With the beginning of 2025, I’m beginning a new series on my blog- an exploration of the Divine Feminine. I have chosen a Goddess for each month right through until December. It allows me to explore the Goddess in deeper detail that is nourishing to both you and I- perfect as we sink into the …
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 …
The pomegranate.It’s a fruit of myth, mentioned in the stories of Persephone and Hades, of the Garden of Eden. It’s a super food, rich in nutrients. I’ve eaten the seeds of this fruit for pleasure and ceremony. I’d read the Greek mythology of the pomegranate long before I’d heard it referred to as fruit of …
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, …
One Goddess I remember learning about as a child was Persephone- the Maiden of Spring, daughter of Demeter, who was kidnapped by Hades and taken to the Underworld.

I love this time of year; where everything is vibrant and colourful. Beltane season, every year, seems to almost appear as if by magick. I watch closely for the signs- the budding flowers, the bees buzzing, the grass growing. One day, it just seems to explode and the colour everywhere I look seems like I’ve …
The season of Beltane is a time I spend a lot of time out in nature; wandering my own garden, visiting places in nature, and places of interest. This year, I had a specific thought in mind each time I headed out. Where is the land around me enchanted? Enchant is my WOTY and so …
Even as frost and snow lays like a blanket upon the earth, I can hear Her call. A hum, low and quiet. It calls to the blossom, slowly unfurling. It beckons the sunlight that streams through the feather of the swan, the purest white as it glides across the water. It gives strength to that …
There’s a wild frenzy to witness. It beats throughout us all- within and without. From the first kiss of sunlight to the gentle caress of petals falling- nature knows there’s a cause for celebration. It’s a primal instinct that calls us now. The beating of our heart urges us forward; step after step, with bird …
