Hey, y'all! Here are the tarot horoscopes for the Autumn Equinox of 2023! With our usual format, we used the Beautiful Creatures tarot by J R Rivera and Jasmine Beckett-Griffith and the Halloween Oracle by Stacey Demarco. Best of luck in all your endeavors for the Mabon season, and I'll have more readings for you at Samhain!

Hey, y'all! Here is the final vlog from my backlog, all finished and ready! This was Myth and Magic weekend, right after Thanksgiving, at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival last year, and as you can see, it rained worse than hell. Areas I've never seen flood before were under several inches of water. All of it was gone by the time I checked in for cast the following morning, but it's no less impressive. I've seen some posts this year regarding drainage improvements, so here's hoping they're better prepared moving forward!

Hey, y'all! This vlog is about a year old now, but it's the penultimate in my backlog from the last two years. As titled, we drove over 14 hours to get to Des Moines, Iowa from Baton Rouge to spend Labor Day weekend at a new (to us) festival! We had a lot of fun, with beautiful weather, and we would love to come up this way again sometime! Hopefully, we'll be able to take some time traveling from festival to festival in the future.

Hey, y'all! Though it be old, it be no less exciting. Here is a vlog from our visit to the Texas Renaissance Festival in the autumn of 2021. I forget which weekend we specifically visited- Celtic, maybe? -but we had as much fun as usual at these festivals. Note to self: pack more blankets and earplugs next time.

Hey, y'all! My friends and I spent a weekend in Gulf Shores, AL (US) at the end of July, and here is the vlog from the trip! I do wish I had more footage to share, but I'll chalk it up to being too focused on having a good time. I can't wait to do this again!

Hey, y'all! Here is Part 6 of making Alyce Pestle's garb. We finished the look with a fully lined floor-length hooded linen cloak, which came in SUPER clutch on cold, misty, or rainy days at Festival! I'm so happy with this piece, and I can't wait to show you the complete look in the GRWM vlog. I just need to rebuild a couple of pieces first. Stay tuned for more Animal Crossing!

Hey, y'all! Happy Lughnasadh! Here are the 12 western zodiac horoscope readings for the season of Lammas, beginning with Leo and ending with Cancer. For these readings, I've used the Modern Witch Tarot from Lisa Sterle and the Isis Oracle from Alana Fairchild. You may find the chapters below. Lughnasadh, or Lammas, marks the first harvest of the year. Thus, it symbolizes the transition from the work and waiting of the earlier year into the work of reaping. Now is the season when we begin to see our reward. Fruit, grain, and hedgehogs are common symbols of this season- you can hear more in my Lughnasadh Wreath video.

Hey, y'all! Here is Part 5 of making Alyce Pestle which is all about the tie-on pockets, the apron, and the St. Birgitte Cap. All three of these pieces were made out of the same linen I used for the shift from Burnley & Trowbridge. The pockets and cap were drafted by myself (with help from videos on YouTube from Bernadette Banner and Morgan Donner), and the apron was from Butterick pattern 5509. We have one piece left from the original construction process: the full-length hooded cloak! Stay tuned!

Happy Solstice, y'all! On this, the first day of Summer, I bring you guidance from the tarot and runes. May you find what you need to overcome all of the season's obstacles, and my Midsummer grant you warmth, light, and comfort to persevere!

Hey, y'all! Here is the part in which we finish Alyce's shift or smock. The shift, with a few variations under a few different names, was the quintessential and ubiquitous undergarment for men and women throughout most of the Western world's known history. In women's dress, it wouldn't see a decline in use until the creation of combinations in the 1870s. I'm very proud of my first piece of historic garb, and I'm excited to share the rest of this journey with you! What was your first historic garb? Reference used for this version of the shift: https://reconstructinghistory.com/blogs/blog/your-first-garb-the-chemise I used white shift or shirt linen from Burnley & Trowbridge for this piece.

She's here! I lovingly present the first installment of the Alyce Pestle costume build.

Hey, y'all! Here is the last day of our 2021 trip, which mostly shows some Disney Springs strolling and the flights home. I honestly didn't realize how little I had filmed of this day until I was editing the footage, and I'm especially sad about it since I also lost my favorite pair of sunglasses- which I had worn for the *entire* trip- on this last day. I had them for both flights, but they seemingly never made it back to my house. :( All that said, thank you for your patience as I got these edited and posted, and thank you for watching the series! There will be more Disney content very soon! In the mean time, let me know what your favorite part of the series was in the comments, and stay tuned for the Alyce Pestle build (possibly after Pirates of the Ponchartrain).

Hey, y'all! We took a day from our Disney trip in 2021 to pop over to Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios. Mom, Chris, and I had a lovely time walking around and shopping on this day, and I made a visit to the Riviera pool when we got back to the resort. The day made for a shorter video, but it was still a great one. Stay tuned for Day 7: our trip home! Portals to Other Realms: https://linktr.ee/alirien The full 2021 Disney World Experience:
