Intuitive Crystal Master/Teacher (L4), Reiki Master/Teacher, Pellowah, Aromatherapy, Massage Therapies, Readings, Courses, Workshops and more.

All ages supported. I specialise in supporting your healing journey with a flourish of I have always been pulled towards crystals since my first stone, a rose quartz tumble around the age of 10. Added to which an obsession with magick, witches, ghosts and potion making in the garden since even younger. I grew up with ‘imaginary friends’, seeing and feeling much that others didn’t and naturally drawing myself to animal companions over people. As a teenager, in addition to my other loves of music, horses and art, I read scarily accurate Tarot for friends and never really fitted in at school and the world in general. I only wish I could have reassured my younger self that not fitting in is the best thing in the universe. In my early 20’s I broke my lower back but it wasn’t until some ten years later that it was properly diagnosed and eventually I was operated on. The pain was immense but the drugs were worse. Luckily I was part of a mediumship circle and I was recommended to three wonderful people; a crystal and energy healer and two spiritual healers. Working with them on alternate weeks my pain became more manageable as did my mobility. My sleep improved dramatically and I found a sense of peace in the chaos. I was now off the worst of the painkillers and my head became clearer. Thankfully I'm mostly better and back on my surfboards and my broom and in the mosh pit at gigs! I qualified as a Crystal Healing Practitioner and a Reiki Master/Teacher a year later and began practising to help friends, colleagues, pets and my horse. They in turn taught me so much too. My crystal connection grew as did my connection with energy and Spirit work. In 2016 I finally took that leap of faith that meant SaltwaterGaia was born. I was caught by the Universe after suffering burnout, anxiety and stress, and thus began my journey back to health and authenticity. Crystals and energy work are my passion and I trained and qualified in several massage modalities and aromatherapy along the way. I received further attunements and training in USUI Equine Reiki (with Equine Communication) and USUI Animal Reiki; both at Master/Teacher level. I went on to be awarded further certificates in Animal Healing and Communication to practitioner level. As a sensitive I work wholistically. I use my life experiences and additional tools to hold space and help others do the same; align themselves with their highest potential working. I work in person and absently to empower and start the healing, so the body can continue the process . Although not part of the plan, in 2017 I organically began writing and running Crystal courses and workshops alongside USUI Reiki attunement courses. My Crystal Magick course has supported many people on their crystal journey. Serendipity brought me, in 2017, to meet Philip Permutt (The Crystal Healer) and further training with him up to Crystal Healing Master/Teacher level licensed me to teach his Crystal Healing courses too. I now offer several energy healing and massage that all connect with crystal energy. Signature Treatments include my Resting Witch Face facials, Crystal/Tarot readings and Lave Shell Bliss massage.   Every month I run Crystal Club, Crystal Meditation Magick and Moon Magick. Contact me to chat about bespoke talks and events such as my Psychic Parlour Games to utilising my services at retreats and weddings etc. I’m pleased to announce the launch of SaltwaterStones, so you can choose from a boutique selection of hand picked and ethically sourced crystals after your treatment or workshop or simply book an appointment to view. I hold an extended DBS certificate, current First Aid at Work certificate and FHS certificate. I'm very proud of all of my qualifications and happy to discuss these with new clients.

Hail and welcome the Maiden of Spring!

For today we embrace the Vernal Equinox and official first day of Spring. At this point in the wheel of the year, day and night are of equal length and in perfect equilibrium. The Earth is coming to life as the sun gains strength and brings us warmth and longer days. This celebration of balance is also known as the Spring Equinox and Ostara.

Blessed Autumn Equinox to our sisters and brothers under southern skies.

The Spring Equinox is a time to celebrate, with wild abandon, the beauty and power of youth, the rebirth of life and the hope and potential of the coming season.

The Goddess as the Maiden is represented by the Hare and the Egg and several Goddesses are linked to Eostre such as Persephone, Freya, Aphrodite and Gaia.

