Summer Solstice 2017

Posted on 09/06/2017 by admin

Hello all,

As promised a quick mail now we are approaching the summer solstice, which for me is a very important time. It’s my new year (Wep Ron Pet), though many Kemetics mark this one first week of August I tend towards the Old Kingdom period which places it at the summer solstice. Anyway, whatever and however you mark this festival, enjoy!

Update time then, my events as usual are at:

https://www.kiyaheike.me.uk/events-board/

My next Pure Magik 15th June and will be on basic ritual and spell practice.

Next Dover is tomorrow on the 10th June at the Red Lion. This and the rest of the dates can be found on the Facebook group:

I did do a YouTube version of my talk at the Staffordshire Pagan Conf (which next year becomes Witchfest Midlands!).

Will be adding a few more soon so subscribe and be notified of any updates.

There will be a summer solstice ceremony on the beach as usual as part of the Folkestone group on 17th June..

Have a blessed and wonderful run up to the summer solstice.

Late May 2017

Posted on 25/05/2017 by admin

Hello All,

May is nearly over and its been a busy one which is why I’ve possibly not been bugging anyone too much.

Beltane was different for me this year. Normally I try and stay local but instead the random invite for a festival the other end of the country was too much to turn down. It was OK, windy, but not bad. Something to try again sometime.

The open Beltane ceremony at the Shakra Centre back on the 6th was amazing and if any of you came along then thank you. We had a larger group than the Samhain open of around 15-20 and this time the pagan content was almost everyone.

The extra icing on the cake was that for many of these pagans who came, it was their first attendance at a public ceremony. More and more are taking their first steps out into the wider world.

If you have yet to do so and want to then please talk to me.

There was also other changes, more of which to be announced in due course.

Time then for an update. My events are:

My next Pure Magik 15th June and will be on basic ritual and spell practice.

Next Dover is on the 10th June at the Red Lion. This and the rest of the dates can be found on the Facebook group:

YouTube too continues to fill up and I’m planning a few short clips so stay tuned.

Samhain 2016

Posted on 31/10/2016 by admin

It has certainly been a strange year apart from the tragic deaths of a couple of friends. My own path has been through the wrangler and in a way has contributed to the talk I will be giving at Witchfest 2016 next month on the highs and lows of Kemetic reconstructionism.

Being a time of change, remembrance and general focus on one’s craft, all of which as a Kemetic I’m not really that attached to, however I still recognise the value in this. In fact throughout my many years I’ve always found a closeness to my goddess at this time and had attached the ‘thinning of the veil’ to that feeling. As it turns out I have been wrong all these years and this time stands in the middle of a two possible dates to festivals to my goddess that I was unaware of. Intuition can be valuable even if we have no idea why.

Other such path shattering discoveries have surfaced and I will take the opportunity to regroup and move forward with reawakened energy and focus, feeling that this time of year is now extra special to me as never before.

However you mark this time of year have a good one and learn from it.

Witchfest 2015 Sigil Magic – Second Life Version

Posted on 15/11/2015 by admin

Attached is the session I recorded in Second Life of my talk on Sigil Magic written for Witchfest 2015 in Croydon. This was recorded the day after the real one and more or less is similar but with the removal of a topic that could out of context due to its content. This is explained in this recording and what you can do about finding out about that.
