Wild Moon Cottage is a small working homestead in the pristine Ozark Mountains. We have dairy goats, poultry, organic herb and vegetable gardens, a start of a tiny fruit orchard, several black walnut trees, wild berries and fields of wildcrafting goodness. We raise our own milk, our own eggs, much of our own medicine and food. I do laundry by hand, make my own vinegar, candles, soap, bread, cheese ........ For a living I am an artist and herbalist. My goal for myself and our homestead is to be as self sufficient and self sustaining as possible.

Ancient New Year


As the hour nears I feel more embraced, close, almost stifled but not quite.

I can hear the shuffling of feet all around me and yet my eyes see no one there.

I am surrounded, they gather round, the veil parts gently and we begin to dance.
