We are living in a time when power feels performative, reactive, hungry for dominance. Titles are confused with wisdom. Volume is mistaken for authority. Truth is bent to fit ego.

A council of grandmothers represents something entirely different. Not nostalgia, but leadership shaped by memory and consequence, by the lived understanding that every decision ripples forward into bodies and soil and children not yet born.

Grandmothers know what survives and what collapses. They understand the cost of pride. They recognize how fragile ecosystems are, how fragile trust is, how quickly harm multiplies when accountability disappears.

This longing is not about replacing one hierarchy with another. It is about craving continuity instead of conquest. But it is also more personal than politics.

For generations, matriarchal wisdom was buried, dismissed, burned, institutionalized, rewritten. The brilliance of women who understood land, cycles, conflict, healing, governance, and restraint was treated as threat instead of inheritance. Their knowing did not vanish. It went underground.

We feel the absence because the memory still lives in us.
Looking to the matrilineal line is not regression, it is reclamation. Discernment runs in our blood. Authority does not have to dominate to be real.

Perhaps what we are aching for is not only governance shaped by those who remember. Perhaps we are being asked to become what we were denied.

I always feel so lucky
to have my birthday at this time of year.
1 May, Beltane. A pagan fire festival. Just when the earth is really starting to awaken. Green everywhere. May flowers, spring lambs, budding trees, bluebells.
Nestled between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. A time of year for getting outside as much as I can. I love it when I’m by a river or the sea when it’s sunny. I always feel so much more alive and ‘me’ when I have all the elements Earth (the land) Air (the wind) Fire (the sun) and West )the sea or rivers). Something happens to me. It’s difficult to describe it fully but it fills me up with beautiful positive energy.
Nature is all around us in some form and it’s so beneficial for the brain to see far distances of natural surroundings.
Tomorrow evening I’m holding a Beltane Fire Ceremony outside in my garden for our Wheel of the Year Women’s circle.
Let’s hope the weather holds up!

I met Jackie long before I booked my healing session with her and I used to say “I need you” but I wasn’t ready and Jackie would say to me... “I’ll be here when you’re ready”.
Then I was ready and I can’t describe how incredible the experience was. I felt safe in Jackie’s presence, her energy is unmatched. I didn’t know what to expect but my goodness... it exceeded any expectations that I may have had. I came away feeling lighter, more relaxed, rid of all the baggage and energetic ties that were having a negative impact on my day to day life. For this l am so grateful and I cannot thank Jackie enough. I
wholeheartedly recommend her if you’re ready and you are looking for that pivotal moment in life 💕
