He wasn’t ok. He’s been part of my world here, part of this land for probably the past year. Probably longer, but that is how long I have recognised him.

The pattern of his tail feathers, the way I could ‘feel’ he was sitting in a tree long before I saw him.

He loved perching in the mature Sycamore, and was more often than not there every morning first thing as I wandered the land here.

Yesterday I found him grounded, the day before he had been perched on the fire pit before we lit it.

I took him to Cuan House Wildlife Rescue yesterday and today received the news he had been put to sleep. A cataract on one eye, a deformed/ overgrown beak and he was emaciated, from not being able to hunt and feed properly.

Yes, I cried - some may not understand this and that’s fine. But, this is how I live my life. This is how I am in the world- these wild and amazing beings are my beloved neighbours, familiars and friends. They are equal in this world to me. I feel the loss of him. I feel the loss of his energy here. I miss seeing him.

Go to light the fire for Autumn Equinox and look who is sat on the fire pit! Honestly, can’t make these things up!
(He absolutely is a regular here ❤️he was sat on the roof this morning)

Some special drum journeys today, followed by some lovely drumming.

Next Drum Journey and Drumming Circles are Sun 16th November & Fri 19th Dec - 4 spaces max for each, 3 spaces left available on each at the moment.

These will be the last of these circles, for certainly the foreseeable future, as my offerings have and are evolving - these will be available from Jan ‘26…..Excitingggggggg x

Trees bring me to my knees in prayer and wonder.

Trees bring me to tears, not through sadness but through admiration and joy.

Her out breath is my in breath, my out breath her in breath, the flow and breath of oxygen as life, she gives to me.

Trees are such wise counsel, such high vibrational beings who are really calling to us, during these times of change. Calling us into truth.

My best advisors. The wisdom keepers. The ones who remember the ancestors of place. Their footsteps sealed into the earth, the vibrations of the pad of their feet perhaps still ripple here, through the roots of trees.

~Grief Spirals~

Anniversaries of losing loved ones can be hard.

Losing both my Mum and Dad to cancer has been and is still excruciatingly painful. 2 years ago, I lost my wonderful Dad. I’m still grieving. I feel the loss every day. I believe I always will.

No one can tell you how to grieve. No matter what the loss or grief is, it belongs to you. It is yours. You don’t ’get over it’.

What happens in our lives, shapes us. I wrote these words just over two years ago, and I still feel them today. Perhaps, they may help someone else…..here they are ~

When dusk becomes dawn, dark becomes light and as I am sitting here, thinking in the quiet, as stars fade to the sunrise. I ask, ‘Why is this happening?’ Maybe dying is just the beginning, because I am sure it is not the end.

Grief is love. The feeling of loss, is love. Missing someone so much that your heart hurts, is love.

And when the rawness fades enough, the love shines back through, brighter than ever. Just love and a lifetime of memories etched into my heart.

Last week I spent 2 days completing and passing the ITC Level 3 Outdoor First Aid.

This is important to me, as next year I will be offering more Animist, deep nature connection and land connection workshops and closed circle series. So a little extra safety for those who book on my events, especially when outdoors, with the land ❤️

I’m mid flow on a couple of training journeys right now, but I am very excited about sharing these with you next year. Both are modalities that have made a huge difference in my life and well being, and are close to my own heart and life events. I want to offer these to help others in the near future.

It felt soooo good to get my toes in damp earth today, and ohhh that earthy smell, yum!

I love walking with the energies of the earth, the landscape and nature. Often subtle, sometimes not!

Those thunder rumbles and horizontal lightning flashes rouse a reminder of our vulnerability, how precious life is, what a gift it is.

A reminder of how powerful Mother Nature is, how small we are.

The energy of a storm always makes me tingle, I feel the hairs stand up of my arms. I feel her swirling, spinning, circling electric energy.

I walked on the edge of the storm, my awareness wide and vast, curious about how it might feel right at the centre of that storm!

4 spaces for each event/ workshop, as with all my offerings they are in a small, cosy group, where we can really have the time to share, feel safe and deepen fully into ourselves, our imagination and connect with spirit and the more-than-human world.

The Phoenix and the womb. Or womb phoenix.

She speaks of portals, of boundaries and the simplicity of ‘no’. She speaks to me of ancestors thousands of years gone by. Perhaps, as old as time.

She speaks to me. And I am speaking to her. A union, in time, of an initiation into something so filled with magic and wisdom.

I’m celebrating coming to this time. The privilege, the gratitude of my life so far, my lived experiences, as I skip around the edges, and enter my witchdom. My queendom ❤️

In the last week or so, I have found enough Buzzard feathers to make my own buzzard…..so I did.

I like him. He’s a little bit of a gratitude buzzard - I’m not not too sure what the bird buzzards will think, but Spirit always likes messages of devotion from me to them…..and art is not about perfection, but expression ❤️