𝕍𝔼ℝℕ𝔸𝕃 𝔼ℚ𝕌𝕀ℕ𝕆𝕏 ℂℝ𝕐𝕊𝕋𝔸𝕃𝕊 …..
Look to the colour of flowers for inspiration: amethyst, citrine, carnelian, moss agate, rose quartz etc., or choose from one of my favourites here.

STAUROLITE - bears the solar cross and connects to nature and elemental magick. Staurolite is a luck bringer that supports and protects ritual workings and sacred days, especially Ostara.

DANBURITE - offers a bright clear connection to the Lord and Lady, our guides and those in Spirit. It encourages socialising and merriment to get us back into the World after the darkness of Winter.

FIRE MERLINITE - the element of fire and the stone of Merlin combine to bring luck, abundance and magick. It brings a healthy dose of optimism and encourages us to Carpe Diem.

CORNISH SERPENTINE - encapsulates the energy, truth and wisdom of the serpent; an animal that straddles the veil and is continually renewed. It weaves us to the ancient magicks of the Ley Lines that crisscross the UK and the World connecting us to Stone Circles and Dolmens.

IMPERIAL TOPAZ - for the Sun God! It embodies universal connection, growth and power and a feeling of oneness.

ℂ𝔼𝕃𝔼𝔹ℝ𝔸𝕋𝕀𝕆ℕ𝕊 …..
HOT CROSS BUNS - represent a Celtic Cross, the four equal armed solar cross of balance within the circle. You have two Equinoxes crossed by the two Solstices, the four seasons, the four Sacred Directions of North, East, South and West and the five elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water with Spirit at the Centre.

ACTIVITIES -
✫ Plant seeds to grow your own herb garden
✫ Create a nature mandala
✫ Paint and decorate eggs (or stones)
✫ Get outside and talk to the tree spirits
✫ See if you can spy a wild hare and send your wish to the Goddess.

May the magick of the Equinox bring you balance …..

Greetings my lovelies …..

The Equinox gateway is open and we are currently in the velvety-soft darkness of the Dark Moon until the wee small hours of tomorrow. The New Moon in Pisces joins us that at 01.22!

Dreamy Pisces is as deep as the ocean with emotions and intuition to match. This New Moon speaks to us all with a big shift in energies enabling us to embrace big changes.

ℂℝ𝕐𝕊𝕋𝔸𝕃𝕊 …..
BLACK MOONSTONE - evokes the soft, enveloping energies of the Dark Moon and the gentle positivity of the New Moon, guided by the wisdom of the Crone. It holds space for you to shed and emotionally detach, yet also enjoy the journey and be present in the moment.

GARNIERITE - is the true name for the green variety of Moonstone. It vibrates with the energies of love, light, and compassion, reminding us of our inner divinity. A strong nuturer it links directly with the Moon, Gaia and Neptune, ruler of Pisces.

GODDESS STONE/MENALITE - no your eyes do not deceive you, I did feature this beauty just a few days ago. She was very much calling me and encouraging me to step out of safe and predictable suggestions. Menalite connects us all to our feminine centre; yup, even the blokes and strengthens our connection to Gaia. Its energy feels like swishing your feet into the sand so the waves don’t knock you over.

ORCA AGATE - playfully harnesses the energies of the ocean and seas and brings with it a sense of joy inner peace that washes over like a healing wave. Orca Agate promotes communication and understanding between all sentient beings and boosts self-confidence and courage in our abilities to connect on non-verbal levels.

AQUAMARINE WITH TOURMALINE - also known as the Mermaid Stone works with the ebbs and flows of our ocean of emotions. Tourmaline acts as an anchor point to stop us drifting too far.

ℕ𝔼𝕎 𝕄𝕆𝕆ℕ 𝕋𝔸ℝ𝕆𝕋 ℝ𝕀𝕋𝕌𝔸𝕃 …..
In Tarot, Pisces is represented by The Moon (XVIII); a card of intuition, fear, self-deceit, illusion, mysteries and deceptions. It suggests that not all is as it appears to be on the surface and urges you to ripple the pool and look deeper.

