No prizes for knowing that I bloody LOVE tarot. Which means that some of the worst myths REALLY ANNOY ME! Join me for a healthy debunking session of some of the worst offenders... Witchy… Greatest Tarot Myths Debunked!

New video up today (after a lot of coughing and sneezing this week!).

Just finished recording this week's video a few days early as I'm going to be partying at my son and daughter-in-law's wedding this weekend. This is due to drop on Youtube at 4pm GMT! The past few times I've tried to schedule a delayed drop I've managed to completely mess it up, so fingers crossed!

A leaf fell on you. Is it an omen or a portent? How to spot what is a sign, and what is not... Existing Whilst Witchy: Mabon? Autumn Equinox. It doesn't matter! Enjoy the season, regardless of… Is it an Omen?

New video on Signs and Omens up!

I've just updated the audiobook of "Aradia: Gospel of the Witches" which chapters 14 & 15. We're going to head off into the appendices next time! Next book up will likely be Robert Kirk's "The Secret Commonwealth", but let me know any copyright free suggestions!

New video up - I'm expecting some VERY ANGRY COMMENTS on this one!

Getting ready to record this week's video, & found this in my phone pictures. Don't buy candles in things that aren't designed to hold LITERAL BURNING LIQUIDS. Because this is what happens. No crystals or herbs in this one, even.

Today has been insane: read 3 chapters of audiobook, recorded, edited and published normal video, edited and published vlog, recorded edited and published top tier patreon video. Went out for anniversary meal, no about to start full moon ritual. Blimey!

New video up for today, I'm also working on a down and dirty iPhone Vlog about the Autumn work and magical workings that I'm getting done at the moment - keep your eyes out for that in the very near future!

I mean: don't get me wrong. It's going to be pretty, and it's a great time to do a bit of magic but it's not an incredibly rare "once in a lifetime" shizzle. People telling you that should be viewed a little suspiciously, because they don't actually know what they are talking about.

Prepare for the imminent onslaught of people who want to appear dark and mysterious (but actually don't know squat) telling you about the incredibly rare and mystical, magical BLOOD MOON TONIGHT!
Reminder: Blood Moons happen between 2 and 4 times EVERY F***ING YEAR. It's just an eclipse.

One of the ways to get used to hearing aids, apparently, is to read aloud for 30 mins a day. So I've decided to read Leland's "Aradia: Gospel of the Witches" as a copyright free audiobook in small chunks. I'll be putting it onto my Patreon as I do it, available for ALL paid levels.

Aplogies for my absence over the weekend - I've been busy! New video up now:

Featuring a silly hat, my weekend, a ridiculous meme and my having a bit of a cry....

New Patreon post: Beginner Book Review for Non-Wiccan Witches!

I drank a lot of mead. And then I ranted. I suspect I may have angered a load of people. Whoops!

New video up! Mostly featuring me ranting about how much I hate those who rip off genuine spiritual seekers. GRRR!!! Also an exploding herb dryer for light relief, though....

Mr GOC is partially sighted, and I used to work for RNIB, so have loads of friends with visual impairments. Frustrating that society wants VI peeps to integrate, but when they do, some arse says, “You don’t look blind to me!” And acts like a discriminatory arsehole. Grrrrrr!!!!

Things that have made happy today: discovering these glass evil eye charms for £1 for 20 in our local cut-price stationery and bookshop (“The Works”). Last time I looked for these I ended up on Etsy buying them for £1.50 EACH!

I spent last weekend at an English Fantasy Festival - I've only just recovered, so apologies for it being a little late, but here's my vlog! (ish). Oh, and a whinge about entitled eejits. Because I don't like entitled eejits.

Better late than never - video up and live! Some serious talk, but best of all - description and pictures of the weirdest shop I've ever been in...

Lots of people have asked what my garden is looking like right now - rather than do another video tour, here's a view from my study window. Everything is growing really well, and it rained today!

New post day! Today I'm talking about why you should be allowed to be interested in any aspect of witchcraft you like....

I think I found it. You may have struck oil here, Jixie….. I have to go and read …

New post up, despite noisy neighbours, punishing heat and a sunburned head. Go me!

Apologies for the length of the video I'm just uploading. It's like uploading an elephant. But it was a review video and I just couldn't stop myself. I'm so sorry...Taster thumbnail below whilst I'm waiting for the file to finish rendering on my computer before I can upload it to Youtube. Blimey!

I may have bought a couple of witchy subscription boxes for review. One came yesterday. Hooooo boy. This could be a long video…

Manchester is a hard one for us (why do roads make it harder to get to Manchester than London? Makes no sense! ). Would be lovely to organise a get together of people at some point, at a useful location. Might be a job for next year!

It is on my list for this year, but I’ve got a lot other things on the list too 🤣. I’m trying to draft in some help, so fingers crossed!

Spent all day getting ready for the Mystical Market in Calow, Chesterfield tomorrow! A very short run of hand-blended ritual oils and a Midsummer incense, all packed in my signature hand-pyrographied presentation boxes. I'm really chuffed with how these look!
