Fun New Ways to Write Holiday Letters, Yule Gifts, Tarot Card OriginalArt!
Hello Darlings!
Here's lots of exciting new items now for the Holiday season! Let your family and friend feel the holiday spirit with unique and fun ways to write letters!
Hot Witch Calendars * Yule Print * Stationary Sets * Postcards * Stickers
Looking for a special gift? Our holiday sales include Mermaid Tarot Cards and original black and white or hand painted art combo pack! Hooray!
The Handbook for Hot Witches books are still available and now we have them personally bedazzled available for the holiday season! Great for kids and teens! Each book will contain a personal note and illustration from Dame Darcy!
Hot Witches Through Herstory
* Lady Godiva
Her story dates back to the 11th century. She was married to Leofric III Earl of Mercia who had earned his title through success in business. They moved to Coventry in central England where in 1043 they founded and funded an abbey in Honor of Eunice, and early martyr slain by the Romans. The abbey soon became a social focus for the town, where her husband used his high position in business to impose what Godiva viewed as excessive taxes. She tried to persuade him to lower the taxes for the townspeople, to which he responded that he would if she rode naked down main street. He was shocked when she agreed for the sake of the people. The day Godiva made her historic ride, the townspeople stayed inside their houses in honor of her modesty. Except for peeping Tom. Still to this day Coventry celebrates an annual Godiva festival.
And, if you haven't already, check out our hilarious infomercial starring Isabelle to promote Handbook for Hot Witches!
Blessed Be and Happy Holidays!

GLOBAL WARMING AND FRANKENSTORM...A little advice and encouragement to all who suffers from Hurricane Sandy:
We were born into this system in which we had no say in the making. A century ago they thought they were doing the best they could to improve the conditions of the human race, but they set the system up wrong and now we, the animals , and all of nature must pay. These kinds of colossal storms breaking out don't even need to be a wake up call or a reminder to the error of our ways as a race. We are already well aware of global warming and the error of our ways, but what can we do to stop the spiral? Changing little habits every day and being aware of our impact on a bigger level helps but essentially our system is broken and its going to take a lot to break the old patterns and build anew. Nostradamus and other profits predict the end and rebirth of our time on earth now. How we operate is not sustainable, but their prophecy did not say it was the end of the world, as so many have misquoted, actually it is a new era.
The age of Pisces (the fish) and Jesus is waning and a new era, Aquarius, a time of femininity and thinking out of the box is upon us.
We can no longer go by the rules of man, for they have always been wrong, when we go by the rules of Nature and understand what this is the ultimate governing power are we can live in harmony, though in the beginning it may be more difficult to shift. May the Goddess bless and protect you my friends in the eastern sea board and all of those effected by Hurricane Sandy. Find peace in your hearts and safety for your selves and homes. We are all in this together!
Magic Blessings,

