“Know thyself.” One of the most important lessons and/or sayings (I believe it be) within the Craft, regardless to what branch you follow. I won’t lie – when I was younger and of course knew EVERYTHING, I thought that saying was a bit of wank. I didn’t understand how you could truly know yourself: if… Continue reading Creative Intuition & Knowing Thyself | Creatieve Intuïtie & Ken Uzelf
I was reminded recently of a time I bargained with the Gods. I was young, stupid, and it was complete desperation. It was near midnight, cold, clear sky. I went to visit my Great Grandmother who had passed less than 10 years prior. It wasn’t my intention, but I broke. I found a tree, lit… Continue reading Bargaining with the Gods for Help | Onderhandelen met de Goden voor hulp
During the holiday period I told myself I’d get back into blogging again. My faith has been on hold, and previous posts go into why. But sometimes you just don’t know what to talk about, you don’t know what to write about. Do you even have TIME to write when you do have something in… Continue reading Ancestral Guidance | Voorouderlijke Begeleiding
Sometimes we put our faith aside. Writing it, it seems like such a silly idea. Q. Wouldn’t you cling to your faith when the world around you crumbles?A. No, I was too busy trying to keep myself afloat while slowly drowning. We’re approaching the Summer Solstice, Midsummer, Zomer zonnewende, Alban Hefin. The weather here in… Continue reading Finding my way home
Trigger warning: this is a heavy read, with topics of mental health, suicide ideation and self injury. When we begin working with the Old Gods, we begin developing a relationship based on trust and respect, of adoration. Some of us become Devotees. Some of us befriend. We look to them for guidance, for help. We… Continue reading Depression and the Wild Hunt: when what you hear isn’t the Old Gods
Blessings of the Season to you all. I love Yule. Over the last few years it’s become my favourite Sabbat. It’s a very personal one for me as rituals held the last few years have been so incredibly impactful. This is the first time I’ve felt the urge to write in too long. It’s the… Continue reading A Year and (almost) a Day
It’s been a tough year. I’ve quit a toxic work environment and joined the most amazing work family who have been incredibly supportive. We’ve moved house, again, but have the most beautiful kitchen and have planted flourishing veggie and herb gardens. We’ve had countless trips to hospital as we chase answers for Shell’s health (one… Continue reading Pondering at the Solstice
I’ve realised of late that my idea of ritual and honouring Herne has changed and adapted. It used to be a very “me and Him” relationship where, like many Dedicants, time was placed aside each day/week to give honour, to communicate, have a chat, have a drink. My life now is vastly different to… Continue reading Encompassing the Hunter
