  • Faeriedaughter and the Miracle Kitten

    I went to go and see my Mum this last weekend. Or, more specifically, my Mum’s borrowed kitten. She’s looking after him while his owners are away. After the initial AWWWSHBUHDUNSCHERHERMERRRRRRR! squealing because he is so cute, and he looked so cutely freaked out when I made this noise, I got to know him better. […]

  • I’m onto you

    It’s funny how there are so many positive thinking/you can change your life/law of attraction/wicca 101/self help bestseller books out there all with exactly the same theme and information in it? And isn’t it funny that one person who is into that kind of stuff will probably own or have read about 5 – 10 […]

  • I never wanted to be a receptionist anyway

    Today I have had some perspective training. By day, I work as a receptionist. It’s my pay-the-bills job. I do okay there. Yesterday, I had a surprise meeting, and we all know those are never good. We had a chat about how I could be doing better ie. how I could be doing stuff more […]

  • I Love You

    We are just coming out of Beltaine season, so lets talk about those three little words. I remember with my first boyfriend, he decided to start telling me “I love you” within about a month. Wha?! That was weird. I was 17, very cynical about relationships even then. I thought we’d all be over by […]

  • 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 […]

  • Healing through Journaling

    .. though as I am english I would really say “through writing in my diary”. This year I have been thinking a lot about self-healing, and how the arse you do it. Last year was all ups and downs, and I’ve been trying to figure out a way to stabilise that. One way I have […]

  • Hells no, we won’t go

    This week has been a mad crazy week. See? Emotionally, I have been so much all over the shop I popped into other shops while I was at it. I’m part-time employed person to give me time to pursue the things I really want to do with my life – art and bellydance. This week, […]

  • Creativity Lockdown

    It’s so frustrating when you find yourself smack at the beginning again. Since I was a kiddywink, it’s always been encouraged and assumed that I would grow up to be an artist. I’ve always been pretty talented at it – did well at school, then went off to uni to do an art degree. After […]

  • Thank the JESUS that is the end of 2010

    I would like to start by congratulating everyone who reads this for making it through another year of life. Hurrah for continuing to live! I am pretty sure 2010 sucked for a lot of us. My last year dragged me deep into the inner demons that I didn’t even know I had, and I spent […]

  • “Should” is a bad word

    I am sure I am not the only one who is top quality procratinative material. If I could sell it, I would be sleeping on a bed of fifty pound notes, my skills are that fantastic. Now, this is not a skill I am proud of, and I’ve been trying to work out the reason […]

  • It’s OK!

    I’m beginning to think that the point of spirituality is not to space out time in which to meditate, or pray, or make complicated incense. I am beginning to think that it’s to be as wholly you and true to yourself that you can be. What I am learning is that, spiritually, it’s ok to […]

  • Work Sucks

    So Faeriedaughter got herself a job, one of those ones that completely suck time. It’s acceptable, it could be much worse, I could be fighting Voldemort for chrissakes. But, when it really drags and I think, crap, I have done nothing spiritual all month as I hardly been home, I think of Kwan Yin. She […]

  • Valentines day!!!!

    So, what does a single, unmarried, boyfriendless Faeriewitch do on Valentines day? Have an absolutely awesome time!! I have had a brilliant day, ate cake with my girl-friends, wrote my little stories, danced around, read my favourite book in the world (Ironside by Holly Black) and grinned grinned grinned to Houses of the Holy by […]

  • Working hard = Spiritual Yearning

    The harder I work (and I have been working very hard indeed) the more I want to do spiritual stuff. Currently I am starting every day with a devotion (partly because I should/want to and partly because it’s the smart witches’ way to boost creativity) but I sit there painting my damn fishes and fumbling […]

  • New Year Post!

    It’s the obligatory New Calender year Post – I told myself I wouldn’t do it, but here I am. Of course, being a witch, my New year officially starts at Samhain, but i find it hard to get things started and venture to new and better things in the run-up to Yule – it’s getting […]

  • Dreams dreams dreams

    Ok. So there is this idea that has been going round since the days of Peter Pan and the Disney Renaissance of storytelling – if you believe in your dreams, then they can come true. True, or balls? I like to think true – being generally a relentlessly positive and annoyingly cheerful Faerywitch means, I […]

  • Gaaah got the purchase bug

    So, yesterday, busying myself away on the internet, figured, well, I need some illustrative guidance, so I went and got myself a book about illustration that comes very highly reccomended from a friend of mine. It’s thirteen good english pounds, but apparantly it is worth every penny. One thousand three hundred and ninety-seven pennies, exactly. […]

  • I HAVE been drinking herbal tea!!!

    …. but I havent mastered the ability of finishing it before it all goes cold. I have lots to say (as usual, I don’t shut up in the real world) but I am exhausted, so i’m gonna take a break and come back for faery related happenings.

  • Dooom!

    After my ridiculously positive relationship-based post, I reveal to the world that I am no more together than anyone else by saying that The Guy has a new Girlfriend, and I am Not Ok with it, even though I said and thought I would be. I know this girl, she is lovely and pretty and […]

  • The Slothwoman

    Many moons ago I bought and read Z Budapest’s Holy Book of Women’s Mysteries. A lot of it I don’t agree with – free lady love under a moon, being one of them – but a lot of it is inspiring and feministly good. One subject she touches upon is the Slothwoman, described in other […]
