Well the short story is I am me, mama to 3 boys wife to my hubster and after a long spiritual journey that has yet to end I found a spot on the net here. To share my stories and my ideas. To help people find their path to healing and wholeness.

The long short story starts here:
I am so many things its hard to choose where to start! I guess right now my biggest most important part of me is being a mother. We are blessed with 3 boys who we home educate. They get me up at dawn chorus every day and make sure I rarely see the moon in the summer months. They make me laugh and cry harder than I though possible and never have I loved any being more than I love my boys.
I am a wife to my amazing hubby who works rediculously hard so I can be home with the boys. I am a daughter sister and a friend.

We live in glorious Wiltshire on the edge of a (somewhat famous now) little town with fields on one side and houses on the other.  I have chickens in the garden and cats in the house. A tiny part of our kitchen has been cordened of and is my "studio". Its where the magic happens on paper, cloth, out of yarn or beautiful soft roving. For as long as I can remember I've been a maker it didn't really matter what the material was, as long as I could change it into a part of me.

Later in my childhood (I was 11 I think) My spiritual journey started, my yearning for wholeness and my expedition to finding it. It all started when my stepfather too me to a pshychic fair. I met a lady there who had a crystal stall. I was immediately drawn to a corner of it reached out and grabbed an amethyst shaped into a point, at one end there was a silver chain I assumed at first it was a necklace but upon closer inspection it had no claps and it was not long enough. I was a bit confused but bought it. The stallowner probably saw my confusion and gave me a leaflet on what a pendulum was and how to use it.  A couple of years after that we got a homecomputer and not too long after that internet! O my a whole world opened up before me! I read trough forums and websites and joined yahoo groups and email lists and started sucking information like a sponge sucks up water.

I met hubby when I was a few months short of 18 Within a few months I had moved to the UK to live with him in London. Now I grew up in a small town where people where either Roman Catholic or Roman Catholic, and whilst I had obviously had some exposure to other religions and spiritualities nothing quite prepared me for the freedom of London. In one day I met more people with different religions than I ever had in my nearly 18 years of life!
It was in london that my spiritual quest truly kicked of, that I was able to find the threads within relgions that sung to my heart and collect them slowly, painstakingly until I had enough to start weaving my own spirituality, my own religion.
Now I feel comfertable with this little blanket of mine, still not finished and I doubt it ever will be finished. Because I don't think it is possible for a human being to ever stop growing. I have no name for it and no need for a name for it.

Threads where taken from My childhood Roman Catholocism, Buddhism, paganism and its various branches. And many more threads from many people that I probably don't even remember!

So thats the long short version about me. All this has lead me to healing and becoming whole not just as and individual but as a family, a  comunity and ultimately as a species here on earth.

About the name "The Spiral And The Lotus"

Well the spiral symbolises a journey a path going inward and outward at the same time. Its a symbol for the goddess and for the feminine aspect in our lifes. The lotus is often associates with Buddhism and Lord Buddha's teachings. It Holds both seed and flower at the same time which is what makes it so unique. The lotus thrives in muddy dirty water, out of the dirt beauty rises.
Both these symbols hold such powerfull energies, combining them to become my "brand" felt just right
