Who am I?

My name is Charlie. I have been an Animist since some of my first memories as a child.

A am a believer in magic. There is magic in nature, the cycles and the seasons. The Sun and the Moon. The rhythms of the earth. There is magic in every day. The magic is there for us to all feel and see. We just need to re-member how. But, it is in our bones.

I love the natural world, wildlife, the wind and the rivers. I have a very special love for Trees.

We are part of the web of life, part of nature and the Earth’s Rhythms. We are not superior nor separate.

My soul sings when my feet are out on the land and when I drum. I am most in my magic then.

I have worked in Ecology for over 16 years and spending such a great deal of my time out in the natural world, I have been able to appreciate the beautiful relationship the more-than-human world has with all beings.

When we live a life in conversation with the more-than-human world, we see the magic which is all around us, which we are part of. When we share stories with each other of our encounters with this magic, the land sings.

Both story threads and Animist threads run through me, right to my core. My offerings are nature and land connection, tracking, divination, animism, sharing magic and our creativity.

Animate Earth Collective courses completed: Year Long Contemporary Animism online apprenticeship, subsequent Year Long online Contemporary Animism - Deep Dive, Feather ,Fire ,Stone ,Bone - year long apprenticeship. Cultivating the Diviner - apprenticeship.

Trees are such a love of mine and as such I have completed Kara Moses’ Soulful Connection with Trees, Understanding Bird Language and also her Wildlife Tracking for Change, she has a wealth of knowledge and is an incredible mentor, who I have also spent time on a 1:1 basis with, tracking wildlife.

I hope this explains a little more about who I am. Sending much love, always with a hound at my heals!
