I learned Tarot through the Rider-Waite many years ago. The Hero’s Journey begins with The Fool – 0 Next comes The Magician – 1 2 & 3 are The High Priestess and The Empress. Back with the liminal boundary. There seems to be a huge leap from fool/innocent/young to an older person with all the… Read More The Psychology of the Magician
I’ve followed Cathy’s quest to recreate this amazing Victorian coat from the beginning. She’s shared every success and every failure and – 2 years later – she is still questing. Two points connect me to this video. I have an original Marshall & Snelgrove box from the 1940’s. There was a woman in town who’d… Read More Cathy Hay : Extraordinary Woman
I come from a lineage of Stoics. Yes. OK. We all complain a lot about little things. But True Stoicism is inbred. Life is HARD. Sometimes life reaches the last quarter inch of the tape measure and there (Seems) to be nothing left. Does anyone remember the days when you’d save every single spare penny/pound… Read More Undefeatable: Seneca’s Stoicism for Inner Peace
We Brits are such experts at weather. We talk about it all the time. We Brits are so Rubbish at coping with slightly mad weather. We WHINGE about it and fall into mass hysteria. OMG. Tesco is shut. Closed down. Flooded and unavailable. Nearest supermarket is the Co-op. Full of very shouty customers and just… Read More Quite Wet Here!
So is believing that dead people are NOT dead. To my mind this is THE BIGGEST way to diss our Creator. Why? Because, of course, we know better….or so the majority think. WHY EMBRACE NIHILISM? It is the exact opposite of life and ancestry and history. Deny life = Deny Family Deny Breath Deny Nature… Read More AllHistoryIsALie Is THE Definition of Nihilism
My thanks go to Static in the Attic for bringing this video back into my attention orbit. We (me & he) were talking about his work-mates this morning and it blew my mind that well over half of them – age ranged from 20’s to 60’s – were coke and/or meth heads. Apparently all and… Read More The Four Stages of Ideological Subversion (1984)
I know 99% of them are porn obsessed. Or money obsessed. Or power obsessed. One hand is needed to count this type of person in MY life. It can be a mother, father, sibling, friend, stranger on the bus, rando person on the interwebs who resonates with your soul. When you find a lover who… Read More When Sigma Empaths Meet Their Twin Flame, THIS Happens!
Musk. I wrote a scene in Weave a Garland that had Wat Montagu wrinkle his nose as he smelled the arrival of Henry Rich (Wat’s most dearly despised) before he saw him. Henry was a fan of MUSK OIL. Did you know? I do. Let’s talk BOLLOCKS :o) Neil Oliver….talks Musk
This is one of my favourite houseplants. Having been sent a handful of Tesco Club Card vouchers the other day, I have managed to buy two days worth of meals without spending much money. Yay. Thank you. So. In my head was this idea… For nearly 40 years we have shared our home with houseplants,… Read More String of Hearts
I have a tapestry in the making (from 20 years ago) that depicts a gorgeous Burne-Jones Angel and the quote in the image above. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. But…no matter what kind things I said or did, I was heckled out of the wazoo. Then banned. So… Read More Stranger Danger vs Stranger Angels
BTW : I am a Highlander. Both my paternal grandfather and grandmother are from Highland Clans. It’s in MY DNA…sent to/researched and the results given by complete strangers to me. We are Natural Empaths. Fact. This destroyed my Dad and is trying to destroy me too. Although, unlike my father, I’ve embraced and not denied… Read More The Chosen Ones
Some stuff needs neither book nor priest. Neither church nor scripture. Neither society nor norms. And definitely NOT people who PREACH DOCTRINE. I’ve known, seen, felt, birthed DEATH. Death and I are intimate friends. One day I’ll be there with them all. Just to Rock the Casbah :o) Jackie, the very annoying poltergoost!
Macbeth belongs in my heart but for the pure, sublime delight of words and how to use them – NOTHING beats Hamlet. There is Something Rotten in the State of Denmark….and it concerns the death of KING Hamlet and the marriage of his wife, Gertrude, to his brother, Claudius. I’ve only just watched Neil Oliver’s… Read More Words. Words. Words.
Infamy, Infamy…they’ve all got it in for me. Sorry. Whenever Julius Caesar comes up, I just see Kenneth Williams being camp in Carry On Cleo :o) There was more of them than us (?) Said we’d never dance again (?)
