In Welsh mythology, she is a goddess made from and representative of the
Earth in full bloom; her name means “the appearance of flowers” and is
further associated with owls, transformation, & adaptability. Appropriately, this piece was conceived in the first week of Spring as our grounds bear change, revived. As is typical for me at this time of year, I sense that I am (to some extent) similarly resuscitated. I gladly celebrate this season!

“Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting, Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.”
- Shakespeare’s MACBETH
“The witching hour, somebody had once whispered to her, was a special moment in the middle of the night when every child and every grown-up was in a deep deep sleep, and all the dark things came out from hiding and had the world all to themselves.”
- Roald Dahl, THE BFG
