On Sunday I attended a get-to-gather with fellow-witches. It was inspiring and empowering. And bit by bit I am coming more out of the Witches' (broom) closet. Not that I was ever fully in it as I have not really hidden my interests in the past. But the word 'witch' sometimes felt awkward, because it comes with so much baggage and prejudice. Witch But when I first spoke the word out loud, it felt so right and so powerful, I [...]
Dear you, How are you. I hope you had a blessed Samhain or a night of Halloween full of fun and mischief. I celebrated and commemorated these days in a calm and mostly silent fashion. Yesterday, All Soul's Day was quite an intense and heightened day, full of ancestral healing and insights. I could feel the magic going on around me and there was lots of static in the air. These days when the veil between the world of the [...]
Hiya dear you! I hope you are doing well and are okay. I understand and feel that life can be very intense at this time and full of surprises (and not all of them happy ones). All of this chaos can distract us from looking deeper as we tend to tune out and distance ourselves when the going gets tough. We numb out with all kinds of distractions and addictions such as Netflix, alcohol, food, work, games, mobile phones, sex, etc. [...]
Hiya dear you! Just dropping in to share my trip to London with you. My friend Karina and I went to London last week (for 4 nights) to visit the Frida Kahlo exhibition at Victoria & Albert Museum and for me also to go to the Mew concert at Barbican. My pictures are crappy (I blame the camera ;-)) but here goes (pic below = link): Karina never visited London before so I was playing tour guide and showed her [...]
Hiya, Just dropping in to say hello and write a bit more about what is coming up in this time of Venus Retrograde. I also wrote more about this in this blog: https://www.joyincreation.com/2018/10/05/venus-rx-do-you-love-yourself/ Venus will start its retrograde period in intense, real and moody Scorpio (Oct. 6-31), before moving into rational Libra (Nov. 1-17). Now is time for self-love, for me-time, nourish yourself and reconnect. But be aware that you don't become a hermit. Offer support to others, connect, take care [...]
Hiya, how are you? I wish you a happy and healthy October! This is a time of magic and mystery, a time when the veils between the seen and unseen is fading and it is much easier to move between worlds. This is a time of darkness and endings, a time of release and retreat. A time to be guided and let go and transition to....well the unknown, something new. Don't resist, trust your heart and know that change is inevitable. [...]
When I am lost I travel so I can come back home. Those are the words that repeated itself in my head throughout my trip to Italy. I have just returned from Italy where I stayed for 8 days, but feel like I have been away for weeks. I have seen and walked so much, the sensual input totally overwhelming me. My body is tired, my head is still on holiday-mode, I lost four kilos from all the walking, but [...]
Hello you!! How are you? Hope you are well. The past few weeks have felt very intense and challenging for many as energies affecting us were very strong. A lot of us were faced with old challenges and patterns. Things we thought no longer had power over us came up strong to be seen and healed once and for all. Deep rooted fears can be addressed, lessons can be learned and healed so that we can then move on and open [...]
