Chasing the Shadow – A Tale of the Fox and the Rabbit

The Underworld, perhaps the pinnacle of all Dark spaces, has peculiar methods of communication. This recent journey of Soul it instigated within me, which has been littered with synchronicity and crystal clear moments of understanding, began, largely, as a result of a cup of coffee… well, two to be exact.

Pagan Poetry - Woodland Maiden

“In the Spring Kissed Woodland Dances bare a Maid Young and pure and lovely Strong and unafraid She speaks of Birth and Promise Of all the things that grow Of all the steps you’ve yet to take Of all you’ve yet to know. So take her hand and breathe And dance upon the Earth For the promise of Hope and Joy Life begins with Birth.” – Joanne Morris All my own work and design all rights reserved #wood #woodland #maiden #goddess #hope #breath #birth #po #poet #poetry #poe

Pagan Poetry - The Underbush

Image – Jenny of Omnia The gentle breath Of a Moth’s wing Winds of change In everything The world quiets There is no rush The thorns and posies In underbush The gateway opens The fae elope The trees sing songs Of the mountain slope The wolf eyed girl Howls at Dark Moon The river bends The journey, soon.

Calling the four quarters of Trees, the Sacred Grove

I call to thee Spirits of the Northern realm Where the deep roots dwell Tendrils of Magick yearning Fathomless and ancient That hallowed crucible From which life springs And the everlasting Pine Grows Strong To You I harken well And beckon thee To allow me to stay steadfast ‘Neath your branches. I call to thee Spirits of the Eastern realm Where Cherry blossoms play upon the wind Wrapping branches to the strings Of a fine tuned Shamisen That ethereal dance Ec

Pagan Poetry - Shaking Wolf Soul

They’ve tried to break me Since I was a child Told me to behave Be quiet and mild The truth is I’m broken And proud to be so For light pours through the lines We’re daring to show I readjust when I stumble I cry and I scream But I won’t let you tell me That I can’t have my dream So the world can keep All of it’s fakes I’ll run to my wildness Even when my soul shakes So come with me, jump with me Into the gulf Together we’ll run with The souls of the wolf.

Musing about the energies of Spring – Witchcraft Essay

Photography – Kimbeerphotography ★Themes and Musings★ So I wanted to present prompt images for Spring Equinox and found myself at an impasse. The usual flowers, eggs and cutesy kitsch seemed to mismatch the energy of this year, and it took me a moment to really find something that resonated, and then to consider why that was so. The image above, the deer skull within the flowers, seemed to be symbolic of the balance that occurs in the Equinox, life within death and death with

Pagan Poetry - Survival of a Crow hearted girl

Survival of a Crow Hearted Girl Clawing at my back down to the bone to try and find my soot stained wings Blood in the welts Of where they lashed Badges of honour from a battle long fought Tearing my skin To draw out my chain Remembering that I could fly once Screams in the night Memories resurrect Hearing the call to run until I ache Until my feet crack Until my knees fail Until the ground swallows me whole – Joey Morris 2016 All my own work and design all rights r

Shadow Ogham Silver Birch – Sensing the Shadow

Sensing the Shadow Silver Birch The Silver Birch Priestess speaks to us, telling us that “I am the First word, the breath of life, the beginning. The door to every journey, inward, outward, and onward. I see your limitless potential, so reach out, and trust the process.” – Joey Morris With the mapping of unchartered territory there is always great risk, especially when it comes to the discussion of spiritual and magical matters. The concept of the Shadow Ogham is not somethi

Pagan Poetry - Freeing the Witch

Art by Natalia Drepina Freeing the Witch There’s something safer in the dreams Where reality is not what it seems Where the walls break and fly and the madness isn’t shy The part of me that remembers how to speak In a heart murmur which is not weak And the chains on me fall soundless to the ground And I howl The makeup smears across our faces We resign all our given places Why did you tell me who to be As though you feared if I was free And the words lay heavy on

Pagan Poetry - True Wolf Soul

Say you’re a wolf You’ve got to be joking First sign of blood You know you’d be choking There’s something deeper Than what’s in a name It’s about being broken And never the same It’s given by Mother A medal she pins For living through trials Where nobody wins Say you’re a wolf But you don’t howl at the sky Or run through the forest Without knowing why It’s about baring your teeth And baring your heart Hearing the Wild Right from the start So don’t cry wolf

Shadow Ogham

“This forest is old. Very old. Full of memories…and anger. The trees are speaking to each other.” – Legolas The Two Towers Working witchcraft with the magick of trees is, simply put, one of the most rewarding forms of magickal interaction that there is. Trees are ancient, wise, and the natural guardians of this world; they traverse realms, deeply rooted under the Earth and stretching far out into the air. They truly speak in a language all of their own; something which final

Why Witches are Real Freaks

For the entire month of December via the Starry Eyed Facebook there has been one important message on repeat: Rock your Weird. We are living in times of uniformity and conformity where the urge to “fit in” becomes an overwhelming and oppressive weight on our shoulders, whereby 2016 has stolen many of our misfit role models; Bowie told us to “Turn and face the Strange,” Prince that; “…no one can dictate who you are,” and the infamous Zsa Zsa Gabor that; “I tell you, in this w

Pagan Poetry - Lessons of Badb

Original art by Daniel Vazquez Badb I see you stalking through my dreams With Birch wizened teeth And howling Chords I see the twisted visage Wracked with pain and expectation I feel my bones crack and snap A bleeding heart “Chaos is my gift,” she croaks I know that the cocoon is splitting Tearing me apart Blood in my lungs with every breath Bruised knees crawl Dirt soaked and shivering Truth unyielding Breaking Into something new and old I have never lied do

Frailty, thy name is... Witch!

There has been something in the atmosphere lately that seems to lead many spiritual folks to wish to separate themselves from, and loudly express disdain for, their human condition. Reading the wonderful essay by Nephilim Rising Stand Strong, Witch it felt as though perhaps it was time to express how misguided I feel this current trend to be, especially when it comes to the path of the Witch. We spend so much time trying to define ourselves as Mystics, Witches, Spiritual bein

Pagan Poetry - The Shapeshifter

(Original image – Witching hour by DmajicPhotography.) I place my bare feet Upon this Earth And feel the call Of all that was My aching soul It longs to run To be free with The Wild Ones My beating heart Sings out loud The trees they know It’s all around The Crows are singing Back at me Little daughter You’re not asleep I see through wolf eyes I weave my fate Tears sow the ground From my mistakes But warriors They are simply made That iron dancer Is not
