Hello there! It's been a few days since my last post - my apologies that I missed my usual Monday opener post for the week. This, as well as , are the two posts I try to make sure I do every week without fail. But sometimes there is fail.

There's been a big shift at VOLVA HQ, bringing positive changes, but everything is now different. Some things have to go to make room for other things. I'll be sharing a bit more about this in the Summer Solstice newsletter in a few days.

Here's one of my Alliums bursting forth.

A wee night time herbal beverage from the medicine garden (naturally) before turning in. Night night.

'But once in a while the odd thing happens,
Once in a while the dream comes true,
And the whole pattern of life is altered,
Once in a while the moon turns blue.'

―W.H. Auden

Once in a Blue while, Hare forgot she couldn't fly,

filling her dreams with picture of satin skies.


Once in a Blue Moon, enchantment echoed around;

a reminder of dreams waiting to be found.


Once in a Blue Moon, she would know.

She'd remember that within her magic could grow.'*
