I had the feeling that Kal was with me since the morning of the 2nd February. He was impelling, encouraging and inviting me to re-start my spiritual cycle of following the year’s special energetic high points.

In preparation for Imbolc I wanted to construct something similar to what I had seen at other sacred sites related to the goddess Brigid – a wooden cross. I decided to make two crosses – one for me and one for my friend Julia, who would be accompanying me for my Imbolc outing. My concept was … Read More “Crosses for the Bride” »

One of my objectives for this Imbolc was to connect more of the sites that I had identified … Read More “Imbolc 2015 p3 – Arthurs Flower” »

Only the fool-hardy and those friends with frost would venture forth into the darkness of Delamere Forest at midnight.
