Lost your connection?

Last updated on: November 21, 2016 at 1:03 pm   By Rachel Patterson

One of the questions I get asked a lot is “I have lost my spiritual connection or connection to my pathway, how do I get it back”? Firstly…remember you aren’t alone – it happens to us all, it really does. Life likes to throw us challenges and slip blockages into our pathway - all of these and the usual mundane life stuff can get in the way of our spiritual journey. If it has happen to you don’t panic. Read more

The Moon…what’s yours called?

Last updated on: November 14, 2016 at 10:18 am   By Rachel Patterson

Each monthly moon has a name and these are different in each culture, region, country, faith or religion – many, many different names but usually they refer to the season, the weather or what the people are up to at that time of the year. Read more

Moon Science

Last updated on: November 8, 2016 at 8:54 pm   By Rachel Patterson

The clever science bods reckon that when the Earth was in its infancy there was no moon at all *gasp*…then on some undetermined date a rogue planet smashed into the Earth like a cosmic game of pool, this caused the rogue planet to be obliterated and knocked a chunk off the side of the Earth too. Read more

Into the dark depths of November…

Last updated on: November 2, 2016 at 11:15 am   By Rachel Patterson

It is a good month to work with the dark gods and goddesses but I do like to bring a bit of flare into it because my chosen deities for this month are two Loas...Maman Brigitte and Baron Samedi who sweep into November with colourful rum infused mayhem. Read more

The new moon in Scorpio is a good time 'just let it go'...don't hold onto negative stuff because all it really does is fester and you are the one that suffers, trust that karma will kick butt on your behalf. Read more

She is ancient…

Last updated on: October 24, 2016 at 10:25 am   By Rachel Patterson

She can appear to be fearsome and she is most definitely powerful as the hag of winter, woman of stones, bone mother, a goddess of death, the dark mother, the harvest goddess, an ancestress who rules the dark half of the year and is as ancient as the earth itself but she does have a nurturing side, she is the spirit of the land and allows us to peek at the wisdom we need to let go of what no longer serves us and look forward to what is yet to come. Read more

Halloween in England

Last updated on: October 21, 2016 at 9:24 pm   By Rachel Patterson

Although there is a lot of folklore about All Hallows Eve originating from parts of the UK which is probably correct - I hate to disappoint people…Halloween as we know it with the fancy dress, carved pumpkins and trick or treating only really came to England about fifteen or so years ago (from my personal recollection anyway). Read more

Sunday 16th October full moon is in Aries but moves into Taurus so what does that mean magically? Well…the full moon in Taurus does bring a steady, earth element kind of energy with it – Taurus is a bull after all… There are several things to focus on with this full moon such as bringing energy back into whatever you are doing and finding a way to balance your feelings, emotions and what goes on in your every day life. Read more

Moon Magic…the beginnings

Last updated on: October 12, 2016 at 8:31 am   By Rachel Patterson

Since man has walked on this planet I suspect he has always looked to the stars at night and it wouldn’t have taken him very long to work out that the moon had regular phases. Not only would man have worked with the seasons but he would also have had to pay attention to the moon because on a dark/new moon it would have been pretty black at night so his hunting would have been done during the day, however on the nights of the full moon he would have been able to track nocturnal animals to bop on the head for his supper. Read more
