With the upcoming Solar Eclipse in Scorpio on the 14th of this month, I will be undertaking a ritual to “embrace the dark side”. I am feeling the dark side of my self today, and I’m struggling to breathe. It’s most likely because I am tired from a busy weekend…

Blessed Beltaine! I have made a wreath of fake ivy and wild flowers to go around my hair. My friends will just need to excuse the masking tape I’ve used to tie everything together, I couldn’t find my wire clippers. In honour of Samhain and my ancestors from the northern…

Continue reading →: Coming to Terms with Reality
So something seriously weird has happened of late, and it appears that I’ve accepted the role the project I work for has to play. This is a really big thing, given that I was ready to walk out after last week. A bit more detail: my Muggle and I have…

I ended up leaving work early yesterday. I don’t normally struggle with Daylight Savings leaping an hour forward, but after an exhausting weekend, I was a wreck yesterday. My defenses couldn’t stay up against the shit my mind throws at me. In the mornings I’ve begun working with, what Raven Digitalus refers to as…

Continue reading →: Hearing Herne’s Call
I’ve been in two minds over whether or not to post this on here. But given there is so little on Herne online, about what he’s really about, I’m posting this for others who feel drawn to him. This is for my fellow Pagans who hear Herne’s call to them,…

This weekend past was the AWC – the Australian Wiccan Conference, in its 29th year. It was my first, and I’m already looking forward to next years! I had such a fantastic time!! A weekend on an island to ourselves and the elements (and staff, obviously) on the Hawksbury River. I…

Continue reading →: Final Rite of Dedication
I really want to show off my new tattoo. I’m not someone who jumps at a tattoo for the sake of it – as it’s been nine years between my first and second. My first is a simple pentacle on my back below my neck, and this makes my second.…

Every now and then you need to stop and feel. You need to stop and feel the shades of grass between your toes and the earth beneath your feet. Feel the suns warmth on your skin, warming your soul. Feel the rush of wind through your hair. And then you…

Something happened, and I’m welcoming it with open arms. Time frame wise, I’m saying it happened once I turned twenty-eight earlier this month. But it all happened within days, weeks of each other. Within a few weeks of each other, I became a Dedicant and Daughter of Herne the Hunter;…

Continue reading →: Honouring the Past, and Embracing the Present
I’m happy in Sydney. I love living here. With the exception of the humidity, I love the weather. I love feeling the sunshine on my skin in August amongst the chill of the air. I love seeing rain, and tilting my head back and opening my mouth, letting the drops…

Continue reading →: The Journey of (medicated) Self Discovery
After being free from them for almost three years, I gave in. I went to my Doctor and said I needed help. I can’t do it on my own anymore, not now that I’m working full time. As a result, I’m on new anti-depressants. My mood swings had gotten so…
Hello,
I’m Rowan
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.
