Mine wasn't all that bright, so my brain spotted it as an impostor.

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
Hope that everyone is having a good weekend!
Work for this week has been mixed, a few busy days, and a few slower ones, which is good, gives me a chance to breathe.
Had the maintenance man here twice this week, he was here on Wednesday fixing an issue with my bedroom closet door, and a crack in the grout in my shower. Then, on Thursday my A/C unit started to leak water, so he had to come back on Friday and fix that for me.
Today is just a day to chill out, except when I do a work out. Tomorrow is laundry.
After next week, I have another 'staycation' scheduled. I had originally planned to do a day trip to the Jersey Shore, but given the way the cases of Covid are spiking, and the fact that a number of attractions are closed, I decided against it.

Thanks for the info, BBP! Katy, perhaps you need a stronger light box.

Thanks for the link. It appears that those "witches" were Danish.
I haven't really studied witchcraft or Wicca, but I have read a book Scottish Witchcraft: The History and Magick of the Picts. It is not a religion but has some spiritual elements. Much of the book talks about being self-reliant, being able to "read" the weather, path finding, using fire, tools, how to snare a rabbit, etc. The properties of various herbs, trees and plants. Astronomy. It also covers amulets and talismen, festivals, songs and dances. Natural living. Pretty tame stuff. No casting spells, evil curses, that kind of thing.

I always thought this Wiccan former NPR reporter, the late Margot Adler, sounded interesting
