Today is the summer solstice, and I shall celebrate. The past few years I’ve left Christianity behind. Perhaps one day I will go back. But the old ancient ways call to my soul, and make me feel whole. And for now, that is what makes me happy. For now, they are what I need to… Continue reading Solstice Celebrations

Faith
This time of year, I’m thinking about religion, and faith. I’ve struggled with it for years. But I think I’ve finally found an answer. When I started losing my sight, I lost my faith. I used to be Christian, and sung in a church choir for years. When my sight started fading, I looked to… Continue reading Faith
Orkney
Me and my mum are heading to Scotland again. Its somewhere we both love to be, even if it means a nine hour train to get there. It has stunning scenery and lovely people, and has that magical quality only possible beaten by Amsterdam, but only just. Plus there’s no flying, which my mum isn’t… Continue reading Orkney
A New Novella?
I’m considering starting to write another novella. Have I finished the second draft of my current one? Nope. But I got inspired by the flash fiction festival. There was this Prose Poetry session, about putting mythological creatures in odd locations, around a life experience and it sparked something. I wrote one piece about the visual… Continue reading A New Novella?
The Stonehenge Adventure
Last Friday, I went to Stonehenge. Its something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I love mythology, and always thought the stones seemed magical and mystical. I knew I was going to be nearby in Bristol for the Flash Fiction Festival, so I booked a ticket a few months back. And I was… Continue reading The Stonehenge Adventure
Bingeing Ragnarok
I don’t often binge watch series. Its something I struggle with. I struggle to keep concentration, especially with long series and long episodes. And then I forget, and come back to it, but I can’t remember what happened. One series I did binge watch recently was Ragnarok. It was on Netflix, a Norwegian show about… Continue reading Bingeing Ragnarok
A New Approach
I’m not very good with decorators. I could write for hours about the sensory overload they cause me with extra sounds and smells. But this time has been different, and better, because I’ve recently come across a new approach, which I will try today. I love Norse music. And Norse mythology. I found a playlist… Continue reading A New Approach
Meditating with Odin
I’ve tried lots of meditation apps and playlists. I love ambient music, and there’s a couple Marvel themed ones I like listening to when I’m working. This week, I was looking for something a little stronger, to power me through an interview. I knew there were Norse ambient playlists about. There’s this artist called Danheim… Continue reading Meditating with Odin
A Tale Dark and Grimm
When I was away at Chichester, I found a new series I already love, on Netflix. Its called A Tale Dark and Grimm, and its fantastic. Its based on the Grimm Brothers stories. But it actually tells them as they are, no fluff, just blood and guts and gore, with the original scary stuff included.… Continue reading A Tale Dark and Grimm
All Things Norse
I love mythology. There’s just something about it, which captivates me, mesmerises me, enthralls and enchants me. My favourite though, is definitely Norse. And with the next instalment of the Thor movies coming out soon, I’m excited, and its time to talk about my love for these spellbinding myths. Norse mythology was there for me,… Continue reading All Things Norse
