~oh hey~

 oh hey!

its me again

are you still out there?

Well I am back, complete with my sometimes lack of upper case letters and rambling thoughts. 

I have spent an intense two years and an especially intense year completing my MA. I submitted my dissertation at the end of September and since then have been in some kind of half-shock, trying to return to some kind of normality and gain some structure to my life that did'nt involve study and deadlines. I promised myself several months of 'nothing'-literally nothing, just deep cleaning the cottage, catching up on sleep and reading and just 'being'. In the back of my mind is the possibility of doing my PhD but right now I am not sure I am brave enough to put myself through the intitial interview process...so that's kind of hanging in the air. However, I have been accepted as a volunteer onto a 9 month conservation project on old documents as part of Hampshire Archives which I hope may lead to bigger and better things.

I spent the weekend with the NorthStar in Glastonbury, catching up with my Tribe-although I didn't spend as much time with my Tribe as I had hoped. I have some ongoing health problems which meant by 1pm on Saturday my power had totally left me so I had to return to the camper and crash out with a cup of tea.

We went to Wells Cathederal to see Gaia

 

But it gave me time to start the all important re-charge of my spiritual batteries. I recently realised that I have spent the last 6 years in a frenzy of non-stop study and this has meant that everything else has fallen by the wayside, and a big part of that was my spiritual path. In six years everything had just drifted and the joyful path I was once on had grown over.

Now it feels as if I have been out, clearing the path, making the way clear. I have been working with The Wild Unknown Tarot for a few weeks, just a daily card to get me back into the swing of spiritual life, asking a question for guideance and its been super helpful. Another day I spent clearing, dusting and changing my altar space. Today, the dark/new moon I shall be putting out the crystals I keep in a pouch around my neck out to charge with fresh intent and start to build on my tarot reading.

I was up in the woods behind my cottage earlier, in need of some forest energy...

 

charged my moss agate...

things are definately looking up and I plan on regular blogging now I have the time and inclination.

Let me know if you are still out there, it would be nice to know if the old blogging community is still strong in the face of 'faceache'
