Our Queen Elizabeth joins the beloved ancestors, but how can we heal transgenerational legacy burdens from our history?

September 9, 2022 By Katie Gerrard

Queen Elizabeth died yesterday. It’s not over dramatic to say that a great ancestor has been created this very week. But how do we recognise the glory of our Queen whilst acknowledging the harm the British empire, with its figurehead of the ‘silent’ monarchy has done to many over the centuries? In one of those strange coincidences of life, I’ve spent this month studying Transgenerational Trauma and inherited legacies of pain. What happened to our ancestors, both genetic and cultural,...

Awakening the Seer inside of me: Teaching seidr for the first time since 2014

August 24, 2022 By Katie Gerrard

The last time I taught an intensive seidr course was in 2014. I found a community centre in North London and offered a limited number of spaces (I think it was ten). Apologising for the small number available, I made the promise of another opportunity soon for those who missed out. Eight years and a pandemic later and I’m finally making good on that promise! The addition of Zoom to the internet has really helped my ability to do this.... Read more

Hypnotherapy: Building a life I don’t have to retire from

August 5, 2022 By Katie Gerrard

I’m a hypnotherapist. It’s very much like being a witch, except I have a fully accredited diploma and get to be registered with lots of membership associations. I’m also advised not to fill the practise room with incense. But it is like being a witch because I help people use their minds to meet their goals. This involves holding space, writing scripts, using my listening skills to understand what my clients need, and my intuition to ensure I facilitate their... Read more

Learning to love your body – unconditionally.

March 30, 2022 By Katie Gerrard

What is Unconditional Body Acceptance and why is it so liberating? Unconditional body acceptance for many people is moving away from a lifetime of social conditioning. It turns its head on the subconscious beliefs we might have held for the entirety of our lives in terms of what ‘good’ bodies ‘should’ look and behave like. And it feels awesome. But unconditional body acceptance is not loving your body anyway, despite thinking it’s imperfect. It isn’t setting out to change your... Read more

Career Laundry: Why the lockdowns are helping me build a life I don’t need to retire from

February 28, 2022 By Katie Gerrard

My career was always something that just was, it was never really a part of my identity and in many ways I often didn’t really think too much about why I chose that path. But the lockdowns over the last few years forced me to really look at it for the first time ever, and ask “is this really a life which I can thrive within?” It’s not as though I’d stayed in the same job for a decade, I...

Why “Sending Energy” Or Praying Isn’t Always Best (And What Else You Can Do Instead)

July 26, 2021 By Katie Gerrard

Do you send energy or healing to people you know are in need? Or do you pray for them? If you do you’re probably wondering what in the world I could have against such a loving and pure intentioned act. After all, wishing love or sending strength couldn’t possibly be problematic or make things worse? Could it? In some instances, however, it might not be the right thing to do. Let’s draw a distinction between requested and unsolicited energy sending... Read more

Beasts and Beats – A Conversation With Magical Drum Artist Laura Daligan

July 22, 2021 By Katie Gerrard

You may recognise Laura’s distinctive artwork style from the covers of my books, Laura is a renowned illustrator and psychic. Today however, I sat down with Laura to talk about her work as a drum artist. Laura’s drums have an otherworldly quality to them, they seem to almost be alive. I wanted to find out what goes into their creation. As a long-time practitioner of paganism and witchcraft, Laura trained in shamanic journeying. As part of this training she learnt... Read more

Celebrating The Strawberry Moon – And It’s Been A Long Time Coming This Year!

June 10, 2021 By Katie Gerrard

In this blog post I talked about how I was going to celebrate the seasons differently this year. In many ways this ended up being the perfect year to experiment, what with public gatherings still not being quite back and the weather being also not quite as expected. I decided to celebrate the Strawberry moon with the harvest of the strawberries and peas. Usually that would be the middle of May, on a good year it might be earlier even.... Read more
