  • Another of Those “About Me” Posts

    What’s your Path?
    I am a Hedgewitch. Meaning I am a shamanic practitioner of folk magick (that’s the short explanation). My spirituality is Celtic/Anglo-Saxon Paganism. I started in Wicca like many do, but have moved further away from it more and more of time. I am not however a Wicca-basher like many non-Wiccan Witches are.
    Do you have an altar?
    Sometimes I use an altar and sometimes not. An altar is simply a workspace to me. I have laid out elaborate altars on [...]

  • The Square Peg

    I have often thought that
    If only I had been born into a tribal society
    I would have been given a costume and drum
    A place and role in society
    And happily spent my life as a shaman serving my community
    Instead I am stuck working retail
    Moving through Western society as awkwardly
    As a square peg jammed into a round hole
    And practicing my spirituality behind closed doors

  • Compost and Stone

    Last night I dreamed I was sitting in a grove with a lineaged Traditional Witch or Wiccan.
    I am not sure which Path she was on exactly, dreams are like that, but I knew she was hard-nosed Traditional.
    We were discussing our different world views and Paths.
    She leaned against a large grey boulder or small standing stone and said:
    “My Path is like this stone, strong and old; a solid foundation upon which to build.”
    Then she pointed to a pile of leaf litter [...]

  • Me

    I will be me
    Unequivocally
    Always
    And in every situation
    No audience
    No following
    No friends
    Or family
    Will make me be
    Anything other than
    Me
    I am not a one dimensional character
    I am an onion
    I have many layers
    It may take time
    For them all to see
    All that is me
    Sometimes happy
    Sometimes sad
    Sometimes compassionate
    Sometimes stark raving mad
    Though I am a human being
    And thus I will change and grow
    And often be a different me
    I will still always
    Be me
    But always and forever
    I will be me
    Consistently
    With integrity
    I will be me

  • Musings About Life and the Land

    I am a farm girl; I “get” the lambing season at Imbolg as I have spent many sleepless nights in the barn, praying to Brighid as I midwife livestock. I don’t need to be reminded of where my food comes from, I have grown it!
    I don’t need a lesson to tell me how to experience the elements, I have lived in them, and I have worked in them. I have been up to my knees in frozen mud and in [...]
