I made a video today.
I had every intention of talking on several issues, but found myself almost mute as I walked the woodland.
A strange kind of afternoon, for there seemed to be little birdsong too.
Silence appeared to be universal.
This often happens after Samhain…though I know not why.
For my part I’m inclined to go with the flow and whatever the Cosmos is channelling.
There appears to be a ramp-up to conflict towards war happening in the world of Man…deliberate and dark.
It grieves me.
The elements of abusive and hate-filled Patriarchy, that has fuelled fear, horror and utter chaos for over two thousand years, are eagerly moving towards one last onslaught.
There is so much hate it is almost possible to taste it on the air!
Politicians and religious leaders are doing their utmost to hold back the tide of change, issuing decrees and telling falsehoods to keep humankind from evolving…yes, evolving…for we have been revolving for millennia!
You are reading these words and looking at the images of Bealtaine and feeling confused…
Yet this is the true reality…this is the Great Mother rising!
Her energy is so strong that it manifests reality wherever She finds a portal.
And a portal She has found here for sure!
This is love and joy from the Great Creatrix!
Remember her imprisonment in the matrix of monoculture…like prison, grey, bland and impoverished?
There was no killing, just planting and nurturing the Great Mother back to health…something so utterly alien to political and religious leaders!
Force and diktats being their order of the day!
My tolerance for these people of chaos and destruction is now zero.
I cannot and will not tolerate their verbiage!
In the continuing attempt at paying my way I have opened a Cottage Gift Shop…

In the Bealtaine Project tradition of putting it out there for free, I’ve made another video (No Ads!)
Blessings and more power to you XXX Colette
I keep myself occupied in the world as I know it…the one where I weave wreathes from Willow and Dogwood…
The one where cruelty and chaos are not allowed entry!
You’ll understand my terror, for that’s why you’re here…to touch base with reality! 
Yes, this is reality…as it was meant to be and in the world most inhabit, is not! 
I have always chosen this reality, both as a child living in poverty and as a mother creating sanctuary for her children in London. 
I have always sought out Mother Earth, wherever she was hidden from view by retail parks and shopping centres, housing estates and suburbia. 
I chose this reality. 
I planted it, brought it forward, share it and allow it’s force to move out in waves of healing and peace.
We all choose our own realities and what we allow carelessly in or strive to keep out! 
The Lughnasadh Garden is another reality being birthed at Bealtaine. 
Just as wanton destruction is being justified all over this Sacred Earth, the need for creation is more necessary than ever in the history of what we laughingly refer to as “civilisation!”
Regardless of party/gender/colour or creed, politicians take us to war and care nothing for the protection of Mother Earth…and that in my view is unforgivable! 
As I approach my birthday and my 61st year, I am becoming convinced more and more of the need to keep one’s head down and continue to nurture and care for Mother Earth. 
It’s all I care to do, for there is much destruction and violence all around that has reached a point of insanity! 
I don’t know where to go from here, except to keep doing as I do and keep this website going…where, I do not know! 
I have seen it too! 
It is a Universal force of such incredible energy that at times, I feel overwhelmed by it. 
This force has made governments tremble and grown men cry. 
It is unstoppable, all-consuming and, at times, can appear very frightening indeed. 
Mankind has tried to tame it, harness it, even destroy it. 
All to no avail. 
She abides… Have you heard her call? 
Are you listening? 
Her name is Earth. 
She is our Mother, our home, our future. 
Humankind’s greatest priority is to reintegrate with the natural world. ~ Jonathon Porritt 
If we are to use our tools in the service of fitting in on Earth, our basic relationship to nature–even the story we tell ourselves about who we are in the universe–has to change. ~ Janine M. Benyus
Our little Spaceship Earth is only eight thousand miles in diameter, which is almost a negligible dimension in the great vastness of space. ~ R. Buckminster Fuller
The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction. ~ Rachel Carson
The world of life, of spontaneity, the world of dawn and sunset and starlight, the world of soil and sunshine, of meadow and woodland, of hickory and oak and maple and hemlock and pineland forests, of wildlife dwelling around us, of the river and its wellbeing–all of this [is] the integral community in which we live. ~ Thomas Berry
We can do nothing and keep revolving, remaining perfect fodder for governments, corporations and empires, or…
we can connect with Her and begin to evolve into what we are meant to be…part of Her.
