One of the topics on the Pagans Down Under blog project is ‘Favourite Craft Tool.’ I mentioned a lot of my tools in the ‘altar’ topic post, and to be honest with you, I don’t really have a favourite. In my actual practice, I don’t use a lot of tools.…

The Cloud By Percy Bysshe Shelley I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams. From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one, When rocked to rest…

[Inspired by my current study of Avalonian Witchcraft, this is a very short story written specifically for this week’s topic at The Pagan Experience: Earth – The word “earth” has multiple meanings. What does it mean to you? How do you use its definitions to support your work?] Leaving the Forest (the Myrddin)…

January 29, 2015

As Lughnasadh approaches this weekend, I’ve began to contemplate on the season and the festival. Lughnasadh is one of the seasonal holidays, also referred to as a “lesser Sabbat.” I don’t like that term as I believe it takes away from the importance of the seasonal celebrations. That said, Lughnasadh…
