Dee Nickerson @dEEN1cKers0n painting I’ve posted her work a lot over the eight years I’ve been here. Goodness she’s practically family. I love her work and the clothes she paints for her ladies …. Her birds are especially good and deserve a mention.

In Norway and Sweden we traditionally eat 'lussekatter', saffron buns with raisins, on Lucia Day. The yellow of the saffron symbolizes the return of the light. I made these lussekatter yesterday, like I do every year, and I wish I could share them with all of you :)

It’s amazing to see how Western media have suddenly rediscovered that torture is evil, after ignoring systematic torture, rape and murder in Israeli prisons for the past year.

I'm not sure which Pagan Law or Heathen Lore I broke today, but I ate Christmas pudding on this day, December 13, 22 days early. I am waiting for Balder to smite me, or the Lord of Misrule to order me to run through the village with no trousers on.
