As my screen name suggests, I have an affinity with dogs, also their wild cousins, wolves.
My first really powerful magickal experience was during a Reiki session, I’d just drunk the obligatory glass of water after the actual session, and was lying with my eyes closed. Suddenly I felt a thundering great big paw in my hand - far too big to be the Reiki Master’s little Westie, Blossom, and I sort of felt something saying to me: “Finally, I have your attention!” That was my Wolf companion and protector; ever since then, she does her level best to keep me safe and out of trouble.
Fast-forward three decades to now - I’m a disabled widow, and since my beloved husband went on ahead of me, I live alone.
I happened upon the Pagan Grimoire by chance, and thought it looks like a friendly place, I’ll sign up, because it must’ve been brought to my attention for a reason.
I work as a dog minder, offering dogs a holiday staying with me in my bungalow while their humans go away for their own holidays, or for any other reason they need their best friends looked after for a while. Well, I say “work”, but it’s not really work, it’s a pleasure and a privilege to have my Canine friends th stay with me.
