(The wheel turns. The dancer must rest) Be still now What is life without loss? What is joy without love ? What is Earth with Spirit? Remember.

I stumbled out the Great Sea with legs unsure and unformed. Millennia passed as I grazed and clawed, grew limbs, and shook off my scales.

To mark the occasion we had a small sale last week with some bubbles and delicious home-made cake made our resident Angel and healer, Loretta McCabe. Looking back over the last year I have learnt so much about making a… Continue reading The First Solar Return of RSL
After an incredible and lively party on Halloween, enjoyed by both people and energetic beings alike, we have focused on the themes of regeneration and renewal. Samhain, the pagan ritual from which we take most of our Halloween hullabaloo, denoted Summer's End and a time to honour the ancestors, reflect upon life and death and… Continue reading Wave Goodbye, Say Hello
Wowee my natal Moon in most heavily aspected today! At the time of writing this the transit Moon is taking office in the sensible, serious sign of Capricorn trining my Moon offering messages of practical, structured support.