You will need:
A candle
A crystal - choose one mentioned above or Aquamarine, a typical Pisces crystal
A small bowl or shell or water

Light your candle and begin to centre yourself by focusing on your breathing. When you feel ready touch the water so it ripples and focus on your chosen crystal; visualise a ray of light from the crystal connecting to your Brow Chakra.

Find The Moon card in your chosen Tarot deck and place it face down as the significator. Shuffle the remaining deck, focusing on an intention for this New Moon, then lay one random card to the left and a second to the right.

The card on the left illustrates what can support our New Moon intentions. The card on the right represents what action we might take to activate our intention.

Send thanks up to La Luna for her guidance.

𝔸ℕ𝔻 𝔽𝕀ℕ𝔸𝕃𝕃𝕐 …..
Crystals LOVE a moon bathe, full or new are both fine options. So don’t forget to pop those crystals, divination and magickal tools out for a restorative and energising bath and take the opportunity to enchant some moonwater too!

Soak up those mysterious moon vibes …..

Greetings and salutations all …..

With the Vernal Equinox just around the corner I’m sure, like me, you’re spotted all the signs of Spring emerging.

From wood garlic to wood anemones and from frothy blackthorn blossoms to coconut scented gorse, there’s a riot of colour and growth happening right now.

I’ve found the hedgerows here about have an abundance of my favourite sticky little plant. Cleavers also go by the names Goose Grass, Sticky W***y, Madder’s Cousin and Catchw**d.

Cleavers are a moon-aligned herb that offer a gentle yet powerful lymphatic tonic. To step into spring with a little vibrancy they support sore throats, clear de-puffed skin and cleansing emotional stagnation.

Although considered a bit of a noxious w**d around the world it is a plant where you can use the whole and it’s little white flowers do smell of honey. Cleavers are from the same family as coffee and contain caffeine. The fruit bodies can be roasted and ground as a coffee substitute too.

ℂ𝕃𝔼𝔸𝕍𝔼ℝ𝕊 𝕁𝕌𝕀ℂ𝔼 is simply made by adding clean, fresh stems to your water bottle or infuse as a tea. Steep in water overnight to drink the next day. Cleaver water has a mild cucumber flavour, so very refreshing but invigorating. It is said to treat tumors and engorgement. You can also add the herb to any fresh smoothies or juices you make.

Roughly chop a handful into a litre of cold spring water. Let it steep overnight in the fridge. Strain and sip throughout the day to cool the body, move lymph and deeply hydrate.

The shoots of the plant can also be eaten raw, or cooked such as adding to soups or to make a pesto. I’ve made a cleavers and wild garlic pesto and it was deelish.

If prepared as a pulp you can use as a poultice or a watered down essence helps with skin inflammations and irritations, to damp a fevered brow brining down the temperature.

Taken internally it helps with cystitis, improving liver function and as a diuretic by supporting the lymphatic system. Studies have also shown that Cleavers has the ability to bring down high blood pressure and is often used to help with sleeplessness and insomnia.

Cleavers also works as a simple tisane, sweetened with a little honey if needed.

N.B. Cleavers can cause irritation in some people and can have a laxative effect.

Have you worked with Cleavers yet ….?

Bright Blessings my lovelies ……

Today is a celebration of all the amazing women in our lives; past and present but most importantly ….. YOU!

The theme this year is GIVE TO GAIN!

Give To Gain encourages a mindset of generosity and collaboration by emphasising the power of reciprocity and support. When people, organisations, and communities give generously so opportunities and support for women increase. Giving is not a subtraction, it's intentional multiplication.

When women thrive, we all rise.

International Women's Day (IWD) has been around for over a hundred years, as have many of the issues still impacting women's advancement. Since 1911, IWD belongs to all who care about women's equality. Celebrate women's achievement. Raise awareness about discrimination. Take action to forge gender parity. All IWD activity is valid, that's what makes IWD so inclusive.

