It’s good to know what’s out there if you plan on visiting the Appalachian Mountains anytime soon. I think this is one of the most interesting locations as far as myths and legends go. It is rife with mythology and legends of the people indigenous to this area, as well as being filled with the colorful stories of the mostly Scots, Irish, and German settlers. Not to mention, there’s all those first hand accounts of experiences from wide-eyed traumatized travelers.
So grab a cuppa’ and lets dive in…
Several cryptids are said to reside in the Appalachian Mountains, some of which are described in folklore as potentially dangerous or unsettling…

Crystal Clear Enchantments is a living study in cathartics. The oddest thing I’ve noticed about getting old is that all of the sudden memories of something that bothered you at the time pop into your head, and here you may have thought that this was an isolated incident from the past and that it doesn’t matter now.
But your sub-concious mind has other ideas.
Being a writer, I started writing down these memories, along with the feelings that they churned up. And being a writer, I decided that I wasn’t going to just write this stuff down and stick it in a desk drawer. Hell no, I’m going to share it.
At first I was afraid that these experiences and the emotions surrounding them would sound small and petty, and then I thought to myself, what the hell. If these experiences and the emotions that resulted have stayed lodged in my sub-concious brain, they are important to me.
So here you go, the handful of posts that are up at this new blog right now show-casing experiences that have shaped and molded me into the old crone that I am today. There will be more to come, I’m pretty sure. The sub-concious mind is a deep well, and it seems to get deeper with each passing decade.
Read them with patience, empathy, compassion, and understanding.

If you all haven’t noticed, you can no longer play YouTube videos on most other platforms except YouTube, including this blog (Every Cat Has a Tale). When you click on a video, a strange gray screen comes up and it tells you that you have to log in to continue, but I’ve found that there’s no link included to log in. It might just be me. However, when you bring up a blog post containing a video, you’ll see the video sitting there in all it’s glory, as though waiting to be clicked on so it can play. Do this instead…
1. Look in the upper right hand corner of the video, see those three vertical dots? Click on them.
2. The word “Share”, with a rounded arrow will appear. Click on that.
3. A blue highlighted link will come up — Click on that. The video should play.

I’ve used Green Witch Tarot for today’s reading at The Mystic Crone. Lot’s going on here, and also a warning… most of us would be so better off not being tempted to do something that goes against our basic nature, yes, we would. Read on, and enjoy. I hope you make a tarot connection today.

Bilocation, the ability to be in two places at once, is a concept explored within both pagan and other spiritual traditions, often seen as a manifestation of heightened psychic abilities or spiritual connection. While bilocation is sometimes attributed to saints or other figures within specific religious contexts, it also finds a place in pagan spirituality, particularly within practices like shamanism and traditions emphasizing spiritual travel and expanded consciousness.
A bad woman can’t make good applesauce, so an old Ozark myth maintains… Apples appear in myths across various cultures, often symbolizing love, temptation, knowledge, and immortality. In Celtic myth, they are associated with the Otherworld and divine gifts, while in Greek myth, they represent discord and the consequences of temptation. The apple also appears in Norse myth, where they are the source of the gods’ youth.