Mermaid Tarot and Hot Witch Tees Galore!
Hello everyone!
The Handbook For Hot Witches tour has officially begun! As most of you hopefully know by now, the book was released on Tuesday which was a very happy day! Things are going pretty well right now, the House of Dame Darcy is finally up and running with lots of dolls, comics, and art for every Savannah pedestrian strolling by to check out.
I'm learning how to use the tricky square credit card reader (technology blows my mind) and I love meeting and talking with interesting people at the store.
[caption id="attachment_351" align="alignleft" width="225"]
That's me hard at work in the studio! :)[/caption]
The studio is looking great, the floors and walls are tastefully painted pink and blue and there's plenty of natural light with the big windows- it's just how I wanted it, like stepping into an elaborately decorated psychedelic birthday cake!
[caption id="attachment_359" align="alignright" width="225"]
I found a mannequin too! Perfect for modeling my newly printed tees[/caption]
I've delved a little more into the printing business with my new Mermaid, and Hot Witch tees. You've gotta check them out! They're so soft and cozy and I even have my own custom Dame Darcy tag inside! Look at me, ma! ;) I feel really good about it all.
[caption id="attachment_360" align="alignnone" width="300"]
We have A LOT available...[/caption]
Yesterday, I put my Dame Darcy Mermaid Tarot deck to use by reading my beloved friend and business partner, Beth's, tarot.
[caption id="attachment_357" align="alignright" width="225"]
Me showing off my Rainbow Roll Tarot Skills![/caption]
[caption id="attachment_361" align="alignnone" width="225"]
Despite my concerned look, I think everything is going to turn out OK for her ;)[/caption]
[caption id="attachment_356" align="alignleft" width="214"]
The invitation for Naughty Nautical Nite designed by our amazing graphic designer, Emory Davis[/caption]
I do need to put down the Tarot though because these next few weeks are going to be super hectic for me! I'll have my awesome crew with me so hopefully they can keep me sane...beginning September 1st I'm going to the Decatur book festival in Atlanta and then onto several Pagan Pride festivals in Jacksonville, Savannah, Athens, and Augusta-whew! I'll be performing a Cabaret at the Savannah Pagan Pride with my dear friends and magic witch sisters, Adriana Iris Boatwright, Juli, and Fiona Horne -- I am so ready for some good times with my girls. And then everyone in Savannah needs to get ready for the Naughty Nautical Night at The Spare Time on September 28th. There's going to be belly dancing, a DJ and probably lots of weirdness, which is OK with me!
LOTS OF LOVE
Before I go out and enjoy my Saturday, I just want to say thank you to the Goddess and my wonderful friends who manifest in her many forms, particularly Beth Vantosh, Skippy Spiral, Claire Clayton, Kyle Hoover and all the creatures of the Earth, the spirits of the elements, and the spirits of Calhoun Square.
May we all live in peace, abundance and light, love, liberty and life!

Wanted: Portland Based Assistant!
Hey! Learn how to Do It Yourself book & promote art/music shows, self publish, website and dolls while helping a spooky/kooky local artist.
I’m based in Portland Oregon, so if you are too, thats ideal, but near by is do-able too.
Basically someone who I can trust and familiar with Etsy (http://www.damedarcy.etsy.com), also, some mailing, light tech and crafting. Light tech meaning, scanning, some photoshop (not crazy just adjusting things) and general computer questions that arise.

Crafting meaning I put together dolls and self published books and sometimes need help. Some pay possible, but also can help with college credit and will definately give you any gifts and referrals you want/need. I am also a psychic advisor and can help you with that if you want. Home cookin’ and lots of love and thanks to you included.
If you have a friend who you think can do some of these things, like the tech but not the crafts or vice versa please tell them as well because these catigories can be split up among different people.

EVENTS COORDINATOR
Last year in NYC, I did a Cabaret at the Slipper Room called Naughty Nautical Night (NNN) We are beginning to coordinate NNN PDX @ the FEZ in downtown PDX as well as a series of daytime weekend tea parties. Definitely NNN and maybe the tea parties I could possibly pay, but it depends on self motivation and how many people show up at the events. The NNN involves; an MC, a DJ, Nautical themed dancing girls and costumes, musical comedy, variety acts, burlesque, circus...stage hands, PR (real and virtual promotions) etc.
Job Description: deciding on themes, setting up dates for shows (bookings), talent coordination ie calling cast and crew, PR, providing PR to crew and cast to help ie delegating promotion. Again, there can be $ in this for you, it depends how well you do this job. For tea parties, same as above, but way less hectic.
CARPENTER
I have a 1902 craftsman house I live in, a door in the house won’t shut, I need it fixed so the door can latch. That is my practical request, also I need help building bookshelves. My whimsical request is this...I have a crawl space that I want to put musical equipment in, but I want it to double function as a doll house for my doll, Isabelle. If you can do the door, but not the doll house, that’s ok, but the door is a necessity and emergency right now.
Thank You!
Love,
Dame Darcy

