Hearth & Horn

OK, so I have one more post - it's a bibliography with links - but the file broke, so I'll have to finish it later in the week. Also, I have comments to reply to - I haven't forgotten :)

Cheers for reading. Cheers for any feedback, be they comments, response posts, or attempts to answer the initial prompt questions for yourself.
Cheers for making Dreamwidth a safer environment to talk about difficult stuff in.

When I was working on this earlier in the week, I had to go on some very brisk "get out of your head" walks to handle some worries which were coming up, but having finished it - I'm moderately proud of it, i feel the process of writing it was constructive & helpful, and confident about posting it. So this is a nice thing too.

This post is about running the coven day-to-day, to discourage power concentrating in the wrong hands.
