In Ibiza for the week. Time to party 🥳

Will reply to messages when I’m home! ❤️

Writing a talk on the Saxons today and it’s amaz

Writing a talk on the Saxons today and it’s amazing to me how often the Germanic tribes are so overlooked when it comes to the indigenous spiritual/pagan cultures of this land.

People usually gravitate towards the Celts, I did anyway! There’s this almost romantic idea that they alone represent the pagan identity that we lost all those years ago.

Its strange because we know literally nothing about them from a spiritual perspective, and much of the Celtic wisdom these days is new age stuff dreamt up in the last hundred years. Perhaps that is part of the attraction, because fantasy can be more fun than reality which is often a little underwhelming.

As far as the Druids go, there is no archeological evidence they even existed, and although I’m sure they did - it’s hard to know or trust anything definitive about them. Although the druids of today do great work, they’re not connected to the druids from the Celtic era apart from in name.

Information wise, at least, we know a lot more about Saxon pagan culture.

We have the Lacnunga Spell Book which is a pretty highly detailed account of spells, remedies, techniques and charms from Saxon life. Although “semi-pagan” and only written down when Saxon life became Christianised. Much of it (if not all of it) originated from pagan life.

The language we speak today stems from Old English, which was spoken by the Germanic tribes. Many of our place names and the names of our days of the week are named after the gods and goddesses of Saxon culture.

Wizards were in the kings court until the 7th century and many of our old churches are built on their pagan sacred sites.

We have pretty detailed accounts of ceremony from Germanic culture from their Northern European homelands. We don’t know for sure if they recreated them here, but it is likely.

We have the old English runes (slightly Christianised but most things are).

The Germanic culture is incredibly close to Norse culture, which gives us even more info.

So if you’re interested in the “indigenous” (they all bloody invaded anyway 😂) culture of this land and paganism, don’t forget the Saxons - I have found many answers to questions I had through learning about them.

I spoke about healing responsibility on Patreon th

I spoke about healing responsibility on Patreon the other day and in particular the huge responsibility we have as healers to the invisible world.

This really hit home for me a few months ago, when a Mexican Shaman did a really big healing on me. He had to give a big offering to fire during the healing, and when he is home he has to make a journey to a sacred mountain and give a big offering to that mountain too because it assisted him in healing me.

One healing that probably only took about 15 minutes is hours upon hours of work. That’s the responsibility that he has for healing me.

When we heal, we change the direction of life. Somebody is sick, for whatever reason, and their life is going in one direction. With spirits help, we are able to change that direction and assist that person in walking a different path. That doesn’t just have repercussions for the person being healed, but everyone they meet from that day. It’s like the butterfly effect, and the ripple begins with the healer.

When we heal, a debt is opened up. It is up to us, not the “client”, to repay that debt through offerings. It is a wonderful gift, to be able to help people in a spiritual way. But it is a gift that must be constantly paid back. We create lots of little imbalances in the world, and tear little holes in the fabric of life. It’s up to those who are working with a power capable of this to keep repairing these imbalances and holes by giving physical thanks to the ones who lend that power to us in the first place.

Aside from the practical nature of feeding those who help, it keeps us humble also, and away from the power trip of healing - which is always good!

This is as much a reminder to me as anyone else - healing is graft!

Offerings always! 🕯🔥

There’s been quite an increase in people saying

There’s been quite an increase in people saying “I’m not living in fear!”

Good on ya. Where do I sign up? I can’t get rid of mine! Every time I work through my fears another one seems to pop up. Am I mental? Weak? Just not spiritual enough?

Maybe so!

Or maybe I’m just being realistic and actually fear is an evolutionary reaction that keeps us alive. Keeps us humble. Keeps us striving. Keeps us alert. Let’s be honest it’s probably kept us ticking for the last few million years too. Can’t be that bad.

It’s not the only thing that has attributed to those things. But it’s pretty important. Love is quite good too, but seems to come with a nice side dish of fear anyway - do you really love something if you’re not absolutely terrified of losing it?

So can we escape fear? No. I don’t think so. We can work through our fears but that’s different. Fear is sort of like a spotlight, and you get bored of being scared of one thing and it just finds you another one. Cheers.

We should de-stigmatise fear because it’s really good to have a relationship with it. If we shame fear and run away from anything that frightens us, we lose some of our world to those things. And that’s a shame.

I think the new age is attempting to brush away all the uncomfortable bits of life until we are just a bunch of light working robots who smile all the time and give people uncomfortably long hugs when we meet them.

No thanks. I like being a little frightened. It helps me feel alive. Maybe I’m weird. I was absolutely terrified when I proposed to my fiancé and that went alright. I think she found it cute I was scared too 😂 it’s got me out of a couple of pretty sticky situations as well!

Here’s to fear 🍻❤️

Samhain is an ancient festival that has been held

Samhain is an ancient festival that has been held on this land for potentially the last two and a half thousand years. It is a festival of remembrance, of respect to those no longer with us, and an honouring of the darkness that we now invite in for the winter months of the year.

The communal fires were dispersed between those who worshipped around the great fire, and each took a flame back to their homes to rekindle their hearths.

Some accounts also mention six days of boozing and feasting, and although unfortunately we cannot all do that together - it is a time for dancing merrily around the fire and enjoying life together none the less! 
I invite you to come and lay offerings, and dance and sweat together as a community, huddling close in the sacred sauna of the lodge to give our prayers back to the land and come into balance for the rest of the year - with a great (vegan) feast afterwards!

Please DM to book!

Sorry that I haven’t posted on here for a little

Sorry that I haven’t posted on here for a little bit. I have been swamped with work which I am very grateful for.

A lot of my thoughts over the last few weeks have been about the human spiritual need to understand both our own actions and those of the wider world. What a funny game to play.

We eventually come to a conclusion that sits well enough with us that we stop searching, and call it truth - and gravitate towards that supposed truth as it makes us feel as though we can settle. It never seems to last though, and like a dandelion in the wind suddenly we are dispersed again, floating around looking for the same thing that only moments before we were sure we had grasped firmly in our hands.

I made a decision last week that I had been debating for a while. I know I wasn’t the only one, and without saying what that decision was, I’m sure you can guess. I was torn between the information/misinformation tug of war that seems to have dominated life for the last two years.

So I went and gave some offerings, sat in front of my altar, started to drum and asked spirit. What do I do? Show me, please.

I was stood on a ridge, and in the distance was a great storm. Thunder and lightning, a downpour of rain, silver clouds flashing in the endless skies.

“Don’t get wet”

And it hit home. Three words (or four, sorry grammar police) imbued with the power of a vision did more to make me feel at ease then every single article, paper, graph and statistical analysis I’ve read since this whole mess began.

It’s not the first time I’ve had a message like this. We don’t half love to complicate things - and every time I feel like wading into an argument, or debate, or slanging match of opinions about the shoulds or shouldn’ts of life, I feel that pitter patter of rain as I enter that storm and remember!

“Don’t get wet”

Does this mean I will live life being unopinionated? No. I’m a human, and that’s why we invented fucking umbrellas. And besides, some things are very worth fighting for.

But it is some solace to be reminded that from spirits perspective, at least, that some things only matter as much as you want them to.
