Are you familiar with the concept of "Awen"? It's the idea of divine inspiration and drive to create.
This week, I have been struck by the Awen. Tune in to this weekend's video to see if my inspiration is as political as you might suspect... (Spoiler: the answer is "YES")
Welcome to the closest to an Easter Bonnet/Decorative Chicken Hat I will ever own. When possible, always wear a live chicken. If possible co-ordinate with your hair colour. Stayed tuned for more stylish witchy tips and tricks…
I'VE GOT MY VOICE BACK!
And to celebrate, I thought I'd finally get around to the Pratchett's Witches video I've been threatening for ages....

I have no voice and I must put up a video. (Bonus points for spotting the SF reference there). So this is a weird experiment of a video.... Tune in for terrible lip syncing and a bad Stephen Hawking impression...

Just finished the top tier Patreon Ostara Tarot reading, using The Alleyman's Tarot, which was a fascinating process. It really encourages and stimulates intuitive reading, and that was a good exercise! Check it out on Patreon if you are interested!

Granny Weatherwax approves of the fact that we Cronies just sent our FOURTH donation to ACLU. Go us!!!! Go you!!! Just in case you didn't realise, when you buy a hoodie or a mug from me, I put the money to one side and make a cumulative donation to ACLU in your names <3. Thankyou everyone!
It's the Blood Moon tonight! Which means the usual load of codswallop about evil spirits and so forth. So what IS the Blood Moon, and how can we, as witches, do stuff with it?

This week we've gone chaotic. Not chaos magic. Just... chaotic. I found a scammer. I had a play. It was MAD and oddly satisfying.

Today is "Get to Grips with Your Inbox Day" for me. There are well over a thousand emails in there. I'm scared.
But I have a fresh cup of tea, I've had my morning shower and now it's time to dive in. See you on the other side!
New vid up! I'm back to ranting incoherently again. I think the subject matter deserved it.
But ALSO: I've pressed the big red "GO" button on the shop. www.grumpyoldcrone.co.uk
Can't believe I finally got there!

New video up today, and if you are a Patreon member you will know why I am currently picking clay out of my fingernails and baking something in the airfryer ready for 8pm...

The moon at this time of year is so *bright* when it is clear. Last night was full moon, so tonight it is still incredibly bright. How bright? I took this photo just now - it has snowed a little. No filter. No flash. No long exposure. No night setting. Just point and click. It's 10:50pm.
First video of 2026 up and live! I'm looking at the differences between Tarot and Oracle Decks, and discussing my favourites. Also some New Year content :-)

Finally well enough to record the songs we'd planned! The first is up on Youtube, the second is on Patreon for... well... "reasons". Many, many reasons.
But here's this one! Merry season of choice!

And so, in the stillness of the night, with quiet words of worship and supplication, I make offerings and pledges to the Lady, the Great Queen, the Cailleach.
I have set my lights in my easternmost window to summon back the unconquerable light.
Blessed be.
I've had flu, and am only just over it. I rambled a bit, but I did get a video up! I'm not sure about the "backwards knees" bit, though... Sorry!

'Flu. I am not a happy bunny.
New video out! It's late here, and I'm really tired, but I did it! With only one JULBOLZ montage as well! Go me!

It was inevitable. First video of December. JÜL BÖLS!!!!! I mean, you'd be disappointed in me if I didn't, right?

Oh bleah. You're right. One of the best phrases I ever heard was, "When you use the word 'but' in a sentence, everything before "but" is to be ignored, because everything after it is what you mean. Hence: "I'm not racist, but...."
Hello Sherlock!
Yes, I have ABSOLUTELY read it! I own it in hardback because I knew it would be a frequent re-read <3. It's a joyous piece of writing.
I managed to record a video without a cat trying to lick the hair off my head! Go me!
This also features probably my most favourite Positive Bit ever, which is joyous, and oddly enough, from my local council's CCTV...

Worst thing about that word is how bloody useful it is!
Oh this is so pretty!
I think Kimber is missing his brother Jinks, who passed away last week. If he can't groom his brother, he's apparently going to groom me.
The top of my head is suspiciously clean and slightly damp now. Will be recording tomorrow. Hopefully without a cat on my head...
The votes are in, and Patrons voted for me to read "The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns & Fairies". The first 15 minute installment is up for listening now!
I think this is going to be a really good read, and I'm already referencing old ballads in my analysis...

I've forgotten to check messages here, and just found this. What font size works? I think this is a big gap in the market, maybe we should lobby Llewellyn....
New video up: classic digression started out as AI Slop commentary, and ended up as practical spell discussion. Still not quite sure how I managed that.....
