About Me

Hello friends and welcome! I’m Sylvan and I’ll be your author today.

I am currently 45 years old, a double Scorpio, a native Texan, a size 26; my pronouns are she/her.

Important note to start off: If you are homophobic, misogynistic, support Trump to any degree, think AR15s are more important than people’s lives, are anti LGBTQIA, a terf, a big lover of capitalism or a hater of fat people, then my work, and I, are definitely NOT FOR YOU. I am a trans-affirming, anti-fascist, anti-racist feminist. If you plan to argue with me on these points…go away. I do not engage with trolls.

There! I saved us both some time.

I am a Unitarian Universalist Pagan; I used to identify as Wiccan (hence the books I wrote on the subject) but realized I’d left the label behind years ago. I’m trying to figure out where I fit in as far as the modern Pagan world goes; I’m from an older generation before social media was much of a thing, so I feel pretty out of touch. I am working on my YouTube skills so I can contribute to the larger community – I used to teach quite a bit, and I think the video format might suit me if I can just figure out how I want to do it!

My love bug, Fitzwilliam Q. Darcy III, Esq.

I am an ethical vegan and I seriously do not care why you eat meat or can’t give up cheese. I am making the first few notes on a Pagan vegan e-book or something like it, because I know there are a lot of us and a lot of Pagans who would be interested.

I believe in deity most days but am also staunchly pro-science because nobody’s thousand year old book or invisible Friend, including whatever the heck I believe in, should dictate public policy.

The kitchen of my dollhouse project. All but a few accessories were made by hand.

I am mentally ill and talk about it quite openly because silence and stigma both kill.

My fiction involves LGBTQIA relationships and polyamorous relationships. Like a lot. I curse a VERY LOT. I abuse capslock regularly.

This past year I took up miniatures as a hobby; I’ve been working on a Witchy dollhouse for most of the year. If you follow me on Instagram you’ve seen pictures. By “working on” I mean “building from scratch,” including the furniture and fixtures. It’s been quite an adventure.

Meanwhile here are ten of my favorite things, updated for early 2023:

  1. The Sandman (Netflix series)
  2. Encanto
  3. JuniperFoxx on Instagram
  4. Lizzo
  5. Impossible Whoppers

  7. Autumn, even in Texas
  8. Starbucks, without irony.
  9. Taylor Swift, also without irony.
  10. Lucifer (Netflix series)
