Inspired by the Elements

My childhood was a blessing and a deep foundation of who I am. I spent my early years in rural Wales. My days were immersed in nature.The hedgerows, streams, animals and the elements were my playground. I had the freedom to let my creativity and imagination run wild. The stories of my ancestors were alive, their bones and blood had created the earth for generations in this ancient land that I played upon. The landscape, the rock and stones held their stories. The stories that are weaved into my being through language and culture.

These roots developed a love and appreciation for nature and wild spaces. Immigrating to Canada and living in the Rockies awoke this ancient stirring in me again. Hearing the wolves howl on a full moon and the wilderness of the land. There has always been a part of me that feels at peace in these wild places. there is a stillness that soothes my soul and connection to a time that life had a different rhythm.

Gaia’s Song is my offering of Magik and creation from the Cauldron of the witch Ceridwen. All these creations are made with intention. I only harvest what I need and listen to the land and the plant spirits on the day I harvest. I ask for permission and honour the traditional territories of the original people of this land that I now call home. I respect a “ no’, if that’s the answer that I hear that day. When I create I call upon my roots and my own lineage. I call on the Grandmothers in my ancestry that have tended the gardens and created medicine for generations. I call upon the magik of the cauldron that has created wisdom and healing through transformation and inspiration.
