I've Started A New Blog
It happened, the other week, that I finally launched my new blog. There’s not much there, as yet, but you’re welcome to come see and have a read of what does exist. I have lists, many lists of posts I want to create. So new writings are very high on the horizon.

A Wyrd Of Her Own
Hallo, hallo. I hope you’re surviving this most surreal of Summers as best you can. We’re past the height of it now though, and King Winter is on the move. For those of you who are interested, I have a new website – A Wyrd Of Her Own. I’ll also soon be blogging at How Wyrd Of Her and A Nordic Fever. I hope we’ll meet again soon on this wyrd web. Be well, friends, and be gentle with the Earth as…

The Last Conversation : An Interview With Wordsmith Bob Beagrie
This will be the last post I will publish on Wyrd Words & Effigies. I can’t think of a better way of bringing this lengthy journey (I’ve been publishing here since 2013) to a close than by featuring a conversation with one of the most significant figures to have played a role in my life as a writer. I was eighteen (I’m thirty-six now) when I met renowned Teesside poet Bob Beagrie and ever…

Write It Out
I posted what you’re about to read on social media. I thought it ought to have a home here too. P.S. In light of my life being upended, my blogging has been neglected, so I’ll be leaving behind the 100 Days Of Blogging series and will come back to posting regularly when I feel ready and able. Write It Out If I had to choose between finding and spending the rest of my life with my soulmate or…

100 Days Of Blogging #38 - There's Been Some Life In My Life
I’ve been gone a little while. Life has been happening, and I’ve permitted myself to be a part of it. In the past, the guilt I would have experienced about not keeping up with something I’d set out to do would have been brutally heavy and mean. It would have mentally beaten me to a wretched pulp. But I’m pro-living these days. I’m pro-not-giving-a-fuck. I blogged for over a month before a day…

100 Days Of Blogging #37 - Swordstress
Another day when time has been EATEN UP. But it’s been eaten up by important things like watching lambs, editing poetry and gathering photos together for not one but TWO photography publications I’ll be putting out this year. However I do have a photo to share form yesterday’s shoot with my buddy Ian from Smoggywood Productions.

100 Days Of Blogging #36 - There's A Witch In The Forest
Not much for you today folks, I’m afraid. I was out for most of the afternoon being photographed in the forest waving around a sword and trying not to trip over my billowing robes (aka a black, roughed up sheet hoiked up around my waist with a hair tie) and am well and truly knackered. My brain stopped functioning properly about two hours ago. So here is a portrait I shot the other day and which…

100 Days Of Blogging #35 - The Moody Art Of Aron Wiesenfeld
Through my friend Sarah Elizabeth’s book The Art of Darkness, I was introduced to the work of Aron Wiesenfeld. There’s a Post-It Note on the page featuring Wiesenfeld’s oil on panel piece The Pit with a scribble of text saying, ‘do a photo series inspired by this.’ I set out to do so the other day, though it didn’t go to plan, namely because I couldn’t find a pit to gaze mournfully into. “The…

100 Days Of Blogging #34 - I Did That Thing You Should Never Do
When I signed back up to Instagram, I knew it would come with problems, and one reared its ugly head last night. I logged on to share something, and a list of ‘suggested friends’ came up. As (my dreadful) luck would have it, there was the ex’s profile. I thought, ‘don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it.’ But I did it. Of course I did. I clicked on that damn profile thinking, ‘I bet it’s exactly…

100 Days Of Blogging #33 - Probably The Most Random Blog Post Of The All But Bear With Me
A stash of 47 copies of Zero Tolerance Magazines have been in my parent’s loft for the past several years. Before I saw the box, I was thinking of trying to sell them, but once I started pulling them out, I was smashed with the heaviest wave of nostalgia and started thinking ‘I really don’t know if I can part with these for real.’ The first one I leafed through was Issue 40 April/May 2011 and…

100 Days Of Blogging #31 - It's Been A While Since A Dark Art Binge
I let myself do something I haven’t done in a LONG time tonight; I went onto Pinterest and wandered, collecting darkly inspired art as I went. Before doing so, I thought about the considerable length of time that’s gone by since I engraved this blog with dark art from other creatives. Sharing dark art was one of the primary reasons WW&E was established, but as time has moved, so has this blog,…

100 Days Of Blogging #31 - She's Different, That One
I don’t have much to say today because I’m tired. as. fuck. I do, however, have a self-portrait to share from a glorious walk I took this afternoon. I was the only one for miles, so it seemed, and it made me so freaking joyous. I’ve been feeling ‘urgh!’ about my figure recently and I’m not comfortable in my skin. But I’ll save that drama for another day.

100 Days Of Blogging #30 - My Friend The Stoat
I saw a stoat the other week. It was a fleeting moment, like, mere seconds, but I’m still carrying the magic of it with me. I whispered, ‘be safe, friend,’ as it threw itself away from the footpath and bounded into the woodland. I said ‘be safe’ primarily because the stoat was fleeing into woodland where, a week previous, I’d had a run-in with a gamekeeper who told me I was walking on private…

100 Days Of Blogging #29 - It's Ok To Not Be On Fire
It’s been a weird few days. Ill health seems to be the overriding theme of my life at the moment. Yesterday I was told I have IBS, and I’ve been referred on the two-week rule to see a dermatologist for a mole that’s snuck into my life. I’m handling the mole thing surprisingly well. My doctor said to me: ‘I’m being extra cautious. I’d be very surprised if it was something serious.’ When I was…

100 Days Of Blogging #28 - Hares On The Mountain
I was at a friend’s house in Reykjavik a while back, hanging out and listening to music, when Hares on the Mountain, sung by Shirley Collins in 1964, came on his Spotify. (He has the most exquisite taste in music.) I remember sitting bolt up and shouting, ‘WHO’S THIS?!’ I knew by the second verse that Cave Mouth would have to do a cover. And we finally have done, with a Witch Folk twist. Meghan…

100 Days Of Blogging #27 - I'm Tired But That's Ok
I’m tired. So writing something lengthy and comprehensible will not be happening this evening. And I’m ok with that. Or, at least, I’m learning how to be ok with that, with being tired. However, I’ll be damned if I miss a day from this challenge. Instead, I’m offering a few profound quotes from some wise folk about joy, love and courage, which I scratched down in my notebook this week. When…

100 Days Of Blogging #26 - I Have A Thing For The Valkyrie In The Northman
I enjoyed Robert Egger’s film The Northman. However, it wasn’t my favourite of his, nor my second favourite, to be honest. My favourite is The Witch, followed by The Lighthouse. The Northman was visually spectacular, but the narrative didn’t hold me captive in the way I’d imagined it would. The ending is something special though and I massively appreciate the serious attention paid to get it…
