Desegregation of US schools - 1960

Walking, alone & solitary, in ancient woodland feeds me. Solitary, I can listen, stop, watch, smell, and touch, sit for ages on a log by a stream just sensing the threads of the land as they work their way into me. I feel my own threads going down from my feet into the heart of the Earth … and the Earth-threads coming up to feed me in return. It’s the most gorgeous sensation!

My first in-the-flesh meeting with Elen of the Ways

Meetings from Elen of the Ways

Hi ❣️-  I'm a quirky, off the wall, laid back Awenydd, wild woman, Crazy Cat Lady, who lives in the back of beyond, in the Welsh Marches, with my black witchy cat, mad scientist husband, and a host of wildlife.

On this channel, i'm telling stories, the old stories I grew up with.s Dad was a Cyfarwydd, a Taleweaver, and showed me how to be one too, so I'm sharing our old tales with you.

I'm an author too, currently writing my third novel, my thirteenth book three of which are best sellers, and Elen of the Ways has sold 10,000 copies. I'm doing readings from all the books, fiction and non-fiction, here too. I'll be adding insights, ideas, drumming, and bits of teachings too.

Mum was a witch, and both sides of my family practiced the Old Ways of British magic for many generations so I learned to follow the deer trods with my mother's milk and, for the past 40+ years I've shared it as I teach British native shamanism. 
See you all on the other side ... 💫
