Mun and Blòt curled up on the back of my reading chair.

Cat in the hats
Mun asleep barely noticed when I set up the Russian hats for this photo.
Mun and Blòt investigate Bee
Early days of Bee coming inside and sleeping on the bed, so Blòt and Mun are investigating. Bee’s so happy about that.
Mars having breakfast in the morning at her camp
This is where Mars would hang out on rainy and cold days, before she was willing to come inside. I set up a banana box with a blanket so she’d have some place comfy to hang out.
Cat territory
This is cat territory. Three of the five library cats, and two of three house cats hanging out just now. In order from left to right are Muninn, Mars, Huginn, Ereshkigal, and Bee.
Bee’s eyes
Early days of Bee coming inside, with her soulful and striking brown eyes.
Surrounded by cats while reading
I just got up from reading surrounded by cats to take this photo. Resh and Blòt curled up on the ottomans, Ginny behind my head, and Mun on the other chair.
Mars in the living room
Mars started to hang out in the living room. She really doesn’t like other cats getting too close, and growls if they do. But, she really likes being inside if she’s got a little space.
Bee sleeping near me
Bee finally started coming out of the bedroom, and made it as far as a chair next to where I sit while at the computer.
Ranga hanging out
Rangadanga in the window.
Orca in a carrier to get catstrated
Little boy Ka is confused by what’s going on, but he was quite well behaved getting into the carrier. This was after his first ever night inside. Library cat Ranga is trying to figure out how to bust the cute boy outta jail.
Bee
Early days of Bee coming inside through the window to sleep on the bed.
Blòt has gotten big!
Little baby Blòt has suddenly gotten to be as big as Muninn, the largest of the library cats.
Mars
Early days of Mars coming inside through the window to sleep on the bed.
Zines and Comics and Anthologies, oh my!
I thought I’d post a round up on my personal blog of a few things I’ve been doing, so you can check them out if you’re not following along with my other projects elsewhere. Of course, all but the first are things you could purchase as gifts for yourself or others, and you’d be helping to support the creation of more things like these. Just sayin’.
Back in May, I posted the first Reader’s Theatre for Hermetic Library.
In June, I released the first ever Hermetic Library Zine. Each zine is a wild and wooly whatever of occultura and esoterrata compiled together, generally related to Hermetic Library’s overall mission of archiving, engaging and encouraging the living Western Esoteric Tradition, Hermeticism, and Aleister Crowley’s Thelema.
Back in October, I released BENT BROKEN BEAUTIFUL, from the Odd Order Anthology Project. This was the first ever release from the project, has 14 tracks by 13 artists, all new voices for this inaugural issue.
In November, over at the library I released two things: a collected volume of comics from Inktober and the second issue of the zine.
Finally, on the 20th anniversary of the birth of Hermetic Library, on December 3rd, I released an absolute monster issue of Magick, Music and Ritual 12, with 45 tracks by 41 artists.
As a final note, consider helping me create a Firm Foundation for the Work and the Fun!
• Create a basic income and happy cats
• Make magick
• Join adventures in geekery
Bee sneaking some tea
For some reason Bee keeps sneaking drinks of my tea.
Orca
Orca is now inside, having been neutered, and is adjusting quite well! (With a white blur of Blòt in the background.)

Cats in the window
Huginn, Muninn, and Blót hanging out in the kitchen window, where the wood stove is providing extra heat, this morning.
