Continue reading →: The Thinning VeilI’m finally really seeing and appreciating the connection with ANZAC Day and Samhain. In Australia and New Zealand, ANZAC Day is the day we commemorate those who went to war, those who fought and died, those who may or may not have returned home. From an Australian perspective, it feels…

Continue reading →: Beginning the DescentI had a post ready to go about the darkness, and diving within, and about the waning year. At least, that’s what I intended it to be. Looking back on it, it sounds incredibly ranty; an explanation or justification for why I am the way I am (not hormonal at all…)…

Continue reading →: How I found my Pagan PathA question posted within my spiritual community recently asked how we came to our pagan pathway, and whether it changed our lives. Personally, the date I remember of saying, “enough is enough” with Catholicism was March 28, 1999. I was 14. I was listening to Silverchair’s “Neon Ballroom” album, sitting…

Continue reading →: I acknowledge…In a complete Spiritual sense, sometimes you’re just not meant to leave. Sometimes you believe your path working with something in particular (an element, or location, or people, or Deity etc) has come to an end for various reasons, and when that happens you may find yourself drawn back there…

Continue reading →: Creating an internal grove
Something I’ve been exploring over the last two months or so is working with and creating an internal grove. Many of us live in suburbia and for whatever reason cannot get out into nature. We may be in the heart of the city, we may have issues with anxiety, it…

Death is one of the few constant things in this world. Everything and everyone, anything that experiences birth will eventually experience death. And as I’ve constantly been told over the last few weeks, we all react and grieve differently when someone we love dies. Personally, I believe in an afterlife.…

Continue reading →: When the path you’ve chosen “doesn’t feel right”With so many branches under the “Pagan Umbrella” it can be overwhelming, especially to someone brand new to this path, as to where to start their learning. Even those of us who have walked this path for a while, we are often lovers of learning and want to approach each…

Continue reading →: Blessings of the SolsticeBlessings of the Solstice to all! The Longest Day has arrived and astrologically will be at 9.44pm tonight (in Sydney). It’s a time to celebrate the sunshine, the height of Summer, the warmth of the Sun. My understanding is that it’s traditional to light bonfires to represent the Sun during…

Continue reading →: Kings of Oak and Holly on ContractIt all began with an image a friend shared on Facebook. I love the story of the Kings of Oak and Holly, of them battling for control of each half of the year. But this image got me thinking: does the story still “work”? It’s something we seem to do…

I saw it from all angles – my large figure falling backwards off the dock, the smack, water droplets flying before enclosing my form within itself. The smile on her face. I did not…

Continue reading →: 31 Days of Devotion – FinaleI’ve been holding off on completing this until I knew what I wanted to say. I didn’t want to simply copy and paste from my previous 30D0D. I wanted to write the right words, find the right way to say how important Herne is to me, just how amazing…
Hello,
