Want to cast a spell of democracy? Vote. Witches Work Come on come on, all my Witches Get into my kitchen, there’s work to be done We gotta bubble up this cauldron, here in my kitchen And bubble up some trouble for the foolish ones Come on come on, all my Witches What are the […]
I was born a harp for the One Mind Never have I wanted more – or less From Iowa’s womb was I birthed In rich black earth was I planted to grow tall and strong Soundbox, pillar, and harmonic cuve carved, shaped and smoothed by delicate and loving fingers But my tuning pegs were hammered […]
I’m a wildly spiritual seeker who eschews all organized religions. I tried on a few of the mainstream Christian religions when I was younger, and found them all problematic in their own ways. If a sect was logical, rational, sensible, based in reality, focused on kindness and being charitable and living in the most Christ-like […]
I’ve been thinking about mythology and folk music and how intertwined they really are. Define folk music, you say. Yes, that’s reasonable. My definition of folk music is anything that actually about someone’s life: love, work, dreams, kids, home, family, connectedness to others, to nature, to whatever passes for God, loss, pain, fear, pride, trauma, […]
Ryan Rumery, g Alma Drake, Miss Christine. Hey, Frienily, it’s recovery day, after the recording, but I thought I’d take a minute (or a few) to let you know how it all went. First of all, I think this is the record I’ve been wanting to make my whole life. The grooves were sick. The pocket […]

Friends, let me say it again: We Create Our Own Reality. I made those words really big so you can’t miss them. Yes, we do, and the reality that is “out there” responds to what we think and believe “in here.” I remember 2016, seeing millions of Pepe the Frog memes, thinking, there’s something harsh […]
A dear friend passed away last week, someone I had known since elementary school. It hit me pretty hard. We were close in a weird way – we hadn’t seen each other in decades, but he found me on social media a few years back and we became good friends again. He reminded me that […]
As is not unusual, I had no idea what to write about for this week’s post, so I asked the Tarot, because why not? Two of Swords, Seven of Wands, Ruler (King) of Cups.* Interesting. The Two of Swords is a card that typically advises the querent to withdraw, isolate, call a truce — but […]
