Our house came complete with a coordinating delapidated bird house in the garden. One day, feeling particularly sorry for our house with it’s crumbling plaster and elusive damp problem, I decided to renovate the bird house and turn it onto a Spirit House . Sort of a symbol of our dedication to sort the house out, and maybe to get the local spirits on side.
As it turned out, the the bird house was rotten through too - totally unsalvageable. A symbol of the last owner’s dedication to the house, ironically enough.
Undeterred, I went to the local DIY store, bought myself some wood and a saw, and set to work. A month on, and it’s finally up! The window at the top holds a large star-cut peice of quartz, which is held in place with silver wire bound to look like a tree. I even tiled the floor, overkill or what?!
Gander and I saw a lot of spirit houses when we travelled Cambodia; all shapes, all sizes. People would erect one near the doo...

A hoard of seagulls came and bullied it. They cawed and swooped and tried to peck it, but it didnt budge. It didnt seem bothered at all.
Herons have popped up in my life every so often for a while, now. In dreams, in passing… Maybe it’s time I stopped to think about it.

Earlier this week I astral projected through the night for the first time in months. I blame it on the near-state of exhaustion I’ve worked myself into over the past fortnight.
Either way, what was interesting to me was that I couldn’t leave my bedroom. The warding I put in place a year or so ago is evidently still very strong, because it was like trying to walk through sand - it “stung”, and although it ‘gave’ a certain amount I couldn’t get throu...
