Welcome to the Welsh Witch’s Cottage, my little glen in the big woods. Feel free to grab a cuppa and have a look around.


My blog, Because I Said So, can be found in the Scriptorium. While I would like to blog everyday, it is not always practical. Therefore, I am a proud member of the ‘Blogging Without Obligation’ campaign. If you like what you read, feel free to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates.


The Library holds a complete list of books I read and review while embarking on my wonderful journey into the great books. There is, of course, an awful lot of brain candy there as well. Books are my passion. Why not recommend some interesting books you have read lately? Don’t forget to check out The Stacks for past reviews.


The Studio is my baby. It is home base for my latest creative endeavor into photography. It is a work in progress as I learn and grow in my new art. I’m open to, and welcome, gently but constructive criticism.


In short, Summerland is similar to what Christians call Heaven. This page is my tribute to those I have loved and lost.


While you may, on occasion, find a yummy Sabbath recipe or a rant on the failure or success of a spell or ritual in the scriptorium, what you will NOT find on this site, is a full blown Book of Shadows. I believe that while religion is a wonder and stimulating topic of conversation, it’s practice is a very personal thing and one that, for the most part, I keep to myself. If you are looking for info on the pagan religion, please visit Witchvox.


My hope is that as time allows and my interests grow, so will this website. For example, stay tuned for “The Homestead Academy”, where I hope to document my family’s journey as we plan and prepare to buy land and  create a self sustaining (and simpler) lifestyle.


I hope you enjoy your stay and come back often to visit. Please take a moment to drop me a line and let me know what you think of the site or offer up any suggestions for improvement. Let me know what you would like to see here. You can send me an email by clicking on Email Me on the About Me page, or send an email to Cymraeg_Ddewines@mac.com. I look forward to hearing from all of you.


Namaste,
