The Dance is an old Beltane inspired piece. Every time I meditate to this piece it takes me to the the primeval forests when the old ones danced with us round the blessed fires. #beltane #pagan #paganart #nomeart

The battle continues, even while still embracing hope and acknowledging grief. A fitting reading for these days of war and the slow but inexorable collapse of climate and civilisation. These are indeed the days of contradictions, hope and grief as we battle on to try and realise a new way of living, a different way of existing… of just battling to survive when we will need hope more than anything amongst the coming carnage, it looks like change must come through destruction before we can transform. Would have been great to pull the World card again, but in the end this feels more accurate…. here’s to a new moaning monday everyone #oldwaysmagickoracle #indieoracle #oracledeck #pagan #paganart #sacredart #nomeart

We spent yesterday emptying the she shed and finally got insulation on the walls and ceiling. So now I will neither freeze nor bake and can start painting and creating in my own space again.… It feels good to be turning a corner, new growing season, exciting collaborative projects and my first morning meditation in this space for what seems like an eon… Grounded again and wishing everyone a grand day#sacredspace #altar #pagan #oracle #indieoracledeck #oldwaysmagickoracle #sacredart #paganart #nomeart

After dedicating the dark moon to work with Ash through death and rebirth. For the new moon and into the next month I will work with Alder, look outwards, take action and not shy from any challenges ahead. It’s the time to harness the quickening energies of the growing season and step forth on the path with new fervour and commitment.
Alder Fearn: The Warrior Tree, The Tree of Nobel Causes
Lunar month: March 18th - April 14th
Element: fire and water
Animal: Hawk and Hare
Meaning: Shield and protect, heal and nourish
Lesson of Alder: Feed your fire and take action, be courageous, then heal with water … #alder #treespirit #ogham #pagan #paganart #sacredart #nomeart

So this full moon I pulled only one card … Ursus for protection. Blessed full moon and let us welcome this coming equinox with open arms, offering protection and safety to all in need ✨#fullmoon #oldwaysmagickoracle #oracledeck #pagan #paganart #sacredart #nomeart

Healing Herbs- I love this piece so much, a dedication to balance and harmony, and another image created with the energies of equinox … When the world seems to be crashing down about me this reminds me to breathe. To see everything in balance, everything with a place, a time… even amongst the drama and chaos of life death and rebirth. 
As in nature, we must combine disparate parts to create a healthy, harmonious whole. In the chaos and noise…
Be still! 
Listen to the earth
find balance and heal. #equinox #balanceandharmony #pagan #paganart #sacredart #healingart #nomeart

I have had a few folk ask what books I recommend and I decided the easiest way was take a photo of some of my favourites, including the book of pagan poetry ‘Duelling Dragons’ which I am still so proud and chuffed to have been a part of. This is my working book case at the moment, it changes according to my needs or focus but some of these beauties I always return to. Wishing everyone a wonderful Wednesday and I hope you have time to read a comforting book or look at some inspiring art or listen to some magical music. #bookcases #favouritebooks #paganbookshelf #nomeart

I have been absent for the last few days as I have been trying to process the emotions and energies stirred up from recents events. When every horror and worry of my cold war childhood have come to the fore once again.
With the tumultuous energies of war and deep sorrow of the people swirling around me I finished a piece I have been struggling with for some time, and finally had a very real reason to be birthed. As an artist this is my way of recording and reflecting the life and times I live in. #StandWithUkrain

Branwen - Love and Sacrifice
Branwen sits under Alder, the warrior tree, the spirit of her giant brother Bran stands behind her, forever guarding and protecting. I have shown her at the end of her story as the goddess of love and sovereignty. In the distance a fire burns at the stones of Bedd Branwen (Branwen’s Grave, found on the isle of Anglesey), white ravens call their lament as starlings flit around her, singing of the suffering of innocents, battles fought and the courage of fallen heroes. As she leans against the shield of the tribes she offers her heart and her life, in honour of the warriors and defenders who died to protect their children, mothers, elders and their land.
I struggled with the story of this goddess who suffered so much harm and malice, who experienced the death of a child by the hand of a violent man. But now I have come to an understanding about love, to feel absolute and unconditional love, you need to empathise completely with others. To be a sovereign goddess, a goddess who nourishes her land and it’s people she must not only know of love but also sacrifice… and that sometimes they are one in the same.
This piece was finished as Russia invaded Ukraine February 2022 and is dedicated to the resistance fighters of Ukraine, my heart and the heart of the goddess is with you. #standwithukraine #branwen #celticgoddess #pagan #paganart #nomeart

Macha – Sovereign, battle queen! She demands we fight against injustice, to defend ourselves against adversity, with integrity and noble courage. She calls for determination, grit to stand firm by our convictions. She is sovereign, Queen of the tribes and I call on the magick of Macha to stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine! #macha #themorrigan #warinukraine #paganism #paganart #sacredart #nomeart
