Calling Back the Maidens of the Well.
In our current paradigm water is treated poorly, toxically, without respect, bottled in plastic, calcified; our sacred wells destroyed and dried up, our rivers and seas a dumping ground for industrial waste.

Imagine a world where, not only young men but all of us are supported, held, encouraged and accepted as we walk our path of individuation, toward the selves that we are here to be, and not bound to systems that not only do not care for our souls on this level, but appear to actively participate in eroding them.
In this world we would naturally find our place in the world and not feel like an isolated cog in a machine that some have more difficulty navigating than others.

As the story of Jane Doe spreads like wildfire across social media platforms, and women step forward to tell their own stories, what calls me are the stagnant waters, and what lies beneath these social outpourings that we periodically experience. I am asking the question: What is operating at a deeper collective level of consciousness to elicit these dark experiences, and how do we heal while retaining our humanity.

During both eclipse seasons in 2026, there has been a prominent and powerful relationship between asteroid Vesta, Chiron, and Mars (see details of alignments at

We journey for 40 days and 40 nights through the desert of our soul looking for droplets of moisture or signs of new plant life. This is when we may realise that the verdant abundance we thought we already had was nothing more than a mirage.

There’s a strong Lilith presence this new moon, in fact she seems to be everywhere all at once. Like hot plasma she comes through interstellar tunnels direct from the Galactic Centre with an impressive planetary entourage. Originally an ancient wind demon of the night, Lilith dances in a grand fire trine this new moon with Vesta at 26 ° Aries; Vesta has been partnering with Chiron for much of the year and continues to do so even while Chiron has shifted into Taurus. On the other vertex of the trine sits the lunar south node at 28 ° Leo.

Many of the pioneers of feminism like Gloria Steinem were celebrated as empowering women and advancing their position in a patriarchal system, but the reality has a far darker underbelly where good intentions and reasonable desires were subverted and used as tools of control. These agendas do not spring out of isolation as independent entities but are part of a far greater, longer running strategy. Sudden or unexplained social trends such as thousands of girls suddenly becoming so disturbed in their own bodies that they opt for gender reassignment, do not arise out of nowhere but are a reaction to external forces steering these covert agendas.

It was Laing’s radical work with the schizophrenic women of Glasgow that first piqued my interest. My own grandmother, a working- class widow in the 1950s, raising a child (my mother) in poverty, with a heavy burden of inherited trauma (her own mother had died giving birth to her), was diagnosed with schizophrenia. From a young age (about 11), I felt a strong pull and a deep calling to investigate my grandmother’s life, the conditions of her life, and the culture in which she was living. This has profoundly shaped me and influenced my work. I am still on this journey today.

Chiron shows us the wound through which our healing power is born; Vesta brings through the light so that we can transmit our gifts into the world as divine service and not unconscious sacrifice.

I don’t feel this piece is a feminist’s polemic against Christianity. Rather it is a lamentation over modern culture’s demotion of the goddess in Her role of Creatrix and Mother; Her mysteries forgotten and subsumed into a religion in which She has been forced into a subordinate position.
