Love bomb; a poem
I was inspired to write this poem after listening to several friends express hurt over small things that nonetheless exploded their sense of self and confidence. I began to imagine creating the opposite with a love bomb! Simultaneously, I was attending an excellent online course by Trust the People, facilitating work with others in our neighbourhoods to shape our society into one that serves the needs of all. They have some excellent tools for overcoming the inevitable challenges that arise in human relating.
Spiritual guidance November/December 2023: New myths and collective visions
Here’s my spiritual guidance November/December 2023, covering the month beginning with the Scorpio new moon at 9.27am on November 13th (in the UK). I draw one card from the Thoth Tarot to explore the key energy of these four weeks, and then take a quick look at the astrology.

This is the first time I’ve pulled the same card for two months in succession. It’s not a big surprise that the disruptive potentials of last month’s eclipses continue to reverberate through the cosmos; that’s the nature of eclipses.
There’ll be blue birds; held in the web of life
In the interconnected web of life in which I live, nothing happens in isolation. There are many threads of that web along which energy is resonating to arrive at the point at which I sit in any given moment. I am always in communication with this web and it responds to the energy I’m pulsating across it. Whether I’m sending out healing, asking a question, or making a request for help and inspiration, the message is heard and elicits a response.

What an appropriate card for this lunar month’s eclipses, as they always activate intense and often unexpected change.
Daughters of the moon; a poem
Many thanks to the artist Lisbeth Cheever-Gessaman who inspired “Daughters of the moon” with the beautiful painting you see here, entitled “The moon and her daughters”. You can see more of her wonderful work at http://www.shewhoisart.com/.
She sings them to the salt-spiced edge,
Voice lilting on the air to hearkening hearts.
Whispering words not heard by ear but felt
As a tide-pull of longing and belonging,
Answered deep and low within the pelvic bowl.

You don’t need to know exactly what it means yet.
Just stay curious -
about what you value,

A coastal walk revealed something magical 🌊
As the sea spray rose, shapes began to form, first dancing figures… then a face. Zooming in, I saw the laughing Old Woman of the Sea looking back at me. Take a look… 👁️

As we leave the Easter weekend, this is what my heart is singing:
"We all live under the same sky
We all will live, we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
The circle only has one side"
- Lyrics from "Side" by Travis
