Welcome to Mrs Darley's Blog

This blogspot has been created especially for those who wish to share their ideas and thoughts about the natural world as the year turns and the ancient Pagan festivals that were once celebrated by our ancestors.

Poetry, prose craft work, ancient cure craft and general thoughts and feelings on how the change in the weather and seasons makes you feel are all encouraged and welcomed.

Mrs Darley was my once next door neighbour when I lived amongst the wilds of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall back in the early 1990's. Her charismatic ways and unending wisdom lead me on a journey of self discovery as I spiralled ever further into her magical world.

She has since become the central character in the 'Mrs Darley' series of books.

The solstice draws ever closer and many are anxious about what this my bring. For me, I feel that the old world orders that have held sway for 2000 years will begin to fall away, our consciousness will rise and we will gradually come to see through the religious and commercial spin that has been fed to us and begin to take responsibility for our own lives and our own beliefs.
We have become slaves to misery, commercialism, greed and fear, always thinking we're not good enough, not clever enough, not pretty enough or rich enough to be accepted by those we consider to be 'better' than us, when in reality we should simply try to accept ourselves for the unique people that we are.

The Wolf Moon



Although this month's new moon is now a few days old, it was once referred to as the 'Wolf Moon'. It was the first moon after the dark time and although the wolf was sacred to the Celts it was seen as a lean animal and represented a time of abstinance and suspension following the solstice activities. Although the ancients knew that the sun was gaining in strength they still recognised that the worst of the weather was yet to come.