Today I’ll have close some of my favourite crystalline beauties to hand for empowerment, encouragement and healing …..

ℂ ℝ 𝕐 𝕊 𝕋 𝔸 𝕃 𝕊 …..
GODDESS ONYX - this rarer beauty has a strong protective quality that purifies negative essences. White Onyx represents truth, purity and serenity. It helps us find our magickal centre for focus, purpose and clarity.

GODDESS STONE (MENALITE) - is a mineraloid Opal also known as Faery Stone and, ironically, Menalite. Goddess Stone boosts connection to the sacred feminine, Gaia and the Moon Goddess. If you feel your hidden talents need uncovering this is a beautiful energy to work with.

RAINBOW MOONSTONE - embodies the Divine Feminine. The moon governs the tides and the emotions so the crystalline embodiment of female energy and empowerment! I’ve specifically chosen this stunning Rainbow Moonstone sphere for its close associations with Labradorite, the stone of magick.

PAUA SHELL - Venus emerges from the seashell in Botticelli’s famous ‘Birth of Venus’ echoed by the incredible colour palette of Paua Shell. The shimmery minerals within build strength and power and every superhero needs a shield! Paua is a symbol of deep feminine wisdom and powerful vision that enhances intuition.

I’m thrilled that today also coincides beautifully with our Reiki Soundbath and we get to share with and support each other.

Who will you be celebrating ….?

Greetings and Salutions …..

At Piran’s Day blessings to my Cornish friends, clients, and students.

According to tradition, St Piran was an Irish monk who arrived in Cornwall around the 5th or 6th century. Legend says he was thrown into the sea tied to a millstone by people who objected to his religion.

However, Instead of drowning, he floated across the Celtic Sea and landed on the north coast of Cornwall at Perranporth.

St Piran is also remembered as the patron saint of tin miners. One of the most famous Cornish legends says he discovered how to smelt tin after noticing white metal flowing from black rocks in his fire. The white metal represented tin and the black background represented the rock, which is said to have inspired the Cornish flag.

For many the day is about bringing communities together by celebrating Cornish Heritage and supporting local culture and traditions.

You can join in the celebrations with Cornish Pasties, Saffron Buns, Cream Tea (jam first of course) washed down with Cornish mead, ales and ciders.

Gool Peran Lowen!

Full Crow Moon blessings …..

On Sunday Liane and I are hosting a Reiki Soundbath at her fabulous studio surrounded by open countryside.

We have a few spaces remaining if you’d like to join us in this peaceful location to share in these harmonic tones and healing energies.

This Sunday morning 8th March, we invite you to join us at The Buddha Barn for ‘Self care Sunday’.

Everyone experiences a soundbath differently, these are just some of the known benefits based on 20 years of research by the British Academy of Sound Therapy:

💕 allowing your brain to ‘rest’ at a lower brain wave frequency
💕 recalibrating the flow of your energy
💕 a fresh perspective on an issue/challenge in your life, an ‘aha’ light bulb moment 💡
💕 relief from tinitus (temporary)
💕 relief from pain in your physical being (temporary)

I hold four Usui Reiki Shinpiden Master/Teacher qualifications channel this beautiful healing frequency to infuse and help hold the space. I then further work intuitively 1:1 on each participant to help with issues on the physical, spiritual, mental and emotional planes.

The result is relaxation, rebalance and a reset for the week ahead.

Want to join us? We have limited spaces so for questions and bookings please contact Liane direct …..

Grand Rising all …..

As February turns into March and La Luna waxes we prepare for the Crow Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo. She joins us tomorrow at 11.38.

This Virgo Eclipse is ripping off the blindfold. No more burying your head in the sand—whether through distraction, fantasy, or your vice of choice. The current energy is a big, cosmic wake-up call. It’s time to take charge of your destiny.

