Lughnasadh

Lughnasadh

Crops are growing up well in the fields just down the road from my house and the forest is full of bird song, brambles, flowers and budding berries. In days to come there will be foraging trips for making wines, cordials, jams and chutneys while my friend’s front garden is full of chammomile flowers and her greenhouse plants are thriving from the sunshine…

Goddess Poppet Knitting Pattern

Goddess Poppet Knitting Pattern

I have often downloaded knitting patterns for free from the internet and some of them have been superb. In return I’ve now done one of my own. I’ve been making these Goddess dolls for years – most of my female friends have one in their home somewhere. The idea behind the doll is to create a unique poppet that can be a representation of the Goddess for your altar – knitted in different colours and decorated for each season or…
