Get your rushes ready.
Tomorrow is St. Brigid and Imbolc too.

This years crosses look slightely better than my first ones last year.

Hopefully spring will come soon.

Enjoy your weekend.

German: Anmerkung für meine deutschen Leser. Das Brigids Cross hat keine Verbindung zum Hakenkreuz und ist in Irland ein fester religiöser Bestandteil.

Wer mich kennt, weiß, dass ich bekennender Antifaschist bin.

Pentium with Windows 95… Weekly Recap 1/26/2026

The first computer I can remember my family owning was probably some sort of Pentium processor running Windows 95.

It was a dull grey box. I couldn’t find a picture of anything that was quite dull enough, so you’ll just have to use your imagination. Instead of standing upright, we had it laying horizontally. It had both 5.25-inch and 3.5-inch floppy drives.

I can remember rebooting to MS-DOS so that I could load games. It’s funny because I was still probably struggling to learn how to spell words, but I could at least wrap my head around those commands.

Good morning and happy Monday, friends!

• New Book Review: The Key to the True Kabbalah by Franz Bardon

To start off, here’s a picture of Loki. His physics defy natural law.

Those are his back paws, by the way. I’m not sure what he did with the front ones. He’s tricksy like that.

By popular demand, I have reviewed Franz Bardon’s third book, The Key to the True Kabbalah. This now completes the entire series.

On Friday, Selene and I got some sushi. Sushi Friday is becoming a tradition… or perhaps it’s just a temporary addiction. But for now, we’re quite enjoying it.

I can say—hands down—the best sushi place we’ve been to in Florida so far has been Sushi Yama in Wellington. And it’s all you can eat!

Friday night was also coven night. We had a fun class on Qabalah.

On Saturday, we got Pho. I haven’t had Pho is years. And the verdict?

It was awful. Seriously. I really wanted to like it. I tried my hardest. I don’t know if it was a bad restaurant, a bad day, or if I just don’t like pho. According to their reviews, it was supposed to be good. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best pho restaurant around West Palm Beach, FL?

I have also continued to make Brigid’s Crosses because apparently everyone wants one for Imbolc! Honestly, that’s pretty cool.

Yes. I had to combine several of them to create the ultimate version.

If you’re feeling bored today, you can listen to my ramble on Eimi OstaraMoon’s podcast: Fancy AF.

Aside from all of the usual things, I’m trying to make mental space to map out my workshop for Turning the Tide this weekend, but it’s going to be REALLY COLD, so I think I’m kind of blocking the thoughts at the moment.

My head is as full of runes as it is full of network topologies and server practices. My classes are really, really ramping up and it’s consuming my brain.

Right, well, I’ve got to go watch some lectures. And, you know… finish a book or something.

Stay tuned for more soon!

Kind of amazing that my photo is featured in this article on Let's Learn Irish. I don't know Irish, I've never been to Ireland, I don't even have any Irish heritage. Such is the prevalence and influence of Irish culture, not to mention the power of #CreativeCommons! I'm honored, flattered even.
