Dear Community, I am deeply honoured to be embodying our Cailleach this year and very excited to see our fire festival take shape.

In the next few days the Kings’ nominations window will close and the heads of our Summer and Winter courts will make themselves known. Together, I hope we can build a story that honours our respective connections with the unseen, and speaks to our personal contexts while also holding up a light to the modern world. If you’ve been mulling over an idea that just won’t leave your mind, it may be a sign that it needs to be shared and that this could be the right year for you to step forward.

The deadline to nominate someone for our Summer and Winter King (including self-nominations) is Friday the 4th of August. Click here for more information.
