Yes, Winter Solstice will be upon us soon and there is as always an intense amount of things to be done. These past few months have passed by so quickly and in light of that, I’m trying to get ready for the solstice as best I can.
Soon, I’ll start posting on Pagan crafts, decorations and all things in accordance with winter. There may even be a snazzier and easier to navigate site design coming …
Posts have been sparse lately and I know that. Life has been an interesting and full journey this past year. I do check the visits and comments and am going to work more on keeping things updated here and keeping in contact with those who contact me.
Thank you all for your comments. Thank you for reading my fledging posts here at Simple Abnormality.

Channel 3 NBC news affiliate WSAV serving the Savannah, GA and Hilton Head, SC areas did what most news channels do come the Halloween season. They allow a “human interest” reporter to find a witch and do an interview for a brief filler of Halloween news. Now, granted as the years have passed there have been some good, if not shallow reporting and interviews with witches but on the general scale the people they chose to interview are local New Age shop owners who are not well informed on the history of their individual paths. When a reporter does come across a well informed and astute witch the norm is to cut the piece for tidbits on what the reporter thinks their news audience will accept in the way of actual information. …read full article…

Today is Veteran’s Day. In 1919 President Wilson proclaimed that November 11th of every year would become Armistice Day. It wasn’t until 1938 that the holiday would become a legally recognized holiday from an act that was passed by Congress of that year to include the observances of honor for American veterans of all wars and not just that of World War I and thereby renaming the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day.
Now, I do not support the Bush Administration’s war agenda in any way but I do support and honor those who are in our military. I may not agree on the issues that caused so many of our citizens to be overseas nor to be in a global war on terror but what I agree with and do not agree with does change the facts or the reality of the situation that our soldiers are living with on a day-to-day basis.
The soldiers out there in field right now, may not be cut of the same cloth as those that have gone before them because they are not fighting for what those who have gone before them have fought for but they are our fellow country men and women. They are sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and friends. They have pledged their lives for this time period to being soldiers, to being the warriors out there in world in a situation that they did not have a choice in.
Together, we can bring the rest of our troops home and save the lives of innocent civilians in their homelands as well as our own people by ending the Bush Administration’s Wars and ensuring that no more wars are created.
