Imogen, I loved the evocative detail of the surroundings and the rituals! I am always fascinated by the commonalities in various folk traditions and beliefs. Thank you for the beautiful images and poems!

“Spear the eye, spear the clutching hand”....such beauty in your words.

Thank you Jane. I don’t consider myself a poet really but it was somehow easy to open myself up to the words in a place like that.

It is very easy to inhabit the worlds you describe with your words. How connected we all are, to each other and the Ancestors! A lovely interesting read as always.

What a lovely read!! I’m so blessed that I stumbled upon you (via Jacqueline), your writing helps me so much to bring together my own calendar of days, to suit down here. Your words touch a place in me, that almost seems to be part of what you write about. We don’t have Moon names, I tried it once, to make my own up, but it didn’t come together

Much gratitude ~ Robyn ❤️

Thank you Robyn, and I’m so glad to know that the things I share are providing a sort of touchstone for your own ways of celebrating the seasons. I think it’s good to recognise that certain things aren’t easily assimilated or just don’t resonate with you and focus on the bits that fall into place smoothly!

I can't remember how I came across Bracken & Wrack, but as I live in Norfolk thought it would be interesting. I now realise you're about a mile away as the crow flies from where my parents have lived for about 60 years. I told my Mum about Hundred Stream, and she'd never known it's called that. Thank you for the lovely and interesting posts.
