Dear readers,

I have an exciting new offering in the wool of my distaff for you. I am still forming the shape, still setting the twist, of how I will offer it and what I will call it, of the rhythm and frequency and some of the hues and ingredients.

What I can tell you today is that it will involve live storytelling, with my hands touching the pulse of the ways of Mother Goose—spinning, birthing, bird-languaged fairytales— and that this live storytelling will occur on either the new or the full moon each month.

Please stay tuned for the official announcement in the next month!

For today, I leave you with a taste of the Neolithic Bird-Goddess, the ancestress of Mother Goose herself.
