For the second of my blogs celebrating Pride Month, Gay Spirituality and the LGBTQ+ Community I wanted to explore “LGBTQ+ Archetypes” or those gods and goddesses who are recorded as having LGBTQ+ natures. Although I am sure the list below will contain some deities that you – dear reader – are less familiar with I am sure too that some…
The first of my Gay Spirituality LGBTQ+ blogs this month (June 2021) in honour of Pride month focuses on the Pride Flag. Sometimes called the Gay Pride Flag, the Rainbow Flag or the LGBT Pride Flag it has evolved and changed since its creation into that flag depicted at the header of this post but I want to start with…
This is the last of my posts for May on crystals – next month I will start with a brand new topic for the month but undoubtedly return to crystals later on in the year. I want to end my little run on the wonderful world of Calcite then by talking about a very new form of Calcite … new…
Aquatine Lemurian Calcite (sometimes called Blue Onyx) is – I must say a relatively new one on me! I only encountered the stone last year for the first time, ever late to the party but instantly fell in love! There is something incredibly evocative about the stone – from its dreamy colour, which conjures visions of glassy warm tropical oceans…
The second Calcite I have decided to write about this month is Mangarno Calcite.

Not only does it have a powerful soothing effect upon the heart and the emotional body but it also…
This month (May2021) I will be focusing on an AMAZING and yet highly underrated crystal – Calcite! Edgar Cayce – the famous American “sleeping prophet” of the late 1800’s once said in trance that Calcite was the “… crystal of the New Age …” and yet in comparison to its mineral brothers and sisters it is often considered to be…
In Alchemy the vessel in which the Prima Materia (prime matter – the thing that is being changed) is placed is called the Alembic – other wise known as “the Philosophic Egg”. The Alembic has a rounded exterior mirroring in many ways the shape of the Yoni – the sacred gateway to the magic of the Mother of Creation –…
The time is approaching when – slowly – our world will begin to return to normal, however many of us are fast becoming aware that whilst we have been in seclusion the world that we left behind has changed. Not only on the outside but also within and so the world we return to – though similar – will have…
This last couple of weeks have been tough – maybe because we now have our “road map” out of lockdown outlined – and that last leg of the race when the finishing line is in sight is always the hardest. Or maybe because this lockdown has just been the one thats broken the camels back! Either way Andrew and I…
Any one who knows me is well aware of my difficulty with meditation! Not that I can’t meditate – because I can – and not that my meditations don’t get results – because they do! However if I endeavour to meditate any longer than 20 minutes – from top to bottom – I am asleep and snoring on the floor,…
