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.

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.

The circle interests me. It suggests sacred/magical intention, and the bundles look intentional as well. But magical practice is so personal that I would hesitate to ascribe meaning without more context.

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!

Many older books are themselves the only records we have of still older oral traditions, which means we are losing vast amounts of our intangible cultural heritage to the ravenous maw of LLMs. Also, keep your physical books. Buy old books, when possible. Your library is invaluable now.

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

Also at Öxarárfoss in Thingvellir National Park. (See last week's #animism post.) This is where the water flows after it falls over the cliff. #thisismychurch
