Blog postSaturn's been in Sagittarius (my sun sign) since late 2014 and it has SO not been fun. As the year winds down and my time with the stern taskmaster planet is coming to an end (December 19. Party. My place.), I've been reflecting on the following, repeating messages: And this one... And my all time favorite... Guess where I am???

Blog post"The journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back and all turns to silver glass. And then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise." J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King On Facebook I posted that I started out 2016 with an adventure.

Blog postZecora's a zebra, not a pony And a witch, extraordinary. And she always talks in rhyme. Look--she does it all the time: Apple Bloom: What'cha got goin' on there? Zecora: I am brewing up another mix for a rooster and his chicks. It seems the rooster has lost his crow, making mornings very slow. Apple Bloom: Hey, I've seen that flower bloomin' in Ponyville. What is it? Zecora: It is one7 years ago Read more

Blog postSo while I've been doing the A to Z challenge WRITING has been my primary activity, namely, polishing and repolishing the manuscript for Mapping the Magic. This has been said by many other writers in many other forums, but I'll add my voice too. Writing is not an easy thing to do, at least, it isn't for me... There are days when I really love what I'm doing, and when I read what I've7 years ago Read more

Blog postOK, so tomorrow is Earth Day and I wanted to do something for Earth Day but *couldn't* think of anything to do with ponies and Earth Day *together* that is also linked by a word that starts with *S*.

Blog postThis year I've spent the better part of the A to Z challenge in a state of this: It has more to do with my working on several manuscripts and a presentation while trying to make up blog posts on the fly. I admit it: I bit off a bit more than I could chew. Then, something happened over the last few days when I stopped trying to do long interpretive posts and started playing with pictures and7 years ago Read more

Blog post...didn't she say this challenge thing was going to be about doing readings with MLP gaming cards? Yeah.... she DID say that! Perhaps it's just easier for her to post pictures of us, and, well, looking for pictures of ME on the internet is rather entertaining! Well isn't THAT a big 'ole jug a'cider!

Blog postM is a marvelous letter. Why? BECAUSE I AM HALF WAY THROUGH THE A TO Z CHALLENGE AND I MADE ALL THE POSTS--so far... Seriously, I'm not complaining. But let's just say that life's been a bit of a whirlwind of late: So today's post is a bit of self-expression with a little help from my girl, Rarity. Better out than in, right?

Blog postYeeeeeeehaaaaw! Let's start this shindig with a song: Nothing defines "Kinfolk" like the Apple family. In divination, there are elements of kinfolk to be found, no matter what oracle you use. These are symbols that are related to each other, and they have a special message when they appear together in a reading.

Blog postAh, Hearts and Hooves Day... the MLP equivalent of Valentines: Image by Ouran-Nekozawa via Deviant Art But if you're dealing with Divination, Hearts and Hooves would rank right up there with The Lovers card of the Tarot.

Blog postTime for a bit of randomness, but only because it's the letter "G" and it fits...

Blog postYes, I'm flip-flopping, just a bit, to my original vision for this theme--which is exploring the possible meanings of certain aspects of Equestria if they were used for Divination readings. Why, you ask? This second time 'round the A to Z Challenge is a different experience for me.
