Wanna see what I wrote this morning?*Applause* more more!
So, you like it then?Phawwwwwwwww
I fixed those 2 recommendations, thanks upbj for educating me about "warlocks". I chose to exclude any real reference to 'witch' in that line since to call him a witch as he is so obviously witching a witch would be confusing to the uninformed. I'll explain the term warlock after I gather some knowledge about it and can write the definition into the story properly, without interrupting a gratuitous sex scene.my my my my my!
goodness. Champy, you have so many facets. And I am among those waiting eagerly for the next installment. Quite eagerly indeed.
One tiny note, upon an initial skim: male witches are called witches. Warlock is a term which can be loosely translated as "oath-breaker" so a true practitioner of wicca of either gender would never use the term. It was saved for those who broke under torture and betrayed other believers during the Burning Times.
We love it when the 20-year-old trenchcoated posers come into the shop and assure us that they are "trained warlocks."
oh and. There may be alternate spellings, but what I always saw for the holiday in question is "Samhain."
pronounced "SOW-in," or "sah-VEEN" by the really old farts.
frickin' welsh.
blessings, y'all,

I've seen both versions of the spelling of Samhein. I think I cling to the 'ei' version because of my early Teutonic influences (read Germany for 5 years). I bounced it to your 'ai' spelling just so that I have to be really concious of it while editing. I'm sure I'm going to have both spellings crop up and la' I do hate inconsistency.
I didn't write yesterday since I was on the outward journey, nor did I today, since much of my morning was spent in uncomfy meeting rooms and then this afternoon was spent on splashing through disgusting sand and salt induced slush (that froze to my windscreen as soon as I managed to pass whatever semi was throwing it back), on the highway between here and Edmonton. Bleh! Winter driving sucks.
Love you all and I hope the Yule preparations in your neighbourhoods are all going ahead apace.
Thank you, BJ. With all I had going on this month and some surprises that came up, it will be a miracle if I finish 30 in 30 days but I will certainly try. It is a marvelous thread. And it is a pleasure to read the writing people have been putting here. Rock on, Champagne and Arnold.Dora, you are doing some astounding work, as always. I'm so glad you're in here!

of yearning,
this is splendid. Well, I think so, anyway.
