“So the Cat of the Night with the black, black nose, With the Moon in his chest and the stars on his toes, Was a gift to the Earth, as a sign of great love, From her Silvery Mother in the dark sky above. Poem by Andrew Anderson

Join us live today as Andrew Anderson and I discuss "The Ritual of Writing." and "The Magic of Cats" on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPac... #booksky #pagan #cats #writing #authorinterview

I first read Andrew’s words in Moon Book’s “Weathering the Storm” and found his chapter “Spiritual Journaling in Difficult Times” to be a gift. After reading "The Ritual of Writing" and "The Magic of Cats" that opinion hasn't changed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPac... #booksky #cats #writing #pagan

Luna's resting up, because she wants to be wide awake for Andrew Anderson's visit on Thursday. Why? Because he'll be telling us all about the "Magic of Cats." #booksky #tuxedocats #authorinterview #magic

It's a new week and we have a new guest, Andrew Anderson! "Andrew is the author of four books, The Ritual of Writing (2019), Artio and Artaois (2021), The Magic of Cats (2024) and Herne the Hunter (coming in 2026)." And, of course, more. #booksky #authorinterview #magic #writing #cats

I'm having raspberry jam with tea biscuits, while sipping on my afternoon coffee and looking up global jam consumption statistics. Raspberry jam appears to be a favourite in Sweden. The strawberry smile was an added touch, which has led to me questioning my artitic abilities. 😅 #Fika #Jam

Yay! Rachel Patterson is back this week. We'll be talking about her newest release from Pheonix Flames... "Hedge Witch & The Art of Hedge Riding" Yep, we're shelving doom and gloom and replacing it with broom and bloom. " Let the wild rumpus start!" 🥳 #Books #Witches #AuthorInterviews

Time for the weekend replay! This week I chatted with Ryan, about The Greenwood Tarot, turning possibilities into reality, his experiences with Robin of Sherwood and so much more. #TheGreenwoodTarot #MarkRyan #RobinofSherwood www.youtube.com/watch?v=z803...

Do you remember these? Choose your own adventure books were very popular in the 80’s & 90’s. I picked these up thrifting for the LFL. They're perfect for camping trips, or anywhere without wifi or electricity. #books #nostalgia #gaming

It was so exciting to get my LFL stamp, I had to start stamping books right away. Even Luna pawsed to join in. #LittleFreeLibrary

I wanted to thank Mark Ryan for his visit yesterday. it's always a pleasure to spend time listening to his life experiences and where they've taken him. And where they may take him or us...exploring the possiblities. It was lovely to look into The Mysteries of the Greenwood Tarot, fact and fiction.

Live with MRk Ryan #Transformers #Tarot #BlackSails #KingAuthur www.facebook.com/share/v/1TYu...

We'll be going live with Mark Ryan at 1 p.m. EDT, today! It's a day of decluttering and clearing up some stories, as well as catching up on some others. it's always a adventure with this Merry Man. 🙂 We'd love to see you there, or you can watch later at your convenience.

When you're hot, you're hot.... ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8039ttpPMg

I found the perfect mug for Fika with Vicky while thrifting yesterday. I'm filling it up with lots of cozy for tomorrow's chat with Mark Ryan. 🙂 "Cozy: giving a feeling of comfort, warmth, and relaxation." - Oxford Languages

Here are few projects this week's guest, Mark Ryan, has been involved in. Everything from Tarot Decks to Military Intelligence. There's more, but they will have to wait for the show. A pirate in Black Sails, a robot in Transformers, he's a treasure chest of stories.

Yes! Mark is back this Thursday on Fika with Vicky. We'll be discussing The Mysteries of the Greenwood Tarot, as well as whatever else we get up to. We usually get up to a lot, so grab an extra large and get cozy. We'll be live on YouTube.

Here's yesterday's Fika. Author Ben Stimpson and I talk about "Ancestral Whispers" & "Of Doves & Ravens," making the move from Canada to the U.K.. And then we take off in a whole set of new ideas. Please, enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld96...

Although Authour Rachel Patterson can't make it to Fika today, I wanted to share a photo of the Journey Bag I created from suggestions in her work Hedge Witch. I also add a tarot card that I'm working with, and there's a secret item in the little bag.