𝕃𝕌ℕ𝔸ℝ 𝔼ℂ𝕃𝕀ℙ𝕊𝔼 …..
She brings with her a total Lunar Eclipse where the Moon moves through the outer, fainter part of the earth’s shadow. Eclipses mark the concealment and revelation of what was once hidden. The culmination point of our eclipse portal comes in to help us to close out one era to step into a new one.

ℕ𝔸𝕄𝔼 …..
The March lunation is named for my Spirit Animal, the Crow, signifying the period when crows return at the end of their migration. As well as their ‘caws’ heralding the end of Winter they represent standing with a foot on both sides of the veil. Other names for this moon include Worm Moon, Sap or Sugar Moon, Sore Eye Moon, Chaste Moon, Crust Moon, Lenten Moon, Storm Moon, Winds Moon Cutios Moon, Seeds Moon, Nion Moon, Worm Moon, Plough Moon, and Tree of Life Moon.

The Anglo-Saxons referred to this moon as Hraed (rugged) or Hlyd (stormy) Monath, whilst in Pagan times it went by the name Death Moon to signify the fading away of Winter.

ℂ𝔼𝕃𝕋𝕀ℂ 𝕆𝔾ℍ𝔸𝕄 …..
The Celtic Ogham names this the Ash Moon connecting it to magick, shadow self, karma, imagination, love, focus, intuition and dreams and the element of water.

𝕊𝕋𝔸ℝ𝕊𝕀𝔾ℕ & 𝕋𝔸ℝ𝕆𝕋 …..
In Tarot Earthy Virgo is represented in the major arcana by The Hermit (IX).

Virgo is ruled by Mercury and connects to the element of Earth. Virgo energy is known for its analytical, detail-oriented, and practical nature. However, these traits can also lead to perfectionism and self-criticism, which may mean you miss out on opportunities or take on too much stress.

𝔻𝔼𝕀𝕋𝕀𝔼𝕊 …..
You may choose to work with include The Green Man, The Morrighan, Artemis, Astarte, Cybele, Odin, Black Isis or Ishtar.

ℂℝ𝕐𝕊𝕋𝔸𝕃𝕊 …..
BLACK TOURMALINE - echoes the shiny black intensity of Crow feathers. Black Tourmaline earths us to the physical realm and centres us in the present moment. It reawakens wit and wisdom to boost instincts and inner guidance when most needed.

GREEN AVENTURINE - embodies growth and the act of branching out towards new experiences. A strong Heart centre crystal, Green Aventurine brings a sprinkling of luck towards all transformational endeavours.

BLUE APATITE - stimulates the mental body to connect with the Crow totem. It’s the perfect companion to connect with when change is on the horizon and you need to call upon your intellect and wit to help you navigate the path ahead.

PINK TOURMALINE - brings stability and a sense of peace. This is the perfect gratitude stone to hold space as you take time to look around and see how much you have to be thankful for. Focussing on gratitude plants the seeds for future manifestation.

MOSS AGATE - has a wonderful earthy energy, connecting to Virgo and to the emerging natural world around us. With the Vernal Equinox around the corner get ready to plant the seeds of your own priorities and dreams, easing you into healthier new habits.

𝕃𝕌ℕ𝔸ℝ ℝ𝕀𝕋𝕌𝔸𝕃 …..⁠
Place a black cloth in a basket to create a makeshift nest. Add a Tourmaline crystal and ask that the Crow shares its magick and medicine with you to provide a new perspective on your current situation.

Keep on your Altar or Sacred Space as a place of focus and work with it over the next few nights. If you don’t have Black Tourmaline try any of the crystals I’ve suggested here.

𝔸ℕ𝔻 𝔽𝕀ℕ𝔸𝕃𝕃𝕐 …..
Crystals LOVE a moon bathe, full or new are both fine options. So don’t forget to pop those crystals, divination and magickal tools out for a restorative and energising bath and take the opportunity to enchant some moonwater too!

