Who likes a good witchy story? Well, I've got a few good stories in this book, nonfiction historical accounts. Includes the story of Mary Oneida Toups, the Witch queen of New Orleans in the 70s, and a few of the great Voudou queens as well! #booksky creolemoon.com/collections/...

From 1907, when Indiana passed the first forced-sterilization law, into the 1970s, U.S. eugenics policy targeted disabled, poor, Black, Indigenous, immigrant, and unfit people. Backed by courts and states, it sterilized more than 60,000 Americans in the name of better breeding. #UShistory #eugenics
I love seeing my work turned into memes by fans. It truly is pretty dang cool. I'm not even I upset about the typo in the credit. The book was first published independently 20 years ago before I was picked up by a big publisher. 😃❤️🪄
I actually have really good editors for Voodoo for Dummies. Functioning as editor for another editor has got to be challenging. I can be somehow without even realizing it. I am mindful of this relationship dynamic so I don't come off as a knowitallbiotch when I really am grateful for her help.
Backstory: In March, he ended his reelection bid after admitting an affair with staffer Regina Santos-Aviles, who died by suicide in September 2025. New explicit texts to another staffer surfaced last week, fueling bipartisan calls for expulsion. He now plans to serve out his term.
I've got new growth on this yucca after a week of personal care. I'm so happy!🪄
They're messing with our beautiful blue #Arizona skies really bad. Even told us to stay unside today due to particulate matter polution. 🔪🤔🪄
Just got back from a hike and on the way back looky who my son almost stepped on! Chei yazh or little grandfather, when we see them they are a blessing. We pick them up, say a prayer, and you can make a wish, put a little corn pollen on their back, and let them carry the blessings across the land.🪄
Given we've been in a drought for 30 years, I am turning to indigenous methods for fixing this shit for my land. It will take a long time. Or will it? I am going to every plant and blessing it. I started yesterday. This yucca is already responding with two blooms coming up! I almost didn't notice.🥰🪄
We have been living in a drought for 30 years! 30 years and yet the government has been allowing the Saudis to siphon our water, and now data centers, and now they want to redirect the Colorado river away from us to other states that need water. Make it make sense. This is what my land looks like.
They moved fast to erase César Chávez: statues down, memorials removed, street names changed. Immediate action. Yet the 🍊🤡 credibly accused of predatory behavior is so emboldened he pats his female secret service agent on the ass without flinching on TV. Sexual assault in real time. 👁
While some of my best sellers are my social commentary candles, I've got others that speak to the same goal by taking a bit of a different route. 🪄 #magicalbazaar #candles #creolemoon creolemoon.com/collections/...
