Just stuff I found interesting...

60+ Gardnerian HP in California, practicing witchcraft & magic since 1972, initiated Witch since 1983, seven Priestesses downline from GBG. Being posted here is not an endorsement in any way! It's just stuff I found interesting and wanted to keep track of - sometimes because it's so wrong & sometimes because it's so right. Don't assume any of this reflects my views unless I say so. There. Enjoy.

This is what I have always loved about the GLC. In addition to Lanterns like Bzzd, there one who is a sentient mathematical theorem.

Welcome to the Far Side of the Moon

A crescent Earth sets behind the Moon.

On April 6, 2026, the Artemis II astronauts flew around the Moon, observing the far side – which we never see on Earth thanks to tidal locking – with their own eyes and with cameras.

See more of the Moon:

Puilaurens Castle 🏰, France 🇫🇷

Puilaurens Castle is located in Lapradelle-Puilaurens, Aude, Occitanie, France, perched on a rocky hilltop at 697 meters above sea level. This 13th-century fortress has a rich history, initially built to defend the border with the Kingdom of Aragon. It played a crucial role during the Cathar Crusades, serving as a refuge for persecuted Cathars, including high nobles like Guillaume de Peyrepertuse.

The castle changed hands multiple times, eventually falling under French control in the 13th century. It was reinforced by Louis IX and Philip III to protect against Aragonese attacks. Puilaurens Castle is one of the "Five Sons of Carcassonne," a series of royal fortresses defending the French Kingdom's borders.

Today, the castle is a popular tourist destination, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Visitors can explore the ruins, including the Lower Enclosure, Upper Castle, and the White Lady Tower, steeped in local legend.
