Attended the Converge Open Day at York St John University as a Course Tutor. Really enjoyed talking to those who were signing up and look forward to entangling plant folklore, mindfulness and art over the next few months.

Over the next few days, I thought I would offer a free three card pull for everyone who wants one. The deck is Soul Trees Ascension Deck (its rarer sister deck has been purchased again after I sold it a few years ago which, in hindsight, was a big mistake).

So - choose 3 numbers between 1 and 80 and I will get back to you with your three words and cards for 2026 🌿✨🪾

Ushering back the light 🌞

Blessed Winter Solstice and Yule to everyone in the Northern Hemisphere, and may your coming year be bright and full of happiness. To honour the sacrifice of the Holly King, my latest blog explores some of the folklore of this sacred plant.

Blessed Yule and Winter Solstice to everyone in the northern hemisphere. This is the day of maximum darkness and tomorrow, the light will slowly start to seep back into our world. The Oak King has claimed back his crown from the Holly King and so, in honour, I would like to share some holly folklore...

Massive thanks to everyone (including the visiting ladybird) who came to last night’s Magic and Folklore session. We explored the symbolism and magic of the Holly and the Ivy, drank lots of herbal tea, created (and burnt) an Ivy and Peppermint charm/wish, before ending with a tarot reading.

I’m going to be sharing a lot of images from the book “A Tree, A Day” by Amy-Jane Beer. One of the most captivating books I’ve ever owned 🌿🪾

It will feature heavily in my ecospiritual life coaching sessions coming in the new year.
