Enchanted by Morgan le Fay

I have long held a fascination with Morgan le Fay, the half-sister to Britain's "once and future king" (Arthur), whose brief tryst with Lancelot of the Lake saw her turn her back on her inheritance, her calling and seemingly spend her life wandering without any true meaning or purpose.  Yet, despite all that, there is something alluring about her.

The Morgan le Fay we often hear about today, the evil sorceress who appears largely as the bane of King Arthur's existence, stems from the Le Morte d’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory. Hailed as the greatest piece of English literature to have emerged from the Medieval era, Malory's version consisted of 21 books, commencing at the ill-fated meeting between Uther Pendragon, the King of Britain, and Gorlois, the Duke of Tintagel, where the king become infatuated with Gorlois's beautiful wife, Igraine, and ending with the death of King Arthur from a wound inflicted upon him by his own son.

Weathering the Storm - A Free Guide for People Feeling Isolated and Vulnerable

As COVID-19 saw the majority of the world self-isolating, a group of Moon Book authors (including myself) consolidated their talents.  The result is Weathering the Storm, a book offering support for spiritually orientated people who is feeling isolated and vulnerable during these extremely stress and rather unprecedented times.

Covering areas from loneliness and anxiety, self-care and gardening, to cooking and crystals, Weathering the Storm is divided into three parts.  The first part offers a selection of psychological assistance.  This is within this section that my essay, "Bobbing in the Sea of Uncertainty", can be found.  Recounting a life changing experience that I underwent during a week's "spiritual retreat" in Bali, the lessons gifted to me I share for others to draw upon should they feel that they are losing control on life - sometimes we just need to surrender that control.

The second section of Weathering the Storm focuses on articles that offer spiritual assistance through the use of working with your ancestors, crystals, and much more.  The final section offers practical advice in the form of recipes, crafts and much more.

Described as "A treasure-trove of advice and inspiration for all of us living through difficult times", Weathering the Storm is available as a free ebook through Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble, and for £0.99 on Amazon UK.

Contemporary Witchcraft is inching closer to the finish line

After years of having students complain that there was not a suitable beginner's book for the Southern Hemisphere and that books available today tend to either ignore us living south of the equator, or adding mention like some hurried byline, I have finally finalised the manuscript for my own version of a beginner's book.

Reflecting my own teaching emphasis, Contemporary Witchcraft: Foundational Practices for a Magical Life is designed to be just that, a manual that will provide the neophyte (seeker) with what I hope will be a solid foundation upon which they can shape their own practice.

So what is contemporary witchcraft?
