The Witches Zodiac

Over the past few months I've been compiling some exciting videos with my Astrologer friend Zoe Hind. As both of us are drawn to astrology, nature, folklore, Wicca and Druidism we thought it would be interesting to create videos relating the astrological wheel of the year, with the pagan wheel of the year.
If this idea is confusing, here is the pagan wheel of 8 festivals (image from wikipedia) and below is the

 zodiac.

Often people find ideas of astrology quite scientific and hard to grasp. The way stellar movements are described usually leaves the layman feeling like it's all going 'out there somewhere' and not deep within every breath. As the saying goes 'As above, so below, as within, so without.' Not much goes on' up there' without affecting the energy and actions of our daily lives.
The pagan wheel of the year has always gone hand in hand with the cycles of astrology and in this series of videos we show you how. The videos are fun, informative and relaxed -  and hopefully you will take away with you a deeper knowledge of pagan festivities and astrology.

On my YouTube Channel we have already, Ostara, Beltane, Litha & Lughnasadh. Autumn Equinox and Samhain are coming very soon. Please go and check them out if you haven't seen them already... I'll add the next festivals on here...
Litha is the Summer Solstice (around the 21st June) and Lughnasadh is on the 1st August.

Litha is my favourite one so far... I hope you will enjoy!


And here is Lughnasadh...


Many thanks! :)

Faerie Queen Workshop & Meditation

The other weekend I had the pleasure of holding a special workshop in a yurt at the Magical Faerie Festival in Findon. Due to the wonder of modern technology and by the magic of my partner Gordon we have the workshop, including the guided meditations and the shamanic drumming recorded here for those who couldn't make it to enjoy, and also for those who were there go back into their meditations.

This short (1 hour) Workshop is an introduction to Faerie Queens. I will be doing a full  Faerie Queens Workshop on the 3rd August 2013 with Inspiral Mediums in Essex.
My recommended Faery reading list is on my Amazon store which you will see in the menu here.

I hope you enjoy the Workshop and Journeys...

Totem Tuesday - The Cat

Brand new Totem Tuesday, where I look into the wealth of myth and folklore about the fabulous Feline, and also celebrate my Cat's birthdays! :)
One thing I forgot to look into is why are cats thought to have nine lives... more on that coming soon!
Many thanks for watching.
