  • Herne the Hunter: A Short Story

    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… Continue reading

  • Midsummer and the Waning Year

    As Pagans, a large majority of us (not all) feel pulled to a God or Goddess. I found mine, as I’ve gone on and on about before! Of late, rather than me pulling or hunting for Herne, I feel him… Continue reading

  • Sovereignty

    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.… 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… Continue reading

  • Meeting a Goddess

    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… Continue reading

    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… Continue reading

  • A New Chapter Begins

    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… 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… 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… Continue reading

  • Within the drum beat of Mother Earth, and running barefoot through the Forest

    Last Sunday I joined friends in a Native American (style) drum making workshop. It was an interesting day, to say the least. But at the end of it, I came home with a gorgeous drum! Canadian Cedar hoop and Raw… Continue reading

  • Full Moon Ponderings

    When I first began practicing, I followed Wicca. Not for any particular reason, more because I was introduced to Scott Cunningham and, at the time, it was the only book I was aware of for beginners. There are so many… Continue reading

  • Choosing a name

    It’s such a hard process, choosing a name for yourself. I understand why soon-to-be parents have trouble choosing a name for their children. It’s something you will be stuck with, so you better like it. At least when it comes… Continue reading
