This calendar year of 2019 is all evolving around the theme of “patience” for me. As I mentioned in my previous post, in 12 months I’ve had two psychologists (in essence) throw their hands up with an inability to assist me with my problems, and I’ve had three weight loss surgical consultations in the same… Continue reading A year and a day
First and foremost, I wish to extend my thanks and gratitude to the Wind Harp Seed Group of Adelaide, for coordinating their first Druid Camp over the Easter break. I wish to extend my thanks and gratitude to Kristoffer Hughes, Cerri Lee and Dave (Damh the Bard) for coming over from the UK to facilitate… Continue reading The Awen I sing
Litha is at the end of this week, so I thought I would write (another) post about the Oak and Holly Kings, and why I associate Herne with the Oak King.

I didn’t know that what I was feeling had a name, or was even a valid feeling. I thought… Continue reading Pride Month – I am Rowan
