Hello, merry Yule to you, I hope you are well and in good spirit. I am enjoying a day off from work and just doing what I feel like doing. I have been drawing, reading, making a SoulCollage® card and doing tarot readings. Haha I am glad I don't have to cook this evening as I have ordered a meal to support a local business. Enough doing, after I have typed out this blogpost, I will go out for a long [...]

...Holy Night, or Yule Nights, or Rauhnächte. Preparations for the night when the light is reborn begin on the first day of Advent - four Sundays before the Winter Solstice. Advent means 'arrival' and we expect the arrival of the eternal light that is reborn in the darkest night. The number of Holy nights and the start varies by region. I will start on December 20 with the Winter Solstice. The descent into darkness ends December 24 at the beginning of [...]
In this difficult time I hope that you and your loved ones are doing well. And also that you have been able to find your way in the challenges that this time presents you. 2020 has been a year of profound turmoil and challenges, including a global pandemic, that forced many humans into a new way of life. As difficult as this year was and still is, it came with new learnings and valuables that keep us hopeful that the new [...]
Voor Nederlands graag naar beneden scrollen, dank je wel! Yay the doors have opened to this year’s orders for the year ahead readings! I love love love doing these! I am so grateful that I can offer this service to you. I believe it is so important to have clarity and intention. We need a clear vision in order to move forward, otherwise we are just on automatic pilot, going through the motions. Would you like to know what is opening [...]
If you don't speak Dutch and are interested in SoulCollage® Wheel of the Year celebrations, please let me know so I can organise these if enough people show an interest. Het heeft een tijd geduurd, maar ik heb besloten om SoulCollage® workshops online te gaan faciliteren. Ik merk nu we niet meer in de lijve kunnen samenkomen er nog meer de behoefte is om samen het leven te vieren. Wat is SoulCollage®? SoulCollage® is een simpele en leuke manier om [...]
How are you? As we in the northern hemisphere cross the threshold of autumn into winter, as the ancient Celts referred to it, Samhain (a Gaelic word pronounced "sow-win") or what's now called Halloween - was a time of honoring the dead. Not just ancestors who've crossed over, but the parts of our lives that are readying to die I hope you are well and taking care of yourself. These times are deeply emotional and a lot of people are on [...]
Today, the Day of the Dead, I honor those who have gone before me. My ancestors, those who inspired me and I celebrate their lives and allowing them to live on in my memories. For myself I did two tarot readings today inspired by Threads of Fate. The Seance Spread The Spirit (1): This is a card that represents someone in your life who has passed, someone who wants to speak to or guide you. Freya (VI The Lovers) and I [...]
Yesterday, Samhain, I joined a Pagan group in a Winternachten-Cunura-Walk. Who was Cunera; a legend, saint or Goddess? Just outside the center of Rhenen lies the Cunera hill, said to be the burial mound of a young woman named Cunera, raised for her by the Frisian king Redbad. According to the 14th-century legend only one virgin survived the massacre when Saint Ursula and her eleven thousand virgins were martyred in Cologne, Germany by the Huns during the fourth century. Her name [...]
Hello, How are you? The weather is getting colder and the leaves are coloring and falling from the trees, the Sun is setting and lower on the horizon. Everything turns inwards, which is a natural movement, the sap in trees already makes a start in the month of August. Saying goodbye to the warm season, warmth and joy brings sadness and a sense of loss. There is nothing wrong with that, tears help to dispose of waste. Grief and sadness are [...]
