I’ve been busy climbing trees and watching quiet red sunsets with the dead in overgrown churchyards and tuning inwards and loving outwards and discovering new sides of myself and embracing those around me. I’ve been able to immerse in poetry again as of late. And lean into the depths of human emotion far enough to reach new heights from the lows.

Does the solstice bolster your connection to Earth like it does for me? Does Litha lather your life-force cauldron with love and lust? Does Sol stimulate your senses with tingling sensations of your sense of self? Does summer’s ray reawaken the potency of your reality, the unmistakable, remarkable essence of rebirth?

Do you have a favourite oracle deck? Perhaps you have a particular ritual you do alongside each card pull, or a special object you keep nearby to ground you when shuffling the deck. Perhaps you’re a tarot-only kinda dude. Let me know as I love hearing how other witchy peeps explore their craft! 🧙🏻‍♀️

Spring is upon us and I’ve bagged a spot at these incredible events hosted by fabulous folk full of whimsy and magick! These markets are each close to my heart for different individual reasons and I can’t wait to bump into you there and share my latest creations with you. 🤓

“Deepen” has quietly emerged as my new word for 2026.
