About me
I am a (occasionally doting) wife, a damn proud momma of two adorable and brilliant children, a veteran of the United States Navy, part-time steampunk hausfrau, beach addict, (American) Civil War reenactor and Victorian natural history aficionado, a canoeing fanatic, returned student and semi-erratic blogger.
If you have found this blog, you have also figured out that we are a Pagan family. More aptly, I would describe my theological belief as a pragmatic sort of pantheism and my religion as Unitarian Universalist Pagan...or maybe as a Spiritual Bioregionalist that belongs of a UU congregation. I am a practicing witch and herbalist, mainly working with domestic and elemental magics. For the most part, my blog covers a bit of all of these things, with a bit of randomness tossed in from time to time.
I enjoy my family, swimming, being nerdy, the great outdoors, NCIS re-runs, chai tea--iced or hot, aerobics, trashy romance novels, baking bread, singing off key, surfing the internet and painting. I also like long walks on the beach and NPR's Science Friday. I love to read. I am passionate watershed ecology and local conservation efforts. But most of all...I'm just trying to take extravagant pleasure in the act of being alive.

Why are your candles so teeny tiny?

Lol! They are candles for lighting candles. Instead of burning through 6 or 7 matches to light our menagerie of candles and lanterns, we can reuse the same vesta for about a month before we start a new one. And, they make good birthday and spell candles!

They make these things, called “Lighters” ….

lol, but this is more environmentally friendly and fun! Plus they make good birthday candles, and its less ouchy for kid hands than lighters…
But yeah, that’s about what the hubby says about them. Though, he uses them too, now that he’s stopped smoking and we don’t have lighters floating around anymore!

Fair enough. I think it’s a really neat idea. I’m not a smoker either, but I keep lighters and matches all over my house, because I’m constantly lighting candles and incense, and for camping/BBQ purposes, lighters (or torches) are easier to use.
Plus, in my current house I have a gas stove, so…needless to say, fire gets used a lot!
