A little calm in the noise of the world. Loving the fading light, feeling a quiet in the twilight, hearing the birds going to roost.
Sending gentle majick and peace to you and yours.

There is a gentle mist and quiet this autumn morning, a welcome sigh, a crumlush calm.

The ‘chamber’ from The Hidden Castle is a majickal Sunday escape.

Hoping your week is treating you kindly, majickal folk. Today I’ve been working on a new card illustration for The Hidden Castle oracle - Trading - it will be a ‘Pastures’ card, which is one of the four sections in the oracle. An earth weaver witch and her stall of herbs and potions…. #witchsky #art

I waited on Whitcliffe Common for the sun to come up over Ludlow and I managed to capture a hint of sunlight on the castle as it emerged from the early-morning mist. And yes - I purposely lined up the castle chimney in the centre of the shot with the masts on Brown Clee in the distance. #Shropshire
