I have been a searcher, a seeker - pretty much all my life.. and sometimes, it drives me insane. I have searched for my tribe.. not even knowing what a tribe was.. i yearned for a circle of women that I could sit in circle with, sharing our stories and wisdom. getting clarification and kind advice in a nurturing way. where women could speak their truth, without being attacked or told what we should do. a place where our stories were witnessed and we were able to discover our own truth, not that of someone else..
this blog, is a place where i can safely put down my thoughts.. whether it be from a meditation, a walk, my journalling or art.. a place I can share my life *in my garden & my home
In 2011, I began to explore my cancer journey through art therapy. i had been having flashbacks and the inner sadness was getting stronger.. I felt so disconnected from all. and of course childhood trauma came up as it is all connected.. and I fell into sadness and melancholy. I will not say depression, because I was not depressed, just sad inside. lonely. very lonely within... I felt disconnected from self. from Spirit. from Mother Earth.
I travelled to Cornwall in December of 2012 and found myself on a healing, pilgrimage.. tracing my ancestral roots. I wrote every day while there. such a healing journey. I returned home in January 2013.. knowing that I had settled alot of my past lives and ancestral links.
late in 2013, I was diagnosed with PTSD - a legacy of too much grief over a lifetime, that had not been grieved and healed. It was tough at times. the depression, the panic and anxiety. But I began to cry, I began to grieve and I felt a lion roar within me. I am now learning to love and respect myself. to accept myself as I am. I stumble and fall, then I find myself a little stronger each time
here in my Sanctuary, I continue this journey.. a place of healing and embracing who I am.
this is my sacred space. a place where I share my world and my life, as I see it. through my art and journalling. meditations and walks. my pondering & my dreaming and through my gardening. a world that I see as joyful, magickal and full of promise.. a world that i create as I journey this Earth
About Me
- Miss Robyn
- here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.
