THE SEA WITCHES BOOK OF SHADOWS
CHAPTER TWO THE PATH OF THE WATER WITCH Water Witches are sometimes called Sea Witches or water hags, but many of them find a calling with inland creeks, rivers, and lakes. It is rare for them to limit themselves to any one type of body of water. They generally align with all forms, including rain and falling snow.

THE SEA WITCHES BOOK OF SHADOWS
INTRODUCTION Most people have an idea of what ocean witches and sea witchcraft are and it seems as if, like the village witch, the sea witch has been recognized as a solitary powerful path by the general community and wider world at large. But of course sea witchcraft is not limited to solitary practitioners, I live in a seaside town in the southwest and I know of two different sea witch and water covens in this area and a few more around the globe, but it seems that sea witches are inclined to carve their own path, similar to the way a river might carve its own path through stones. Water witches, like the Sea Witch, are drawn to the water. Water witches are drawn not only to the ocean, but they feel and answer the call of river water, lake water, canals, the spring and winter rains, even the morning dew. Like the sea, these bodies of water are seductresses, the passion of knowledge, and lust of life are all held within the deep particles of water. They pull at our heart strings and torture our spirits; pining and raging like an ocean caught storm. It’s the seduction of the mysterious water, the known and the unknown, the pull of the mermaids, the pirates, and the creatures of the deep.

Coronavirus lockdown guide
This morning 24th March 2020, Britain has woken up on an almost lockdown state, people ordered to not to leave their homes unless it’s absolutely necessary and has finally given police powers to break up gatherings in beaches, parks and in towns. The frightening part is the unknown, no one has ever gone through this before and people are scared, not so much of the virus itself, but of the unknown road that comes with it. This is a road that hasn’t been taken before, there’s no mile’s stones or signs posts telling anyone which way to go. It’s going to take a wee bit of time to Adjust to a new way of life and it is going to be hard, but not only can we adjust to this and survive, we can thrive as well.

How I am healing myself after a sexual attack,
How I am healing myself after a sexual attack, I’m sitting in my little slice of heaven, this little café with its comfortable sofas and light jazz playing in the background, my little slice of heaven where I can sit all day and just write and watch the world move past the windows as people hurried along under their umbrellas. Everyone knows me here, they know how I like my coffee, they even know that I always have a coke and ice and will usually be sat in the same place, in the corner by the large bay windows. Here I feel safe, I’m not watched, no one whispering who’s that lady by the window I’m just accepted. My safe place, but I never always felt safe, there was a time when I couldn’t sit anywhere on my own, enjoying the chilled music over a coffee, there was a time when the very idea filled me with overwhelming fear however, here I am, sitting writing about my most inner thoughts, digging into the deep corners of my mind, but I’m so safe in this place that the words are flowing like rain drops today.

Everyone Has Some Sort of Eating Disorder and Body Dysmorphia Part One
Everyone has some sort of eating disorder and body dysmorphia, it’s just the situation of the world today. Since the 80s, I truly believe this has gotten worse with social media; it's everywhere you look, nowhere is safe anymore. Back in the 80s, I watched my mum as she battled with her idea of what a perfect body should look like. I watched as my nan battle and slowly die from her eating disorder. Each woman battling a different side: a different kind of mindset. With my mum, she always thought of herself as overweight, and standing at 4'9'' she was maybe a little curvier than most people back in the 80s, but I used to think she was perfect. Shapely legs, beautiful hips which she used to carry me on, amazing arms to which she would give the most amazing hugs with. To me, she was perfect, and as a child, I never understood why she didn’t love her body. I loved her, shouldn’t she love herself too? Although she never become underweight and I never believed she was overweight, it was where her mindset was at that time. The woman loved her food and she could eat, but she would torture herself with self-loathing and hide her body under baggy clothing.

Giving Back to Me
Starting to live my best life Happy 40th year to me; it’s been a long and twisting road, but I've made it: the view of life in my 40s is different than the view I had in my 30s and 20s, my body has changed, and so has my outlook on who I thought I should be.
