This week I wanted to talk about my latest drawing, the inspiration behind ‘Born of the stars’ (A4 paper, graphite and acrylic). ‘Born of the stars’ 2020 Graphit and acrylic on A4 paper As regular readers and instagram followers (@oneseeingghost) will know, I became a mum for the first time last August. My beautiful daughter, Rose, is now 8 months old, and is changing every day. This drawing has come from a transition into becoming a mother, with a new understanding of what I

We’ve probably all heard about salt baths, and seen the products available when browsing the shelves of our local health shops and super markets. Advertised almost as a spa treatment at home, that a soak in a salt bath can moisturize skin, soothe aching muscles and help flush toxins out of the body. A warm salt bath can ease stress and calm the body and mind, perfect after a long day! Himalayan salt is light pink in colour and contains over 80 minerals However, in witchcraft

So a few days ago, I sat with my pen and post it notes and decided to write a couple topics for some blogs posts so I could be prepared and start thinking about what to write about this week. I’m generally an organised person, and since becoming Mum, this has gone into organised – the extreme addition. If I’m out with my daughter (which is a lot) you can guarantee I have packed for every situation – spare clothes, extra dummy, dummy sterilizer, water, bottles, snacks, toys et

Blue celestite cluster I love crystals! I love to look whenever we go past a metaphysical shop, and I often end up buying something. They are so beautiful, and even if you don’t believe they hold healing abilities, I’m sure it can be agreed that they are amazing in their colours and formations. I remember the first time I came across crystals and their healing properties. I was around 8 years old, and on a family holiday, somewhere in the UK. We had gone to a small theme park

I started mediating many years ago now, back sometime in my teenage years. I’d heard about it’s benefits, particularly health wise, and as I was struggling with depression (and the other mental health related difficulties that go along with that) I decided to try. Throughout the years, I have dipped in and out of practice. I have mostly engaged with guided meditations that I found on Youtube, such as meeting your guardian angel, though have also mediated independently. When I

So a couple weeks ago, I went to a Spiritual Get Together (read about it here if you haven’t had chance yet) hosted by healer and holistic therapist Helen Shortland. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, it was a couple hours breather for me from doing ‘mum’ things and a chance to learn some tips on how to read oracle cards, meditate and give healing, which was a completely new experience for me. I have put these skills into practice since, giving my husband an oracle reading using a

Rose quartz guardian angel painting hanging in my daughters bedroom This week I’d like to share with you a little craft I made for my daughter using a beautiful rose quartz guardian angel – suitably a rose for my little Rose. Crystals are not only stunning natural formations, it is also believe that they hold an energetic frequency that brings healing qualities to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. Rose quartz is well known for being a ‘love’ stone, for bri

When I was scrolling through my Facebook page, I saw that Helen Shortland (helenshortland.com) had posted a link to her monthly newsletter – which is always a welcome read! One particular part that really piqued my interest was a Spiritual Get Together, where we would be doing a guided mediation, oracle card reading practice and healing practice. That was it, I was definitely going! (Though double checked Hubby didn’t have plans so he could be on Dad duty.) I first met Helen

Hello everyone! So it has been a lot longer then I had anticipated since my first (and last) post. I had hoped to make blogging a weekly practice. I do understand it is a learning curve, and over the past week and half (maybe nearly two weeks) I have felt very ill and needed to have a break, from everything. As we approach the middle of January, the sky is getting lighter, and I look forward to being able to make the most of the natural light to photograph my drawings – I hav
