Why Magpie?
Head tilted to one side with eye focused sharp, the bird stops its ungainly hopping, and looks at me. Its long tail feathers bob up and down a couple of times, causing the light to play across the edges of its iridescent wings. And, for a second or two, we have a connection – an accord, perhaps. I stay really still, held by the moment and by the inhuman gaze of this bird. In my mind, I ask the question… Why you? Why magpie? For the last couple of months, I’ve been finding magpie feathers. Most of them right wing feathers. It got to the point that when I…

The Full Vision – Spoken & Written
Over the last week, I have been sharing the vision that came through to my during a sacred cacao ceremony, as part of my Practical Magic Business Circle preparations. I was aware before of the 6 goddesses that were stepping forward to support and guide the next round, but in this vision, I was informed of what gift each intended to bring to the circle. It was an incredibly rich experience, and I’ve taken the time to share it in 8 instalments, introducing the goddesses one by one. But today, I’d like to bring it altogether for you, so that you too can experience the fullness of the vision…. as…

Sacred Chocolate Vision For the PMBC – Part 8
So, we’ve met the six goddesses that have all stepped forward to help hold and guide the next round of the Practical Magic Business Circle – Hecate, Sheila-Na-Gig, Shakti , Gaia, Amaterasu and Sekhmet. A phenomenally powerful gathering, I cannot even tell you how in awe I am of the energies that are at play already. And the circle has not even opened yet! But, the story of the visualisation has not quite finished yet. Here’s what happened next… I sit for a moment or two, my hood still over my head, my feather still held lightly in my hands, and ask myself the question, “Am I ready? Am I ready to hold this circle? Am…

Sacred Chocolate Vision For the PMBC – Part 7
Here we are! After sharing the other five goddesses of the Practical Magic Business Circle as they each appeared in my sacred cacao visualisation – Hecate, Sheila-Na-Gig, Shakti , Gaia and Amaterasu – we find ourselves ready to meet the sixth and final goddess… The sixth hooded figure picks up a long stick, as she stands and walks around the seated circle. She draws a perfect circle in the packed dirt around us, not saying one word, until she arrives back to her starting place. The circle now complete, she takes her seat once more, and then removes her hood. Her hair, her eyes, her skin are all bright gold. She is fiercely…

Sacred Chocolate Vision For the PMBC – Part 6
Our fifth goddess steps forward in this, the next instalment of my sacred cacao visualisation. And while she is the fifth shared here, she was actually the first to make her presence known to me when I knew I was going to open up the Practical Magic Business Circle for another round… Amaterasu is next. The Japanese sun goddess lowers her hood, and we all instantly feel the sunlight mingling with the moonlight, as her rays dance with the moonbeams across our skin. Her straight black hair falls heavy down her back, and her flawless skin seems lit from within. It’s like light infuses her whole being. She is light.…
