In my everyday life I am a dancer. That’s my job. I keep it pretty secular. I don’t push pagan or hippy stuff on my students or audiences and I tend to get annoyed when anybody tells me how I must be really connected to the Goddess through Belly Dancing, and did I know it’s […]
At this phase of my Priestess Training in Avalon, we are relating to Danu this season, who is known in this tradition as the Ancestress, the ancient mother of Air. I’ve had a bit of a funny time connecting with Danu. I’ve never really worked with her or heard much about her before. She doesn’t […]
Last year I bought a book by Stephanie Woodfield called the Celtic Lore and Spellcraft of the Dark Goddess: Invoking the Morrigan. I wrote a little review of it here and I loved it. Loved it loved it loved it. You should totally get a copy. Recently Kelley Sheppard (one of my lovely priestess interviewees […]
An incredibly, incredibly beautiful picture of Demeter, Harvest Goddess why what looks like a lady called Eve. If anyone knows who painted this tell me, because I love it and would love to see more art by this lady.
Morgan le Fey has been my favourite goddess for nearly 10 years. In other news – I am old enough to have consistently done something for 10 years. She’s a funny fish. Although she is sometimes considered an aspect of the Morrighan or of the Welsh Goddess Madron, her primary fame comes from her part […]
I admit it, I am addicted to reading priestess programs. Avalon Within by Jhenah Telyndru is a really really different kind of priestess training manual to my beloved Priestess of Avalon, Priestess of the Goddess textbook by Kathy Jones. Really different. Being a Priestess in Jhenah’s Avalonian tradition is about finding your own inner Goddess, […]
I love God. Love her. ( I know, surprise!) I’m very fond of a number of goddesses – they’re the ones that pull me and make me read and look at anything with their name on it. I love Yemanja and Oshun, Yoruban Goddesses of water from Africa. Morgana le Fey, obviously, the Morrigan and […]
The seasons are crawling towards Imbolg again. Even though inconcievably the chappy’s garden opposite my house still has blooming roses in it. The Sabbats always creep up on me like a stealth ninjas. I only just realised we’ve got less than two weeks before Imbolg hits. Time to get prepared, people! Imbolg is Bride time. Bride […]
This is me with my recent purchase: Last week, I strolled into a bookshop and bought a book. Well, I say bought – I had a freebie voucher from work (my work ROCKS) so I waltzed into a bookshop and received a FREE BOOK. Rapture! Now, I had a peeksee at this one up as […]
I wanted to share the artwork of Thalia Took. I am an artist – I studied Art with Art History at university, and I still paint stuff when the mood takes me. I have always loved goddess art passionately, but sometimes it takes me a while to find something to my taste. This woman ROCKS. […]
I’ve been a-making a new witchy journal for Samhain. (This is admittedly fueled by my stationary-buying addiction.) So I have been reading through my old witchy journal for any nuggets of gold that can inspire my new one. Earlier this year, I was hunting for spiritual direction, some way to to work towards my concept […]
“The Crone is a shapeshifter, the young embraced by the old, the woman with the animal inside or beside her. I think this is what makes her so damned scary. She screams our fears into the night, and forces us to confront ourselves”.* I’m not sure we’re (well, I’m) so great at Crones. The problem is, […]
This weekend I packed my little suitcase and adventured over to Glastonbury for a little taster of the Glastonbury Goddess Conference. I booked a workshop with grandmother witch extrordinaire Z Budapest a few weeks ago and I was super looking forward to it. I have always wanted to go to the Goddess Conference, and here […]
In various Avalon traditions Celtic goddesses are super important. Most people I meet seem to have a thing for Rhiannon, and she’s pretty awesome so I have no problem with that. She has a strong connection with horses and blackbirds, which is great because they are great. There’s a famous old myth of hers: One […]
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 […]
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: […]
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 […]
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 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’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 […]
