The longest day or night, dependant upon which hemisphere you are viewing it from, is a still point. In our orbit around the sun we have reached a zenith. From our point of view from Earth, the Sun has reached it’s highest or lowest point in the sky and from here on, until the next…

This week’s rune is Gifu or Gibu, the Gift. The sacred wheel of reciprocity. Keeping balance and harmony, as the water wheel can only turn when the same amount of water flows in as flows out. It is no wonder that Gifu has become the symbol for a kiss, two fires (Kennaz) mirroring each other.…

Despite streaming hay-fever  all day and being the fodder of choice for the local community of horse flies, the sun shone its blessings upon our trail, as we hunted out the source of the River Tone, up on Exmoor near Raleigh’s Cross. The ridge road towards Dulverton was closed at the Chapel turning to Wheddon…

This week’s rune is Ansuz, the word or voice. This rune is all about communication, verbal communication, whether written, spoken, sung or whispered.

It speaks of equal partnerships, collaborations formed by mutual respect, understanding…

New moons offer us the opportunity to bring into the light something that has been held out of sight, or our awareness. This new moon is offering us a reset, a chance to look deeply, honestly with a heart focus on what we want to bring into our futures. The energies surrounding this super new…

Sunday 19th July 2026 Come and unwinded, rest and recuperate in the natural beauty of the Somerset levels landscape. A day of pampering treatments, sauna, mindfulness meditation, yoga and more. A wholesome, homemade vegetarian lunch will be proved, with plenty of selections and variety for vegan and gluten intolerance needs. Please do let me know…

Each week I will pull a rune and ask what energy we are being asked to work with for the week. This week’s rune is Sowelo, the gladdener, the sun and in many ways this rune is very similar to The Sun card in the Tarot. It is about abundance, joy, fulfilment, growth, happiness, dreams…
