At 8.30pm this Saturday lights will be switched off for an hour all over the world. The time is the local time for wherever you happen to be, so please do join this event in your own homes. If everyone did this it would send an undeniable message to governments throughout the world about our [...]

Well the Apogee Duet interface arrived from Jigsaw24.com at the appointed time, as usual – if you’re a Mac user I’d thoroughly recommend this company. The installation was a breeze with one CD disc that contained the Maestro software that is used to set up the device. Once installed I was asked if I wanted [...]

I’ve just got back from the Wessex Gathering, a wonderfully vibrant Pagan camp that is held near Corfe Castle, Dorset. The drive to the venue takes you through some of the most beautiful countryside in England. I didn’t play at last year’s as I’d already been booked elsewhere, so it was lovely to get back [...]

Imagine a Cauldron hanging over a fire, it’s in a small room, dark, the air smelling of rich herbs carried on the steam. The contents of the cauldron, bubbling, glimmering red, blue, yellow, shimmering with light, stirred by a youth whose attention is on other far-away things. The cauldron has been bubbling for a year [...]

Power animals.
Totems.
Obviously Native American, but if we look for evidence of tribal totemism within ancient British society it is there, and now within modern Paganism many people have been called by the power of certain beasts to take them as inspiration to be better, stronger – to absorb the essence of that animal into their [...]

Two days ago Cerri and I were having a snowball fight in the Troodos Mountains in Cyprus. We went there for some sunshine and warmth amidst the British Winter, and apparently chose to holiday during the worst week for weather Cyprus had seen in 5 years! Having said that it mattered not. The country is [...]

The Muse. The cause of the Fire in the Head, the Awen, Imbas, inspiration. A blessing, sometimes frustrating, often turns up late, at least in my experience, but what is it? The answer, as with anything metaphysical isn’t clear or definitive. The Muse can take many shapes, sometimes a feeling, sometimes a figure of myth, [...]

I created this little video some months ago, and I don’t know why I didn’t post a blog about it then. The words are from a poster produced by the Order of Bards Ovates and Druids, written by my good friend Philip Carr-Gomm. The music is Merlin am I from my Hills they are Hollow [...]

I watched the Trinny and Susannah show last week that showed the 100+ people walking all over the Long Man of Wilmington for a stunt to turn him into different shaped women. The show was incredibly cleverly edited to show the Pagan protesters as spoilsports with no point to make. In fact one woman interviewed [...]
