54. White Witch, Black Curse


  Rachel is back and more confused than ever.  Trying to unlock her memory so she can remember who killed her boyfriend, fighting off a crazed banshee and being shunned by the witch community all lead to a very bad day (or days rather).  But Rachel seems to be coping and learning to deal with some of her problems.  Throw in lessons with a demon and an old friend who happens to be a ghost and you have a great book by Kim Harrison.  These are pretty dark books, and you feel for Rachel and everything she has going on in her life, but you are also left with a feeling that in the end it will be ok.  At least I hope so.

56. Into The Woods: The Oxford Companion To Fairytales

One of the best things about working at Oxford University Press is finding older books you didn’t know about. A couple of days ago I came across The Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales: The Western Fairy Tale Tradition from Medieval to Modern, edited by Jack Zipes. I decided to put the volume to the test. Would it have the modern musical interpretation of fairy tales? It did! Below is the entry about one of my favorite shows, Into the Woods.

58. The Oxford Etymologist goes Trick-or-Treating, or, A Short and Inconclusive History of the Word Witch

By Anatoly Liberman

Although we have long since become unisex in everything we do, most witches are still women. It is therefore a great comfort to know that the earliest recorded form of witch is Old Engl. wicca (masculine) “man practicing witchcraft”; it first occurred in the Laws of Alfric (890). The feminine wicce surfaced in the year 1000. This chronology does not mean that witches arose after wizards. Words, especially such words, may exist long before they find their way into a manuscript or onto a printed page, but, as far as Anglo-Saxon England is concerned, men have some precedence when it comes to pursuing magic, at least in terms of their names’ attestation. All of it is interesting and even intriguing, but, like so many other interesting things, quite irrelevant, because in Middle English, endings were leveled and the difference between wicca and wicce disappeared—antiquity or our time, nature always triumphs over nurture and unisex will have its way.

60. Wheat Wife Finished

No hiking this week, sadly, as our car is still very much out of commission, but I did finally finish up my "Wheat Wife" painting:

I was going for an earthy look, but I feel like this turned out a bit more drab than I had intended. It was the sort of image that was really cool in my head, but on paper it's just a bit lacking. I had problems with the contrast between the snow and ground. The ground should be really dark from the dampness of melted snow, but it looks too high-contrast if I darken it, so I left it lighter than it really should be.

All of my little old ladies seem to end up looking the same. I guess I should try to diversify.

Well, at least I've got this one out of my head and down on paper. On to something new!

Here's a witch I did for Hansel and Gretal, she made it into the book pretty much unchanged.
