A day of practical and ceremonial magic,

found in Britain,
their plants, elements and symbols. With talks, elemental talisman making,
journeying, divination, also exploring the magical properties of the trees most
associated with Elen.

Mysteries since the 1970s, and has explored the mythic figure of Elen since the
early 80s, whom she named Elen of the Ways, and came to associate with the
reindeer. She published two monographs on Elen of the Ways in the mid-90s with
her colleague, the artist Chesca Potter. She was editor of Skoob Occult Review
and then The Occult Observer which she revived in the 1990s, and contributed an
article on Elen and other goddesses in the book The Aquarian Guide to Legendary
London. She is a Priestess in on the steering body of The Fellowship of Isis
and gives talks and talks regularly on Elen of the Ways in the USA, Germany
and Italy.

lodge in London.

than mixing potions with what she gathers and experimenting.
