As many of you know, I am currently writing on a new book, and this work has unfolded hand in hand with a horrible illness. It has been a journey marked by vulnerability, endurance, and deep inner transformation. Countless thoughts have passed through my mind; some dark and heavy, others luminous and sustaining. At times, fear has tightened its grip around my soul. Yet those who truly know me also know this: this warrior does not surrender.
I have been carried through this process by the finest support one could ask for, a global circle of magical friends whose presence, prayers, and workings have reached me across distance and time. Their strength reminded me of my own when it flickered. Their faith held me steady when my body and mind were tested.
In this book, I write honestly about that journey: about the shadows, the resistance, and the unexpected grace that arose through connection. What I share here is an excerpt from the new work, a passage dedicated to a brother whose presence, discipline, and integrity became part of my healing. It is written with respect, gratitude, and reverence.
I offer it to you as it was given to me - with an open heart
During my passage through illness, I was led to new allies whose powers revealed themselves not through spectacle, but through steadfast presence. William came to me bearing the current of the North “norðr”, the direction of endurance, where nothing blooms quickly, yet everything that survives endures. His magic carried the bones of Nordic and Icelandic traditions, a sorcery shaped by wind, stone, and silence rather than flame and command. It was the kind of magic that remembers rather than invents.
He worked for me quietly, without demand or display, performing rites rooted in old ways, forn siðr, where healing is not forced, but allowed to return when the body remembers how to listen. His workings aligned breath with bone, body with land. In him I sensed the patience of basalt cliffs, the resolve of lava fields that once burned and now hold steady. This was magic forged in landscapes where humans do not conquer nature, but survive by honouring it. In dreams, he entered my room not as an apparition, but as a brother of the path; real, grounded, and unmistakably present.
He offered me a drink, something cool, mineral, and anchoring as if drawn from a hidden spring beneath stone. He laid his hand upon my cheek with the gentleness of one who knows both fragility and strength. His voice was calm, certain, woven with wyrd and örlög, older than fear itself: “All will be well, sister, as stone and wind remember you.”
And my body believed him before my mind dared to. Something ancient stirred, minni, a remembering beyond thought. It was as if the land itself spoke through him, as if runes etched into cliffs and carried by storms had found a human tongue. The North had answered, not with promises, but with certainty. His work anchored me when I drifted. When pain tried to scatter me, his presence gathered me back into myself. He reminded me that true magic does not shout, does not beg the gods, does not rush the outcome. True magic stands. It waits. It remembers who you are until you can remember yourself. He is my brother, the bearer of the Northern current, brother of stone and wind.
His healing work reached me not as force, but as endurance. In moments when my body wavered and my spirit thinned, his magic stood fast. It did not demand belief; it carried it. Rooted in the old ways, forn siðr, shaped by land, silence, and patience, his workings reminded my body how to remember itself. Through him, the North spoke. Not in promises, but in certainty. In dreams and waking stillness alike, your presence steadied me. The strength he anchored did not fade with the night, it settled, endured, and continues to grow.
I feel it even now, as recovery unfolds and flesh regains its resolve. He did not attempt to remove my struggle. He helped me withstand it, and in doing so, he returned my own power to me. That is true healing. For his rites, his restraint, and his unwavering presence I give my heartful thanks. Stone and wind remember him, and through them, so do I.
I love you Brother
