Review of The Best of Enemies Bright Blessings, Film Lovers! At age 47, I thought I had seen it all when it came to movies. The last thing that was a completely new idea that I have seen is The Human Centipede, which, yes, I loved it and also parts 2 and 3. A film I watched today showed me that I have not seen it all and I can’t express how happy I am about that. Watching the film about the ex KKK leader and a black civil rights leader and how they teamed up to fight segregation was something completely new to me. It earned…

Tarot with Lady Saoirse
Lughnasadh 2023 Bright Blessings! If you are reading this column, chances are, you have been to a psychic reader before, or you are looking into going soon. Some people do a regularly scheduled reading with a trusted reader to have good guidance for their decision making on a regular basis, and other people see readers whenever they feel like they should. Some people say the worst time to see a reader is when you are in the middle of a crisis or emotional meltdown, but sometimes, those are the times you need the support of a psychic most. Regardless of when or why you are seeing a psychic, there…

Review of High on the Hog I started watching a docuseries last night and I cried so hard, my chest still hurts today. I can’t wait to watch the rest of it.

A trailer for this amazing show is here: As a white person, I can…

Tarot with Lady Saoirse
Tarot with Lady Saoirse Litha 2023 Bright Blessings! In the last article, I had some tips for reading tarot, and how talent is required. No matter how much you read and how many classes you take, if you are not intuitive, doing psychic readings is not something you will excel at. So that brings us to a question then. How do you get a tarot reading from somebody else? You would think all you had to do is pick a random reader, then pay them, and everything else would be perfect. Sometimes, it works out that way, but sometimes it doesn’t. There are a lot of reasons that…

A Memorial – Interview with Lord Shadow by Lady Saoirse
Bright Blessings. I have mentioned my Priest in more than one article for PaganPagesOrg. I have talked about things he has told me, rituals we have done together, and our relationship. For those who have not read, I will tell you a bit. We have become as family to one another. Lord Shadow is basically my Dad/Priest/Friend, as he refers to himself. I met him through a friend of his who I was studying chaos magic with when I was a new witch. Lord Shadow and I hit it off, and I was told a lot about his experience, wisdom, and expertise from more than one person. When I decided…

My Name is Mo’Nique Bright Blessings, film and tv watchers! I am reviewing something that had me in tears in ways I never expected. I have not been a fan of this individual simply because I watched this individual raise holy hell about things regularly, and I considered them to be a bucket of rage and a bitter individual who quite frankly seemed like a negative individual who I just would not want to be in the room with. And that was my opinion of Mo’Nique and I was wrong. However, I’m not stupid. I have watched her as a fashion icon, and am aware that the older she…
