Being Ill

A long time ago a Scouse Pagan who I like very much asked me to write about my illness. Several diagnoses, a lot of tests and a long time since that request I find myself having a bad day. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, essentially this is the absence of a diagnosis. They can’t find … Read More


How I Blog

Apparently I don’t do it right, this whole blogging malarkey. I’m neither columnist not expert, I’m not giving my opinions on a specific subject, I have no discernible brand.

Samhain and Eclectic Witchcraft

I’ve spent my evening lighting candles and remembering the dead. It’s been an oddly quiet sort of Samhain, no interruptions by children, just myself and the altar and my memories. Often I just light tealights, one for each of the dead, tonight I’ve done full blown candles and some of the married couples have had … Read More
