Greetings sweet❤︎ Can you feel it? The changing of the leaves, the slight chill in the air, that particular smell of nature slowly withdrawing… its magick! 🍃🍁🍂 The Autumn Equinox has just turned the wheel and before long it will be Samhain, the Witch's New Year. But I am here to write about the last festival of Mabon and the Harvest Festival of Goddess Nehalennia. Picture by Nehalennia Festival For a long time Nehalennia has been hidden under the water surface, [...]
& happy new birth year to me Happy birthday to me! I celebrated my 44th birthday last Wednesday on the 25th. Thank you all for the many many birthday wishes!!! You make my day! Thank you! Apologies if I haven't replied in person - it has been quite busy at the office. This was a bit of a bittersweet day as this was the last day working here, at this place. So goodbye Amsterdam city centre and hello Sloterdijk…New location, new [...]
At the moment I am using a beautiful leather bound book to write down my craft work, journal, keep record of spells, etc. To have a beautiful Book of Shadows has always appealed to me and over the years I have had many ideas of what I want to do with my BoS, but who am I kidding! I don't have the time to make it all pretty and fill it with all kinds of general witchy information. And yes of [...]
13 September 2019 🌕 Oh it's been so long since I have been in love. I miss those butterflies, that rush you get when you are besotted with someone. I miss having a special person in my life. The past years have been hard, with a lot of loss and healing, the last thing on my mind was finding a partner. But now time has passed and time has healed and I feel so much stronger and open and I feel [...]
Happy Full Harvest Moon in Pisces. I hope you are having empowering day! This Full Harvest Moon is on the date of Friday the 13th (not everywhere, in The Netherlands where I live on Saturday morning) and only happens once every 20 years! I sure had very vivid and powerful dreams last night, some I still try to make sense of. I will meditate and journal more on them, wrote pages and pages this morning. Yesterday, Friday, the day of Venus, [...]
A happy September to you!!Welcome back from wherever you have come from, whether you went away this Summer or stayed put, wherever you are, wherever you have come from, welcome home within yourSelf. The month of transformation And welcome to Sweet September. The month of change, of transformation. You now start to see this clearly in nature and you may feel it stirring within you. Where are possibilities arising for you and how are you responding to them? Are you seizing [...]
Happy New Moon in Virgo! I woke up early, even early for me (I am an early bird) and I feel so awake, so clear. For the past week I have been feeling Autumn arrive and this makes me anxious to get the most out of the last days of Summer. To drink in as much Sunshine as I can until the cold season arrives. I also have been feeling this pressure because we are three quarters in this year and [...]
Happy Full Moon (the Full Sturgeon Moon) in rational, eccentric and humanitarian Aquarius! The Sun (in proud and loyal Leo) now forms an exact opposition to the Moon. In astrology, the Sun rules our overall character while the moon rules our inner Self. So the Full Moon shines a light on our Selves that only comes out in the dark. That Self that 'outside' people don't get to see. And this may bring up some tension if your outside you is [...]
A little while ago I did a career spread for myself. This year I celebrated my 10th year anniversary at my current day job. I am happy where I work, content, all is well and I think I am good at what I do and I think my colleagues feel the same. I am blessed to work at such an open minded and colorful place. I am not bored, but sometimes the mind wanders if I there are other opportunities out [...]
Today I want to share with you a Lenormand reading I did for myself around the theme of love and romance. I have been single for about nine years now and I am opening up to the idea of meeting a man romantically. The past years I have had many excuses not to focus on love, excuses that may be very real as my heart wasn't open (well it was, wide open, but wounded and mourning) and I didn't have the [...]
