Northern Poet
I am a wandering poet from the rugged lands of Britain. For many a moon I have wandered the ancient sites scattered across the globe. Seeking the wisdom and magic hidden within our long lost pagan cultures.But it wasn't until I returned to the misty isles that I was truly able to stand in my purpose. For it was here that I remembered that nothing is ever truly lost and with dedication, belief and presence all that has been forgotten remains. I have heard the songs whispered in the whirling winds.
I have bathed in the healing waters of the icy mountain springs.
I have danced in the underworld with the medicine of this land.
And with your time and presence even if only for a moment I invite you to dance on this journey of remembering with me.
