Lammas has come and gone, and John Barleycorn has been cut down at the knee. The three men from the west have taken him on their cart; he has been threshed and now waits to be transformed into flour, beer, and whisky.  It is always a bittersweet festival for me as it represents the height of Summer, but also the first harvest, and thus the bringer of Autumn.

We went out in the van for a day trip to visit the Crowhurst Yew tree in Surrey. This is potentially a 4000-year-old tree in a churchyard. It is a magnificent being. If only we spoke the language of this tree, what stories it could tell us. Please enjoy the magic of this ancient being and our thoughts on Yews trees as magical allies.

There is nothing quite like sitting beside a Pagan campfire, under the stars and held within the peace of the trees, listening to the sounds of community, the voices singing Wiccan chants, and enjoying the mead, wine, and pretty much anything else that is being passed around the circle. Being beside that campfire with some friends you haven't seen for 8 years turns up that feeling of coming home, that feeling of joy and love.

I mean, the fact that you’re reading this suggests you do, but I’m wondering how many people still like Pagan blog posts? It feels like the blog has given way to the vlog and people connect far more through video on social media and YouTube, but I still love reading the thoughts and feelings of my fellow Pagans through the written (typed) word.

Hello, my friends! The April concert at Glastonbury Assembly rooms was a wonderful night and now I'm looking towards my Autumn show there. Tickets always sell out, and people who didn't know they were going on sale missed out. So I've decided to create the ticket page in advance for my October 17th show, and it will go live at 8 pm on the 11th May. Here is the ticket link:

It's the culmination of 10 years of creativity. A Journey I dreamed of decades ago, and finally, the last of the Y Mabinogi albums, each one telling one of the Four Branches of the Mabinogi, is nearly released (out on the 24th April). I have always loved these Welsh myths, but I couldn't help but feel that they were always meant to be heard, not read, and after I wrote the song…

Hello, my friends! I'd like to let you know about some changes in how my music will be available to you. About half of my CD sales are sent to you lovely people in the USA, but sadly, with Trump's fluid approach to trade and tarrifs (I'm trying to be kind in my wording here...) it became very obvious to me that I could no longer trust that I'd be able to send any of the approaching 4th Branch albums to the USA with any confidence that they would reach their destination.
