As we feel the lingering effects of last week’s full pink moon, here is a painting I finished yesterday, started this Imbolc and inspired by the full snow moon at the time.

Around the edges of the canvas are the words full moon in traditional script and language of our indigenous countries of the UK:

• lleuad lawn (Welsh)
• full mune (Scots)
• gealach lan (Irish Gaelic)
• full moon (English)

Often we can forget about our own indigenous identity and culture and lean into others, as they can be equally interesting and meaningful. This work is an attempt to bring the draw back to the tradition and ritual of the isles and land that we inhabit and work with, whilst offering gratitude to Grandmother moon 🌕

This is my first painting in years and I hope to continue creating more art…

Let’s celebrate Friday the 13th and relinquish the fear that has surrounded this date for too long! 💜🌕

Today is Friday 13th.

For years, people have been telling us it's unlucky, but BP (before patriarchy)
Friday the 13th was the day of the Goddess.

It was considered a day to worship the Divine
Feminine - your innate SHE Power -and to honour the cycles of creation and death and rebirth.

It was considered a day to manifest, honour creativity and to celebrate beauty, wisdom and nourishment.

The number 13 holds an extremely potent feminine energy and is considered to be the number of death and rebirth, creation, fertility and blood.

This is because we have 13 moon cycles a year and the average female also experiences 13 periods per year.

Women, let's claim it back. ALL OF IT.
Starting today.

Make today the day you do something that nourishes and honours the feminine.

Tomorrow is Imbolc. The mid point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. Seeds are stirring in the belly of Mother Earth, ready to bring forth new growth, as the light increases and the returning sun starts to warm the ground 🌱
Tomorrow evening we also have the Full Snow Moon, with new beginnings on the horizon and a push to start making things happen that you have been dreaming of…🌕✨

We had a lovely penultimate session today of the Munay Ki Rites, covering the Lineage Rites: The Daykeeper, Wisdomkeeper and Earthkeeper rites.

I feel so honoured to share these wisdom teachings and pass on the rites to others in ceremony 🙏🏻🌍 🌱💜

This reminds us that while the calendar urges us to start fresh in January, the natural world is still in a phase of deep rest. Its significance lies in validating the instinct to slow down, turn inward, and honor winter’s quieter rhythm instead of forcing growth. It invites a gentler, more nature‑aligned understanding of beginnings, one that starts in the roots before it ever reaches the bloom.

Shamanic Journey Invitation:
“In the quiet of winter’s deep rest, what wisdom do the roots of my being want to show me about the beginnings that are forming unseen?”

This question invites you to journey into the hidden, gestating places within yourself to discover the subtle beginnings that are taking shape beneath the surface long before they bloom.

“The calendar may shout ‘begin,’ but the Earth whispers ‘rest.’ In winter’s stillness, we don’t rush to bloom, we tend the roots, dream the seeds, and trust the slow magic of becoming.

As I sit in this liminal space, as the Gregorian New Year approaches, I have been contemplating and tending the seeds sown this winter and wondering what they might grow in 2026.

Wishing you all much peace and joy for the year ahead and may you walk your path with purpose and authenticity 🌱💜🙏🏻✨

This blessing asks the ancestors and the living earth to cradle you during the final days of the year, easing burdens that have settled in your body and rekindling warmth where your spirit has felt chilled. It also invites subtle, soul-level blessings, carried by moonlight, animal messengers, and the deep stillness of winter to arrive gently and support your renewal.

“May the last week of the year
be held by the ancestors and the earth, soften what’s been heavy in your bones, warm what’s been cold in your spirit, and bring quiet blessings carried by moonlight, owl wings, and the stillness of winter roots.”
