I've been offline for most of May with a severe stomach infection that knocked me out for 2 weeks and I'm still not 100% well, but functioning much better and able to do much more than I was. I'm sorry I didn't put my Moon Phase posts up, I had such brain fog that I couldn't manage them. Hopefully I'll put them up retroactively, but I will post next Monday about the Last Quarter Moon in Pisces. Right now I'm going to write the Moon Movements post for June, it'll follow soon T

The Last Quarter Moon is the time for decrease. Look at the assessments you made at the Full Moon and see what you can reduce at this time. Here are a few examples of the sorts of questions to ask yourself to identify where you can do this. Did you identify anything in your plans or that needed to end or isn’t working and needs to be changed? Are there things you can change about yourself that are holding you back? Do you need to move away from any people or situations that

If you collect and dry herbs for making incense, poppets, teas or decorating your altar it is a good idea to have some dedicated tools to make your work easier. Here is a list of the most useful ones I have used over the years and if you are just starting your herbal journey I hope you find it useful. Pestle and Mortar I consider this an essential item. The best in my opinion are made of marble as the weight helps you work, especially with gums and woods. I would suggest that

May is another name for Hawthorn and this Beltaine Eve I've collected flowers from my Hawthorn Trees in my Garden to decorate my home and Altars. It's an old tradition to bring Hawthorn into the house at Beltaine and it was also once used to decorate Maypoles. It was said to be bad luck to bring it into the house at any other time of the year, and maybe that's because Hawthorn is one of the Fairy Triad of treees "Oak, Ash and Thorn" and upsetting the Fairies was something no

This festival marks the height of Spring; the threat of frost has passed and the fertility of the land has been confirmed by the new growth returning to the trees, hedgerows and land, and the new births of farm and wild animals. Farm animals that have been housed overwinter are sent to pasture as there is now enough grass to feed them without supplementation. In earlier times they would have on the way to the fields been driven between bonfires with herbs smoking to free the

The First Quarter Moon is the time for increase. Look at the plans and goals you identified and committed to at the New Moon to see where you need to make improvements or upgrades to help you achieve them more easily and successfully.

What positive traits or attitudes do you need to succeed? What do you need to improve t

This is the first Moon of the 2026-7 Lunar Year and we begin our self knowledge and inner workings with the Lunar Zodiac here.

Living and growing through the Moon Phases in the Zodiac Signs The Moon moves through the Astrological signs through the year just like the Sun does -though it moves much faster, spending approximately 2.5 days in each sign. This means that each phase of the Moon occurs in every sign of the Zodiac through the Lunar year and over the course of the year we get the chance to interact with all of them. Regardless of the signs active in your Birth Chart each Astrological sign has

I haven't posted here since June last year, time has flown by and I didn't realise how long I'd been away! Last year was very difficult, as my daughter and I have had major health issues that took up all my energy and focus and things have only recently settled down into a manageable state. Since Imbolc I have been re-assessing my life as I do not have the energy levels of before and my priorities have changed. I have decided that I do want to continue with this blog, but th

When you do your religious/spiritual workings do you call then rituals or ceremonies? I had always called my circle workings “rituals”, and saw my meditations, journeying etc as “workings” because that was how they were named in the tradition I was taught so many years ago. However, talking to some shamanic folks I know I found that they did not like to use the word Ritual to describe what they were doing, as it was too linked to church based religions and too formal. They fe
