Time to go home

It's time to go back home. To see if something is left to save.
Martha's home is in ruin somewhere in the woods. Hope I can find the path again...hope the envious ferns didn't change the road.You know how much they love to make wayfarers go astray.

Taddy e Bin

Ho chiamato la pioggia
perchè non ho avuto il coraggio di chiamare te e mostrarti il mio dolore.
Amica mia adorata mi manchi come mancano le cose belle vissute e perdute.
Non sono piu' arrabbiata con te
ma nn riesco a tornare a casa,nel nostro villaggio medievale ormai in rovina.
Taddy...Bin è una sciocca che chiama la pioggia per farle cantare il tuo nome
.
Ti tengo sempre nel mio cuore amichetta mia ma...fa male.Troppo.

Carrot cake

My new english carrot cake recipe has won the hearts of all my family and has given me a certain reputation as witch confectioner that was an exclusive prerogative of my granny and maybe of my sweet friend Cristiana.
At first it was a bit frustating watching their faces when I was serving the cake ...as if a cake made of carrots and cooked by me (I'm not exactly the perfect housewife...)was some kind of crazy experiment.
However after tasting this marvellous carrot cake they were not only relieved but they asked for a second slice.
GO MEEE!!!!

hey..I'm not so bad...the test is in English and..English is not surely my mother-tongue. :p

I've just planted the pumpkin seeds blessed during the last Candelora...With a little
help from weather we'll have wonderful Jack O'lanterns next Samhain.

For all those who died...

For all those who died-
stripped naked, shaved, shorn.

For all those who screamed
in vain to the Great Goddess
only to have their tongues
ripped out at the root.

For all those who were pricked, racked, broken on the wheel
for the sins of their Inquisitors.

For all those whose beauty
stirred their torturers to fury;
& for all those whose ugliness did the same.

For all those who were neither ugly nor beautiful,
but only women who would not submit.

For all those quick fingers
broken in the vise.

For all those soft arms
pulled from their sockets.

For all those budding breasts
ripped with hot pincers.

For all those midwives killed merely for the sin
of delivering man
to an imperfect world.

For all those witch-women, my sisters,
who breathed freer
as the flames took them,

knowing as they shed
their female bodies,
the seared flesh falling like fruit
in the flames,

that death alone would cleanse them
of the sin for which they died

the sin of being born a woman,
who is more than the sum
of her parts.

The Cats Will Know*


Again the rain will fall
on the sweet pavements,
a light rain
like a breath or a footstep.
Again the breeze and the dawn
will blossom lightly
beneath your footstep
as you reenter.
Among flowers and sills
the cats will know it.

There will be other days.
There will be other voices.
You will smile alone.
The cats will know it.
You will hear antique words,
tired and empty words
like the disused costumes
from yesterday's festivals.

You too will make gestures.
You will respond with words—
face of Spring,
you too will make gestures.

The cats will know it,
face of Spring;
and the light rain,
the hyacinth-color dawn,
that tears the heart of one
who no longer longs for you,
they are the sad smile
you smile alone.
There will be other days,
other voices and awakenings.
We will suffer at dawn,
face of Spring.

Oggi è venerdi (giorno di venere)e quindi la beauty farm della strega è aperta.
E' in programma:
Scrub viso corpo con miele grezzo e olio d'oliva extravergine di prima spremitura!(sono i vantaggi di avere un padre che proviene dalla zona piu'"genuinamente
agropastorale" dell'isola delle Salamandre...(io battezzo cosi' la mia regione...anche se mi dicono che ora la zona genuina sta sotto 10cm di neve!)
Maschera schiarente al bianco d'uovo per rendere l'incarnato piu' bello e luminoso
....e...altre cosucce che se continuoa stare qui con la tazza del capuccino ormai freddo in una mano col cavolo che finisco tutto prima d'andare a lavoro!!!
Vorrei che Laura stesse qui con me a pastrocchiare ...:(

Per la mia Taddy...Practical Magic

I Benefici della luna/The favours of the moon

"I BENEFICI DELLA LUNA"

Mentre dormivi nella tua culla, la Luna, che è il capriccio in persona, guardò dalla finestra e disse:

"Questa bambina mi piace".
Discese languidamente la sua scala di nuvole, e passò senza far rumore attraverso i vetri.
Poi si stese su di te con la morbida tenerezza di una madre, e depose i suoi colori sulla tua faccia.
Così le tue pupille sono rimaste verdi, e le tue guance straordinariamente pallide.

