Dear ones,
I feel it is time for an update on the Awakening the Wild Witch audiobook project.
I’m happy to let you know that the recording of Awakening the Wild Witch is under way. Such work can be slow as time and consideration needs to be taken to record the book in the best way to capture the intention and special voice.
Being aware of the time this project is taking, I am excited to let you kno...

Dear ones,
As I write this, Halloween approaches: that liminal time when the veil grows thin and the world feels hushed, expectant. The air holds the scent of endings and beginnings intertwined. The light lingers gold for a moment before slipping away, and somewhere inside us, something ancient stirs. If you are looking for ways to celebrate the season, whether in the northern hemisphere or the south, you can check out my 2025-10-30 07:00:05 +0000 UTC

Hello, my lovelies.
I hope you're having a beautiful week. The weather is wild here!
As most of you are heading into Samhain, I felt it would be fun to create a seasonal craft guide.
As the veil between worlds begins to thin and autumn’s chill settles in, Samhain invites us to slow down and gather close—around the hearth, a glowing candle, or a cozy craft table. This is the season for reflection and remembrance, for hono...

Hello my lovelies,
I hope you all had a lovely week! I've been recovering from having a book and course release within a week of each other in September, having a good rest, and I've just started tinkering with the 6th Crones book. I drafted about half of it a few months back, and then it needed a rest too. I've started to edit the first few chapters, and it's shaping up well! (Yes, I still plan to write the 10th Myrtlewood Mysteries boo...

Hello my lovelies,
Thank you for the beautiful response to Sacred Shadow Work. Your messages have touched me deeply - so many of you sharing your own underworld journeys, your readiness to meet what's been hidden, your courage to stop running from your shadows.
For those of you who haven't got the course yet, I'm giving you one of the meditations from the course, the Cauldron Rain meditation, below.

Dear one,
I want to share something personal with you.
The past year has been one of the hardest I’ve ever gone through in my life. After so much soaring success - my books reaching an audience of hundreds of thousands of people and many of my dreams coming true - a new season descended, as space opened inside me to do even deeper healing. When initiation calls like this, I know I must answer.
So I have been on an underworl...

Azalea Burk is no ordinary guide to the dark. To call her a master of shadow work is to understate the centuries she has spent in the company of fear, rage, and forbidden desire. She is not afraid of the unconscious. She courts it, waltzes with it, hosts it as though it were a guest of honour at a velvet-draped banquet.
“It’s an underworld journey, my dear,” she says with a knowing smile. “The metaphor is useful, you...

Hello my lovelies,
As the world slowly starts to wake up after the long winter here in New Zealand I’ve been enjoying the positive shift of energy that the pull of the new season brings. Even as the seasons shift, I have been delving deeply into my magical shadow work again. I find that shadow work is at its most potent in the hardest of times when the only emanation of light is the fact you are there, present in the moment. Acting as ...

Hello my lovelies,
Over the years, I’ve seen how powerful it can be when witches and magical folk come together—not just to celebrate the seasons or share knowledge, but to belong to something meaningful.
In a world that often pulls us into isolation, that rewards individual hustle and constant output, carving out space for spiritual connection and shared ritual is both nourishing and subversive. It’s also deeply nee...