From the age of 13 or so I’ve been very interested in Joan of Arc. I’ve studied her story all these many years. Why? Because I too was given a message at that time. This message has been posted here before. Around 2019. And – bloody hell – the backlash was BRUTAL. Back in 2008/9,… Read More The Messenger : That’s All I Am.
No matter what we choose to believe, this shift of our world has been spoken about for a very long. The “modern” title is The Great Awakening. A time foretold when we become much more mindful of others and nature and harmony and unity. Ergo : If we little people know about this, then, so… Read More New Earth & The Age of Aquarius
Such gorgeous memories, and not only mine. I’ve had this on max vol and my sons … wow! They were taken back to exactly the same time. Summer. A secret Army location in Hampshire. Longmoor Camp. Me sitting on the floor with the French doors to the back garden wide open, listening to my 6… Read More Lesson Learned : In The Right Place Now
Who is/was History’s Greatest Empath? I don’t need a Bible to tell me. Nor a Church. HE was crucified. OK. Not worth fighting for? Well that was stated in a soi-disant “truther” video a few years back. He was talking about Star Trek and that woman who is an empath. Dunno her name. Don’t watch… Read More History’s GREATEST Empath vs An Empath Is NOT WORTH Fighting For
This is the very first song video that I shared on my blog here…no, there in the menu above…. in 2018/19 I remembered it from an advert on TV during my time in Ulster. My eldest was not even 2 and I was pregnant with my second son. Peter and Kate allowed this to be… Read More Don’t Give Up
The price was right! So I had to go Rustoleum. Never used it before but it had a colour called Melrose which leads me on to my BFF. She has a shop. She is a licensed stockist for Annie Sloane Chalk Paint and has also been trained by Annie. I could abuse our life-long friendship… Read More Painting My World : Phase One
This line has been in my head for days now. Gotta get it out!!!! In my weirdo head, these few words are almost Divine Law. From lover to friend to family to pets – we are NOT owned. If we have any of the above it is through choice. Theirs or ours. Take pets. We… Read More I Don’t Belong to You & You Don’t Belong to Me.
I reached out this morning to heal a disconnect/misunderstanding with someone who has had me banned for 3 years. Hey. End of. Let’s just play football on No Man’s Land? BUT. I’m assuming that I’m also banned from email too. Never mind. At least I can cut these cords now. The chain of shame is… Read More Reach Out & Touch Faith
The images above are MINE. Actual photographs taken when I was 20 years old. Having (stupidly?!) volunteered to climb in Glencoe during our week off from the baddies in Ulster to do mad things in Stirling, Scotland. It was glamping even before “glamping” was coined. The girl with me is Carol. We were in training… Read More Inner Knowing/Know Thyself
K.I.S.S. Keep it simple, stupid. You don’t get more simple than me. Just one girl. On her own. With one follower…..Herself because that’s how WordPress works. OMG. I LOVE this man. He’s like a taller, younger brother. Literally MY twin. Both born on the 24th. Gemini and Sagittarius are exactly opposite on the zodiac. Having… Read More Macro & Micro
I’ve actually sat down and talked for hours with a few Romany women. One of them, on hearing that I’d written a book or few, told me that she was in the process of writing her Romany History. I encouraged her. Himself has spent time with the Romany too. Even though he’ll still call them… Read More The Soul of a Gypsy
HERETIC. What is a Heretic? What is Heresy? I’ve committed HERESY. And been burned for it. MANY TIMES. I join a select historical group including Jacques de Molay, Hus, Jehanne d’Arc, Savonarola, Giordano Bruno, Urbain Grandier. THE CATHARS. HERESY is basically going against whatever is considered “doctrine” “gospel” “truth” at a particular moment in time.… Read More Church MILITANT vs Church TRIUMPHANT
Even my parents-in-law, who are from that generation that OBEYED orders from above, can see what is going on now. They, too, have lost all faith in government and “news” and society as it is now. The Great Awakening has many layers. There were those of us who always questioned authority. Even when I served… Read More The Great Awakening : WHY?
THE Charmer… The Charmer was a 1987 British television serial set in the 1930s, and starring Nigel Havers as Ralph Ernest Gorse, a seducing conman, Rosemary Leach as Joan Plumleigh-Bruce, a smitten victim widow and Bernard Hepton as Donald Stimpson, Plumleigh-Bruce’s would-be beau, who vengefully pursues Gorse after he has conned her. I remember watching the whole series. Very enlightening! I KNOW a SNAKE when… Read More Surrounded by CHARMERS
Mixed messages. At one time I WAS seen as fey or sidhe. That quickly turned in SHEE’S FEY- KE. Fake as a photo of a fairy. We Scots/Celts have an inbuilt respect for the preternatural. Exist or not exist doesn’t come into it. There is always a HIGHER realm.
