Posting in the hope my fellow academics have an answer to this. I'm thinking about writing an autoethnographic article of interest to Pagan and folklore of belief scholars. Can you think of a suitable journal for such an article? I know about Pomegranate, but I'm wondering what else is out there.

This month's photos were all taken while I was earning a Sail Canada sailing qualification two years ago. This one captured the shoreline reflected in the water. #animism #thisismychurch #sailing

Wrapping the Curse chapter in The Storyteller's Guide to Folklore today, which means the Folk Narrative and Folk Belief chapters are done. Tomorrow, I'll start the Folk Life chapters, which means I can see the finish line in the distance. Twelve chapters down and five to go, plus the conclusion.

Last night, I got a royalty payment for a story I wrote eighteen years ago titled "Akhila, Divided." It was in the first Clockwork Phoenix anthology, and I've gotten periodic royalties for it over the years. How cool is it that my story is still hangin' out with its friends, making money?

I just wanted to reach out and say to anyone who needs to hear it: You're not too old. It's not too late. Success comes when it comes. Keep reaching. You've got this. Also, if you've offered me kindness on my own path, thank you. I'm here, in part, because of that kindness.

Wishing you all a Blessed Lughnasadh. I've been under the weather with a throat infection but felt well enough this morning to go for a walk with Sean and Maddy at Dalem Lake. We encountered this charming little fairy door along the trail; a bit of folklore in the wild!

Taken at Hvammsvík hot springs. I told my AirBnB host in #Iceland that I wondered why Icelanders didn't have a national hour of weeping every morning at the beauty of the nature they steward. Please, let us make certain to respect their sacred home when we visit. #animism #thisismychurch

A final look at Thingvellir National Park. This is the path to and from Öxarárfoss. There are too few paths to joy in this world, but I think this might be one of them. #animism #thisismychurch

The House of Hope sequence in Baldur's Gate was the most fun I've had playing a video game in *years,* and yes, there's plenty of folklore in it! In particular, I loved the boudoir scene, in which I am tempted by a succubus. #BG3 #baldursgate3 #folkloristics www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk2A...

Öxarárfoss in Thingvellir National Park. I was here ten years ago with Sean but returned on my recent trip to #Iceland. There is a beautiful deck now for visitors, so I sat beside the falls a long time, watching the water flow over the cliff. #animism #thisismychurch
