Snow White OR The Rose and the Glass

So...

May I present: Part One of my erotic re-telling of Snow White.

Warnings: Well, it's erotica, so it's clearly not work-safe. As mentioned before, it involves some wierd family dinamics. If sorta-kinda-inscest (step mother) in a fictional setting creeps you out, you may wish to skip this.
Oh, and all the sex is gay (f). But that's less of a deal (and pretty typical of my smut).

Feel free to nit-pick as you will. I'm hoping to get a good heaping dose of constructive criticism for this one. Please? :-) Note: It's written very floridly. I did it on purpose, cause I think it works with the baroque setting (Early 1700s, Bavaria), but also because I just really like flowery prose, even if I can't stand Anne Rice anymore, so please bear with me if that style doesn't work for you. (I hope it does, though. :-)

Oh. Also note: It's about 8.5 pages long. So you need a bit of time on your hands. :-)

Enjoy! :-D

So? Feedback please? (I'm like a crack-addict for that stuff, I tell you). :-)

BPAL Madness, Part II

My BPAL order came today! Whee! :-D

In addition to the six imps I ordered (O, Blood, Queen of Sheba, Dragon's Milk, Eden, & Wrath) the Lab also kindly sent me a freebee imp of Bastet. Conveniently, it was on my wish-list, so woohoo! :-)


I've only tried one so far, so here is my review for ( Blood. )

It's pushing 7:30pm now, and the scent is completely *gone*.

Which means it's the perfect time to try another one... Let's see...

( In the Bottle )

Right then.

( On the right wrist, is O. )

Oh, well. :-D
Dragon's Milk it is. ( Bring on the burnt rubber. )

( I'm gonna try layering... Bastet over what's left of the O. )

Definitely like O and Blood! :-D
Woohoo! :-D


Anyway. That leaves the following three to try:

Queen of Sheba: Honey, almonds, and spices.
Eden: Fig leaf, fig fruit, honeyed almond milk, toasted coconut and sandalwood.
AND
Wrath: Dragon’s blood, black pepper, cinnamon & cloves.

I'll sort those out tomorrow. :-)

Cronehood!

So, I was writing a bit about Sam Gill's idea of ritual disillusionment as a way of strengthening/deeping faith and its meaningfulness in one's life, and I ended up writing a bit about disillusionment that occurs in Goddess Spirituality, and I came up with this little tidbit of possibility:


Based on the name Junior_Crone (and the person it applies to), and on testimonials of the three ladies who self-identified as ‘Crones’ at the August Goddess Salon in Ottawa:I

t appears that ‘Crone’ means, in part, freedom from having to take care of children, and also the assumption that you *won’t* be having any children (this from the perspective of people who self-identified as ‘Mothers’, but who had grey hair and were sick of having people assume they were post-menopausal and incapable of having kids and that their having kids would be kind of distasteful).

As such, are childless/childfree GS women sprinting towards Cronehood because it will mean they are safely out of ‘Mother’ territory and into a designation where motherhood is no-longer a defining feature of womanhood? Something like that?


I'd like to hear people's thoughts and comments on this subject. :-)
