Sophie the Swamp Witch is a well-known character in children's literature. She is a powerful and mysterious witch who lives deep in the heart of a vast and murky swamp. With her long, tangled hair, crooked nose, and tattered black robes, Sophie is the epitome of a classic witch. Despite her intimidating appearance, Sophie is actually quite friendly and helpful. She has a deep knowledge of nature and magic, using her skills to protect and restore the delicate ecosystem of the swamp. She has a special connection with the creatures that live there, from the mischievous frogs to the wise old herons.
Although the most commonly used Full Moon names are English interpretations of Native American names, some are also Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, medieval English, and Neo-Pagan.
Today, we use many of these ancient month names as Full Moon names, and many of them come from the Colonial Americans adopting Native American names into their calendars. We can show how the First Quarter Moon spends much less time over the horizon in the Northern Hemisphere than the Third Quarter Moon by looking at our moonrise and moonset data for New York City in September and October 2023 in the table below.
She has a special connection with the creatures that live there, from the mischievous frogs to the wise old herons. Sophie is known for her unique blend of potions and spells, which she uses to heal sick animals, create potions for fellow witches, and even brew up magical remedies for humans who stumble upon her humble abode. Her concoctions are said to possess incredible powers, able to cure rare diseases and grant wishes to those in need.

I mainly switched from using large candle to tea lights in my practice.
Today, I looked at my small altar place for Aphrodite on my desk and She told me, "I want pink tea lights."
And I found some almost immediately in an online shop.
Well, there you go. Give the deities what they want. If you can. 😀
By the way, I do have another altar space for Her, full of jewelry, flowers, perfume and other nice things. She likes it that way. 😊

Last Christmas I missed dinner because I was self-isolating from a high-risk exposure. I enjoyed it so much, this year I chose to stay home. The expectations around the holidays shouldn’t include forcing people to put themselves in environments that cause harm. Choosing me this year has been so empowering.
Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah to this new little community. I hope you choose you in 2023 ✨

This is extra funny to me because I've been having a variety of conversations with a few folks around holiday greetings and such. So today a friend, who isn't even in these conversations, by sheer coincidence (maybe?) sent this to me.

The last few weeks have been kind of nutty/chaotic and I haven't been online a ton.
The week prior to Thanksgiving I had a bad head cold while my husband was in Sedona, AZ. He tested positive for covid after his return, which means he was sequestered in our main bedroom for about a week and I was sleeping in the office/guest bedroom. I managed to avoid catching it.
However, we had rented an airbnb in Washington with friends for Thanksgiving that we had to cancel. Fortunately, they let us reschedule for over Christmas.
2nd However, my husband's grandmother passed away last week, so he flew to NYC this past weekend for the funeral. He's supposed to fly back tomorrow, and then we drive up to WA for or rescheduled airbnb stay with our friends.
3rd However, we have a winter storm warming. A big ice storm is supposed to be hitting tomorrow afternoon about the time his flight is scheduled to arrive. We're hoping his flight will still be okay, but even if it is, it's unclear how things will be for driving north. We were told we wouldn't be able to cancel or refund this time, so if we can't go we might just have to forfeit the money.
I'm not flipping out or super stressed. It is what it is. But it has made things chaotic.
There is also an astronomical reason why the Full Moon closest to the autumnal equinox is called the Harvest Moon.
Living in isolation, Sophie finds solace in her swamp home. She spends her days tending to her garden of rare herbs and flowers, collecting ingredients for her spells, and interacting with the creatures that call the swamp their home. Her understanding and respect for the natural world have earned her the admiration of many, despite her association with witchcraft. Rumors and legends surround Sophie, but those who have encountered her know her true nature. She may live in a swamp, but her heart is filled with kindness and compassion. Sophie the Swamp Witch is a reminder that appearances can be deceiving and that even the most mysterious individuals can have a caring and loving spirit underneath..
Reviews for "The Intriguing Life of Sophie Tye, the Enigmatic Swamp Witch"
1. Jane - 2/5
I really wanted to like "Sophie the Swamp Witch" as I enjoy fantasy novels, but unfortunately, this book fell short for me. The characters were underdeveloped, and I struggled to connect with any of them. The plot felt disjointed and lacked depth, making it difficult to stay engaged in the story. Additionally, I found several grammatical errors throughout the book, which further distracted me from the already weak narrative. Overall, "Sophie the Swamp Witch" was a disappointment and not a book I would recommend.
2. Mark - 1/5
I couldn't finish "Sophie the Swamp Witch" as I found it incredibly boring and poorly written. The pacing was slow, and the story lacked any sense of excitement or intrigue. The dialogue was stiff and unnatural, making it hard to believe in the characters' interactions. Additionally, the world-building was lacking, leaving me with many unanswered questions and a sense of confusion. I was hoping for a captivating tale of magic, but unfortunately, "Sophie the Swamp Witch" failed to deliver.
3. Sarah - 3/5
While "Sophie the Swamp Witch" had potential, it ultimately didn't live up to my expectations. The concept of a swamp witch and her adventures sounded intriguing, but the execution fell flat. The writing style was simplistic, making it feel more suitable for a young audience than a broader readership. The character development was minimal, and the plot lacked depth. However, I must admit that the book had charming illustrations, which added some visual appeal. Overall, "Sophie the Swamp Witch" may be better suited for younger readers who are beginning to explore the fantasy genre.