Contemplando quella visitatrice i tuoi occhi si sono così bizzarramente ingranditi;

e lei ti ha così teneramente serrato la gola che ti è rimasta per sempre la voglia di piangere.

Nell'espansione della sua gioia, la Luna continuava a riempire tutta la stanza di un'atmosfera
fosforescente, di un veleno luminoso; e tutta quella viva luce pensava e diceva:
"Subirai eternamente l'influsso del mio bacio. Sarai bella a modo mio.
Amerai ciò che io amo e ciò che mi ama: l'acqua, le nuvole, il silenzio e la notte; il mare immenso e verde l'acqua informe e multiforme;
il luogo in cui non sei;
l'amante che non conosci;
i fiori mostruosi;
i profumi che fanno delirare;
i gatti che si beano sui pianoforti e che gemono come donne, con voce roca e dolce.

E sarai amata dai miei amanti, corteggiata da chi mi fa la corte. Sarai la regina di chi ha gli occhi verdi, di coloro a cui ho stretto la gola con le mie carezze notturne; di coloro che amano il mare,
il mare immenso, tumultuoso e verde, l'acqua informe e multiforme, il luogo in cui non sono,
la donna che non conoscono, i fiori sinistri che somigliano ai turiboli di una religione ignota,

i profumi che turbano la volontà, e gli animali selvaggi e voluttuosi che sono gli emblemi della loro follia".

Ed è per questo, maledetta e cara bambina viziata, che io ora sono ai tuoi piedi,
e cerco in tutta la tua persona il riflesso della temibile Divinità, della fatidica madrina,
dell'intossicante madrina di tutti i lunatici !"
C.Baudelaire

The Favours of the Moon
by Charles Baudelaire

THE MOON, who is caprice itself, looked through the window while you were sleeping in your cradle, and said to herself:'I like this child.'

And softly she decended her staircase of clouds and, noislessly, passed through the window-panes. Then she stretched herself out over you with the supple tenderness of a mother, and laid down her colors on your face. Ever since, the pupils of your eyes have remained green and your cheeks unusually pale. It was while comtemplating this vistor that your eyes became so strangely enlarged; and she clasped your neck so tenderly that you have retained for ever the desire to weep.

However, in the expansion of her joy, the Moon filled the whole room with phosphorescent vapour, like a luminous poison; and all the living light thought and said: 'You shall suffer for ever the influence of my kiss. You shall be beautiful in my fashion. You shall love that which I love and that which loves me: water, clouds, silence and the night; the immense green sea; the formless and multiform streams; the place where you shall not be; the lover whom you shall not know; flowers of monstrous shape; perfumes that cause delirium; cats that shudder, swoon and curl up on pianos and groan like women, with a voice that is hoarse and gentle!

'And you shall be loved by my lovers, courted by my courtiers. You shall be the queen of all men that have green eyes, whose necks also I have clasped in my nocturnal caresses; of those who love the sea, the sea that is immense, tumultuous and green, the formless and multform streams, the place where they are not, the woman whom they do not know, sinister flowers that resemble the censers of a strange religion, perfumes that confound the will; and the savage and voluptuous animals which are the emblems of their dementia.'
And that, my dear, cursed, spoiled child, is why I am now lying at your feet, seeking in all your person the reflection of the formidable divinity, of the foreknowing godmother, the poisoning wet-nurse of all the lunatics.
