Accessing the Future

November 12, 2015

Something I’ve come to accept with learning how to tune my Psychic and Mediumship abilities is that I’m not always going to like what I see. Just as things in life happens when we’d rather they wouldn’t, sometimes the future has a possibility and you are shown it. The trick…

October 29, 2015

A new tradition of mine is forming – each year I write a short story to read out at the Beltane gathering, hosted by Gliding Seal Events (and unlike last year, this year I had to confidence to read this story aloud!) This year’s gathering as come and gone, and I had an…

October 4, 2015

I’ve never worked with Manannán mac Lir before, and until a search before writing this, I don’t believe I was even pronouncing his name correctly. Manannán mac Lir is a Deity of Irish, Welsh, Scottish, and Manx legend, associated with the Tuatha and the Formorians. He is the God of the…

September 3, 2015

Since I’ve begun working with different Archetypes of the Goddess with my wonderful Sisters, I’ve felt this nagging sensation to develop something similar for the God, and in particular, for Herne. I was weary to act upon it for a number of different reasons – not associating myself as male and…

August 25, 2015
