I will tolerate any treatment.

Like I watch tv sometimes, and I'll put up with anything.

I'll watch an episode of some garbage CW show---

You know, I don't wanna name an actual show so let's just make one up; let's call it "Supernatural."

So I'll watch an episode of "Supernatural" and I'll show up on my couch and I'll go, "Can I have some decent character development and emotion that makes sense, please?"

And they go, "No. It's Buckleming."

And I go, "Okaaay!"

And then I go to the bathroom.

And then I come out of the bathroom and I go, "Any updates?"

And they go "Yeah, we killed off our third main character in the most controversial way possible, and then killed off his apparent love interest two episodes later, while you were scrolling through Tumblr. Because we hate you. Now take this promo pic with Castiel on it and hopeful messages from the cast to make you excited about the finale, go, fetch!"

And I go, "Okaaay!" and I go over to Andrew Dabb and go, "Can I have a decent ending, please?" and he goes "NO!"

And I go, "Okaaay!"

And he goes, "You"re a little Destiel clown, aren't you?"

And I go, "Nooo," and he goes, "SAY IT!" and I go, “I'm a little Destiel clown."

And then I go over to the Supernatural Writers' Room, which is an oxymoron, and I go, "Can I please an actual plot line for this finale instead of just montages?" and they go "No! In fact, we're gonna make this the worst episode since Bugs, and you're gonna be shamed for liking this show for thirty years!"

And I go, "Why are you doing this to me?!"

And they go, "Because we're CW Supernatural, and life is a fucking nightmare!"

Crescent Cookies 🌙

I’ve been wanting to use some magick since the last time I almost burned down my kitchen so here we go.

Baking or cooking magick is wonderful way for witches in the broom closet to create and discretely practice.

TBH this recipe went haywire so I randomly threw some more stuff in oops.

What you’ll need

For cookies

2-2 1/4 cups of all purpose flour

2 sticks of softened salted butter (add 1/4 a pinch of salt if you don’t have salted butter)

3/4 cups of sugar

2 tablespoons of milk

1/2 cup of chopped almonds

Pinch of Cinnamon

For icing (optional)

3/4 cups of powdered sudar

1 tablespoon of milk

A dash of vanilla extract

Recipe

Beat the butter until fluffy, then add sugar. Best until combined

Add almonds, cinnamon and 2 cups of flour, mix until combined

The mix should be crumbly and not a dough yet. Slowly add milk until dough consistency.

Use the rest of the flour for your hands and break off pieces to form crescent shapes

Place on cookie sheet and cook for 15 minutes.

In another bowl mix together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract. Add more powdered sugar or milk for desired consistency.

Allow cookies to cool then dip into frosting while still warm.

Random notes

You can light candles in your kitchen, cleanse your space before cooking or add anything that you find fit.

I left some of these cookies on my alter and brought some to a friends party, this was the first time I successfully baked some I’m pretty proud.

I wish everyone a blessed new year ~

How to Set Up An Altar for Imbolc 🕯️

Imbolc is a call to appreciate the stark beauty of this season. The falling snow, the warm comfort of a cup of tea, and the bright lights of candles are all things I associate with Imbolc.

Like all other sabbats, I like to decorate my fireplace mantle as an altar so that I can appreciate the holiday. I like to start by laying down a simple altar cloth. The colors I associate with Imbolc are white, red, and green so I try to incorporate these colors for my altar set up.

Imbolc is traditionally a festival to honour Brigid, a celtic goddess associated with fire and the hearth. Her presence was such an integral part of rural communities that Christian missionaries could not stop people from honoring her. Instead, Bridget was woven into the Cathloc church as St. Bridget and today many pagans and Catholics alike celebrate her at this time of year.

One of the most popular activities for Imbolc is making a Brigid’s cross out of reeds or grasses. Living in the city, I didn’t have easy access to green reeds so I made some Bridget crosses out of simple pipe cleaners. This is a really easy craft and if you have kids it would be a great way to introduce them to this Pagan holiday.

The term Imboc comes from Imbolg meaning ‘in the belly’. Thus, this time of year is associated with pregnancy and the reawakening of the earth. At this time we welcome the growth of the returning light and witness the earliest stirrings of rebirth. I love lighting lots of candles for my Imbolc altar to symbolize the light reawakening in the world.

Traditionally, festivals honoring Brigid occurred at the beginning of the lambing season. For me, Paganism is all about reconnecting with the land and our agricultural roots, which can sometimes be tricky for me since I live in the city. So, for a simple snack while I work on my altar I got some Sheep’s milk cheese to honor this lambing season.

As Imbolc represents the earliest return of life any type of Spring flower or new growth would be a great element to add to an altar. We don’t have any new plant life yet here in Chicago so I just picked up a simple bouquet of baby’s breath to use for my altar this year.

Lastly, I like to add some tarot cards to my altar that remind me of this particular season. The Empress is a great card to use as she can represent the fertility of the earth. I’m also going to use two Aces - The Ace of Pentacles can represent the earliest stages of new plant and animal life and the Ace of Wands can represent the beginning of a new fiery energy in the world.

I made a Google Sheet/ Website with all of the Star Trek shows and movies with how long it would take to watch everything:

All episode times were sourced from the IMDB page for each episode. All times for movies were also sourced from IMDB. I plan on updating the individual series/ season once all episodes have been released therefore also updating the times of both that individual series and the total Trek run time.

If you see any errors or something I have missed please let me know. This was a project all one by just one individual, me.

Thank you.
