The past couple of days have been, to put it lightly, some of the worst I've ever experienced. I'm not currently in my home and for reasons I don't want to delve into at the moment, I don't feel safe to ever live there again. But I'm not a woman who cowers and I will… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #39 – I’m Not A Woman Who Cowers
Another day when time has been EATEN UP. But it's been eaten up by important things like watching lambs, editing poetry and gathering photos together for not one but TWO photography publications I'll be putting out this year. However I do have a photo to share from yesterday's shoot with my buddy Ian from Smoggywood… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #37 – Swordstress
Not much for you today folks, I'm afraid. I was out for most of the afternoon being photographed in the forest waving around a sword and trying not to trip over my billowing robes (aka a black, roughed up sheet hoiked up around my waist with a hair tie) and am well and truly knackered.… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #36 – There’s A Witch In The Forest
I let myself do something I haven't done in a LONG time tonight; I went on Pinterest and wandered for a while, collecting darkly inspired art as I went. Before doing so, I thought about the considerable length of time that's gone by since I engraved this blog with dark art from other creatives. Sharing… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #32 – A Gathering Of Dark Art
I was supposed to be writing to you with the second half of my post I'm Happy. What's Changed? But I've just spent two and a bit hours finishing up an interview with a literary legend and I'm tired, So it'll have to wait until tomorrow. Instead I'm going to share with you some images… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #21 – Nordic Cult Folk (Sindri)
The Anglo-Saxons called March 'Hlyd Monarth', which means 'loud' or 'stormy month.' And I can confirm that March, 1,600 years later, continues to be stormy. The rain didn't stop all day, and the clouds were some of the most ominous I've ever seen, but I had this unusual lightness about myself. I'm looking forward to… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #16 – Hlyd Monath
I don't think I've talked much about my Nordic Cult Folk project. (I mentioned it in my 100 Good Things From 2022, but I think that's about it.) It started as a project to photograph folk in Norway wearing bunad/lusekofte and corpse paint. The project has expanded since my initial idea (which I had a few… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #14 – Nordic Cult Folk (Solveig)
The last time I was up at such a cruel hour was when I waited overnight at Manchester Airport for a flight to Iceland. It was the same as before that…and the time before that. (Hell, EasyJet, PLEASE CHANGE YOUR GODDAMN FLIGHT TIMES. I can't while away another night in the bleakest airport ever built.)… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #13 – I Was Up At 5.30Am To Shoot My Friend
I went up into the hills today. It was unseasonably sunny, so not ideal photo weather…but I was feeling inspired as fuck and couldn’t stay inside. I was expecting to see HORDES of walkers on my wanderings because of the summer-like weather in winter. But, to my absolute delight, I saw not a soul. It… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #10 – A Moor Of Her Own
I like to make props for my photography. These self-portraits are from a couple of years ago (though just edited for the first time the other night) and feature some demonic fingers I crafted using silver foil, masking tape and black paint. These fingers were some of the first props I made and while I've… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #5 – She Creeps
Celebrating the strange and the shadowy, the damned and unseen
