Cygnet Honey

Heptu Bidding Farewell To The City Of Obb by John Duncan ✸ An Interview With Roxanne Carter by David Hoenigman from Word Riot I have long admired Roxanne’s work from afar, and this one question interview only solidifies the notion I have of what an excellent person she is. One day, I hope we shall [...]

Maraschino Honey

★ This interview with Patti Smith in Japan just rocks my world. She is so raw, and unafraid – totally unfiltered, totally high. This world needs more role models like her. “I might be 31 years old, but I’ve just begun.” She is forever my hero. ★ This incredible interview with Sleazy is prefaced by [...]

Vultures + Persimmons

Yesterday afternoon, we made the journey over hill and dale on the first of our familial holiday pilgrimages. I hear all the time complaints about the lack of seasons in Texas, and our pitiful lack of autumn – untrue, I say! The oaks are wearing russet cloaks, the sumacs scarlet, and the fields are molten [...]

The J.B. Blunk Residency

Back in September, when I was visiting San Francisco, I had the opportunity to experience a very magical place, high up in the green hills of Inverness: The J.B. Blunk Residency, which is sort of a secluded zen fairy cabin-haven for craftsfolk and artists, and all sorts of interesting people. We had the luck to [...]

The Museum of Ephemerata – Underground

We recently took a trip deep into the bowels of the earth to visit our dear friends Scott and Jen Webel at their amazing new exhibit of cthonic mysteries. I remember back when I was still living in New Orleans, someone told me about this strange museum that had opened up in East Austin. While [...]

Mermaid Corpseflower Honey

✸ One of my favorite films ever, I Am Dina, is available for your viewing pleasure on Hulu right now, and though it’s not the ideal medium to watch something so incredibly beautiful and powerful – it’s free! Also, I’m not sure that this film is at all available widely (I had to order my [...]

Peachtree Moon

It’s been a strange and heavy time for me lately, fraught with unforeseen changes, and deep transformation. In times like these, I tend to retreat inward, and am prone to hermiting and becoming protective of my silence, my space to think and ponder whatever may be next. Hanging around in my chrysalis, swaddled in silk-net [...]

Summer Solstice – Poppytime

I haven’t written about our garden in a little while, possibly because I’ve been too busy enjoying working in it, and getting my hands dirty to remember to photograph all the transformations. Poppytime has passed now, and it’s a pity! I had never been able to get them going properly until I figured out to [...]

Poisoned Honey on Blackout Beach

(Paintings by Myrtle Von Damitz III , a New Orleans artist and amazing lady. Her work is prophetic, and speaks to me about what the elemental spirits might be whispering about what we are doing.) Tonight, my grandfather, my sweetheart and I went to eat oysters. We wanted to taste the last fruits of the [...]

Magic Windows #12

Hooray, it’s Magic Windows time! It’s been the most gorgeous, luscious spring here – the last few days have been stormy and sullen (in a really enticing way!) Normally, I’m not a fan of gray and gloomy weather, but the rain has made it okay for me to stay in and write during the day [...]
