A little bit about me and what I do. 😀🌹

I have been seeing Spirit since I was a child and I have been reading the Tarot for 30 years. I am also a Reiki Master healer and practitioner of other healing modalities.

I have an Etsy shop where I sell my offerings most of which I try to keep at reasonable cost. I offer readings, rituals and distance healing.

Healing is possible wherever you live in the world. Distance makes no difference because whether you’re receiving a hands-on treatment or remote both work equally well.

In my practice I create what is known as a Chi Ball, which is a spiritual ball of energy and I then place the healing energy and symbols into the chi ball which I then send out to you to receive when you are sleeping, this is the best time to receive it because your body and mind are relaxed.

If you feel you would like to try a reading, ritual or distance healing then please do step inside my little corner of Etsy and I will work with you for your needs. Reopening Imbolc 2024❤️❤️❤️

The “Hooded ones” have been seen in various places by many people for centuries. They are a little bit different from shadow people in that they are wearing a trenchcoat or trilby hat. With Samhain (Halloween) coming up I thought I would share this. These “Hooded Ones” don’t have any gender or appear to have any gender and often seen as described in a hooded cloak, somewhat like a monk. What are these entities are they spirits of monks? Pagan deities? Are they elementals or perhaps something supernatural? Perhaps they are even a land wight or spirit. the hooded cloak is known as a “Cucullus” and due to this are known as “Genius Cucullus”. Numerous stone and clay statues and stone carvings of these have been found in both continental Europe and Britain. The length of a hooded cloak can vary, more often than not. It tends to be covering the whole body. In folklore they would tend to appear either singular or in a number of three. It is thought, but if they appear as three, it may be a link to the mother goddess and a Celtic Link as well due to the triple aspect. Some of these have been found in the north near Hadrian’s wall and in the south near Gloucestershire are those found in Europe tend to be singular figures. The mystery of the “Hooded Ones” Remains unexplained, and these unusual cloak in individual simply refuse to give up their ancient secrets. No one can tell what these perplexing beings were, but if they actually existed. I have had experiences in seeing these “Hooded Ones” but only as a single one and not coming as three. on one occasion when I saw one a week later, an elderly client are used to look after passed away. So they may be something to do with this, kind of like a spirit warning of a loved one passing, or someone you have a relationship with and got to know quite well passing.

Whatever they are they are a fascinating and folkloric cultural legacy. These hooded ones seemed to have left an impression in the British and European countryside. Back in the early nineties, a family were driving along a road in Worcestershire, England. As they drove through a dark tunnel of ancient trees, they saw something strange ahead of them. A few feet off the ground were three hooded figures and as who moss they were seen; they vanished into thin air. The experience was reported to a local paranormal group.

Are we dealing with spirits here? A folk memory perhaps or land spirits? Whatever they are they are a mystery and likely something very ancient

Samhain is approaching and the veil is thinning. It’s the time to connect with the ancestors and collective dead. It’s the time to practise scrying or divination.

For your altar, decorate with natural things from your areas to honour the local land spirits and dead. Fallen leaves, acorns etc. carve or decorate a pumpkin for your altar or windowsill. Gather some local grave yard dirt for your altar if permission is given by the graveyard grim.

Practice divination with any tool you are drawn to. Traditionally it’s a time of scrying and all you need is a dark colour bowl filled with water and a darkened room lit only by candlelight (ensuring candles are not near anything flammable and secure in holders). The water you gaze into should be reflected by candlelight, soften your gaze as you look into your scrying bowl, it does take time and practice but stick with it and keep a note book close by for journaling.

You can also practice your tarot technique as well. Do a reading for yourself or even for the energy of the season. Maybe gather some friends together and do a group reading too.

Honour your ancestors by placing photos of passed loved ones on an altar for the ancestors. You could also add graveyard dirt,found animal bones, herbs associated with the dead etc and can be as simple or as fancy as you like. You can even offer the ancestors an offering. I often do one of incense, candle light and blessed water. I often do this around the dark moon and say the following to them during my offerings

On my ancestor altar (above) I have my late husband, my father and grandparents, aunts and uncles and even a passed beloved pet cat!

I give my offerings and say my words which I share with you here.

