Continue reading →: Australian Wiccan Conference 2019The 35th Australian Wiccan Conference was held this weekend in Bacchus Marsh, Victoria, organised by the Pagan Collective of Victoria. This was the second I’ve been to, the first being on the Hawkesbury River in 2012. I was drawn to the workshop line up knowing I wouldn’t know which to…

Continue reading →: Non-Binary PaganismThis article is going to be speaking of Witchcraft within the Pagan umbrella because, due to my personal practice, it’s all intertwined. As a polytheist, I don’t separate the two. With more and more of us discovering that we don’t fit within the binary of standard gender – that is,…

Continue reading →: A year and a dayThis calendar year of 2019 is all evolving around the theme of “patience” for me. As I mentioned in my previous post, in 12 months I’ve had two psychologists (in essence) throw their hands up with an inability to assist me with my problems, and I’ve had three weight loss…

Continue reading →: The Awen I singFirst and foremost, I wish to extend my thanks and gratitude to the Wind Harp Seed Group of Adelaide, for coordinating their first Druid Camp over the Easter break. I wish to extend my thanks and gratitude to Kristoffer Hughes, Cerri Lee and Dave (Damh the Bard) for coming over…

Continue reading →: Herne as the Oak KingLitha is at the end of this week, so I thought I would write (another) post about the Oak and Holly Kings, and why I associate Herne with the Oak King. Herne has a connection to the Oak due to how his death came about, hanging himself from it. Some…

Continue reading →: The Gods and their (native) animalsWhen we think of animal totems, we traditionally think of those that are common or native to the Northern Hemisphere – the stag, the deer, the bear, the crow, the raven. When you live on a continent where an animal is an introduced species, sometimes trying to work with that…

Continue reading →: The Oracle of NehalenniaThe Oracle of Nehalennia is the child of Bela Síol, an intuitive medium, spiritual coach and advisor from Brazil who is now based out of New York, USA. Nehalennia is the Goddess of the North Sea, a Dutch Goddess that was localised to the Rhine River region of the Netherlands…

Continue reading →: The Changing Relationship with Divine and with SelfSince “coming out” as non-binary, since changing my name within my community, I’ve entered this new level of self discovery that I wasn’t ultimately prepared for. Having some-what of an identity crisis at 34 wasn’t something I expected to happen, nor was I expecting what was the follow: so how does…

Continue reading →: Pride Month – I am RowanI knew in high school at 14 that I wasn’t male. I knew I wasn’t female, either. In a world before Google I didn’t know anyone could be anything other than male, female, trans or intersex. I didn’t know that what I was feeling had a name, or was even…

Continue reading →: Druids Down Under National Gathering – EisteddfodI am the stones, the earth and the bones… I wasn’t sure what to expect upon arrival, but I was soon overwhelmed by the feeling of familiarity. I felt like I had come home. The natural debris of fallen leaves and pine needles upon the ground beneath the towering eucalypts…

Continue reading →: Finding the light switchMost people who follow a Northern Hemispheric based bath see Winter as the ‘death season’, of the Crone, where deciduous trees become bare and snow covers the earth. In Australia, Summer is our ‘death season’ and Summer in the Riverina is different to Summer in Sydney. It’s not as humid,…

Continue reading →: In between Maiden and MotherI am 33 years old and regardless to never having children/can’t have children/don’t want children, I see myself as a Mother. This really hit home when Augie got bit by that bloody snake she chose to play with, and I cried hysterically with her in my lap (in a carrier)…
