A little bit of pen and ink practise with a felt tip and a fountain pen. I followed an tutorial on YouTube. Lots of fun.

Just a few beauties on this morning's mooch.

Sunny afternoon with my gorgeous daughter. Bookshop for new books, courtyard Italian cafe, glass of wine whilst we wait for some late lunch. Perfect!

Oh look what the postie brought. I've been waiting for this shiny for a while. A study of E. Graham Howe's thoughts and teachings. That's my evening sorted then.

Rather annoyingly I have just discovered that a contact link on my old Web Page - templeofhekate.net - hadn't been updated. Thanks to a disk space error I have just discovered a butt load of enquiry emails, some of them dating back to 2020. Arrrghhhhh!!!! If anyone here was thinking that I was being rude, I really wasn't I genuinely didn't know these emails had arrived.

Need some guidance for the month ahead? Why not have a look at Jane Matthews new pick a card reading using her Sigil system.

It's new moon time again - almost 😉

New Moon Magic - Sagittarius with a glitch. My hand dandy journal tells me that its a new moon in Sagittarius right now, but its an American journal. So when I look at my moon phase calculator and various other ephemeris they tell me that in the UK the moon is still in Scorpio for a few hours yet. Until 10:57pm to be exact. Luckily your avera...

New Moon Magic - Scorpio with an Extra Sting There is an old fable that says that once upon a time a Scorpion wanted to cross a river, unable to swim he asked a frog to help him by carrying him on his back. The frog initially refuses scared that he would be stung, but the Scorpion reassures the frog pointing out that if he did so then he would...

The sigils used are my own which RedFeather will be releasing to preorder....

Good morning all, equinox and new moon blessings. We've got another blog in our new moon shadow work series.

New Moon Magic - In Libra This month is all about balance, the Autumn Equinox was yesterday at 02:03 GMT+1 on Friday the 23rd and on Sunday the 25th we enter the new moon in Libra. Ruled by Venus this might be a great time to look at the shadow side of the role we play within our relationships, both with ourselves, with othe...

New Moon in Virgo this month Folks - and our shadow work prompts are quite deep.

New Moon Magic - In Virgo Virgos are list makers, they can be meticulous and thorough in what ever they decide to take on. Naturally people watchers they can seem very aloof in groups of people, and this can lead to others feeling that they are judgemental. They have really strong moral compass and not being a sign that does...

This petition has come to my attention. Definitely worth a sign and share I say.

Today's very windy stomp down the lane gave me they are just stunning.

Slightly haggard and shaken UPS guy delivered this today (he took the wrong road up from the village), speedy despatch though I only ordered it on Sunday

Turns out the postie round here delivers on a Sunday. Even in the arse end of beyond. I listened to a great talk with via and well like any good I bought the book from .imprint wooot! That's my afternoon reading sorted.

Early evening cool down at beach. Stoopid here forgot the ball and flinger so the faithful was very unfaithful and forgot all his recall training.

Today we bought an for the corner of the rock garden which is on the terrace at the back. We are going to have some fun working out what cold hardy plants will thrive at 1500 ft

I didn't wander down the lane today. Instead we decided to walk the bounds and at the far end of the large paddock I found the cutest

Today's mooch along the lane yielded

This is supposed to be my office. Right now all I can see is boxes and empty shelves and no idea how to fit it all together. Send rend wine please 😂

Coffee in bed on a beautiful morning.

So our postman comes late, at 7pm last night after a spectacularly rubbish couple of days I received copies of Temple of Hekate in Italian. You have no idea how cool it is to see your words in another language. Ill do some suitably arty shots at the weekend so folks can have a close look.

It's a New Moon in Cancer, have you considered a little moon magic?

https://www.worlddivinationassociation.com/single-post/new-moon-magic

New Moon Magic Today is a New Moon in Cancer. I always feel like the new moon gets a bit of a bum deal when it comes to peoples attention, moonlight is very magical, it sheds it's silvery light and with it just a little bit of fairy dust. It's easy to take yourself out of the mundane to work on your divination and...

I stopped eating octopus some time ago after watching footage of one performing relatively complex problem solving tasks including unscrewing the cap from a jar - something which eludes some human beings 😉 So I'm rather pleased that how they are treated, and how they are despatched, prior to consumption will now improve.
