Jumping the Broom is both a Celtic/European tradition, as well as an African tradition. After the bride and groom have been proclaimed married, a broom/besom is laid at the pairs feet, and the jump over it. Seems like a simple ritual, right? Try doing it in wedged heels wearing a VERY heavy…

I find that I can only talk about mental illness when I’m in the episode of a Dive. Like today. It’s waxed and waned a few times, but it just won’t let go. It’s really crippling. One moment you’re fine, the next you’re wanting to hide in the deepest, darkest…

The Light shine on you, and the Creator shelter you. May the last embrace of the Mother welcome you home. – Shienarian saying, ‘The Great Hunt’ by Robert Jordan My Dearest Lola, I tried to move heaven and earth to find you. I did everything I could have done, without…
Hello,

Welcome to BookOfEucalypt, my little piece of the internet since 2011. I write about all things Paganism, Herne the Hunter, my path, with bits of poetry and short stories thrown in for good measure.
