As summer begins to slumber and autumn awakens.
Grab a copy of Word Witchery to nourish your magical powers as we cosy up with a cup of tea during the 'ber' months!
This in-between time of summer and autumn is a favorite time for me, I'll forever be a liminal lady.
AND who is ready for Practical Magic 2? 🙋🏻‍♀️
There's a big section in my book full of practical magical rituals and spells to try.
🔮🖤🎃
Big thank you to my beautiful and talented friend Urania's Magick Mirror for the gorgeous photos! You know me so well and I appreciate the time you took to create these images.

Myself and other brilliant authors are involved in an upcoming Moon Books Publishing anthology all about DEATH (and the afterlife).
💀🗝️🔱
Wanna guess what chapter I'll be writing?
I am now in research/writing mode til the end of October all about one of my favorite topics!
The anthology itself won't be out for a while yet, the writers need to write, Moon Books then need to compile and edit, plus design the book cover and a whole host of things that go into publishing a book.
Stay tuned darklings!

A few weeks ago we visited a very special exhibition in London. I've wanted to see the art works from this school for a few years now. I do want to do a couple of their short courses in Persian and Indian miniature painting one day.
I told Craig "I promise you, you'll be enchanted" and upon arrival he gasped "Wow, ok...wow!"
🎨
This is the MA final degree show of the The King's Foundation School of Traditional Arts this is an art school that focuses on traditional techniques in an array of cultures such as Greek Orthodox icon painting, Persian & Indian miniature paintings, Arabic calligraphy, Tibetan thangka, sacred geometry, Celtic designs, Arabesque & Biomorphic Design, medieval book illumination, Islamic mosaics, wood carving and gilding and much more.
Their work dives into the mysticism of art craft which is a topic I LOVE to research--- the intrinsic human desire to craft art for magical and mystical intention is so fascinating! And it may be something I specialize in as a budding social historian of the occult and folklore and also as an artist/poet.
The exhibition space felt airy and bright, felt sacred, like I could pause in prayer and contemplate life. All the artworks were so gorgeous.

Day trip to St Albans. A fantastic heritage city full of medieval intrigue and ancient Roman remnants!
Visited St Albans cathedral to marvel at the 11th century architecture, rare medieval paintings and stained glass window art. As well as visiting the resting place of St Alban himself who is known as Britain's first Christian martyr.
🌞
Later we visited the fragments of the ancient Roman town of Verulamium which includes a Roman theatre (still in use), subterranean shrine, preserved mosaic floor, pottery and remains of the London Gate. This site was burned completely to the ground by Queen Boudicca in AD 61.
There is a myth that one of Britain’s oldest recorded dragon legends features a "wyrm" that supposedly terrorised the local area. In local lore there is also a witch called Old Mother Haggy!

One of my best and oldest friends has made a song dedicated to me 🥹
Wendy is currently learning how to produce music with her lyrics and voice. This is something she has been dabbling in quietly for years but now wishes to showcase her talent more. She's super passionate about her creative process, learning how to layer and mix sounds. She writes all her own lyrics and sings them.
Her style is exactly what I adore: slinky, siren, echoes of 80s and 90s synth flavour mixed with world beats. Think Portishead, Sneaker Pimps and Lisa Hall.
Another dear friend said "it's the type of music I could imagine on something like Vampire Diaries or if ACOTAR was a Netflix series"

This track will eventually be on Spotify as part of her upcoming album!
I'm so proud of her!

It's such an honour she's made this song with me in mind. To feel seen in this way is truly special. The people who have already heard the track have said "Wow it's so YOU Katie". This would be a great track to belly dance to!
For reference: Katebet is the name of an Egyptian priestess, you can visit her decorated sarcophagus at the British Museum. She was a chantress who created and performed hymns to the gods.
🗝️🔮🔱
Go have a listen to Wendy's track!

Jade of Urania's Mirrors posted this short but beautiful reel of Word Witchery and her ritual workings from the book, connecting with the High Priestess.
It's lovely to see readers sharing their craft from spells I've written.
She says "This one is my favorite, it was so potent! I adapted it to utilize my crystal ball and it really got me thinking about self worth, boundaries and it's ok to keep things behind the veil sometimes to protect your sovereignty."
It's lovely to see readers connecting with the book!
If you haven't snagged a copy, you can buy Word Witchery on Amazon!