“Ancestors, I call to you now to be here with me now and always. Accept these offerings with the love they are given. I offer you Earth the grounding element to secure, I offer you water, the spiritual pure element. I offer you incense the air element for communication. I offer you a candle, the fire element for light and warmth. Ancestors accept these simple offerings in love and remembrance. Beloved Ancestors feed on this earth, smoke, water and light to nourish and strengthen you. Blessed be”

You can tailor the words to suit you and your ancestors and doing this on Samhain and every dark moon helps to strengthen the bond.

Welcome to October which is officially spooky season. I thought I would do a reading for the energies of the month. The cards drawn are the seven of Wands and the Moon.

The seven of Wands is the minor Arcana of the suit of Wands, it’s pertains to be element of fire, creativity, passion and action. This card is saying that things might be seemingly at a dead end at this moment in time, or approaching a dead end at this moment in time. However, this is not about giving up, that dead end may be in place for a reason, and that may be, because this is not the time to pursue at goal, or to carry out that action, and so the dead end is in place for a reason. There is hope ahead and the barrier can be breached, all in good time and with patience and diligence. The goal that you are hoping for is there it just may take longer for you to reach when you had hoped.

The moon is a major arcana card dealing with the bigger issues. this card is about looking for those things which are hidden, this may be that you are not looking at them in the right light, and to reveal that which is hidden needs to be observed in a different aspect and light, like the seven of wands, the moon may also be hinting that you look at things from a different angle and perspective to gain insight and answers, and ultimately to reach your goals

Wishing you all a blessed October and Samhain

The autumn equinox is a time when we look at what we have harvested and take stock of it to see if it will see us through the winter. The autumn equinox is the time of balance. It is a time when we need to reflect on the summer and prepare for the darker days to come.

In folklore, the autumn equinox is the time of the hunter. The antlers of God takes his place at the turn of the wheel as it is the time of the hunt. He calls us into the woods in the forest for winter, and he can tell us that we need not fear the darkest recesses of the woods because he will always return to us when we need him. This is a timer for Herne, the Hunter, a favourite of the king, and through rivalry, was forced to commit suicide, and then came back as a stack to guard the forests.

You may wish to decorate your alters with fallen leaves, chestnuts, acorns, and fruit. A simple celebration of this time of year is walking in the woods or your nature park and just taking in the changes around you. You can do wishing spells by writing your wishes on falling leaves, and then either casting them to the wind or into a river downstream or simply burning them.

Wishing everybody the blessings of the autumn equinox xxx

Graveyard dirt available on my Etsy store. Collected from a 12th century graveyard, permission was asked and offerings were given in return.

When collecting dirt from a graveyard always try to take from a general area rather than a particular grave. I always take from mole hills as this does not involve digging into the ground. I always ask permission of the spirits and leave an offering after, usually of bird feed #witchy

Witch Protection bottle, a must for any working witch

[gilly-tamar-w1tch]

Client spell work in action

[gilly-tamar-w1tch]

I created a couple of protective guardians for my home. They are a witch bottle of sorts honouring the bones of these wildlings I found In nature. As a reader and spell weaver, it is imperative to protect myself in my work.

The animal bones are a link to nature and also between the living and the dead. These two wildings, a crow and a rabbit represent the realm of the dead and the realms of the nature spirits. They sit by my working table to keep me safe. They also act kinda like watch towers too in my work.

Love working for a client with those daemons who bring in love, and yes there are those which do, to work today on bringing love to our world and also to reunite those lovers regardless of their sex, race or creed, who have separated back together again as long as they choose to do so.

Daemon's are seen as really evil, and I blame the church and movies for much of that. Daemon's belong in the realm of the dark, demoted there from their position as ancient gods and goddesses once revered. They are not evil, they are adapted to the dark, they can help you when you are in the dark place because they see what we cannot in our journeys of darkness.

I also work with them during the winter months too because I find their energy is more powerful with me at this time. I offer whiskey to them for their work today and also incense.

Are daemons dangerous? No more than driving a car, it's about preparation, ensuring you are in the right mind, in the right lane, checking it's safe to overtake or turn out of a junction, it's concentration, being alert and safe which we all do when driving. It's about respect and asking enough for what is needed.
