Selene is the ancient Greek Goddess of the Moon-not just of its cycles, but of its very essence. She is the moon itself: radiant, eternal, gliding across the night sky with a soft and steady power. She reminds us that illumination doesn’t have to be harsh. That mystery can be holy and that softness can …

I must admit, when I first began exploring which Goddess to work with for each astrological season, Gemini left me puzzled. Air is perhaps the element I connect with the least.

Right now, my garden is awash in colour.Pink, red, yellow, white. Everywhere I turn, there is colour in a bloom. With the sun climbing higher each day and Spring beginning to tip ever closer to Summer, I find myself wandering my garden, eyes drawn to certain blooms that hold a deeper meaning and story.I began …
Beltane is the season of love and lushness, of sensuality, beauty and sacred union. The earth stretches open with delight- green, blooming and humming with life.

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, …
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 …
