I'm dedicated to helping women in particular develop their spiritual path in life. I'm focused heavily on Brigid in Ireland, although not all my followers are! I teach, speak, coach and mentor people to help them along their own individual path, based on what lore we have, but also allowing for each individual path to develop as it needs to.
😣The end is nigh!

Well, ok, the end of the working year is nigh and if you're lucky or privileged enough to have some time off over the holiday season here is your permission slip to thoroughly enjoy it! I'm off work tomorrow and Friday and I will be back in on Monday - and I'm really looking forward to it - I'm gonna get so much done! The decks will be cleared for 2026. Aside from that, I will be sipping coffee, catching up with folk and making sure nothing ruins people's holidays. I strongly encourage you to do the same - as far as is possible for you. I know there will be some people working Christmas Day/ Stephen's Day. I know there are people to whom Christmas week is a normal working week. I'll be thinking of you. I also know there are people out there for whom this time of year is miserable, or sad, or lonely. I encourage you to do what you need to do to survive! It's ok to stay in jammies for a day or two. It's ok to eat less-than-nutritious things for a day or two. I will be sending a few emails next week and sharing what resources I'm aware of. But most of all - rest where you can.

Yes, I'm still on about energy and things starting to grow today! I can't help it, I can feel the energy moving and shifting and it's fun! Plus, you know, it's that time of year when I get geared up for talking about Brigid non-stop, for 2 full months. (I know, you lot are used to listening to me all the time, but other people aren't!) Anyway, it's a quick email today, because I'm working on something very exciting. I'm putting together an Imbolc retreat. I did this last year, it was 6 hours,...
Today's blog post is about ascending into Imbolc. Now, I know - we don't usually think about ascending to Imbolc. We might consider descending around Samhain, but if there's a sense of descent into the earth for the winter, we really should counteract that with a period of ascent as well. And given Imbolc is about that period where we're looking at nature, new growth, rising energy in the world in general... it makes sense to me to link it to ascent. (It's also a great time to check out your...
Yes, I'm getting back into some sort of sensible routine now! Although I spent the entire weekend and my two days off last week on the couch, struggling with a cold. Or possibly flu and the vaccine was doing its job. (Yes, this is a pro-vaccine space, in case you were in any doubt!) But I've been having loads of conversations over the last few weeks over the guilt people feel around Christmas, and women in their 40's/ 50's in particular. So, that's what today's blog post is about. Guilt,...
