Concept cover for the foundational Liturgy of a planned community of the Goddess Hekate. Several years ago I worked with Hekate and experienced some powerful energies during rituals. In recent months I have felt a renewed sense of Her on my path. Once again my steps are locked to Hers. #occultsky

My simple offering to Hekate yesterday evening. #hekate #hecate #walpurgisnacht #beltane #goddess #occultsky #paganism #witchsky #pagansky #altar

The sun shining through the trees on a recent woodland walk. Spring has reached its height where it ascends into summer’s increasing warmth and light. Happy Beltane! 🔥 #trees #forest #beltane #pagansky #paganism #witchsky #occultsky #sunshine #germany #photography #nature

The Allfather’s shadow perhaps? Wandering like Wodan in the forest a couple of days ago. #nature #forest #pagan #pagansky #occultsky #germanicpagan #photography

Sunnas-Tag blessings! #pagan #pagansky #heathen #germanicpagan #goddess

Very interested to have received my DNA ethnicity estimate via MyHeritage. Born in England, I am the result of forebears all hailing from various regions of northern and central Europe as shown on this map. The 31% Scottish heritage was a surprise. #ancestry #ancestralroots #myroots #english #Europe

Getting creative with perspective at a nearby footbridge after some recent snowfall. #nature #photography #naturephotography #outdoors #germany #europe

Yesterday we saw the first snowdrops breaking through the earth and then this morning woke to a blanket of freshly fallen snow. A reminder that winter isn't done just yet. #winter #snow #weather #germany #spring #europe #coldweather #nature

The ash tree that stands at the edge of the garden captured yesterday evening in moody monochrome. #photography #nature #naturephotography #trees #monochrome #outdoors #germany #europe

The reaching vault of the forest yesterday, still bare of foliage but which in a few short weeks will be sprouting anew to create a verdant canopy. #trees #nature #naturephotography #spring #forest

Took a while for the lilies to open, but now with a little sunshine they are in all their glory. #flowers #sunshine #beauty #colour #floral #springiscoming

Wodan is the wanderer seeking wisdom, and he hung on Yggdrasil to realise his fate and the fate of all else. He is as much a part of the created order as are we, hence Ragnarök and Götterdammerung, the Twilight of the Gods. #pagan #paganism #germanicpagan #Odin

Three tree trunks and the wonderful patterns in their bark photographed on a walk this afternoon. The language of the Old Ways is written in a script beyond words, speaking eloquently of flourishing and dearth, and of all states as the measure of all else. #pagan #paganism #nature #photography

Ice coated leaves became an attractive subject for a quick photo earlier today. Temperatures hovering around zero Celsius here with clear blue skies and bright sunshine. #nature #naturephotography #winterphotography #outdoors #photography #winter #icy #cold #germany #europe

A spider's web embellished by Jack Frost spotted on a walk yesterday. All is connected, and the threads of reality weave together to create a beautiful whole if we but open our eyes and truly look. #nature #naturephotography #winter #outdoors #photography #reality #cold #beauty #photography #germany

The day is deliciously grey today, and a walk in the misty woods was definitely called for. Calm and quiet, with a sense of mystery within the trees. #photography #nature #naturephotography #woods #forest #trees #outdoors #germany #europe

Even an old stone drainage channel can look photogenic in the right settings. Discovered on a walk where the edge of the forest meets farmland. #nature #naturephotography #photography #outdoors #stone #trees #forest #autumn #germany #europe #countryside #kreiscoesfeldbleibtbunt

Part of the beautiful Burg Lüdinghausen yesterday, attended by lovely seasonal colours. #BurgLüdinghausen #Lüdinghausen #autumn #nature #naturephotography #photography #outdoors #germany #europe #history

A ground-level shot of a leaf-strewn cobbled pathway at Burg Lüdinghausen, with my wife and daughter in the middle background. #photography #outdoors #pathway #amateurphotography #germany #europe #trees #burg #Lüdinghausen #BurgLüdinghausen #autumn

My simple outdoor altar for the full moon this last Wednesday, honouring Wodan as leader of the Wild Hunt, guiding souls to rebirth. #pagan #heathensky #altar #spirituality #germanicpagan #heathen

A low ridge at the edge of the forest, carpeted with rich green moss which provides such a beautiful contrast with the prevailing autumnal colours. #nature #naturephotography #autumn #fallcolors #moss #trees #forest #outdoors #europe #germany #photography

At this time of year, sharing some thoughts on how autumn teaches us to lose the unnecessary baggage for our journey. #autumn #pagan #occultsky #heathensky #witchsky
