Madgic, Spirit Marriage, not cancer, and Honk

[lb_lee]

 Quick life update because we have a deadline and need to stay quiet:

• Mori has a rough draft of Madgic: a sanity and sorcery zine printed. Her goal is to have it out for MICE in two weeks, so she's on a five spot illos per day regimen to get it done (plus writing edits). It's not as bad as it sounds; many of the illos are small and simple. This will be her first solo title; wish her luck!
•  We found a book that just came out this year: Spirit Marriage: Intimate Relationships with Otherworldly Beings, by Megan Rose. I have gotten hooked on it; it takes a liberation spirituality stance of spirit marriage as giving power and freedom to the oppressed, by a woman in a spirit marriage herself. Part 1 covers spirit marriage in historical tradition and myth around the world, Part 2 interviews ten present-day practitioners about their spirit marriages today, and Part 3 covers guides for having a spirit marriage. Only thirty pages in, will see how it goes. Also, Rose separates her footnotes from her citations, which is a mercy.
• We will be having minor surgery soon to make sure we don't have cancer. We highly likely do not, but there was a disaster medical case a while back involving this, so we need minor surgery before major surgery.
• As is traditional, we went to Honk and we brought sinistmer  with us to draw the performers. She took a photo of a dancer dressed as a skeleton who was part of the Chilean band. A lot of fun. May post sketches, but will have to wait.
