February 4, 2014

As you can tell from the top menu bar, I’m a fan of Herne the Hunter. As a fan, a Daughter, and a Dedicant, I know of at least half a dozen different versions of his story, plus the short story I wrote about him. So what I thought I…

The calender date for Lughnasadh may have been yesterday (February 2nd) but today FEELS like Lughnasadh! The sun is out, the weather is gorgeous (and not too hot), the lawn is in need of a mow, and all I want to do is sit out the back in the sunshine…

If you’re lucky enough to be living in a coastal town or city, heading to the beach to ground, or cast magick is highly therapeutic. Beaches can be that pure white squeaky sand, shelly, littered with seaweed or driftwood, or wonderful little pebbles which make great hand-made runes (my first…

January 17, 2014

Since coming out of the broom closet when I was 17, my journey has taken many different paths. When I moved back to Sydney two and a bit years ago, I decided that I was going to study the Bardic Grade of the program run by the OBOD: Order of…

For a blog beginning with the letter A, I’m surprised I didn’t click to this before. Anglesea. My beach. I spent the second week of my holidays visiting family and friends in Victoria. I played with my nieces, I fell asleep before midnight on New Year’s Eve, and it was…

Full Moon near the Solstice

December 18, 2013

I love listening to intuition. I really should do it more often. Yesterday morning I went to work via Town Hall. I visited my spot in Hyde Park, and, facing the East, welcomed the new dawn. I did my morning ritual, felt my bare feet sink into the ground beneath…

We’re only a few days away from Beltane, so I thought I might share another of my short stories that I submitted to the competition. Be warned…this is a little graphic! (NB: the directions in this story are Sydney Directions. Fire in the north (equator), water in the east (ocean),…

October 9, 2013

I’ve tried to keep this blog very pagan-path oriented, but there’s something that keeps replaying in my mind that I feel I need to get out there. I’ve made no secret to anyone that for ten years I was a cutter. It was a horrible point in my life where…

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.
