Mercer Mayer ~ Aladdin, 1976
This book absolutely haunted me up until a few years ago. Once on a family visit to Nantucket when I was a girl, I spotted this book in a bookstore and had been enchanted by it. I only read it once, and we didn't buy it, and I never saw it again, but the story stayed with me. More than ten years ago now, I Dogpiled (ha! remember those days before Google!?!) the words swamp/little girl/swamp monster/book and was reunited with the pictures that had so long ago influenced me.
It was funny, too, that it would be by Mercer Mayer since I probably had every "Little Critter" book known to man at the time.
Yeller belly cottonmouth,
Possum up a tree,
You can catch the swamp fever
But you can't catch me.
I suppose being from the south and actually living nearby to real swamps made this book come alive all the more... the evil ghost of a Confederate soldier, the swamp witch, cotton mouths, and how the brilliant little girl outsmarts them all. She even sticks it to the devil himself!
I guess since I had my own swamp monsters of the imagination, it was gratifying to see a female kicking butt on the creepy crawlies of the dark. I have to give this book 80 thumbs up... plus my son gets a huge kick out of it which is all the more awesome.

I don't know about you but I think candle burning spells are some of the most relaxing and yet at the same time, one of the most magical ways to cast spells. And, whenever I'm feeling stressed I know that gazing into the flame of a candle is very relaxing to me.
Llewellyn had this in New Worlds and posted a link to it on Twitter. I follow them on Twitter because I think they have some interesting things to post every now and then and when I read this article I definitely felt like this ritual was something that I had to do. I haven't had a chance to do it yet because I'm quite sore and quite tired from work, and quite possibly a cold that I can't quite shake yet but I plan on engaging in this at some point whenever I'm feeling a tad better and more apt to cast magick.
Head on over to Llewellyn and read it.
