Imbolc and a Bardic Chair

The wheel has turned and we slowly emerge from Winter once more. Spring is perhaps my favourite season, The new fresh life always seems so vibrant. I am not anti Winter though, far from it. Winter has a beauty all of its own and without the calming nurturing dark, there could be no vibrant Spring.As …

Follow the signs

Once again I find a long period of time between posts here, and once again I have felt my hand being nudged by the unseen forces. I wrote in a previous post about how you shouldn't ignore the signs from the Gods, and yet here I was about to do just that. We are approaching …

The corner of my eye

It will come a s no surprise to my Pagan friends when I say I believe in Fairies. Or perhaps more precisely I believe in the Fae folk.

Back to the future..

We're back! I wrote in my previous blog post about how I had found it difficult to keep motivated during the Covid restrictions. I was really feeling the need to meet with like minded people.

The spoken word has taken over from the written word for a while. Mirroring the oral tradition of Druids of old perhaps? However I do not want to ignore …

A Path of peace..

There has been much in the news recently about Racism, Black Lives Matter and the demonstrations, protests or riots (depending on your viewpoint). It saddens me greatly that we still need these protests, In fact it angers me that racism is still a thing. It should anger you too. People say to me that racism …

Land Sea and Sky.. and Cows.

Every year for the past four years I have walked the South Downs Way (or part of it at least) It has been my annual re connection to the land around me. This year I had planned walk a different route, Still just me and a tent, but a different part of the country. Several …
