I'm taking the opportunity of the time of year to cleanse some spiritual tools that I use. It's a good 'dark' time of year ritual, now we're entering the winter months here in the UK at Samhain.

The sword or athame you see in the picture is partly to symbolise the air element - clarity, communication.

For me, this particular 'wavy blade' or 'flame blade' appeared to me in a dream. I hadn't know they existed before. I had been telling a friend about the dream and it turns out they had one! It has much associated symbolism but my favourite is the serpentine kind - of change, divination, early dark Goddesses and truth telling.

The other item is a carved stone brought back from Peru with a moon engraved on it. They are called 'kuyas chumpi' and are used to work energetically with the body. In my case, I use it for female, lunar, hidden energies.

The charging plate they're resting on is selenite crystal.

What're your Samhain rituals this year?

I went to the pub for sketching and wine with a friend 🧑

I was struck by the beauty and sadness of the final rose before the cold weather started to turn it.

I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out, I think I might be learning something finally πŸ™ƒ

Autumn leaf prints with water-based ink πŸ‚πŸπŸƒ

It's a lovely witchy activity for this time of year - walking around that park looking for complete dryish leaves ... getting the inks out ... covering the leaf in ink then rubbing it on the back with a spoon.

I then touched it up with a bit of dark grey pen ink.

I'm slowly trying to fill the multimedia sketch book that I bought in lockdown! πŸ™ƒ and of course continue my tree obsession..

Listening to long Meg's wisdom.

She tells me that she knows how to keep my feet anchored to earth, stop me flying away. She made a long, dark plait of hair, deep into the ground.

She spoke to me with the voice of a grandmother, clear and firm and loving.

Long Meg and her daughters, is a stone circle near Penrith in Cumbria. Legend has it that a bad man cast a spell, but she had the last laugh - enduring for more than 5000 years and counting.

Athene is the Goddess I very first worked with and who i consider my Patron Goddess.

She's skilled in diplomacy, crafts, and magic. She's straight clear in her speech. When she has righteous anger, she shakes her spear to bring justice!

Athene's Spear is the name of my newsletter, which I send out quarterly around September, December, March, and June.

It includes information on upcoming workshops, reviews of magickal books, or simple nature magick spells.

I got one of my poems published 😁

produced an anthology called 'In Praise of Despair' amongst many other interesting offerings.

I was given a 5 year memory book by a lovely friend a couple of years ago, in which I started writing a haiku a day to remember the themes.

They talk about my cat, the weather, shifting moods, loneliness, joy, spiritual connection...

I put some together to talk about mental health journeys, and 'Recovery' was chosen. It's a hopeful few lines about the stepwise return of faculties after an episode of poor mental health. Also, the jewels that can be gathered in darkness.

The book is available on Amazon under 'Beyond the Veil Press'

And lovelies.

I spent ages looking at 50s hair videos and went for the scarf due to very unruly hair!

I'm really enjoying the garden this year. It took a few years after covid hideousness to get back into it.

The apples have been surprisingly abundant, I made jars of spiced apple chutney. There were enough gooseberries for a vat of fool. The tomatoes are starting to ripen.

I'd forgotten the excitement of reaping the harvest.

Beautiful Gaia, chilling in my kitchen with the orchids and plants.

I love her vast, quiet magic.

She smiles, she sings, she endures, she shakes off the oppressors and starts again

She says, 'give me your blood and your tears, your rage, and your love, I'm big enough for all of it.'

I was treated to at the weekend

Out on the Norfolk savannah, in the rain and sunshine of an english summer, on golfing buggies.

It was the closest thing I've come to being on safari in a long time!
