Self-Care vs. Self-Nourishment in the Pursuit of Happiness

I’ve been clarifying what I want from life and what I want to do with it. All the work I’ve done with Goddess energy has given me the areas of interest: nourishment, creativity, healing and intuition. However, it’s nourishment that has been the biggest theme and had the most impact on my life. I turned to nourishment when my hair was falling out a couple of years ago and I wasn’t in a good…

Full Moon 80s Retro Tarot Spread: Pretty in Pink

I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t paid much attention to what’s going on astrologically. I know from chatter on social media that a bunch of planets are going retrograde and that today’s full moon is a pink moon.

A while ago I started doing full moon spreads based on 80s musicand with the pink moon, I thought I’d resurrect the full moon tarot spreads this month. So we have a full moon…

How to work with Goddess energy

Last night I was talking at the Southampton Positive Living Group about connecting with goddess energies. I have been so focused on the qualities of the divine feminine and how to bring those into your life that I’ve missed the obvious: how to initially work with goddesses or goddess energy.

It wasn’t until I got home that I realised how difficult it can be to step into a new spiritual arena.…

One Man's God is Another Man's Demon

One Man’s God is Another Man’s Demon

I’ve been lucky enough in all my years online not to have acquired a troll. Goddess Rising, however, marked my arrival in trolldom with my very first review of the book on Amazon marked with a one-star because I don’t know what I’m writing about. The troll has spread to also give me further one-stars on my previous publications even though he/she/it hasn’t read them.

The thing that has…

When The Inner Goddess Revolution was published it was a very quiet affair. There was cake but it was a little celebration at home.

At lot has changed over two years. Since then I’ve been doing talks and going places and meeting all kinds of wonderful people so when my friend Jane asked if I’d like to have a book launch at Chi Coffee in Portsmouth, I jumped at the chance.

My heart is full from yesterday’s book launch for Goddess Rising.

Goddess Rising Book Launch! When The Inner Goddess Revolution was published it was a very quiet affair. There was cake but it was a little celebration at home.

Time to Rise

If you’ve been following my sporadic posts over the past couple of years, you’ll know that I’ve struggled with writing my second book. My first book The Inner Goddess Revolution was published 2-years ago (almost to the day) and I knew if I was serious about writing and authoring I needed to, well, write.

I haven’t written much. Not much on my website. Not much anywhere.

I tried to write what I…

Goddess Rising in March

My next book, Goddess Rising, will be coming out at the end of March.

It isn’t the book I intended to launch but I was told by ‘them upstairs, the one I was writing (in starts-and-stops for the past 2 years) will be after this one. Goddess Rising is a collection of 52 different goddesses, Her stories and how to use Her energy/influence in your own life.

I have a huge chunk of the writing finished…

The Sacred Gift of Runner Beans

You hear so often it’s the little things in life that matter.

It’s not the fancy car or the big house or the designer shoes or even the cupboard overflowing with latest gadgets.

When all is said and done, when it’s time for you to leave this existence and travel to your next adventure, you won’t care about how much stuff you had. It’s the memories that matter – the little things that can’t be…

Results of the Great Chakra Experiment

Although science is yet to prove the existence of chakras, the non-muggle world happily accepts there are invisible spinning wheels of energy hovering in, or just above, our bodies. There are seven main chakras – root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third-eye and crown – and each one is associated with specific body-mind-spirit conditions.

If your chakras are balanced then life is good.…

Hello 2017 Tarot Spread

Last year I devised a little new year tarot spread. I’d forgotten all about it until I was leafing through my journal from a year ago. There it was: Hello 2016 Tarot Spread.

I read through my personal notes. I looked at the cards. And then had a ‘I can’t believe how accurate that reading was’ moment. With hindsight, I can see the significance in the cards clearer than I could a year ago.

I’v…

Journey to Retrieve My Soul

Over the past couple of years, I’ve watched myself become less enthusiastic about most things. My Pisces laid back ‘I’ll-just-float-along’ attitude did, at least, used to be coupled with a sense of direction, albeit not always very focused. I would propel myself forward, just not always in a straight line or with any speed.

I have struggled to get any momentum going. There have been times when

Purging 2016 & Keeping the New Year Word

I’m sitting in bed typing. I’m in the last minutes of the first day of a new year.

I spent the final day of the last year with a stomach bug. It hit me suddenly and, thankfully, I’m on the mend today. I managed to go grocery shopping but that was all. I had to sit down and stay still or else I’d feel faint and be sick.

I’m grateful for the sickness.

During the Christmas season, I wasn’t so…

Mother's Night

Mother’s Night

For most people Christmas Eve means rushing about in a state of panic because they’ve forgotten the turkey or one of the kid’s Christmas presents. It’s a last minute consumer grab before the serious business of gift wrapping, cooking and drinking begins.

If you take a pause in between the madness, you’ll hear the echos of an almost forgotten celebration on 24th December: Mother’s Night.

How to have a solo sacred cacao ceremony

Sunday was the third time I’ve taken part in a cacao ceremony. Previously I’d had the ceremony at home but the last time I co-hosted a group through the ceremony.

As the cacao ceremony was combined with a chocolate workshop, there are some things I’d do differently next time (like offer a cacao ceremony without the chocolate) but there are always going to be details to iron out. Anyhoo, it…

The Call of Sacred Earth

There’s a concept in some African spiritual beliefs and New World religions of the world being a marketplace. It’s where everything can be bought, sold or bartered; friendships formed; laughter shared and romances begun.

It’s not a fluorescent-light lit, warehouse-sized building but a vibrant community that is the glue, and perhaps the soul, of the world.

The marketplace is under the protection…

Save The Date: 31 March 2017

My break from writing ended on Monday. I had until the end of October to get into a better writing place and to be gentle with myself over my son moving out (and the adjustment to one less body at home).

Yesterday, good to my word, I dug my skeleton book, fatally lean with only 6,500 words, out of its dusty digital hideaway. My plan was to print it off and review so I could jump back into the…
