2015 was quite a light year when it came to actually buying anything that's really worth talking about. Many months went by when I didn't see much more than the four walls of my bedroom, and treating myself or getting something that I needed rarely even registered in my mind. Hell, I could hardly find… Continue reading My Best Wyrd Buys & Gifts Of 2015

If you see one you like, just click on the image and, like magic, you'll be taken straight to it. I also have two books for sale, The Long… Continue reading Spread Darkness This Yule

I grew up with a lot of Dutch and German friends, and was introduced to the tradition of St Nicholas when I was seven years old.