Hey! The show at The Civilian Art Projects went smashingly well, Carol’s work was beautiful and I loved all the DC characters that showed up.We had a super fun party at her restaurant afterwards, and a lot of my pieces sold. I loved DC and I stared at my Obama inauguration metrocard for the longest time, because it gives me hope and made me so happy to visit a giant pentagram with the black magic of ages being cleansed by the new awesome way that is coming for us all. The beautiful intricate doll castles and roman colosseum, and all the erodite population particularly how the guys there dress like business vampires and are from everywhere. DC has it’s secrets, everyone can tell, but Portland has it’s faeiry secrets, hiding in little hollows and coves just on the other side of the mundane everyday world.
The fertile overabundance greenery taking over all other life forms and the constant rich smell of wet, dark, earth, it makes me feel like I’m left out of the greatest party ever and I really want to go. I will miss the fancy events in DC, here in Portland, and who will go to the faeiry inauguration with me?
The show is still up in DC if anyone nearby wants to check it out. I am honored to have been invited by Carol and Jayme , thanks ladies!

DAME DARCY
(from Wikipedia.com)
"In 1989, Darcy won a scholarship to the San Francisco Art Institute,
where she majored in film and animation, studying with, among others,
George Kuchar and Kathy Acker. During this time, Darcy began
self-publishing Meat Cake. While in San Francisco, Darcy formed her
first band, Caroliner Rainbow, and produced her first independent solo
music releases.
In 1992 Dame Darcy moved to New York City, where she worked as
a freelance illustrator and cartoonist. In 2001, she moved to Los
Angeles.
She has exhibited her fine art in both solo and group shows, in the
U.S., Austria, and Tokyo.
Dame Darcy is now bi-coastal, calling both New York and Los Angeles
home. (In fact, she has just moved to Portland. - ed.)
Darcy has provided illustrations for writers Alan Moore, Poppy Z.
Brite, Trina Robbins; and fashion designers Anna Sui, Jared Gold, CWC,
and Coi Girl Magic, among others.
She is also a musician and performer of unique and experimental
combinations of bluegrass music, Americana, classic Expressionism and
transgressive aesthetics. Her collaborations with Caroliner Rainbow,
Lisa Crystal Carver’s Suckdog, Rock Rock Chicken Pox and heavy metal
author Ian Christe in Grouse Mountain Skyride have inspired members of
the avant-garde such as Thurston Moore. Darcy sings, and plays banjo,
electric bass, and singing saw."
THE STOLEN SWEETS
The Stolen Sweets formed in 2004 with the intention of reviving
the songs of 1930s sister act, The Boswell Sisters. Comprised of
vocalists Jen Bernard, Lara Michell and Erin Sutherland, guitarists
Pete Krebsand, David Langenes (both of whom sing) and double bass
player Keith Brush, The Sweets’ repertoire has expanded to include
material from the1920s -1940s. Their arrangements are still inspired
by the Boswells’ tight 3-part harmonies, frequent tempo changes and
"knowing shrugs and raised eyebrows," as noted by the Oregonian’s A&E.
Unlike the original Boswell arrangements that featured piano,
clarinet,and horns, the Sweets incorporate gypsy jazz
accompaniment,reminiscent of Django Reinhardt.
The Sweets stay busy playing club gigs, private events and
festivals all over the northwest and beyond. They strive to keep these
vintage tunes alive, transporting a wide array of listeners to the
early days of jazz.
THE UNDERSCORE ORKESTRA
The Underscore Orkestra is a Portland OR based band, playing a blend
of Balkan, Klezmer, Gypsy Jazz and Swing, with a repertoire consisting
ofboth original and traditional material from fast bulgars and
melodious waltzes to odd meters and swinging rhythms. Our
instrumentation includes violin, accordion, guitar, banjo, clarinet,
horns, flute,harmonica, bass, vocals and percussion. Each of the
members comes from various backgrounds and musical disciplines from as
far away as Russiaand as close as our own North West. The Underscore
Orkestra has been performing for the past 3 + years, touring all around
the western U.S.,Mexico and Guatemala and has been seen from intimate
coffee shop setting all the way to huge outdoor festivals.
CRITICAL THEATER
Started in February 2000 as vehicle for music, performance and
neoteric ritual. by Maxwell Benedetti. A few rotating members over the
years. We strive to be music/art/ritual as life, we strive to put
spirit in thisprimal music we make and we hope that it may serve in
the helps of;connection, meditation, dance, exorcisms, ritual, healing, catharsis, catalyst
and enjoyment. We strive to experiment and explore many types of
instruments and equipment. We strive to give reverence to a pantheon of
different musical Gods who haunt the primitive world, the suburbs, the
ghettos and (and yet!) untouched forests. We strive to explore the
music of inner/outer space. We strive to use music to help access,
acknowledgeand identify hidden "parts" of the subconscious and giving
them voicesand expression, for these "parts" are our insane inner
children. We strive to be urban shamen, post apocalyptic witches...etc.

