And they're all absolutely right! "The Gods Are Bored" is so funny it ought to make its author a millionaire. Barring that, she ought to be able to buy a Big Gulp from 7-11 from time to time!
Will I see you fine folks at the Spoutswoode Fairy Festival? Drumming, dancing, Maypole, revelry. In short, all the rites that please the bored gods!
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."

Dear Anne,
Alas, we're urban witches and our practice is here in D.C. The festival sounds like amazing fun, though.
It's a wonderful blog. DELIGHTFUL writing! Thanks for the tip.
