Welcome to
my Web site!
Seven Trees is
the name of my personal website, named after the seven sacred trees (out of
nine) which I am fortunate enough to have in my garden or near to my house.
It would have been eight, but I had to donate the oak tree to a friend who
had the space for it to grow.
I am Cendriya,
and have been a practising Pagan since the late 1980s, before realising that
if I needed to describe who I am, then that description is that I am a
Witch.
If you are
interested, have a look further down this page for the books I am reading at
the moment, mainly fiction because there is no harm in a bit of escapism.
I realised just recently (Ostara
2008), that I had not updated or reviewed my site in over a year. Hopefully,
you will find the few changes so far of interest. If you have any thoughts
on the content, send me some feedback, provided you can keep the comments
constructive.

Weather and the Phases of

These are some of the sites which I feel may be of
use to both newcomers to the craft and those with experience
|
As any UK Pagan will know, adverse weather can put a
real damper on ritual proceedings.

Books I am reading
at the moment
I have tried to make
these title 'hyperlinks' direct to Amazon.co.uk, so that it is easier
for you to find these books if you wish to read them yourself. Just
click on the title.
I've been reading a
fair amount of fiction at the moment, given that I am also reading a
fair amount of books on organic chemistry and pharmacology, as these are
relevant to my MSc. Being a
Witch is all about seeking balance, after all!

"Women of the Otherworld" series by Kelley Armstrong
 | Sometimes it can
be fun just trying a book (or in this case, the whole series) out,
when you have never heard of the author. I have always liked the
idea of 'kick-ass' heroines, but love the twist added by Ms
Armstrong. There is Elena, a 21st century werewolf. Smart, sassy,
and along with her PhD-qualified husband, described as the sort best
found in a beach-volleyball game. But her husband can be a pain, she
wanted to live a normal life before being bitten and is the sort of
person everyone would love as a friend. My personal favourite though
is Jaime, the forty-something necromancer, who falls in love with
the leader of the werewolf pack. Best summed up by her being
kidnapped again (it happens regularly). Paige, the witch, is
described as voluptuous (yea! a heroine with a weight problem) etc. |

"Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon
| What can I say,
hunky hero and a fascinating supposition that standing stones are a
gateway in time. The ultimate in 'what if' scenarios centred around
the time of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the aftermath of Culloden and the
events leading up to the American Revolution. |
