December 2004

Hello, my name is Willow and I’m slightly OCD.  I love taking a walk along the edge of Derwentwater, Keswick, along a path to Friar’s Crag.  There are a couple of places where I virtually always stop to take a photo or three.  I’m tempted to say I always stop there but … that’s too risky   The OCD aspect shows here, there is a small bush growing in a stone wall where I have stood to take photos for many years.  These are since I first got a digital camera back in 2004 up to a walk I took just this Friday gone, 6th March 2012.  Often the visit is sparked by the pagan calendar of the year, especially the solstices and equinoxes, at others it’s simply for the joy of the walk.  Enjoy

Christmas Carols have been playing in the shops for ages now but there are a few Yule songs, my favourite Yuletide song is the pagan version of Silent Night, it just calms my soul  …

As the day brightens I pray the God and Goddess brighten our lives this year.

As the days lengthen may all parts of our lives, from the smallest to the largest, grow and prosper.  Brightest Blessings to you on this Longest Night.

Fingers Crossed ;o)

hope, pagan, tarot reading

I’ve not visited Lotus Tarot for a fair while, can’t in fact remember when I last did so.  However I did so this night, went for a Universal 6 Card spread and truly hope it is correct, especially the outcome!

Oakleaf Lammas Camp 2005

Oakleaf is the last weekend in July, I know it’s a while away yet but I get excited about it early lol. Anyhooo point being I was saving something about the camp and came across this, the file name caught my eye, it’s called Oakleaf Camp 2005 ~ my story about it. This was the very first time I went to Oakleaf, this year will be fourth
