Welcome to this Yule pick-a-card woven for the hinge of the year — when the dark folds in close and the first spark of returning light stirs beneath it.

Three candle-marked piles, herbs and chime bowls, and guidance drawn from the old path.

Settle in, choose the pile that calls, and step with me into the quiet doorway of winter. 🕯️❄️💜

I’m curious which pile found you , feel free to share 🕯️

Dia Duit agus Fáilte Hello & Welcome mo charas

In this episode, I explore old Irish mourning traditions, drawing from my visits to the Ulster Folk Museum and the Doagh Famine Village. I speak about the wake customs, the keeners, and the cultural roots behind these rituals, honouring how our ancestors held grief as a communal, sacred experience.

Throughout the episode, I share a heart-chakra candle blessing, gentle drumming, and my own short keening-style lament at the end — offered not as performance, but as remembrance. This episode creates a soft space where grief is honoured, witnessed, and held, rather than something to fix or rush through.

A grounded journey into Irish heritage, healing, and the sacredness of mourning.

Lughnasadh – The First Harvest & Honouring the Sacred Shift

In this episode, we step into the energy of Lughnasadh, the first of the harvest festivals on the Wheel of the Year. I reflect on the sacred lessons this sabbat offers—letting go, surrendering control, honouring the unseen work, and embracing the in-between.

Lughnasadh invites us to slow down and recognise what has been quietly growing within us, even if the outer harvest hasn’t fully arrived. Together, we honour the shifts in season and spirit, the endings disguised as pauses, and the deep medicine of not forcing the bloom.

This is a gentle offering for those who feel caught between grief and growth, between the seed and the fruit. May it hold space for your process and remind you: rest is part of the harvest too.

Sovereignty vs Servitude Reclaiming the Right to Choose

In this deep and soul-stirring episode, we unravel the spiritual bindings of servitude and explore what it means to reclaim true sovereignty. Through the lens of past lives, ancestral vows, and collective conditioning , I share how the old imprint of “duty” and “sacrifice” can still echo in our modern lives, and how to break free from it.

We will explore the following

* The soul contracts and hidden vows that bind us to service without consent

*How religious trauma and lifetimes of suppression shape our spiritual path

*Why reclaiming our magic, voice, and power is not rebellion — it’s remembrance

*The sacred difference between giving from depletion and giving from overflow

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like they must give, serve, or stay silent and is now ready to stand in their light by choice, not obligation.
