Elayne bines
Elayne is a close friend of mine and we share a love of megaliths and real magic. She trained at Glastonbury Goddess Temple and is a Priestess of Rhiannon and Cerridwen and is now offering Priestess of Kernow training and this in-depth course focuses on the magic of Cornwall and the many aspects of the Goddesses associated with the Wheel of the Year and the Land, Sea and Sky. I am now an ordained Priestess of Kernow and highly recommend this course. Visit her website Priestess of Kernow.co.uk for more details of her wonderful courses.
Sadly Elayne passed over to the Summerlands in 2024. Her memory will forever remain deeply embedded in many hearts and her Priestess of Kernow legacy will continue on helping more women connect deeply with the sacred lands of Kernow and the Goddesses of the Land, Sea and Sky.

Naomi Cormack
Naomi is a close friend of mine who lives in Devon. Her art is truly inspiring and each piece she completes emanates pure magic, her paintbrush is her wand! Naomi is the main illustrator of my book and she designed the front cover, I am now officially 'The Beltane Witch' in her latest series of paintings which are all amazing. Naomi has designed the Old Ways oracle which is now my favourite oracle, each card is so beautifully painted and really encompass the sacred magic of our Old Ways. You can view her artwork on her glorious website - nomeart.com, enjoy my lovelies you are in for a treat!
This painting was inspired by an eve under the Blood Moon at St Nectan's Glen. I invited a group of friends to join me at my watery temple in the woods to perform magic for my Cauldron of Changes spell and Naomi painted this in the weeks that followed. It is a depiction of me and my Cauldron and all the spirits that she felt were working with us on this magical eve. Naomi gifted me this painting and I truly treasure it, she is a remarkable artist.
