It's been hard and heavy the past couple of months. Time - of which I used to have an abundance of - to create is limited, and I've been suffering. When I don't blog, it feels like something integral to my well-being has been cut out of my life. It doesn't feel as though my… Continue reading New Beginnings Aren’t Easy, But Hell, They’re Necessary

Your Eyes Burn Like Wild Fire
You might know, you might not, but I do photography sometimes. I'm also a poet. A couple of months ago an art curator got in touch with me after seeing my photography and words on Instagram, and asked if he could exhibit some of my work. I said sure, and yesterday I had my photography… Continue reading Your Eyes Burn Like Wild Fire
List Of Lust
So here we are, the first 'proper' post! And what better way to get things rolling than with talking about stuff I'd love to have but can't. List Of Lust is a very self-explanatory feature...I'm basically rounding up all the wyrd things that I've had my eye on over the past week, and putting them… Continue reading List Of Lust
The Wyrd Is Back
I knew I wouldn't be able to say goodbye for long. I was like a mother who was denying her baby the breast...I felt bloody terrible for stepping away. A few days after I made my 'last' post, where I talked about not knowing the future of Wyrd Words & Effigies, I was itching to… Continue reading The Wyrd Is Back
It Was A Wyrd January
January, where oh fucking where did you go? Last time I blinked it was mid-December. Things were a little bit quiet over here for the first month of 2017. Much quieter than I would have liked, to be honest. Long timers will know I like to keep it busy. But I'm going to give January… Continue reading It Was A Wyrd January
Sound Of The Day : Elysian Fields
I have just spent the past hour on Metal Archives with the intention of finding myself some new black metal - bands I've never encountered before - to indulge my senses in and to treat you to, but found myself at a horrible fucking loss after investigating several projects and being disappointed by every. single.… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Elysian Fields
Sound Of The Day : Sadness
I went in search of the origins of the Atmospheric BM band Sadness after I'd been swept up by Tundra, the 18th release since the birth of the project in 2014. I was expecting to see a wealth of names attached to the Sadness Metal Archives page, and nearly spat out my tea to see… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Sadness
The Witch & Her Familiar
A shot from this morning when I captured my beautiful friend and muse @erzabethbathory with her familiar Boney. In the event that I've whetted your appetite, you can find more of my photography at my website here. In case you need some other obscure stuff filling up your feed, I'm also on Instagram.
Stitching In The Dark : A Week Of Swedish Words
Oh my goodness if feels so good to sit down and write here. I've been aching for my blog for days now, and have felt so fucking forlorn when I've needed to go to bed without sharing. But I'm here now and can breathe a little bit easier. This little project of mine went much… Continue reading Stitching In The Dark : A Week Of Swedish Words
Stitching In The Dark : A Week Of Swedish Words
I was excited when I woke up this morning, excited A: because there was snow outside (but also great stretches of ice which made walking to school a bitch). B: Because I had SFI and I am loving learning Swedish for real. And C: because after my SFI class I would be heading down the… Continue reading Stitching In The Dark : A Week Of Swedish Words
