  • Let’s Get Lady Inspired

    Wanna know the word that get me ants-in-my-pants excited? Authenticity. ..and Free Money, of course, but lets talk about option number one. Living authentically, in that you are 100% true to yourself and your soul’s calling/likes/whims/wants, so gives me goosebumps. I’m currently trying to figure out how to bring more of it into my own […]

  • We Are Good Enough

    I remember reading Louise L Hay’s You Can Hear My Life after years of people telling me to read it, and the thing that jumped out and grabbed me was when she said that the base problem of all our problems is self love and that we don’t think we are good enough. What? I […]

  • Let’s see how pointless mythology is.

    I’ve been reading Avalon Within by Jhenah Telendru and  am thinking about using mythology as inspiration. A long time ago, when I started reading grown up copies of the greek myths as oppose to the watered down illustrated kiddy versions, I decided I Did Not Like Greek Mythology. Let me sum it up for you: […]

  • The Goddess is Darkness

    Witches know that darkness in itself is not evil – that’s why a lot of us don’t like being called white witches and don’t quite trust stuff named “Lightworking”, as it’s feeding into the dark-is-evil sterotype. Generally bad stuff tends to get called dark or gets roped under the “darkness” category, probably because dark is […]

  • Grumpy Goddess in a Bath

    So have I been mired in my own self pity these last few days. I’m a girl, I have ups, I have downs. So I completed the age old girly feel-better ritual – bubble bath, smelling of cuddles. And a book. Dipping into de Grandis for some words of wisdom (I promise, I do read […]

  • I am hunting, I found prayer!

    I have been hunting, and I discovered that as part of the house move I did some five months ago, all my 101 books are back at my mum’s house, and I have only my favourites with me. Sigh. There goes all my 101 revision. What I am learning however, is the power of prayer. […]

  • I have not The Power, Rhonda

    I’ve been reading The Power by Rhonda Byne, being the sucker for pop-new-age that I am. The Power, if you hadn’t guessed already, is love. Duh. Basically it’s The Secret all over again, saying “love” instead of “positive thinking”. That’s cool with me, as I got it from the library instead of forking out the […]

  • Going on a hunt

    Honestly, I’m a witch in training. I’ve been at it a decade, but still in training! Recently I’ve really been feeling a need to dive back into the basics of witchcraft and Goddess Spirituality and, ahem, practice them. My spiritual cravings tend to wax and wane, as I suspect everybody’s does, but now that my […]

  • My man think’s our house is breeding shrines

    Over Christmas, we made a Christmas Buddha-shrine in our sitting room instead of a Christmas tree. It lit up and everything. My housemate is Buddhist, so it was the sensible course of action. Hooray! It’s still there – it’s too nice to take down. This Ostara, after living here with my housemate and my boyfriend (name of Superman) for the last […]

  • Elements of the Wheel of the Year

    I’ve found the traditional elemental associations of the wheel of the year a little odd, always. I think it’s regularly earth in winter, air in spring, fire in summer, and water in autumn, and so they are associated with each of the season’s exquinoxy events. But, like wands being associated with fire in the Tarot, […]

  • My Ostara Adventures

    Ostara is a time of balance between, well in theory, all things. It’s balance, innit? Daytime and nighttime are the sametimes. I love the equinoxes, the planetery celebrations of the Goddess’ wheel – when you can see the seasons changing. I’ve always seen the pagan wheel as divided into sections by the equinoxes and solstices, […]

  • My Favourite Music – Wendy Rule

    I love Wendy Rule – this is from her album The Lotus Eaters, which since I discovered spotify and Superman bought it for me for Christmas, I have basically been listening to Wendy all year.  I think you will love her too, humble reader.

  • My Ultimate Tarot Trick

    I’m getting back into Tarot. Hooray! One of my life goals is to be a pro tarot reader. Now, I’m not bothered if this doesn’t happen till I am 65, so no pressure at all. However, I do much less reading for other people than I used to, and honestly, I am just getting back […]

  • Starhawk Writes Awesome Stuff About Trees

    Starhawk sometimes get’s described as stuff like “the godmother of modern wicca”. Her book The Spiral Dance was supposed to be one of THE books on wicca. Frankly, I read it and, although alright, it wasn’t anything riveting or anything I didn’t know already. It’s so not in my top list of books I didn’t […]

  • Costume of a Priestess

    I’m following Kathy Jones’ Priestess of Avalon course this year, and around Imbolg time we are encouraged to think about the attire of a priestess. Her ceremonial togs, if you will. There’s a whole witchy-person trend towards Renaissance wear, cloaks and Harry-Potter robes. The idea behind a lot of this stuff is practicality and equality […]

  • Happiness in the Kumari Sector

    One of my colleages at work is a very spiritual Brahma Kumari. I’ve always been interested in asking her more about what she believes in, but keeping my spiritual interests on the low and the fact that I find her relentlessly chipper attitude a bit annoying sometimes, I have not. However, the other day we […]
