I'd love to give you a copy! Also I have a lot of random gear if you want to borrow anything
if you're a woman yearning for a soft, submissive life and are constantly grooming your man to be a dominant provider for your needs...bestie I have some news for you...

Yesterday a witch told me that the Samhain portal is actually open until Wednesday so if you still feel weird that’s why.
Also the government.
Very excited to see the first Samhain issue from Inglenook Lit. If you are craving to read - or write - surreal, witchy, divine, gutting, dreamy, magical stories, please check them out.
