We wait in the dark for the light to appear, Mother, give birth to our brother the Sun. We wait in the dark for the light to appear, Mother, give birth to our brother the Sun! We wait. We watch. Out of the cold comes the promise of newness. We wait. We watch. Out of… Continue reading Celebrating Midwinter
Originally I wasn’t going to celebrate Samhain this year. With the recent passing of my Poppy I wasn’t sure if I was ready. I know this is a silly thought, as what better way for a Pagan to honour and celebrate her ancestors than on a holiday specifically for them? Because being over 1,000km from the… Continue reading Samhain (A toast to our Ancestors)
One of the topics on the Pagans Down Under blog project is ‘Favourite Craft Tool.’ I mentioned a lot of my tools in the ‘altar’ topic post, and to be honest with you, I don’t really have a favourite. In my actual practice, I don’t use a lot of tools. I’m so used to not… Continue reading Tools of the Craft

From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one, When rocked to rest on their mother’s breast, As… Continue reading ‘The Cloud’ by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Then I moved to suburban Sydney, far far away from the… Continue reading An Urban Altar
I feel as though this post will be written over a series of days as resolutions is something I’ve never really understood. I’m sure I’ve mentioned previously, but for me my new year begins at Litha, not when the Gregorian calender clicks over. I also don’t understand why many of us make the same resolutions at… Continue reading Welcoming the new year
I’d like to thank Herne the Hunter, the Pagan Blog Project, and someone at work for pushing me out of so many comfort bubbles this year, I’ve reached a point in life I never thought I’d reach (so never really aspired to get here). This year I’ve come to terms with infertility, having PMDD, and… Continue reading A year that was
