·Positive Feedback and Reviews·

The Anthropology of Mythology Fall 2003 Newsletter · I was featured as a Mythic Artist in this particular newsletter. In addition, it includes one of my own pieces of art (used with permission).

Witchy Pitas · This review was written in the very early days of Desirée's Musings, and its aesthetic style has changed quite a bit (as have my web design skills!), hopefully for the better. Somehow, even in spite of my horrible design at the time and of the small selection of writing I had available then, it still managed to get a nice review.

Shadow Witch Web Review - July 2003 · This review was actually written by an individual named Catherine and not by the "Shadow Witch" herself, and it was written before I revamped the navigation and design of the Gallery Wing, which is definitely much better due to the addition of thumbnails (although in my defense the old gallery design did instruct readers to click on the titles to view the images).

Red Cedars · Steve/Red Cedars has some interesting commentary on my (former) identity as a "Teen Witch."

WarGoddess.net - Enyo's Workshop · Red Cedars posted a review of my site at this location, and another (Enyo, the site's creator) has commented on it here as well. In May of 2005 my website was re-reviewed by Enyo Perseus at this location.

Wild Ideas Web Reviews · A very flattering and much appreciated recent review of my website.