BFF & I have a cunning plan. We are both escaping real life, nicking a Campervan and finding a mountain and/or loch to live in the shelter off. Sans husbands, sans kids, sans drudge. Her ancestry is wonderful. Welsh, White Jamaican, a teensy bit of Scottish and her Dad was born of a German Baron.… Read More FREEDOM!
Sunset Boulevard is in my top 3 favourite films. Firkin AWESOME. Whenever I listen to Owen talk about his time in un-Holy-Wood, I think of this film. He is the opening scene. Dead in the water being watched from above. I’ve been a fan of Swanson for half of my life. She lived the nightmare/dream.… Read More THE Bear & Sunset Boulevard
I had a task ahead of me yesterday. To cook something that we all love to eat. Hot or Cold. With or Without. Totally eater friendly. Aaaargh. So I frankensteined pizza for us all. I already had two bags of special focaccia bread mix, passata, cheese, chorizo and pepperoni on hand. My cooking motto has… Read More Necessity : The MOTHER of Invention
I’ve always loved this film. It is so profound – even though it was written by a man. I can go through the worst of times. Say some dreadful things. Then I’ll end it all by blowing a raspberry…or smiling. :o) Growing up is giving up. Jackie Greig never went M.I.A.
This video reminds me of The Crucible. An O’Level EngLit book from way back. Arthur Miller. Once husband of Marilyn Munroe. WHICH WITCH IS WHICH? LOL. Words coming back to haunt someone? As the daughter of a Scottish Presbyterian and an English Methodist – I need neither a church nor a priest nor a bell… Read More Your OWN…PERSONAL…Jesus
My Girl Monday came to see me this morning. She wants to learn how to crochet. So we had her first crochet lesson. This girl is feisty and confident and totally open. But when she first learned that she had breast cancer, she (almost) gave up. Weeks into her treatment, she’s now back. As sassy… Read More Three Little Words
For me this is a little too little a little too late. For others it is perfect. I’ve no issues with Neil Oliver. Apart from on the historical timeline but that’s NOT his bad. Neil Oliver – ‘…digital enslavement is coming…’ It’s been here for years, sweetheart. Digital Enslavement. In my humble opinion, so much… Read More The Smiling Rant
Zombies thrive and live on the living because they are DEAD inside. There is one woman that I can always go back to. My personal hero. I have lived in Ulster twice. Once as a serving soldier. Once as a “wife of” a serving soldier. About 3 years ago when the hatred began against me… Read More ZOMBIES
I’ve spent too long doing this stuff. Just to have it all ripped apart by the “We Always Win” crew. Nah. Not any more, mes braves. Go back. Go way, way back to my posts from 2018/2019 when I tear the Romans apart. Especially Julius Caesar and all that crap. HIS – story is real.… Read More The Spear of Destiny vs The Spear of Longinus
It’s been my lot in life (maybe my destiny?) to always choose the road less travelled. So many years in Hidden History and New Chronology and now Clothing/Fashion History. All these subjects are NEW. I have very few peers. So very little support or feedback or people to turn to when I’m stuck and despairing.… Read More The Road Less Travelled…
Throughout my life it has been said that somewhere in the deep dark past, my mother’s family had Spanish blood. Hence the dark eyes and dark hair that we both share. I was stunned when my DNA didn’t bring up a single sniff of a Spanish gene. So I dismissed this as family mis-information. But…..… Read More The Strangest of Strange Spanish Connections
A man on my vibe. Synchronicity and Serendipity. Loving it :o)
I’ve done my best to promote Phil Rickman’s Merrily books. They are long and convoluted and revolve around a mother who is an Anglican Vicar and a daughter who is Pagan and their lives together in a village called Ledwardine. Sounds boring? Nah. Rickman is one of the best “character” writers I’ve ever come across.… Read More Secrets of Pain vs Richard Dawkins

I am first and foremost a writer. I’ve studied both the art and the craft of writing for decades but everything I’ve read and/or written boils down to one single Universal Truth. THE HERO’S JOURNEY. This is the meaning of life. To live that journey. Joseph Campbell was a great mentor via his books. Robert… Read More Writing The Hero’s Journey
That’s how it started for me. Narc + Narc ua-vs Little ME. Then it GREW. Hundreds of Narcs vs Little ME. There is too much darkness in this world but one small light will always shine. FACT!
