Yuletide 2006

The last few months have been taken up with writing my autobiography; the book will be called ‘Fire Child’ and published by Mandrake of Oxford. Their website address is  www.mandrake.uk.net. The publishers are keeping an update on this website regarding it progress etc.  They are hoping for it to be ready by Halloween 2007. I am hoping it will answer some of the questions regarding Initiation of both Alex and I and that it will clear up so many of the stories that are not true and maybe confirm those that are. After the Yuletide festivities, Mogg, the publisher, will no doubt be sending the chapters for editing; this is an absolutely awful job but sometimes creatively provocative.

2006 has been a good year; the meeting of the American witches was pure delight and I am looking forward to my next trip to Atlanta in June (2007) and a little later to Connecticut. So far, there has been no negative nastiness regarding the American gathering; maybe those who sent all the warnings last year are applying themselves to their own evolution, spiritual or otherwise.

I shall be speaking at Glastonbury Town Hall on Sunday April 29th , 2007.

The Alderley Edge group completed its year of celebrating the Craft festivals there earlier in the year. I have been working by the ‘Moon Pool’ when the skies have been clear. The pool is situated between two mountain lakes and when the moon is full her light is brighter than day. The trees seem to glisten silver on one side of the pool and are blacker than coal on the other. Her reflection is threefold; in the lakes and the ‘Moon Pool’. I come away from the work refreshed, elated, and usually very cold.

May the Yule log burn brightly.
