Underlying Drivers and Motivations 2. Specific Behavioral Tactics 3. Impact on the Receiver 4. How to Respond

I instinctively moved forward towards my husband to take his out-stretched hand, when old Uncle Bill surprised me by moving with lightening speed, jumping in front of me, and actually taking ahold of my arm. He turned to my husband, smiled and said, “She can stay here and talk to me.” The look on my husband’s face was one of stunned disbelief, like he was trying to process what just happened.

Link: https://everycathasatale.blogspot.com/2026/01/hating-megan-markle-has-become-big.html Yes, it has become big business, and there are people who are making a lot of money and supporting themselves by deliberately promoting hate for this one individual. I can't imagine living like this, being one little woman who is vilified on a daily basis, much to the satisfaction of the people who are earning money from this endeavor.

The Duchess of Sussex has already revealed in an interview that in the past she has had thoughts of self-harm, that she knew she needed help, but did not know how to go about getting it.

Hopefully, ensconced in her home in California, she feels safe and secure and at peace. I really hope so. But if anything should happen to this woman because of the mental and emotional distress caused by these constant world-wide hate campaigns, I hope her family would seek justice, accountability, as well as financial restitution.

Everything this woman does is blasted with vitriol by an exuberant self-righteous band of journalists, podcasts, and news agencies. Everything this woman does not do is blasted with virtriol by an exuberant self-righteous band of journalists, podcasts, and news agencies. Meghan Markle is figuratively gunned down by the press, no matter what she does, or what position she takes, and on a slow news day, she's blasted just for existing.

Link: https://everycathasatale.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-magick-of-water-in-witchcraft.html Water magic uses water's fluidity for emotions, healing, purification, and intuition by incorporating it into daily routines like charging water, performing cleansing baths, scrying, or using specific sources like rain or ocean water for intentions like love, protection, or removing negativity, often charging it under the moon, the sun, or with crystals.

Link: https://everycathasatale.blogspot.com/2025/12/armchair-psychology-dark-triad.html Could this be anyone we all know?... hmmm 🤔 The "Dark Triad" in psychology refers to a cluster of three distinct but overlapping personality traits:

Narcissism (grandiosity, entitlement) Machiavellianism (manipulation, cunning) Psychopathy (lack of empathy, impulsivity, antisocial behavior).

People high in these traits are often charming but self-serving, predatory, and willing to exploit or harm others for personal gain, exhibiting exploitative, callous, and unethical behavior.

The Tower...

So appropriate for these times, this is a personal meditation, something I have not done at The Mystic Crone until now.  This is often referred to as the "shit hits the fan" card.  But let's dive deeper, there's more to it than that.

At The Mystic Crone you'll find mystical readings from Spirit to guide you on life's path

From The Witch's Desk ~ Spilling the Tea Might be an uncomfortable read if you recognize yourself, or someone you know. But "Spilling the Tea" is brutally honest, if nothing else.

Welcome to Spilling the Tea, stories created with the magic of tarot cards.  These are purely fictional creations, the result of creative writing and a vivid imagination... or are they?  If you should recognize yourself, or a particular person, or a certain situation, it will be pure coincidence... or is it?

Episode #45 Daily Cards/Daily Wisdom ~ are you the culprit? or the victim? Audio verson

Link: https://everycathasatale.blogspot.com/2025/08/the-loft-artists-of-new-york.html

You’ll find three videos at this link…

There is a young photographer who is photographing and filming elderly artists in their New York loft apartments.  These artists have lived here for decades creating their art inside these walls.  This young man is doing us all a great favor by bringing them to us, by documenting their lives and their unique and amazing living spaces before it all disappears.  I’m sure you’ll find these gifted individuals as amazing and interesting as I do.

You’ll find information on this photograher and on the book he is publishing at the end of this post at my blog, Every Cat Has a Tale.

Because of changes at YouTube and how it allows us to view videos posted elsewhere, when you want to watch a video posted here, you might have to click on the box found on each video that says “Watch on YouTube”.
