August 22nd – Isa This week’s rune is Isa or Ice, not an easy energy to work with, especially for those of us that find sitting still difficult. However this does seem to be a common theme for people at the moment, a sense that they’re on hold, on the edge of something, waiting and…

11th August 2026 The rune that came forward to work with you through this eclipse week is Wunjo, the rune of Joy. Now I could say that the gift for you this week is Joy, but perhaps not in a way that you would expect. Wunjo was very clear that what it is bringing is…

Each essential oil also has a different number of molecules. Grapefruit, for example, is almost entirely made up of one kind of molecule, limonene, whilst Patchouli, has a diverse number of…

The Green Woman, the Empress of the Forests, offers us abundance a full harvest and a full heart for those that dwell in sacred reciprocity. For those who do not your harvest will be in kind, abundantly so. This is not an act of judgement, punishment or praise, it is simply the cosmic laws in…
