Imogen your writing is so professional and beautiful and you really need to to put it in book form so it can be shared by more and not lost online...it reminds me of The diary of an Edwardian Lady as well as the work of Beatrice Potter and many more x
Maura, oh wow that is such a kind and beautiful thing to say. Thank you - you’ve really put a sparkle into my day. I have long dreamed of writing a book but I can never decide quite where to focus and how to organise the threads, so it never happens. I would really value any thoughts or opinions on this - as an indecisive Libran it just feels as if there are so many directions I could take it. Dividing topics by season? Place? Include recipes or how-tos or just pieces about where I live between the heath and the sea? I’d love to know what you would find appealing or of value. Meanwhile a huge Thank You again x
All of it Imogen because you have such a wealth of experience on every level.
All of your experiences As you say it needs to be structured and maybe something like a year book , monthly, seasonally, so you could break it down and contain and control it all..each month even starting with 12 separate pieces of work/material
Perhaps do lists of headings to give yourself guidelines
Include perhaps why your love nature,your druid threads that run through your materials
You are a gifted woman and people are drawn to your gentle nature in such materialist and difficult times , include your food in each month,seasons your recipes,your beautiful art work enoy the experience of sharing what you love times
Thank you Maura, I am so grateful for your thoughts and advice. I find it really hard from the ‘inside’ to work out where the strongest threads are and whether anyone might be interested in what I could offer that maybe adds in some way to what’s already out there. This is really helpful x
You already have a visual diary of what you are doing and why you are doing things that is an amazing piece of work already and you do ,talk about so many other things that brings you you and pleasure your pieces on this site also express so much in words of what you show on your visuals
Your articulation of your experiences in your written work are beautiful
Do one of your lovely mediative stones ,I won't go on but that is another beautiful thing you create , that's what I mean by everything
Dear Imogen, thoroughly enjoying your newsletters and the stories you share with us. Such beautiful pictures too. I was interested to read about your encounter with the man in black at the stone circle. I started dowsing myself a couple of years ago - always asking permission before doing so - don't want to upset anyone present, human or elemental. Joyous to have this connection with Nature. I also watched your recent Youtube video. Your garden is really coming into colour now! Many blessings to you. xx
Dear Pauline, thank you so much for your kind words about the newsletters and the recent video. It’s lovely to meet new friends here. I was very interested to hear about your dowsing journey and I’d love to hear more about your findings. I’ve had some amazing experiences myself - there is so much more out there than rational science can explain! May-tide blessings to you X
I love the idea of a liminal phase between blackthorn and whitethorn. It's struck me this year how very different they are from each other: the former almost spectral with the iciness of a late frost, the latter with its abundant creamy clusters - the very essence of May.
Yes, aren’t they different? It’s hard to mix them up even during that liminal phase where, some years, both briefly co-exist. This idea of a pause between the black and the white came to me in a flash on a Derbyshire hillside - strange how these things happen!
So very interesting about the dropping drone in the centre of standing stone circles. I’m not surprised, as whether they were positioned on a ley line or other path or not, WE have given them a certain energy over many moons. These sacred places need quiet aloneness to be fully experienced or in this case, opened for us through your insights and words. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Elizabeth. Yes, that was a jaw-dropping moment, hearing about the effect on the drone of reaching the very centre of the circle. And yes, I agree with you that the energies they’ve acquired over millennia must be staggering.
