Review: Ancestral Oracle of the Celts by Caitlín Matthews

Last updated on: August 9, 2019 at 4:55 pm By Lyn Thurman

Just so you know, I was given a copy of The Ancestral Oracle of the Celts by Caitlín Matthews to review by Watkins Publishing. However, these are my own impressions about the oracle deck – not influenced at all by a freebie oracle deck! The deck is published on 13th August 2019. Let’s begin. First, I believe this to be an updated version of an older oracle deck – The Celtic Wisdom Oracle Cards – which I have buried somewhere in... Read more

Erupting With Truth Under The New Moon

Last updated on: July 2, 2019 at 9:37 pm By Lyn Thurman

The moon can be the guide when hormones cannot be. The new moon, the time that represents menstruation, can rise truth to the surface like a spring tide. All of us, regardless of gender, can use the lunar energy to explore truth and to allow it to grow as the moon waxes. Not only can we find our truth but then we must tell it. Share it. Live it.

Magickal Women Conference: A Tribute to Women Past, Present and Future

Last updated on: June 5, 2019 at 12:55 pm By Lyn Thurman

"There are just enough distant echoes of female voices to make a rich, albeit fragmented, legacy. Coming together at the Magickal Women Conference were those female magickal threads weaving the past with the present to create a future where women practitioners not only survive but can thrive."

Beltaine: Gateway to the Light

Last updated on: April 30, 2019 at 5:24 pm By Lyn Thurman

Recently, I was asked to think about Beltaine so I could share what it meant to me at a ritual. To be honest, the naming of the ceremonies of the Wheel of the Year are foreign to me and I struggle to connect with the names. But as I connected the energy of the festival, I realised Beltaine was the gateway of light. Read more

Finding and Working with a Genius Loci

Last updated on: April 3, 2019 at 7:11 pm By Lyn Thurman

Every location has its own protective spirit: genius loci. Romans brought the idea of the genius loci to its empire but recently, it is seen more as the energy or spirit of a location rather than its guardian. Earth guardians are needed now more than ever so find out how you can use the energy of the genius loci. Read more

Blood and Bone: The Time Between Mother and Crone

Last updated on: February 16, 2019 at 7:32 pm By Lyn Thurman

To be in this time between Mother and Crone is an honour that many of my foremothers never achieved. From a witchcraft perspective, it creates a space for self-reflection and self-enquiry. We can use this time to find ourselves and tentatively leave the comfortable slippers of the mother behind. Read more

How to Hold a Solo Sacred Cacao Ceremony

Last updated on: January 18, 2019 at 2:15 pm By Lyn Thurman

Hold a sacred solo cacao ceremony at home. It can be a powerful experience to share the cacao with a group of people but don't feel you must be in a group to experience the medicine of cacao. As cacao is linked with opening the heart and emotions, you might prefer to hold a ceremony alone in familiar surroundings. Read more

The Sacred Pause of Winter

Last updated on: January 12, 2019 at 7:17 pm By Lyn Thurman

Energetically, winter is the time to slow down. To pause. To rest. To settle into becoming. Mother Nature does an amazing job of showing us the way with dark mornings, dark evenings and weather that doesn't entice you out to play. But we live in a culture that values the energy of spring with it's glorious youth and growth. What can you do when you are out of alignment with the season? Read more
