A recent share to my youtube channel is this piece, performed at AUK's Frigg's Moot. The poem is Mothers Song, written in 1997, in alliterative verse, to celebrate our mother ancestors (of blood or adoption). #Heathen Subtitled. Video image is me with a live audience. youtu.be/PwLNgT7jkkE?...

Sōunnunga - Initiation... a piece from reflecting on themes of necessity, surrender, death, Initiation and rebirth that I have been feeling both on my personal path as it deepens and seeing reflected out in the world... Gabrielle x #witchsky #heathensky #pagansky #hedgewitch #animism #heathenart

Yep, gotta admit - I resent that the *reconstructed names of the younger fuþark are prevalent over the names of the Old English fuþorc. #HeathenSky

Too hard to support the two sides of myself, I soften some. An effort to be whole even; eyes take it all in. Thought throws it all around, thronging through. Fiercely. A simple rearrangement of rules, raw re-evaluation. See me at all angles, as I can't act all of me all at once. Math Jones 2026

Hollow underneath, this heart Doesn't understand why What pumps out full, comes back Depleted. The weariness of that returning, Such a long journey, Falls over at the threshold, To be carried to chambers. Beating for attention, this heart Wants infusion. Blood . Math Jones. 2026 #PoetrySky

Congrats to @denniswise.bsky.social for making the 2026 finalist list for the Mythopoeic Society's "Mythopoeic Scholarship Award for Myth and Fantasy Studies" for his book, "Speculative Poetry and the Modern Alliterative Revival: A Critical Anthology"! www.mythsoc.org/news/news-20...

Why do poetic poetry call-outs for submissions turn me away so? It feels like the editors have done all the work of poeting already, & I'm being asked to write on a flowery page, instead of a plain one. #PoetrySky

Muninn as 'memory' is an almost universally accepted translation. Even so... thinking on what 'memory' is, the scale can vary from 1s & 0s on a floppy disc to a moment of such significance that it guides a life ever after, & that last, amongst soooo many moments remembered & forgot. #HeathenSky 1/2

My shortest ever poem, which is also my shortest ever magical spell, poetry workshop, & grimoire. Step in. #PoetrySky

I like using the Merlin app to identify birdsong when walking in Gledhow Valley woods, which are ancient woodland, as this reading clearly shows.
