Over the course of the last 12 months, I’ve been honouring my word of the year- Enchantment. I’ve journeyed through the seasons, paying close attention to the signs of the seasons, and looking for the enchantment that each season brings. It feels right that the season that teaches us how beautiful it is to let …
I had planned a different blog post for today. Something around the elemental energies of fire, now that we’re in Sagittarius Season. As Winter fast approaches, we balance out the coldness with fire to warm our homes, our bodies and our imaginations. As the days went by though, my week had different intentions. We lost …
Now that Sagittarius Season is here, I’m fully in the mode of prepping for the next year. I begin this process in October, beginning to feel into what I want to focus on next year- and it starts with a Word of the Year (WOTY). I’ve had a WOTY for several years now. 2020 was …
I have some exciting news. My first book of poetry, Witch. Priestess. Storyteller is now available to purchase! Several years worth of writing, nurturing my muse that culminated into the past several months as I worked through the practicalities of publishing a book, and I can now announce that it is available to purchase! Inspired …
I’ve spoken a lot about Persephone recently- She is the Goddess I work with October through to mid-November, during the Scorpio season. She is the Goddess of Spring, but my connection with her is Queen of the Underworld. The Dark half of the Year though, is for the Dark Goddesses. Those who bring to the …

Samhain falls on the eve of the last day of October- from sunset on the 31st October, the Celtic fire festival- and the final harvest- begins. It’s a time of honouring the dead, our connection to our ancestors, a time of sacrifice and is when the veil is at its thinnest between the world of …
Scorpio season is upon us- a time of transformational energy and expanding on our knowledge. I like to counter-balance this with reading fictional books- and as I’m a bookworm (or a book dragon is perhaps more apt, as I like to collect books!) I’d like to share some of my favourites, as well as what …
I walk forward in silence. Surrounded by a vast field that stretches to each horizon. A mist clings to the ground- I assume that there is grass there, but I cannot see it, cannot hear it. I am faintly aware of my heartbeat, unusually loud in this otherwise silent landscape. It sounds like a drum, …
October is such a powerful time of year. The veil is thinning and the dark half of the year is truly taking grip. It’s a time of transformation, of magick. It also holds the memory of my initiation as a Priestess of Brigantia. This week marks the anniversary of my initiation. Four years- and so …
