The Magic Circle Hut

Tribe, upon request, I am starting a health coaching group. If you struggle with food, tiredness, stress, irritability, sleep, and getting the right (for you) movement in, this might be for you. Spots are very limited to ensure high quality coaching. Since it's a group thing, fees are reasonable (and negotiable, if needed). We start in January. I also coach again at Fredskalla (somatic strength training and functional movement), so if you want to combine the two, let me know. You can either PM me or book free info sessions directly through the Hut

Does your life lack magic? Do you feel stuck, burnt out, fed up, or lost? Good news, you found a "magic coach."

The "Stitchy, Stitchy, Crafty Witchy" November event came and went. Those who followed the summons (it was a full hut!!) can speak to how it went for them ;) Some who were summoned and wanted to come, could not due to illness or other factors. I will hold another event before the end of this year, and also extend new summons to those who'd like to be included. Let me know if you're interested to be summoned!
The way I've described this whole day event in short is: we inquire (through a well structured, guided somatic process and a series of questions) what no longer serves us and what is getting in the way of our longing. We create a ritual together (that's the crafting part!) that results in an object (mysterious!) that becomes the basis for a daily, transformative practice that is done beyond the event (but doesn't take any time, because it's anchored in something we do any day anyways!) :))
So, if you want to know details, write Hut, Hut, Hut below, PM me or reach out in other ways. I'm thinking a Saturday mid December for a date!!!!

"Stitchy, Stitchy, Crafty Witchy" November gathering update: summons text is written! Objects have been crafted. Invitation has been designed. Envelopes have been acquired. It's almost time to send it all on its way to those who are being summoned to do some magic at the Magic Circle Hut with me. OOOOHHHHH!

News about "Finding the Witch's Way" (forthcoming, published by Vanguard Press / Pegasus): Today I received the proofread copy and I wrote a new blurb for the cover! What do you all think?

Her auntie died. That’s, of course, too bad. But Lou didn’t really know her very well and auntie left her a cottage in the woods at the edge of some village on a little island in the Baltic. That, to Lou, sounds like a once in a lifetime chance to back out of the outwardly successful but inwardly dissatisfying life situation she finds herself in, and figure out what she really wants. Regarding the “not having known auntie very well”: one thing Lou didn’t know, was that auntie was a powerful witch. With her cottage comes a whole lot of magical baggage. As things get weird real fast around Lou, she needs to discover her own, dormant witchy powers, if she wants to keep her neck in this neck of the woods. Her constantly quibbling inner voices – the part that knows and the part that doubts – have many (conflicting) opinions along the way. The magical bookshelf is only helpful when asked the right question, Luke, the talking raven, is more rude than erudite, and other witches can only be trusted as far as you can fling their broomsticks. Come hell, highwater or a thunderstorm of turkeys, Lou must find her witch powers, and in the process, a whole new path begins to reveal itself to her that might just help her reimagine her life. That is, if she manages to survive.

“Stitchy stitchy, crafty witchy” Magic circle hut Nov gathering update: Those who are curious where your summons are: the hang up is the acquisition of an instrument that produces a steady flame for about two minutes. Or better yet- instruments have been acquiring but the proper connection to the highly explosive device that will fuel the flame has turned out to be a bit of a roadblock. Since I’d like to keep my face, I’m waiting for the delivery of the right thingummy jigget to facilitate the process I need to craft the thing I am going to include in your highly customized, hand made, magical summoning package. The experiments have now taken two weeks and an end is in sight. You will have your summons no later than a month ahead of the actual event which shall give you enough time for any potential preparations on your end 🙂

Made a first video of Magic Circle Hut weirdness. Not sure if I like making videos. People tell me I'm too wordy and they don't want to read that much lol. Maybe they don't want to watch me read s**t either, hahaha. Anyways, here goes, for whatever it's worth. The things I do are meant to be helpful to people on their various journeys. They are meant to be "true" in some deep way (at least to me) and allow for some vulnerable insight, some humbleness, and most of all, some humor. Gotta laugh about yourself and the world to be able to make it through, especially when things are tough.

Magic Circle Hut November Event in full preparation mode. Somatic & Psychomagic Ritual requires ingredients! They have now been ordered and are on their way!!!!! This is going to be crafty, profound, symbolic, and medial - an experience of walking between worlds, weaving the thread between today and tomorrow for the sake of moving ahead with greater inner alignment, openness, presence and in connection with the living world. As it befits a Fall event, we identify that which needs to be let go of, but instead of just "getting rid" of it, we engage in a DEEP BLEND and an alchemical, transformative process.

Summons have been identified. The event is full unless someone cancels. If anyone wants to join, let me know (HUT HUT HUT) and I'll put you on the waitlist. :)

walking between two worlds means sometimes getting really torn between them, too, and the need for a clear home base is becoming more and more apparent. My soul knows where she goes to rest and yet I have been hesitant to move in there. Afraid of commitment, I leave the door wide open so as not to close up any opportunities - I wonder, restlessly, because where you sleep, you get claimed. It is time, though.

Every song, as Tom Waits said, needs an address. It needs someone or something it is directed to, it speaks to, it longs to resonate with. Every song, however, also needs an address from which it can spring and spread.

It is from my soul place, my best work emerges. I can carry books and learnings there, to my soul realm, to inform the creative process and lend fill out the picture of intuitive understandings. My soul, however, does not travel well. I take her out from where she feels at home and her skin starts to dry up and itch. She misses the nourishment she finds in the forest and the view of the waves that clear her sight and the sea breeze that fills her lungs and invigorates her cells. I can stuff her in an office and tie her to a chair and say: "here, read, learn, listen and don't come out before you've produced something worthwhile, defensible, less vulnerable to academic critique." She will sit there and try, because she is dutiful and has been shaped to be 'good' by someone else's standards. But her feather coat will dull, her furry belly will reveal flakey skin patches, her claws will cramp and hurt and her eyes will be blinded by fluorescent light, unable to see in the dark and translate the secrets that bring life and magic to us all.

An open oven can't bake bread. It is time to move in, underground, into the soft, mossy caves that, through underground tunnels, illuminated by dreams, and the earth's soul whispers and images as old as life itself, open up to high cliffs with swooping seagulls and ocean views. It is time to carve my number into a piece of bark and hang it onto the cottage door on a piece of string - "here, I belong. Here, you can deliver your mail. Here, you can place the bottle of milk on my doorstep. Here, you can knock if you seek the medial woman who sees well in the dark and knows how to navigate forests and run with the wolves and swim with the seals."

Here, I rest.
Here, I receive.
From here, I travel.
To there, I return.
