This will be the last post I publish on Wyrd Words & Effigies*. I can't think of a better way of bringing this lengthy journey (I've been publishing here since 2013) to a close than by featuring a conversation with one of the most significant figures to have played a role in my life as… Continue reading The Last Conversation : An Interview With Bob Beagrie
I've been gone a little while. Life has been happening, and I've permitted myself to be a part of it. In the past, the guilt I would have experienced about not keeping up with something I'd set out to do would have been brutally heavy and mean. It would have mentally beaten me to a… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #38 – There’s Been Some Life In My Life
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've deleted the content of this post because I don't think it was necessary to have here. What I will say though is that 'thing I did that you should never do' was I looked at an ex's Instagram account. It wasn't a wise thing to do. It just hurt.
A stash of 47 copies of Zero Tolerance Magazine has been in my parent’s loft for several years. Before I saw the box, I was thinking of trying to sell them, but once I started pulling them out, I was smashed with the heaviest wave of nostalgia and started thinking, ‘I don’t know if I can part… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #33 – Probably The Most Random Blog Post Of Them All But Bear With Me
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 don't have much to say today because I'm tired. as. fuck. I do, however, have a self-portrait to share from a glorious walk I took this afternoon. I was the only one for miles, so it seemed, and it made me so freaking joyous. I've been feeling 'urgh!' about my figure recently and I'm… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #31 – She’s Different, That One
I saw a stoat the other week. It was a fleeting moment, like, mere seconds, but I'm still carrying the magic of it with me. I whispered, 'be safe, friend,' as it threw itself away from the footpath and bounded into the woodland. I said 'be safe' primarily because the stoat was fleeing into woodland… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #30 – My Friend The Stoat
It's been a weird few days. Ill health seems to be the overriding theme of my life at the moment. Yesterday I was told I have IBS, and I've been referred on the two-week rule to see a dermatologist for a mole that's snuck into my life. I'm handling the mole thing surprisingly well. My… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #29 – It’s Ok Not To Be On Fire
