We arrived in Covent Garden, just as the naked cyclists rode by! We were running across the concourse to make sure we didn’t miss them, and one of the street performers called out to Anadi and I, in a good natured fashion, ‘Run hippies…’ I laughed… ‘I have never been called a hippy before…’ But…

When we set out to heal something, deeply, fully, we can never—I mean, never—know what energies, what buried memories, reside in our unconscious, beneath layers upon layers of skin. Shed that skin is all we can do, and is all I could do, back at the New England farmhouse in the summer of 2000. As…

I love my new foot jewellery… they are pink and sort of crocheted; I picked them up yesterday from our Gatwick address and I have worn them ever since… All the delights of shoe shopping and the fun of fashion for the feet whilst still feeling the earth beneath my soles. I tried out my…

It’s already four years! The time has really flown by, I have to say, since I started holding my ‘Women Circle of Wisdom’ on 24th July 2014! It has gone so fast that I only realised after I held my women circle last month that this month it will be my fourth anniversary of my…

“When’s the last time you were in love?” an Argentinean man asked me at a party I attended about three months ago after returning from his country. “Yesterday,” I said, half in jest. Far from satisfied with my response, this man who, shortly afterwards, would become my new love, asked again. “You mean, when was…

The thunder rolled in, across the fields of high grass, along the old New England road outside my window. It arrived at where I sat, in front of my mesa, my Peruvian altar. Hail followed, and wind that soon turned into a vicious summer storm of late afternoon. I had woken up late that day…

Trent Park, a magical fairy tale woodland delight… Dappled shade, dancing beams of golden sun, flashing like swords through the trees… Guiding me on my mission… The secret mission on earth, that I am only discovering and uncovering through living and listening to my intuition; following the clues… The secret mission that I came here…

We stood around the fire under the full moon in a cleared out field of high grasses in New Hampshire. Denise, my Reiki healer and shamanic teacher, placed a stick into the fire and then cleansed the front and back of my hips with it, before blowing Peruvian Agua de Florida, a lavender, rose-water musk,…

“Be Happy.” A phrase that we’ve been throwing around for decades. What does it really mean? Is anyone actually happy? First, realize that the phrase is “be happy,” not “do happy.” So happiness requires a certain state of being, not doing. Now, getting to the “being happy” may require some “doing,” as in reducing work…

When I first began to explore witchcraft and paganism, I came across a symbol that is widely used in jewellery, clothing and accessories. The pentagram is a five-pointed star that has come to represent the occult, or hidden world. Many people see the pentagram as something dark and dangerous, and they shy away from it,…

We went to see the musical ‘Beautiful…’ yesterday afternoon… Anadi’s name for me is ‘Beautiful’ and so it felt a fitting show to go to ? In essence it was the story of Carol King, her amazing gift for song writing and singing, her relationship with her first husband and her courage in finding her…

A month of swimming, sharing dinners, of poetry, prose, and rich dreams, had passed at Jean’s New Hampshire farmhouse. During this time of healing, the rituals and practices remained the same. Every week, I visited Denise, my Reiki energy healer, and every morning, especially after sessions with her, I tracked my dreams in my journal….