OK, so I’m in Portland. I’m looking for a house in the North East or South East for I’ve been told these are the best places.
This is my ideal home:
2 bedroom stand alone house (no condo etc) $1000.-$1200. mth. including utilities. I’d like to have the option of renting out the other room
while getting the site ready. Furnished a bonus but not necessary. Washer/drier a plus but again not necessary.
Garage a plus but again not necessary.
PDX REVIEW
So I’m going to review Portland like a record...
I think the people here are so shockingly nice because, like a kitty that has never been hit, they don’t know any other way.
Kurt Cobain is not dead. I saw him a billion times walking around everywhere and he is practically every guy at every party and cafe I’ve been to.
Everyone is snuggly and crafty and makes their own everything. This place is D.I.Y. capitol and I like that!
Living here is like living in a discount store because everything and I mean EVERYTHING is Half off! Especially compared to Manhattan!
This is definitely the place to bunker down during a recession.
Lots of awesome Witchy women and cute witchy guys! Like my new assistant Maxwell...simply magical!
Also, speaking of awesome witchy women and cute guys, thanks to Nina for modeling and using her witchy powers for the latest auction and to Matt Stanger my cute brother for modeling as well.
PDX I kiss Kiss Kiss you on your cute, chubby, snuggly, rosy, punk rock, cheeks!
Love DD

