Things that capture my curiosity: Pagan scholarship, women’s life writing/ life storytelling, arts-based research, folklore, trauma studies and holistic healing, photography, cheese, and wandering.

After a (very) long and (very) winding road, Dear Mr. Smallwood is almost here! I can't wait to finally meet this book in print in a few weeks.
Drawing on one of the province’s richest archival treasures, the letters written to J.R. Smallwood, contributors unearth the hopes, dreams, discontents, and desires of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians at the time of Confederation.
Coming mid-November @

Packing books this week feels a bit like wandering around on a journey. Picking up some books feels like meeting an old friend, the kind of friend you say “let’s get coffee someday, I’d love to catch up” and you mean it.

It was an honour to present at the Virtual Symposium of Pagan Thought and Practice. Every presenter offered thought provoking questions and strategies for surviving perilous times. I asked the question: how do we care for each other in community.

Perhaps belonging is alchemy. An ongoing speculation of self. A magical process of creation of one’s true self.
This reflection is from a presentation I gave at the @labrc.bsky.social Alchemy Conf. last year. Thinking about layers, reimagining words, reimagining worlds.

Imagining fog through found poetry.
“Spectral encounters
intimacy
within we become
lost.”
Thinking about my getting lost in the woods of Newfoundland. Inspired by @oceanleaving.bsky.social “Weather: Fog Trouble” in Autoethnography & Theory at the Water’s Edge.
A book I return from over & over.

Was so good to catch up with my mentor @storiedselves.bsky.social today to talk about writing projects. I’m envisioning myself wandering in the fog more than 100 years ago, as my gg- aunt did when she was lost in the woods of Newfoundland. Inspired and ready to get writing.
