The other day I was over at my hangout These Unquiet Things, when up crept a new post featuring Mlle Ghoul's Hexmas List. It reminded me that I'd yet to put one together... But I wanted to do something a bit different from what I usually created. So, I decided to turn my attention towards… Continue reading Yuletide At Wyrd Words & Effigies : THE VVITCH GIFT LIST
