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

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
I cannot talk for everyone who identifies as Queer, Trans or Non Binary – I can only talk from my own experience as that is the only experience I fully know. When I came out as non-binary, I went through a stage of anger and regret. I was angry that it took me so long… Continue reading Queer Magic – Honouring my Deadname as an Ancestor
