There is lots of talk about change at the moment. 2016 was very traumatic, and I think there is probably a general sense that people tried to make things happen gently and peacefully, but in the end, they just didn’t quite get the results they were hoping for. Now, I do not advocate violence. Indeed,…

My journey as a medicine person has come to a place where most things come down to 2 very simplistic foundations: awareness and integrity. Also, energy-in, energy-out.. Awareness applies to everything: that we operate on many levels, and we need to become aware of what we transmit and receive on all of them. Physical level–…

I am a witch. It took a long time for me to accept this label. I’ve always loved the romantic notion of a witch, I lapped up the pop culture when I was younger (Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Morticia Addams), and I read books about witches whenever I can. Now I am even beginning to…

I decided to call myself the Pagan Housewife for the purposes of my blog. I felt like I needed something to encompass the subjects I write about, and since I write about aspects of daily life, my spiritual adventures, and of course, my books, then I needed something to reflect that. I am pagan. It…

In times gone by, humans were more in tune with the environment they lived in. Today, we have little connection to nature and the planet. The ancient wisdom that was often passed down through story-telling and tradition seems to have been forgotten or lost. The understanding of the importance of different geometric shapes and patterns…

I recently attended a spiritual retreat for a weekend on which I was introduced to the ways of our Shaman ancestors, and I was shown how sound therapy is a powerful tool in healing ourselves both physically, mentally and emotionally. We all acknowledge how music and song can affect humans in different ways. We all…

(Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3) As the night wore on I found myself sitting cross-legged staring down the hillside, feeling the chill creep in to my body. I was wrapped in my big purple furry blanket, with a poncho and an insulated waterproof jacket, thick jeans and walking boots. I began to feel…

As my fire vision quest (Part 1, Part 2) continued through the night, I learned a lot about my place in the land around me. Rather than feeling detached, unsettled and confused, I am now completely aware of why I am here and what I am here to do. All my life I have wandered…

Continuing from my previous post, I woke from sleep after around half an hour or so. I couldn’t see my watch because it was dark, although it wasn’t as pitch black as I had anticipated. In fact, I have sat for hours in pitch-black rooms before now, on my ghost hunt investigations over the years….

I want to write about my first proper vision quest. Admittedly it is not something I ever planned to do. All I knew about vision quests was that they are a shaman ritual, and I had seen vague references to them in the Simpson’s movie. Yes, I was very culturally ignorant before a certain spiritual…

Hello and Happy Thursday to you all, I would like to talk a bit about my ancestry which is for the most part Cherokee. In studying my family history in this lifetime, and many from the past, I have come to a realization. The form of healing work that I do is Reiki, but also…

Shamanism, as old and mystical as it is, may be re-appropriated and practiced by Westerners in their everyday life and may constitute a new way of life based on ancestral wisdoms. Our ancestors understood that freedom is based on fitting into a Cosmos where all is One and where the One carried an expression of…
