ELEN COUNTRY

Hedge Rider

I follow the old tracks, the deer trods and the half-forgotten roads that wander between worlds.

The older I get, the stranger and more companionable the Natural world becomes.

THE FOLK WHO MADE ME
A witch grandmother from the Isle of Mann
A Roma stepmother
A cyfarwydd father
Uncles who talked to animals, bees, raptors and snakes.


The land is my kith.
The critters are my Kin

Hollow Bone Farm is in the back of beyond
I share it with my mad-scientist partner, black witchy cat, and a host of wildlife.
Quantum with the Cornflakes has been my life.

Kellan Cat

My Familiar Spirit

Familiars choose us, we don’t choose them,
and we belong to them not t’other way round.
And where would I be without mine?
Up shit creek and not a paddle in sight!
I am so, so pleased she chose me.
Kellan always has my back,
I’d never think of working without her.
