- For Mabon: The Spoils of Annwn
The Power of Bardic Poetry
In the early 1990’s I taught a workshop called Into the West: A Course in Celtic Shamanism, that included ritual work centered around an ancient poem by the great Welsh bard, Taliesin called The Spoils of Annwn. It is probably one of the most powerful initiatory poems ever created. If you [...]
- What are the Magical Signs of Autumn?
Celtic Trees of the Equinoxes
Ogham
Those of you who have been following this blog have probably noticed that I am a great lover of trees and would naturally be drawn to the poetry of Celtic Ogham, the Sacred Tree Oracle of Ireland.

This is too spooky!
As you know I did a little rant in my last post about the Astrological and Numerological energies influencing the planet at this very moment. The next day, I found this video by Tania Gabrielle. She’s really good, and has many more videos on Youtube.

He is such an important figure because, in a time when people believed in the reality of faeries and spirits, he recorded his experiences on the edge of [...] - What is in a Name?
What is in a Name?
