Pagan life, with just a hint of fairy dust, of a UK Witch
Today is blue Monday, the third Monday in January that some smarty-pants college psychologist claimed to be the most depressing of the year. His reason being that it’s dark, Christmas debt is catching up and motivation is low. It’s now just over two weeks since the beginning of 2012, and how are things going for [...]
Card of the Day: Eostre The card of the day is Eostre from the Goddess Oracle and the keyword is growth. If you’re anything like me, it’s very hard to entertain the idea of growth on a Monday. It’s always packed full of Monday madness with a ‘to-do’ list as long as my arm but the card of [...]
It’s the second week of the Postcard challenge and we’re in Spain. My inspiration for this postcard is the Altamira Cave, near Santander in northern Spain. The background…. Two agents have been randomly chosen from the secret association MIFFED, Modern International Federation of (almost) Forgotten and Extinct Deities, to save the world from the 2012 [...]
Card of the day: Inner Child The card of the day is the Inner Child from the Healing with the Fairies oracle. The phrase on the card is “inner child”. When was the last time you let your inner child out to play? When did you last do something spontaneous? Can you remember your last decision [...]
Card of the day: The Lovers The card of the day is the Lovers from the Haindl tarot deck. My keywords for this card are relationships, values and love. With exactly one month to go until Saint Valentine’s Day, the witch’s forecast for today is getting us to think about the important love relationships in our lives. [...]
Card of the day: The Wizard The card of the day is The Wizard from Madame Endora’s Fortune Cards. The message on the card reads “Use your skills to aid others”. Every single one of us, regardless of what we believe about ourselves, has an amazing amount of skills. Sometimes we think of them as so [...]
As if the 2012 Mayan prophecies were not enough doom and gloom for the world, this year we also have three Friday the Thirteenths. And, the first Friday 13th is right at the beginning of the year, in January. Actually, it’s tomorrow. I’m not particularly concerned about the 13th falling on a Friday (I have [...]
Card of the day: The World The card of the day is the World from the Cosmic tarot. My keywords for this card are completion, beginnings and success. Life is full of beginnings and endings. Each day we experience this cycle, just as surely as the world spins, but we don’t normally notice unless we find [...]
Being more on the voluptuous than waif side, I’m always pleased to see that art usually, until relatively modern times, reflects a more fuller figured woman. I can recall walking around the National Gallery in London realising that I too could have been an artist’s model, if only I’d been born several hundred years ago. [...]
Card of the day: Earth Dragon The card of the day is Earth Dragon from the Druid Animal Oracle. The keywords for this card are riches, power and potential. The Earth Dragon is a hoarder of treasures, preferring to flee than to share his valuables with anyone, or anything, else. This might work for the dragon, [...]