What Has Been Revealed
*ART/Fashion Auction
http://stores.ebay.com/Dame-Darcys-Store
*Current Events:
The Sloan Fine Art Show was super fun and amazing. Thank you to everyone that came and to Alix and Tiffanie, it you made my art dreams come true!
*Hand Book For Hot Witches
WHAT HAS BEEN REVEALED
The truth is the blood and guts of ones soul that comes oozing out when one has been smashed alive by God like a bug.
I found my own Hand Book For Hot Witches two days ago. It’s called Confessions of a Pagan Nun, by Kate Horseley. I want to ask the publishers if I can make it into a graphic novel because it rocks so hard and would be a wonderful teaching tool for so many.
God gave it to me because I was in agonizing pain and I asked for my life to unfold every moment and reveal the path to peace.
I was walking in the cold wind crying. I saw a pile of books and in a moment drew my hand to the first one I picked. I practice bibliomancy, by asking the universe questions and flipping through a book to land on the word or phrase in the book to answer the question.
This is like bibliomancy but with a whole book that every word of every page answers every question I can think of. I have asked God for this before and I can practice Living every moment in the present because I learned how through Buddhism. When in this practice, I notice the gifts all around me and magnetize exactly what I need and request. I also keep my mind and options open to receive new gifts and lessons.
This book had been translated from a manuscript written first hand by Gwynneve, a witch in the dark ages around 450 AD.The time when Pagans were beginning to be slaughtered by Christians. Reading her writings is like having her sitting across from me as a friend, telling me everything as if we were having a conversation. I want to reach back in time to the 1500’s and give her a hug to tell her it’s ok. Her words made it to the future and I will do everything I can to put it into practice.
This manuscript was revealed to me because we are now in another dark age, where we can learn valuable lessons from her on how to go back to Paganism now that the patriarchy, and industrialization has run its course. The age of Pisces is coming to a close and the age of Aquarius is here, this is what the Myans are talking about when they refer to 2012 being the end of time.
My best friends in New York are Jewish and Tibetan; both are races that know gentricide and injustice. I know why I so deeply empathize and obsess on justice for these crimes against nature and family because I now so clearly know my race has been brutalized for centuries.
Although I am white, I am not whitey. In fact I am the cracker attacker! I am the race of the Fae, or the “Bean Sidhe” as the book told me.
I can feel the pain of every forest burning, of every animal that goes extinct or is tortured in a factory farm, every political prisoner, the fish choking in the ocean. I feel them because I AM them, they are my race.
When I wrote my graphic novel Gasoline it came from this, but now I know I have to create the utopian renaissance and rebirth out of the industrial dark ages we are now in. I wrote about it in a book, but it has to manifest here in life first in the weird virtual world of telecommunications and then in reality.
There is a place where particles of matter and waves are the same. There are no words for this place, but it is where a Druid can breathe onto a stone and it turns to dust. It is time to dwell and go to this place, to never forget where it is.
I have to go to Portland Oregon because of the strange combination of Technology and the spirits of trees and how they both can help me begin a new society.
I have lived in a city with a population no less than 8 million because of the dreams and promises that a metropolis has to offer. New Yorkers have to spend ninety percent of their incomes on apartments they still think are too small, and they have the lowest breakup rates in the country because there is no other place for the broken up with to move.
But I have now found that the limitations and dreams I accepted when I was younger have either been realized or have been revealed to be delusional. They have metamorphosised into a narrow and secret passage leading to an expanse of space and liberation I had not realized existed. I now prefer peaceful surrender to noble battle, for in peace is an eternal freedom one never has in war, though sometimes fighting is necessary for external freedom.
My disappointment is not bitter, because I once was with a companion who did not turn his back on truth.
In the book the Faeiry lady Gwynneve looses her witch mother to death by medieval worms. Her mother was unrepentant and howled at the moon, carefully picking herbs from the forest and had hair like a fine long black cloak over her tattered real cloak. Her soul mate Witch Husband was slaughtered by Christians.
Although I have lost my witch husband soul mate, I find solace in knowing it at least has not been to death.
On our wedding day he promised to weave me a crown from his raven black hair to wear over my yellow faeiry hair. He promised to raise our adopted daughters to be witches in paradise and never know the suffering of this patriarchy, and to care for me even if I loose my mind. He said I’d get even more beautiful when I am old.
He recognized me from Atlantis where we used to live, and showed me his Druid tricks, which he specialized in through education, ancient thought and technology. He promised to help me use all this to make the movie for my book Gasoline if all the other promises of others failed.
I mourn over the loss of these promises now gone and the hope that burned bright with them.
I am not crying because I am being negative, as I have been accused, nor am I crying because I am being weak. Being a robot devoid of Passion and able to turn off his emotions does not make a man stronger. It takes more strength to feel.
But I now know there are two reasons I have no home and have been a wanderer my entire life. I have to create my home, which I know how to do now, thanks to the brutal heartbreak and enlightenment that has befallen me upon the release of my magnum opus and the loss of my soul mate at once, and also because I am a Druid, who have to wander to learn and pass on their teachings.
A teaching and quote from Gwynneve for all the hot witches, from one Druid to another:
“And here I say that a woman can ally herself with men’s power as long as she has her youth to offer. But when a woman looses her youth, she will regret playing that game.
And she will wish she had instead learned the art of druid or warrior to make those less wise respect her capacity for affection."
The definition of chivalry is for men to serve and protect women. It is an ideal and I believe is not entirely dead. But when all else fails, women do not need to rely on men for protection. And by the way, the only reason women ever need protection is usually from other men.
I am facing the patriarchy again now without my witch husband, I am weary of the inane games it forces me to play, but I am thankful that though I no longer have my true love, I do have my friends and family so I am not alone.

