The winter witch teaches us it is okay to take a step back, to step away from the crowd, to hear the slow winter song of the quieting Earth.

Animism brings us back to ourselves. It reminds us we are connected to the land and to one another.

‘When frost rimes my window I cannot forget
you were there at my beginning
and will greet me again at the end.’

You will not see me slipping through the door
on the day the freezers break but you might see my face
on the otherside looking at you from another place