Bright Blessings my lovelies …..

On the first of March we celebrate the Goddess as the Mother, the bringer of light and life. Everything from the greenery of spring to young animals and human children. In doing so we celebrate all mothers.

𝕄𝔸𝕋ℝ𝕆ℕ𝔸𝕃𝕀𝔸 …..
Following the Roman calendar this was the start of the new year. The festival was associated with the dedication of a temple to Juno Lucina circa 268 BCE and where Saturnalia was for the men, this was for the women.

‘Juno the light-bringer’, who brings children into the light, was depicted veiled, with a flower in one hand and a child in the other. This day celebrated motherhood and women in general, when men gave presents to their wives such as of sweets, flowers and jewellery, and children would give gifts to their mothers.

Women provided feasts for their female slaves, who were given the day off, where they would participate in rituals at the Juno temple. It is known that they wore their hair loose and no belts or knots in their clothing; all against the dictates of decorum at that time.

Here in the 21st Century you can honour the Goddess by decorating your Altar or Sacred Space with spring flowers such as daffodils, primroses, crocuses, violets etc and as many candles as you wish.

𝕄𝔸𝕋ℝ𝕆ℕ𝔸𝕃𝕀𝔸 ℂℝ𝕐𝕊𝕋𝔸𝕃𝕊 …..
MOONSTONE - 3 different moonstones selected themselves here; Garnierite (green), Rainbow and Peach. Moonstone links to the Moon, Venus and naturally The Goddess in the Mother aspect. Peach Moonstone connects us to the unconditional love of family and friends while Rainbow Moonstone synthesises the mind with Spirit and helps us to understand our place in the universe. Finally, green Garnierite connects us to nature and protection therein.

PRAISIOLTE - or green amethyst is a spiritual protector like it’s purple counterpart. It helps to activate the heart as the centre of conscious, linking the spiritual and physical aspects of life. It contains the energies of transformation and vitality.

CITRINE - whether natural or heat-treated (both variations pictured) this beauty attracts abundance and clears low vibrational energy. A stone of happiness, joy and welcoming the return of the Sun.

𝔾𝕆𝔻𝔻𝔼𝕊𝕊 𝕆𝔽 𝕃𝕀𝔾ℍ𝕋 ℝ𝕀𝕋𝕌𝔸𝕃 …..
Thank you to Anna Franklin, Pagan Author for her Goddess of Light Ritual.

Unsurprisingly this probably all sounds familiar as this is yet another festival appropriated by the church.

“Honour the Goddess who brings life into the light - this can be all life, from the greenery of spring to young animals and human children – and ask her protection. Decorate your altar with spring flowers such as daffodils, primroses and violets and as many candles as you wish, saying:

Come our fairest Lady, I call you.
You gave me the light of life,
You created me, you gave me birth.
You nourish and support all life.

Your light blazes in the flames around me
Illuminating the darkness
Uncovering what is hidden
With the light of knowledge
Showing me the beauty of this world.

Come Goddess,
Bless that which is newly born,
Bless the emerging shoots
As they strive towards the light.

I honour you, Mother of Light.
Come Lady, and bless all mothers.

If you like, you can place an offering of a slice of simnel cake on the altar (put it out for the birds tomorrow). Honour all mothers today and share simnel cake with them.”

Greetings and salutations …..

On this day we commemorate the eve of the unjust Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts, 334 years ago.

In 1692 colonial authorities rounded up and began interrogating Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne, and Native American slave, Tituba, to determine if they indeed practiced witchcraft, the devil’s magick.

By July 1693 more than 200 people; women, children and men were accused. Thirty people were found guilty, 19 of whom were hanged and one man, Giles Corey, was pressed to death for refusing to enter a plea. At least five more died in jail. The youngest victim was a four year old girl.

It wasn’t until 1711 that authorities pardoned some of the persecuted and their families were compensated. It took until July 2022, 400 years later, that Elizabeth Johnson Jr was cleared as the last convicted Salem Witch, fully exonerated. You can find out more at the Salem Witch Museum.

