Reflections
Sea-Staff
Stood by the pier I sing softly to the sea I pray to La Siren and the Gatekeepers… “As I walk along the shore, let me see what I need to see.” I breathe in deeply of the salty air, the cries of gulls fill my ears and I begin to walk. Do I look … Continue reading
Resolutions and Technical Difficulties…
Hola Lovelies! My internet has been down since Xmas eve and I don’t know when it’ll be back up so I’ll be doing my best to read any comments and keep up with things on here in the meantime. Hope you all had a beautiful holiday-time and are staying cozy as the new year unfolds. … Continue reading
You cannot run from what you hold inside…
I’m learning what it means to hold an ocean inside me. For so long I ran from water – fearing the depths of the ocean which engulfs, the river which sweeps away, the floods which drown. I knew its power, this water, I turned from it not because I thought it held no power but … Continue reading
Solsticetime!
From now on, the days get longer, even while the world gets colder. This has been a busy season, and yet… I have been saying ‘No’. I have been slowing down with the season. I have been seeking the stillness. Returning to roots; food and fire, hearth and home. Turning inwards and outwards at the … Continue reading

The Forest, The Dark Mother and Elephant snot (part 1)
A three-part story of a pilgrimage to The Community of the Many Names of God – Skanda Vale. Four of us walked through the darkening forest, a reddening full moon rising over the horizon as raindrops dripped upon our brows. The trees were full of magic, the Spirit and spirits of the land – I … Continue reading
The Stillness in the Turning
Samhain, Halloween, All Saints’… The turning of the year from light to darkness. In the midst of the celebrations, the magic, the movement, is a point of stillness. The balance point before everything changes direction. I don’t do being still very well, the turning began and the still point came and I didn’t understand what … Continue reading

What happens when you’re honest?
The world fills with beauty. I wrote a post last week about taking a risk and being open about myself in a situation where I’d normally have translated my language and edited things to hide those parts of my life which I fear rejection for… This past fortnight I have practised not hiding those parts … Continue reading
