The sensuality of April



April is a month of indulgence, of tactile pleasure and revelling in your own sensality.

This does not matter whether you are single, in a relationship, married or in a friends with benfits place. Being aware of your body and your physical needs is paramount just now. We enter into the phase of te year where the Goddess and God are carrying out the mating dance or courtship ritual. It is a time of personal beauty and becoming aware of what makes you feel good physically and emotionally.

Spending time with friends and loved ones is important, as touch (be it in the form of hugs/cuddles or something more intimate) is an essential part of life, especially just now. Physical contact is as necessary to humans as to any other animal. We need to feel loved and we are by nature a tactile species.

Surround yourself with things you enjoy the feel of - be it silk cushions, cotton sheets, fluffy slippers or whatever, revel in your sense of touch.

Getting your hands dirty can be another way to fill your senses - soil, baking, hand painting, anything where you are coating your hands in something you enjoy the feel of is of great benefit and can really boost your creative energies.

We are in the belly of Aries just now, so allow your creativity to be expressed. This is a great time to start artistic processes!

If you do have someone special in your life, now is the time to enjoy showing that person how you feel, what you like and learning what they like. This is, as mentioned earlier, less about sex and more about sensuality and being tactile. Becoming intimate with another person, preferrably someone who makes your heart sing!

If you are single, enjoy yourself! Learning what makes you feel incredibly feminine (or masculine), what pushes your buttons is as essential to an individual out of a relationship as it is to someone in one. There is nothing wrong with becoming intimate with ones self, in fact it is very healthy. Everyone needs phycail pleasure.

On that note, I have written a bit of asexy witchy/werewolfy book (not erocita, but sexy). It is available on kindle now, and paperback soon.

Give thanks and get tactile!








Giving thanks is not the first thing many pagans think of, except at the end of a ritual, thanking any beings that have been asked to attend.

At this time of year especially, when food is so abundant and the weather is (hopefully) half decent, it is a good time to give thanks. Thanks for the bounty, for the sunshine, for the fresh air and the people you love around you.

This is also a psychological benefit, especially for people who are suffering depression or are in a rut. thinking about what you have, rather than what you don't have can be uplifting and have a positive effect on the way you view yourself and life around you.

Whenever I am down because life has thrown me a whammy, I like to think that ok, this sucks, but at least I have...

The gods honour us in so many ways, it's nice to think about them and offer a small prayer or offering.

Something else that I love about this time of year is the abundance of food. Most pagans I know love their food. I am no exception and finger food is one of the most sensual, enjoyable ways to eat at this time of year. Summer is an especially good time, as we are less likely to be having soups/stews/casseroles, and more likely to be having salads/burgers/fajitas/hummus/strawberries etc. getting your hands on your food, especailly at a barbeque is a wonderful way of feeling closer to your food, to nature and adds a new dimension to the food itself.

My book is now available in paperback as well as Kindle. It is aimed at early teens as well as adults, so if you know anyone who might be interested, please pass the links on. Thank you and have a wonderful summer!

Description:
"The Old Ones wove the light of the world into that small stone, a part of the primordial fire from whence everything formed. That small stone has the power to end everything as we know it"

16 year old Charlie Larson leaves California for 6 weeks in the Scottish Highlands. Before long he is thrust into a new world of magic, myth and mystical beings where he is the only person who can rescue his kidnapped brother and save the human world!

Taken from Celtic/Scottish lore, this story weaves the modern world into the fabric of the Sidhe (fairy) world in rural Scotland.
