MYSteries of the dark

"I am Priestess of the Mysteries of the Dark:

I walk with you into and through your shadow lands offering you a cloak of protection for the journey

I retrieve your blazing heart from the entombment of despair, pain and shame

I am Holy hell raiser

I am the one who watches and waits whilst you put on the armour of procrastination, bypassing, denial, gossip, projection, gossip, competition, neglect, and criticism until you realise it's too heavy to wear

I am protector of your maiden, mentor of your mother, fuel of your lover and trainer of your huntress

I am hermit and oracle, lone wolf, and guide of the pack

I am receiver and transmitter, reflective and invisible

I have no interest in small talk. I am she who sees. I am she who places the mirror in front of you until you see your truth and power. And own them. Fully. And embody them. Fully.

I am Mistress of the Goddess. The embodied expression of the gift of new beginnings through living death."



👆 This piece—Mysteries of the Dark—one of my attempts at creative writing, authored in 2021, remains one of the truest expressions of my inner world and its depths.



When it made it into the @girlgodbooks Warrior Queen Morrigan Anthology in 2021, the feeling of being able to share it publicly in a printed global publication was simultaneously exhilarating and connecting and terrifying and exposing.

Being part of a creative community, with so many other women from all over the world, exploring & sharing our inner worlds, outwardly, is incredibly nourishing, empowering & gives perspective & a sense of commonality in struggle & resistance.

May we remember the power of collective storytelling & art in all its forms.



May we find (& if there are none, create) spaces for this.
