Inexplicable Things Apothecary

Born under a cursed moon and raised among gators and gossip, Mama Sha’ has been stirring pots—both literal and metaphorical—for over 45 years. This ain’t your grandma’s apothecary—unless she hexed exes for fun and kept bones in labeled jars. Now, over the age of 50, Mama Sha’ is tired of the frilly nonsense. She’s thrown in the towel – on shiny spell jars, mass-produced “intention kits” and TikTok witches spewing out bad advice and who think magic is just lighting a candle while duck-lip pouting into their cell phone for clicks. She’s not here for the influencer alchemy or quartz-drenched nonsense blessed by algorithms and sold with a selfie, the endless parades of crystal-infused moonwater that couldn’t hex its way out of a paper bag. Mama Sha’ needs grit, not glitter. Power, not Pinterest. She has spent years building her craft with bones, fire and actual consequences. She has leaned hard into the grit, the grime, and the glory of true swamp witchery. Her hands know herbs, her boots know mud, and her mouth knows curses sharp enough to slice through generational trauma. Crystals are fine, but she prefers tools that bite back—rusted nails, crawfish mud, black salt, and the kind of herbs that get you side-eyed at TSA. She don’t cast for aesthetics. She casts for results. This isn’t a vibe. It’s a vow. If you’re looking for pastel spells and glitter jars, turn back now. But if you crave botanical vengeance and handcrafted wrath, welcome home. So buckle up, buttercups! Let’s do this!

    My Invisible Friends

    Originally posted on BJØRN ANDREAS BULL-HANSEN: These are the days of the invisible friends. And I’m not talking about supernatural beings here, not at all. Our invisible friends are those we meet through social media. Most of these people we will never meet in person, so they remain «invisible». But that does not mean…

  • Don’t Forgive – Don’t Be Hateful

    In my part of the world, and especially in Scandinavia, we are constantly told that we should forgive. By forgiving those who did us wrong, we are supposed to become free and able to move on with o… Source: Don’t Forgive – Don’t Be Hateful

    WHO WERE THE VIKINGS?

    Originally posted on BJØRN ANDREAS BULL-HANSEN: I have news for you. The Vikings were nothing like those sword wielding warriors you see on tv. They did not dress in blood stained leather and ragged tunics if they could avoid it – they preferred silk and colored linnen. They didn’t sport those fancy hairstyles that…

  • Behind the Mask . . .

    Let’s face it – most of us have been hurt in some form or fashion by someone we really cared about. That’s life – it happens to the best of us. But occasionally, we are unfortunate enough to care about a drama queen (or king). I’m not talking typical drama either – I mean the…

  • Talkin’ Funny: Louisiana Style

    Originally posted on KEN WHEATON: “Mais, yall come see my new tricycle, cher!” I must have been 17 years old before I ever uttered the phrase “come here.” And I did so only to make myself understood to what I thought was a somewhat dense Northerner, a Long Islander who couldn’t understand basic English.
