouldn’t expect to find in a pecan pie– none other than my son’s favorite: a cheesecake layer! The second mystery is that the pie is one of… Continue reading Vintage Friday: Mystery Pecan Pie

Tree Spirits

Are you one of those, like me, who sees faces everywhere, especially in hedgerows and trees? Psychologists call it pareidolia. Some believe the faces to be spirits of another dimension, their energies bleeding through to ours. Mythology brims with tree spirits. One of the best known is Daphne, beloved of Apollo, who transformed herself into a laurel tree to escape… Continue reading Tree Spirits

Grim

A grim is a haunting spirit. In adjective form the word means dreary or gloomy, but its Old English definition of fierce, cruel, or savage denoted a harsher tone. In my Wytchfae series, the Grims are ghosts that did not move on to an afterlife. Instead, they hung around earth too long, becoming unmoored from their memories and higher spiritual selves. As a result the… Continue reading Grim
