Thank you Diana

This past week has been crazy! I have been so easily distracted and unfocused, and I think I know why. In my last post I thanked Herne for being with me at uni, but there’s someone else waiting to be thanked and have their beautiful energy recognized. Lady Diana, Mistress…

I’ve been tempted to post up the other stories I’ve written (not about Herne) and maybe one day when I’m on the home laptop I’ll make a proper page and link for the story I wrote for Herne, and the other short stories. Last week was full on. Tuesday to…

September 25, 2013

Oh my gods, it’s been so long since I last posted! I wrote a short story back in May that I’ve been wanting to post, but as I submitted it to a literary competition I didn’t want to post it until that was finished. Even though I haven’t been speaking…

I love listening to intuition. Not getting off at my normal station, instead getting off one further like I used to. Then walking through the park, and going back to my power spot, the specific spot on the grass where I used to do my morning ritual. And just like…

Blessed Samhain! (I Am Worthy)

April 30, 2013

In a moment of despair, I called out to the Old Gods. Of late I’ve been disconnected, confused, trapped…the list goes on. Words like “Pagan”, “Witch”, “Druid”…they’ve become just words to me of late. Right now, they have no meaning behind them for me. With so many definitions of those words…

(Ignore what she’s doing in the video, just listen to the lyrics. I’m a bit disappointed she made the video about a guy. So cliché!) I’m considering going back to basics. Of late I’m feeling so disconnected. Since moving, it’s been for better and worse. I’ve got a fantastic kitchen…

The Goddess Diana

February 16, 2013

Given my connection with Herne, it’s no wonder that I would be drawn to a female Huntress. I’m not sure who sought who out, but as I welcome my femininity this year, beginning to honour my body as a temple and truly look after myself once more, honouring my cycles,…

February 6, 2013

My path when I was a newbie is very different to some, yet similar to others. When I first became a newbie into the Pagan world, I threw myself into it. I read every book I could afford to buy (google didn’t exist back then, and webpages spurted “must be…

Damn, I didn’t intend on it being almost a month since posting here. I’ve been pre-occupied, having set up a new blog for my weight loss journey. Too Fat For A Broomstick I was hoping that my housemate and I would be able to go out the back for a…

Earlier today (yesterday) I promised myself that I wouldn’t do a year in review. I’ve broken that already on FB, but I refuse to break that on here. If someone wants to see how the year has gone, they can read through the past blogs. I didn’t want to do…

She stood alone upon the rocks…and I said good-bye

December 29, 2012

The river stopped short of the ocean. The water had a stale smell, not at all like the paintings of memories. I did not walk through the river like I did time before. My feet eventually found the sand, but it came with no relief. Years spent at the beach…

Quiet Contemplation

December 28, 2012

We’ve been in my home town for nearly a week now, arriving last Sunday. An eleven-and-a-bit hour drive coupled with a “Captain’s Log” on facebook, and we arrived at my mothers in one piece, and only forgetting the ibuprofen. It’s been a chock-a-block week, something to do every day. It’s been…
