Y Mabinogi – The 4th Branch Recording is Complete
The blog and my Patreon have been a little quiet over the past few weeks as I've put the finishing touches on the 4th Branch album. It brings together nearly two years of work, plus this album is also the culmination of a journey to bring the Four Branches of the Mabinogi to audio with spoken word, poetry, and song - these tales were always meant to be heard, not read - that began nearly ten years ago.

My song for the Autumn Equinox. The light has changed this morning, the air has the chill of Autumn, the leaves are falling.

Green Grimiore – A Magical Trip to Wales
Hi All, this is our first video in quite a while. We took a pilgrimage to Wales and Anglesey to see some good friends and clear our heads, back in March. It was wonderful, spiritually nourishing, fun and much needed. We spent quality time with Kristoffer Hughes and Ian Gibb, visiting some of our favourite sacred places. On the way home we also got to see a couple more dear friends too.

I intended to play a gig somewhere in the USA about every two years, but then the Pandemic hit, and that idea went flying out the window. Eight years after my last visit to PSG, I got the chance to return, and it was wonderful to be with everyone again.

Who am I? 1 – Cornwall to Sussex
Some of you will have been following my music for decades, whilst others might have only just discovered it, so I thought it might be nice to reintroduce myself and let you know a bit more about who I am and how I got here. One of my favourite books of recent times has been Vivianne Crowley's Wild Once, where she talks about her life, her path, how she discovered her Craft - essentially who she is.
