Following the Muse

Winter isn’t my favorite season. I don’t hate it – I love the beauty of all the seasons, and I do appreciate living in a climate where the changes are so dramatic. But to be honest, when it’s really cold and wet and snowy, I understand the appeal of hibernation. I used to feel guilty […]

Starcat’s Ten Best Books of 2010

As promised on the latest episode of the PawedCats Podcast, here is my list of the ten best books I read in 2010. These are my favorites out of the 57 books I read this year. Please note, these aren’t necessarily books that came out in 2010, just my favorites of the ones I read. […]

A New Book Wish List

Last year I posted a book wish list, just for fun. An online friend recently mentioned that her son’s holiday wish list was divided into two sections, books and not-books, and that reminded me to look back at my list. I’d posted it in early December, forgotten about it, and was pleasantly surprised when my […]

Starcat’s Top 13 Spirituality Booklist

As most of you know, I’m an avid reader and self-described bookworm. I love books of many types. But once in a while, a book comes along that just totally sweeps me off my feet. I am reading one right now (see number 13 on the list below), and it sparked the idea for this […]

Quantum Metaphysics

Quester came up with a saying that he wants to have made into a bumper sticker: “Now that science has proven that magick works, I’d like an apology.” The particular science he refers to here is the non-linear behavior of photons in quantum mechanics. I’ve been studying the intersection between the discoveries of quantum physics […]

Blog Renovation Thoughts

I’m going to be doing some updates to this blog pretty soon. First, I’m moving it over to live on the Feline Dreamers website, as part of the redesign and updates we’re doing there. As part of that process, I thought I’d update the look of the blog and also add some different types of […]

Inner Journey

BlackLion and I are embarked on a journey through a book called The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse: A Breakthrough Program for Connecting with Your Soul’s Deepest Purpose by Debbie Ford. So far, so good. Day 1 included meditation, journal writing, and making collages. That works for me! It seems like it will be an interesting way […]

Drumming at the Edge of Winter

Last night BlackLion and I drummed for a Pagan benefit performance honoring the Winter Solstice, called “The Longest Night.” The performances, which were excellent, consisted of dramatic readings of prose and poetry, storytelling, dancing and a sing-along. As Feline Drummers, we drummed before the official start of the show and during the intermission. I had […]

A Book Wish List

Over at Fall Down to Fly, Miranda posted her holiday wish list. Being a deluxe bookworm, I was inspired to post my book wish list. Not that I’m asking you to do anything about it. It’s just for fun – and also a good way for me to keep track of what to order when […]

Seasonal Favorites

It’s time for another “fours list.” I’m not sure why my blog lists seem to come out in fours. They just do. So, here are some of my holiday favorites: Movies:White Christmas. The traditional music, the eye-catching costumes, and the charming plot are what keeps me watching it over and over. And the young Bing […]