𝕄𝕐 𝔸ℕℂ𝔼𝕊𝕋𝕆ℝ …..
The dark winter nights have always been the perfect time for me to learn; to dive deep into subjects that fascinate me and my ancestral history is one.

Only recently I’ve confirmed that I am in fact related to one of the Salem accused, Rebecca Nurse!

Rebecca was found guilty and hung in July 1692 at the age of 71. Originally from Great Yarmouth, Rebecca was born on February 13th 1621 and one of 7 children. The family emigrated to Massachusetts and settled in Salem. Here in 1644 she married her husband Francis also an English immigrant and artisanal craftsman. They had several children and lived in a homestead that to this day is run as a charity and open to the public.

Two of Rebecca’s sisters, Sarah and Mary were also accused of witchcraft. Although Sarah was released, Mary was also executed alongside Rebecca on 19th July 1692. Their accuser was Anne Putnam jr.

Rebecca was pardoned 20 years later and has been a pivotal character in many plays and books since, such as ‘The Crucible’, ‘Three Sovereigns for Sarah’ and ‘Salem Witch Trials’.

Goodwife Nurse is the ancestor of several notable people including Zach Braff and Lucille Ball.

ℍ𝕀𝕊𝕋𝕆ℝ𝕐 𝕃𝔼𝕊𝕊𝕆ℕ …..
In a school in America, whilst learning of the trials and teacher assembled her class.

"I'm going to come around and whisper to each of you whether you're a witch or a regular person. Your goal is to build the largest group possible that does NOT have a witch in it. At the end, any group found to include a witch gets a failing grade."

The teens dove into grilling each other. One fairly large group formed, but most of the students broke into small, exclusive groups, turning away anyone they thought gave off even a hint of guilt.

"Okay," the teacher said. "You've got your groups. Time to find out which ones fail. All witches, please raise your hands."

No one raised a hand.

The kids were confused and told the teacher he'd messed up the game. "Did I? Was anyone in Salem an actual witch? Or did everyone just believe what they'd been told?"

And that is how you teach kids how easy it is to divide a community. Shunning, scapegoating and dividing destroys far more than they protect. There's plenty of it going around.

Rings a bell even in today’s ‘advanced’ societies doesn’t it?

So tonight light a candle to honour the lost lives of our persecuted sisters and brothers not just in Salem but around the world and through the ages.

Bright Blessings …..

Morning my lovelies …..

A couple of days ago we were treated to a beautiful day of sunbeams, warmth and a break from the interminable rain.

Join me on a little walk on the commons where you could smell the gorse and wild garlic on the breeze, hear the flowers chatting happily and soak up this perfect little piece of the Shire.

It was a joy to feel the sun on my skin and to breathe in lungfuls of fresh revitalising air. As an asthmatic the damp air of late has not been supporting my body. Here where the land meets the sky.

As well as crocus, daffodils and snowdrops I spied some beautiful violets hidden away.

With the Vernal Equinox just round the corner, what signs of Spring have you been spotting recently ….?

Morning folks …..

Today the 2/22 portal opens, unlocking a gateway to a new reality filled with high-vibrational energy, unconditional love, and sacred connections. This powerful alignment is a reminder that the universe is always working behind the scenes, bringing the right people and opportunities into your life when you're ready to receive them.

It's a call to trust in divine timing and know that every experience, no matter how unexpected, is part of a greater plan designed to align you with your highest purpose. Pay attention to the signs and synchronicities that appear for they are gentle nudges from your higher self, guiding you toward moments that have the power to shift your path in profound ways.

As your consciousness expands, so does your ability to attract relationships and experiences that mirror the love, passion, and purpose that already exist within you. This is a time to let go of fear, trust in your unique journey, and allow yourself to receive the love and abundance that's been waiting for you.

Are you ready to embrace the transformation ….?
