So it has been a long time since I last wrote a blog here. I decided to have a year of saying yes to things, and that is proving challenging and interesting! I have been busy writing, with publishing projects for Avalonia – and also in these last few months I have been travelling extensively so I am behind (as always) with the fun things in life! Those of you who follow me on Instagram or Facebook will know I have been to Ireland, Crete (Greece), Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo in Brazil and the Netherlands in the last few months; and that I have a few more trips coming up soon.

One of the things that tend to happen when I have so much going on, which I am sure is true for many of you reading this, is that I don’t always have as much time to keep in touch with friends and others who play an important part in my life. So, while discussing a particular point a friend of mine was trying to make about his perspectives on the Gods and Priesthood, I came up with the idea to interview 100 people whose work inspired me past, or present – and who are still alive today. I will call this series of interviews Children of Earth. These interviews will be with people who have made, and continue to make a positive contribution to their spiritual communities – some of those I am approaching are very well known in their respective fields, and others are not known at all other than within a very small circle. In a couple of instances I know that if I am lucky enough for the individuals to say yes, the interviews may even be published under pseudonyms to protect their privacy and anonymity.

I am not making a whose-who list of celebrities, rather these are all people who genuinely had an impact on me as a Priestess, magician, author, publisher or as a person. I am open to suggestions as to who to approach, and the questions you would like me to ask – so do make them in the comments or by private message / email.

The first in the series will be published tomorrow – and is with my friend, High Priestess of the Craft and author of Seidr: The Gate is Open and Odin’s Gateway Katie Gerrard.
