Don’t know what I’m talking about?

Market Collective runs tomorrow from 11-5 with many more artists on stage, not to mention all kinds of artisan’s tables and installations. If you’re in the neighbourhood, check it out!

Today marks 20 years since I was called to serve the Goddess, since I named myself Witch and took my place amongst those reclaiming, remembering and revisioning a new world into being.

In that spirit, I make the following poetry offering to Brigid on her sacred day, as part of the Seventh Annual Brigid Poetry Festival. The words are a scrap of poetry by Sappho, translated by Anne Carson. Blessed Be!

stars around the beautiful moon
hide back their luminous form
whenever all full she shines
on the earth

      

        silvery

One of my newest excitements is Pinterest:

Pinterest allows users to create boards (based on themes like “Books” “Food and Drink” and “My Style”) and “pin” links/images to them from online sites. Users can also follow each others’ boards (a great way to find people whose style matches your own) and comment on individual pins. Users can also created shared boards to post pins together.

I’m hoping to use Pinterest to keep track of projects (crafts, recipes, etc.) and to connect with similar style folks. It’s a very visual record-keeping tool, and I can see opportunities for work: planning event together, for example, would be very different if people could share from where they are. Feel free to take a look at my Pinterest account (http://pinterest.com/trasiewitch/) and if you need an invite let me know.
