I got so wrapped up in the dealing with the hurricane, working on getting ready for ShadowHarvest this weekend and dealing with life in general that I nearly missed today's post.
Today's post is going to be about my hunny. Elijah, is a wonderful partner and friend. Tomorrow is our 10 year wedding anniversary. Over the years he's probably the most talented person I've ever met.
First he's an amazing chef. He makes bread from scratch. He bakes me brownies, without a box! I know right!! I was amazed. He even makes me Curry and Korma!

He's a wonderful artist. I have several tattoos from him.

He built my Hecate Altar, including a triple Goddess carving at the top!

After ten years you'd think I'd be out of surprises from him, but NO NO NO this last week I've learned that he has two other very special talents.
First he can make braided hemp necklaces. WHAT? Yes you heard me. Look!

After all these years he still surprises and inspires me. I adore him.

Thanks so much for giving me ten wonderful years and for being my final Talented Tuesday.
Over the last few months I've found some wonderful new friends. And some pretty talented ones. For Talented Tuesday I've decided to introduce Saga's Cottage to you. Loren Morris is an amazing artist and an all around great person.
As many of you know I'm a follower of Hecate. I've found some amazing stuff in Loren's shop. Here are a few examples.
Loren has several other pieces there that are just amazing. Head over there and have a look at her amazing work. As I mentioned I met Loren as part of the Samhain's Sirens Blog Extravaganza. We've teamed up together to do a giveaway around the Goddess Hecate.
Head over to the blog to see just what goodies we have in store for you today!!
This week’s Talented Tuesday takes us to the deep blue
sea. Being a water sign (Piscean) I've always
felt a connection with the water. I've been told if I were any more Piscean I’d be an actual fish. I hate water in my face but I love being
around it, hearing it and seeing it.
One of the most interesting people I've met since opening myself
up to the local Pagan Community is the lovely Mermaid Morrigan (Cindy Rhodes).

One of her new songs, called The Fellowship of the Crow, she
wrote for her special friends of Morrigan.
She can be found adding comments and
sharing her thoughts on a Pagan Education Group called the The Fellowship of the Crow.
Playing her hand hammered Dulcimer, Persephone; Mermaid
Morrigan is available for events and has an amazing CD ready for order. I had the awesome chance to see her at this
year’s Central NC Pagan Pride Days.
Looking for a wonderful sound to enchant your realm, the
sound of the Dulcimer is amazing. Want
an amazing lady to be part of your day, reach out to Mermaid Morrigan. She’s full of charm, wit and an incredible
energy that will light your life.
For today’s Talented Tuesday I give you, The Mermaid
Morrigan. One of my favorites, Mermaids Garden.
Good morning everyone!! As day two rolls around and I'm ready to start my NaBloWriMo entry for Talented Tuesday. Talented Tuesday will include anything that I find really cool about people who are really talented. It maybe books, music or anything else that I think takes talent.
Today I'm going to start with music. Music soothes the savage beast, and helps keep my bipolar in check. I'm able to get work done, and even get a little creative myself provided I have had enough sleep. The issue with that is that like most biploar people my brain goes and goes and goes. I have to find things to help me calm down.
In January of this year my hubby had emergency surgery and the whole deal with my mother started. I was going 900 miles an hour. After attending a book signing with Blake Blair Octavian for his works in the 2012 Witch's Companion, we continued our daily coffee chats. I was soon introduced to Gwain Nighthawk, musician and husband to Blake. and we all three began chatting away. Gwain and Blake are wonderful people. They are people I do indeed call my friends. We've spent hours chatting online and was thrilled to have them visit me at Central NC Pagan Pride Days at the Sosanna's Closet tent.
I've been to several events where Blake and Gwain have preformed and they are amazing. Earlier this year they released a CD called Canyon Storm. The day I got the cd I uploaded it to my iTunes and put it on my ipod. It's been playing me to sleep for months now. I adore this CD. Due much encouragement, chats and hearing the lovely music on this CD I've even started to play myself. I got the Sparrowhawk in A from High Spirits. My net purchase will be from Tree of Life Designs. Ed has some really lovely flutes there and he's local.
I've shared a few of my practices on YouTube, but instead of you hearing me mess around with this thing, why not hear the professionals.
So today for my Talented Tuesday I'm going to feature Blake, Gwain and their amazing cd Canyon Storm. You can grab a copy on their website, facebook pages and at CDBaby.