*Hand Book For Hot Witches
WHAT HAS BEEN REVEALED
The truth is the blood and guts of ones soul that comes oozing out when one has been smashed alive by God like a bug.
I found my own Hand Book For Hot Witches two days ago. It’s called Confessions of a Pagan Nun, by Kate Horseley. I want to ask the publishers if I can make it into a graphic novel because it rocks so hard and would be a wonderful teaching tool for so many.
God gave it to me because I was in agonizing pain and I asked for my life to unfold every moment and reveal the path to peace.
I was walking in the cold wind crying. I saw a pile of books and in a moment drew my hand to the first one I picked. I practice bibliomancy, by asking the universe questions and flipping through a book to land on the word or phrase in the book to answer the question.
This is like bibliomancy but with a whole book that every word of every page answers every question I can think of. I have asked God for this before and I can practice Living every moment in the present because I learned how through Buddhism. When in this practice, I notice the gifts all around me and magnetize exactly what I need and request. I also keep my mind and options open to receive new gifts and lessons.
This book had been translated from a manuscript written first hand by Gwynneve, a witch in the dark ages around 450 AD.The time when Pagans were beginning to be slaughtered by Christians. Reading her writings is like having her sitting across from me as a friend, telling me everything as if we were having a conversation. I want to reach back in time to the 1500’s and give her a hug to tell her it’s ok. Her words made it to the future and I will do everything I can to put it into practice.
This manuscript was revealed to me because we are now in another dark age, where we can learn valuable lessons from her on how to go back to Paganism now that the patriarchy, and industrialization has run its course. The age of Pisces is coming to a close and the age of Aquarius is here, this is what the Myans are talking about when they refer to 2012 being the end of time.
My best friends in New York are Jewish and Tibetan; both are races that know gentricide and injustice. I know why I so deeply empathize and obsess on justice for these crimes against nature and family because I now so clearly know my race has been brutalized for centuries.
Although I am white, I am not whitey. In fact I am the cracker attacker! I am the race of the Fae, or the “Bean Sidhe” as the book told me.
I can feel the pain of every forest burning, of every animal that goes extinct or is tortured in a factory farm, every political prisoner, the fish choking in the ocean. I feel them because I AM them, they are my race.
When I wrote my graphic novel Gasoline it came from this, but now I know I have to create the utopian renaissance and rebirth out of the industrial dark ages we are now in.

The deadline for this project is the end of Jan. 09.
Here’s the link for Golden Shoes, an animation that has the look and feel of what the client wants.
After working on this project we need to design logos and animated titles for the half and hour segments that I’m designing for the movies, music videos, etc. to put on Dame Darcy.com to podcast, stream, and download.
This can be paying once set up, ( you don’t have to set it up, we have people for that).

So, the Portland events are still yet to be announced, but what I do know is that I’M MOVING TO PORTLAND OREGON!
I am moving to Portland because I keep hearing it’s witchy, environmental, liberal, cartoonist friendly, low overhead and higer standard of living, and my family lives there. I am really nervous and kind of scared because I never lived there before and I don’t really know what to expect.
This move was not really planned for, but due to circumstances beyond my control is is a necessary.
I will still be going to NY and LA on a regular basis to produce my Gasoline Feature Film that is currently in the works, because the book is out now. BTW, it’s half feral (D.I.Y) so if any one has any leads , ideas, or suggestions pertaining to film production please contact me here at damedarcy@damedarcy.com.
BTW, the original illustrations from Gasoline are available now... just contact the Sloan Fine Art Gallery listed below for negotiable prices. It’s very exciting!
Also, because of my move I am looking for an assistant in Portland OR.
I know I’m always looking for assistants, a dyslexic Dame can’t have to many, that’s what they say...
Here’s what were doing:
Some one with basic computer know how, I do a lot of scanning and some cataloging, also help with events promo,doll crafting, and an assortment of other things.
Just contact me at damedarcy@damedarcy.com with : PORTLAND ASSISTANT in the subject line. Thanks :)
Also, a new documentarian/ cinematographer for the Portland events, and editing/ compressing and uploading the video blog and various other movies, shows and events. I love to work with you and your creative input too :)
Contact me with : PORTLAND CINEMATOGRAPHER in the subject line
Open to helping with school credits and/ or job referrals and development/ addition to your reel/resume.

Plans for the upcoming year include making www.damedarcy.com into a funhouse!

Games, radio, downloadable movies, live chat and link yourself to the EZ Bake Coven to profile your own amazing art.
