There was comfort that half of the hardest, coldest months […]
Hekate’s Night – A Winter’s Tale by Renee Starr
Hidden by the shadowy overgrowth of dying vines and dry, lifeless trees she stood at the crossroad, the borderlands where the realm of the living mingled with the world beyond.

The wheel of the year is just about to turn and we will be welcoming in the first of the Harvest festivals, Lughnasadh, on August 1st.
