Join me for a journey through the idea of surrender – what it means, why it’s important, and how we can find that all important Divine Femin

I'm a firm believer that this journey through life is all about learning, and maybe if we all shared our lessons with one another, then

A while ago I was accused of sneakily attacking men when I said I hated the patriarchy. And I can understand why - there seems to be an idea

You may have heard the name Lilith - first woman, alleged queen of demons and mother of all evil. But have you ever stopped to meet this God

I saw a story recently about women sharing their post-labour photos in comparison to Kate Middleton's photos straight after giving birth

People talk about swimming in Glastonbury's White Spring as a holy experience. But when you're a woman with a wobbly tummy and no sw

I recently completed the most transformational experience of my life. Lisa Lister's She Power Coven involved five months of circling wit

When it comes to the Divine Feminine there are four female archetypes; the Maiden, the Mother, the Wild Woman and the Crone. But the idea th

Spirituality is a massive part of who I am. Yet I've never found a place of worship in which I feel at home, or a religious text which r

Every now and again something comes along that changes your entire outlook on something you’ve done a million times before. For me, one of those things came earlier this year when I listened to a podcast interview with burlesque performer, witch and all around glamorously magical lady Veronica Varlow. Veronica spoke of her Circle of Seven; seven women who inspire her so much that she’s put their photos on her vision board in a circle around her own – reminding herself every

I think it was Albus Dumbledore who said that words are our most inexhaustible source of magic. And as a writer, there are few things I love more than beautiful words. But this post is about one word in particular; my favourite word of all. And although it comes with a warning that some people may be offended by this, I certainly don’t apologise for that… and you’ll see why in a moment. So here it is, my favourite word of all: Cunctipotent. Yup. Cuntipotent. Go on, roll that

Thanks to my week off last week I’m a little bit behind the curve at the moment but still, as a woman and someone devoted to helping other women love themselves, this is an important day to focus on! It’s about standing up and starting a conversation around women’s rights and taking a stand to say that until every single woman in the world is being treated fairly, things still aren’t good enough. Think about it; even now in my very civilised life in a very democratic society

Earlier this week a friend of mine posted on Facebook that it “may be oversharing but I hate periods!” I loved the status and I love her but a (jokey and well meaning) reply that yes it was oversharing sort of boiled my blood, if you'll pardon the pun. Around half of the world’s human population will bleed at some point in their lives, yet we still talk about periods in hushed tones as though they’re something to be ashamed of. I’ll hold my hands up and say that not long ago

Last week I learned one of the most captivating things about my body ever. I was reading Love Your Lady Landscape by the amazing Lisa Lister (seriously it’s awesome, she’s awesome, I even get a mention – go read it!) and saw the following sentence: “My most favourite fact to share about the ovaries is that we have all the eggs we’re ever going to have when still a foetus inside our Mumma’s body.” - Lisa Lister So basically what that means is that as a woman, your children exi

Shelley and I are unashamed feminists. Does that mean we hate men, think women are better, or that we deserve some sort of special treatment in everything we do? Most definitely not. It means we believe in equality. True, true equality. On a spiritual level that’s about encouraging the world to embrace the Divine feminine within and outside of themselves; to see Her amazingness and to recognise the Goddess as well as the God in everything they do. On a grounded, physical leve

In case I hadn’t already noticed it there are often plenty of people keen to point out to me the fact that, at 32, I haven’t yet had children so am not a mother. The first part of that is absolutely true of course; at this point in time I have no children of my own having so far not found the right person to bring children into the world with. The second part, however, I would disagree with… You see, at 4.30am I was on my hands and knees clearing up sick and other things I wo

Today is my mum's birthday. It's a special one, although I don't think I'm allowed to say which one. But on a blog where I regularly talk about the things that have inspired me, I thought that it was a good place to tell her – and the world – just how amazing she is. To be honest my mum probably won't like this too much. She's not really a fan of being the centre of attention, to the point that after her last big birthday when I organised a surprise meal with all of the famil
