I am (somewhat) out of the broom closet at work! Yay! I had forgotten what it was like to come out of the broom closet. I’ve never really been in it – being Pagan is not something I’ve ever really tried to hide. Alas, starting a new job with new people (and a few from… Continue reading Out of the broom closet
Last week I mentioned working on a novel. The 26,000 words (so far) have been printed, and I’ve since re-read through the story for the first time since 2012. I would love some completely fresh eyes to read over this. I have asked in the past, people raise their hand, then it becomes a “oh… Continue reading What’s normal?

I’m in the height of PMDD… Continue reading Just because it was said in a book…

Twelve years on, I’m not entirely sure if they were voices from my mind (like I thought they were at the time) or voices from spirits… Continue reading To Hear, to See, to Know
A woman stands in the city park amid early-morning walkers, and faces the sun. She kicks off her shoes, wiggles her toes in the grass and raises her arms. “Herne the Hunter, Lord of the Wild and King of Windsor Forest! Hear your Daughter’s call!” I fell in love with Herne the Hunter in 2003.… Continue reading Herne the Hunter
