Welcome...

Welcome to my year long project! 

 After finishing two thoroughly enjoyable Goddess discovery courses with the lovely Michelle, a Priestess of Avalon in Glastonbury and a group of fantastic Ladies, I have decided to continue the journey I feel that I have only just started.

 I have spent the last few months working closely with Ker, The Grain Goddess - holding Her energy in the four archetypes Maiden, Lover, Mother and Crone. 

 Time, I decided to spend a whole year walking with Her, working round the actual wheel of the year - in real time so to speak - working with, holding, exploring and sharing Her energy, contemplating what it means to me and my life, as well as to those around me, creatively celebrating Her in whatever form inspires me - such as the banner I made to represent Her or the cushion that celebrates Her many forms.





I am lucky enough to live in the Kent countryside so I will be walking Her land, searching for Her in all Her beauty as well as asking for Her blessings on my allotment!

An odd time of the year/cycle to start you may think, a  strange place in between sabbats and archetypes - but I have chosen to start tomorrow 6th April as it is my birthday - so I will spend the whole of my 44th year walking with Her, starting by calling her Maiden energy in before it  begins to shift to that of the Lover later in the month.

 Hopefully you will share my journey with me - Blessed Be

    Claire this is fantastic, I am so excited to read what you discover, to hear how you intuit Her as you work your allotment, and to see the beautiful things you make. Lots of love to you, wonderful woman.

A Patchwork Harvest

Bean Field If you could describe a week as a patch work quilt, this would be that week! Bits of this and bits of that, up and downs, celebration mixed with mundane. If you could sew it all together it would definitely resemble patchwork, just like the fields around me - green, orange, yellow, brown, rough, smooth, bursting with crops or silent and stripped. Just about sums up life really now I think of it, those empty fields will fill many fridges or larders and will regrow next year as part of the cycle, just like my empty nest I've had this week - our son has been away on holiday and our daughter house sitting with her boyfriend so it's been suddenly very quiet for a change - on the up side though at least Mark and myself have had some peace and quiet and some time for just us - particularly well timed as it was our wedding anniversary yesterday.  Out came the 'special' bubbly glasses, a wedding A little treat!  present from friends and our treat was cava and

The Mysteries of Mabon

Autumn Sunset on Orkney What is it? Mabon or Second Harvest or Autumn Equinox...  When  is it?  21st? 22nd? 23rd  For some people it's a 'one sabbat fits all' kind of affair which is completely cool, for others there is a more strict observance of a particular date or an event. This year the 'true' equinox here in the UK was at 2.54 am this morning 23rd September - a huge round of applause for anyone who got up to mark that exact point when the sun crosses the imaginary line of the equator on it's journey from North to South, I for one was sound asleep and probably snoring like a hibernating bear. That said, today is the day that I particularly mark, taking extra time to reflect on the year, to celebrate what I have and to let go of things that no longer serve me. Some extra time communing with my Goddess, preparing a lovely dinner for me and himself to enjoy this evening and we have special drinking ware that we use for Sabbats. Tonight's Libat

Remembering the Winchester Geese

Nestled just a road or two off the main bustling thoroughfare in Southwark,  close to the world famous Borough Market  is  Cross Bones Graveyard   a place  that had escaped my radar until a few years ago when I was shocked to discover it's haunting story and existence so close to the razzmatazz and wealth of the city. In The Shadow Of The Shard Forgotten and neglected, it was a sad and forlorn final resting place for the  brothel workers and the unloved destitute of London's post medieval slums until the mid 19th century when it was built over. Ironically the prostitutes who  were known as The Winchester Geese,  as they were licensed by the Bishop Of Winchester to work the surrounding area which was known as The Liberty of The Clink; full of bear pits, taverns and brothels or 'stews' as they were called, but they were typically and hypocritically abandoned, unloved in unconsecrated and unmarked graves along with the unborn or stillborn proof of their sin.
