“I pray you call me Kuramu, like the only one who ever loved me.”
GUESS WHO FINISHED CHAPTER 1? ME, ME, ME, MEEEEE!!

Looking back at 2022
There’s an evil character in Romanian folklore which needs to be avoided if he appears in your path. He’s a trickster meant to enslave you by taking for himself your riches, goals and sometimes even life. His name is the Evil Bald Man. I cannot help not laugh at the translation, it sounds funny in…
Danse mon Esmeralda
Today I’d like to write about the inspiration for the paragraph below.
“In the times to come, they will tell our story,” he whispered. “They will find our love entwined under the Kurama Mountain. And then the universe will know how completely Fujiwara no Hirotsugu loved Takahashi Ryū, the beggar boy.”
December TBR – Lifetime Favorites Re-Reading Month
I have a week and a half of vacation for Christmas from the day job. Let’s see how many things I can get accomplished.
November Wrap-up: Mythology Month
I can’t believe another month has passed. It’s quite frightening to imagine 2023 is right around the corner. Sometimes I feel I’m still stuck in March 2020.
I’m currently working on Chapter 1 from Fields of Higanbana, which is still not in good shape, but I’m getting there.
Building Yomi is a wild ride. I…
The Chrysanthemum Pledge
This post is written for those who have already read Shinigami and know very well what’s happening in Chapter 39 – Yūrei: Ghost.
Spoiler – This is your chance to turn back and not be spoiled.
The Profits of Takamagahara Monogatari
As Kogitsune has reached 4 years since publication, and Shinigami 3 years, it’s time to look back at the costs, royalties and donations of this ongoing series.
I don’t know if this is common knowledge, but both “Kogitsune” and “Shinigami” have been free on my site since 2020, as a gift to everyone affected…
November TBR: Mythology Webtoons
There’s a special place in my heart for everything related to mythology. I find it very relaxing to read about the life of gods and demigods.
When I was very young, my grandma used to read to me stories from an Asian mythology inspired book. When she passed away, I took the book with me.

2022: October Wrap-up
In the world of the gods of Takamagahara, October is the month of Kannazuki.
During the “Month Without No Gods” eight million Shinto deities leave their mountains, rivers and shrines to join a congregation in the land of Izumo to discuss next year’s matchmaking. All except Ebisu, or as he was initially called, Hiruko,…
The Prologue to “Fields of Higanbana”
I always wanted to celebrate Halloween when I was young.
Halloween’s not a Romanian celebration, but the younger generations started embracing it in recent years and enjoy playing spooky dress up at the end of October. But there’s no “trick or treating”.
Our sort of “trick-or-treat” event takes place during Christmas, on the 23rd of…
The Paperback you don’t know about
I’ve been lying to you. I wasn’t as idle as I’ve made it believe in my blog from 5th of October. This is what I made.
Tiny Books And TBR for October
I discovered tiny books and I just don’t know what to do with myself anymore.
2020 Year in Review
This year was a f**k trumpet, knobhead, dickweasel tw*t of a year, and may the thunderc**t piss off into oblivion at the strike of midnight, never to be seen again. And I’m only saying this because I’m a lady. I started January with a plan to complete a 52 books reading challenge, but unfortunately life,…
