Star & Stone

As the seasons shift and the world around us transforms, we find ourselves at a crossroads — a point of transition and change, where the old gives way to the new, and the world reveals its enchanting, ever-shifting tapestry. It’s here, in this dance of the seasons, that we embark on a journey. A journey into the heart of nature’s mysteries, a journey through time and tradition, and a journey towards self-discovery and growth. Welcome to star & stone.

May our work be a blessing. This, my friends, is my work. This is the creation and revelation of one small exploration of polytheistic witchery, of the study of druidry, of old ways for new days and the magic and power of the Indo-European cosmos.

In this work, you will find my attempt at weaving together all of the strands that have come to be part of this hearth practice. This is Indo-European paganism through a Celtic lens, it is bioregional animist witchcraft, it is domestic monasticism, it is guided by the North Star and the dark Earth. It is all of these things and none of these things.

Formally, I am a Priestess of Ár nDraíocht Féin, and a member of Ceilí Sídhe, an initiatory Celtic tradition. Naturally, these traditions also inform and inspire my practice, but hearth comes before cult, and hearth is every day. It is from here that we move outwards — to our tribe, to our communities, to the world.

I strive to cultivate beauty: to live a simple and embodied life that celebrates abundance, connection, and devotion. Beauty is the ultimate virtue, for living in accordance with the cosmos bestows great blessings upon us; may we all find our truth.

Thank you, readers, who have been here through the many changes and disappearances of this blog. If you have been here a while, you may see some themes revisited, but as we come around to them again, may they inspire something new within us. Here in this place, we are living by aisling and archaeology, by reimagining and reconstruction, by star and stone; this is what we know and what we dare to dream.
