Everything Out There is In Here Too

Last updated on: August 29, 2014 at 6:52 am By Jenya T. Beachy

All of these things are *out there* and also *in here*. Every problem I see in the world, I see in myself. It’s tempting to turn toward my “personal work” and stare at my bellybutton until I don’t find any of those aspects in me anymore, but meanwhile, the problems go on in the outside world. Read more

Homemade Hummus and a Warm Welcome Home

Last updated on: August 26, 2014 at 1:56 pm By Jenya T. Beachy

I just returned from my 3 week trip to the UK and Ireland on Saturday night and, while it was wonderful to go adventuring, I’m really happy to be home. There are a lot of food related differences between here and there. What we call french fries are there called “chips” and what we call chips, they call “crisps”. Not too hard to get used to. Other things that surprised me were: “bacon” is more a very thin ham steak,... Read more

the Traveling Homestead #1

Last updated on: August 6, 2014 at 10:37 am By Jenya T. Beachy

There is so much to do and see in this wondrous world! So many different kinds of beauty are quietly existing for their own sweet sakes, and sometimes we are just in the right frame of mind to really immerse ourselves. The simplest thing is fascinating when it is unfamiliar. Read more

Your life isn’t made of what you are hurrying toward…

Last updated on: July 28, 2014 at 2:01 pm By Jenya T. Beachy

I have a big, fat, awesome trip to the UK beginning tomorrow and I've been full of planning and worrying and preemptive homesickness. My daughter's been at Oxford for a month now and I'll be meeting up with her at my student's home in Sheffield for a few days of fun and juju before traipsing off to sample a whole wide assortment of across-the-pond goodness. I'm going to miss my beloved husband, my dogs, my chickens and trees. My dirt. And all that thinking/feeling is landing me squarely in The Future. Read more

A Puzzle of Infinite Pieces

Last updated on: July 23, 2014 at 11:55 am By Jenya T. Beachy

As humans in our human world, there are pieces of the puzzle that we will never connect with. There are powers that cannot be mediated into the world of refrigerators and books; those who remember us before the planting of crops, when we struggled to survive on what was given us. At some point, if we need to, possibly we can find them again. Possibly, out of pity, they will help us. Read more

A New Birthday Candle Ritual (now with extra juju!)

Last updated on: July 21, 2014 at 12:18 pm By Jenya T. Beachy

Later in life, our clan learned a little something about actual magick. We learned that candles can hold prayers and that Fire is a great energizer and transformer. This made the old birthday candle ritual a little weak, as far as real juju goes, so we came up with a new idea. Read more

A Recipe for Fruits and Nuts

Last updated on: July 16, 2014 at 2:12 pm By Jenya T. Beachy

The *good* solution was to make something at home that would serve the same purpose: to keep a person from starving to death when they’re not being thoughtful enough to make an actual meal. But if we are going the homemade route, this recipe should be able to respond to changing conditions, i.e. whatever’s available at the time of making. It should be perfectly good in its simplest form, but also able to be dressed up for company. You know, like the little black dress of nutrition bars. Read more

Homemade Ginger Beer. World’s Greatest Beverage?

Last updated on: July 10, 2014 at 1:07 pm By Jenya T. Beachy

Everybody has some consumable they are a connoisseur for. Some folks know all the different names of the heirloom tomatoes and which are best for sauce vs. sandwiches. Others will have 8 kinds of olive oil in their pantry, one for every occasion. Then of course, there’s chocolate and cheese and vinegar and wine, all simply thrilling to those whose passions are ignited by these pleasures. My husband is a Vosges (look it up) guy. My daughter loves her Harrod’s teas. ... Read more
