Waiting, still waiting, for the snow.
Waiting for the snow, Gordon MacLellan
As the nights are drawing in and our thoughts turn to the lingering darkness and a need for something to keep us busy other than sitting knitting socks for sheep, and there are gifts to pursue for Christmas, Midwinter, Yule and All, Creeping Toad would like to offer a few extra treats for you, for a loved one or maybe for someone whose complacency you would simply like to disturb….

There are cracks in the pavement
Where the bears live,
Feeding on the careless words we drop
Between one step and the next.
Whisper along the Wind: or you can listen and be drawn into stillness by the beautiful music of Gifts from Crows and words from myself: Orchards are here and the dark night of Vigil and the sharp Beaks of Raven

Hide a witch,
Inside a house,
Inside a wood,
Inside a beck,
Inside a bog,
Inside a crag,
Inside a world,
Inside a doll.
