Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

Ok bear with me as I whine and bitch a little.  First, this last week was …somethin’! It started off great with the Spookapalooza Halloween Radio Event at 12Radio.com .  Tuesday was Halloween, of course, and I don’t know what overcame me, but I dressed as Medusa and sat outside (covered in OFF) to greet the candy goblins.  By mid-week I was feeling pretty great, despite the break out that my Medusa make up and menopause left me with.  Thursday must have been fine because I don’t have anything to say about her. But Friday…well.  I had a repairman scheduled. If you follow me on Instagram, you know how this story goes. But I’ll summarize.   Around 11:45 my daughter texted me that there were rumors of a gun on campus. Lots of kids were “beefing” (which, if you don’t know, means people arguing, being mad, etc.  It’s a term I’ve made peace with, but it makes me giggle) and there had been a bunch of fights. This is not typical for my daughters High School. S...

Greetings, Bitches…or maybe I should substitute with the word “Witches” for this week.  *witchy laugh*  Blessed Samhain, Happy Halloween, and Feliz Dia De Los Muertos.  It’s the latter that I really enjoy getting into, to be honest.  I am fascinated by genealogy and family lineage. I’m fortunate in that I can trace one of our family lines all the way back to Robert the Bruce, 1st King of Scotland. I am descended from a number of Scottish Clan Chiefs, including Hector the Red, “Lachlan the Hairy”, and many others. I am descended from the Plantagenets, Tudors, Stuarts, the Valois, and some other pretty interesting historical names. Alas, no one has mailed me my crown…yet.  But even just in pulling up the info to type this, it is SO easy for me to go down a rabbit hole because I love this family information!  So on Dia De Los Muertos, I channel 3% “Aztec and Indigenous Americas” DNA, and set up an ancestor alter. I put up some favorite pictures, and gawk in am...

  Well alrighty…we have another eclipse, Bitches!  This week we have a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on Halloween Weekend! This is the final eclipse in the Taurus Scorpio series which has tested our sense of security and how we manage our resources. We are graduating to the next set of eclipses, which is already in session. Lunar Eclipses are like super-juiced Full Moons.  They scrub off stuff that we need to let go of.  If you can release and let go willingly, it is usually a lot less upsetting and jarring. It is a time of endings and completions, and this is a final nudge to get your shit together where Taurus is..so don’t be surprised when you’re surprised. Haha.   The eclipse happens Saturday, but you might start feeling it earlier in the week.    The Sun moves into Scorpio on Monday, and you’re bound to feel that shift. I think the shift from Libra to Scorpio is one of the most  pronounced of the year. This week, in addition to this Eclipse, there...
