On Learning from Old Things & Rising Sea Temperatures
Ancient isn’t quite heavy, or slow, enough of a word.

On Mystery, Beauty & Writing in Dark Times
A Brief Reflection on Being Human in the Springtime
It is wet out this morning, but still I feel it is now done, over with, the land’s ritual of the spring run-off, the great gathering in and up of herself - water showing her excellent inclination to collectivity.
Dreaming Captain Nemo in a Warming Ocean
Sometimes I see great, grey rolling waves.
On the Devil & Glamour in the Age of Epstein
This morning: the sky bleached grey and anemic - no glorious sunrise to welcome the spring equinox.
On Raven, Reading the Signs & a New Age Coming
Maybe we can all feel it – the stars and planets, shifting and gliding.
Lynx & Hare: Beyond the Predator/Prey Worldview
The weather was too warm, snow sticky, melting - the March-like turbulence in the dead of winter, the slate sky, it felt all hunched up, waiting for something troubling to occur.
On Lynx & Navigating the Rough Start to 2026
I’ve seen her now a few times – carefully edging along the length of the car, those elfin ears keen, taking in the warning chatter of the red squirrels.
Christmas Wishes
Scraps of the sacred, offerings of lichen, are shaken loose from the trees.
On Sturgeons, Medieval Climate & Hope
I missed the Sturgeon Moon this past August.
On Wolves, Right-Wing Fanboys & John Berger
Strange powers this creature has – making us want to run with them, dance with them, kill them, exterminate them even.
On Winter Hags & Climate Change
They come with the gloom.
On Charisma, Megafauna & Climate Change
Oh, on a morning like this – this winter wanderland, Christmas card worthy.
A Brief Morning Reflection
As if conjured – maybe even a summoning.
On Samhain, Vigilance & the Fomorians
The dark half – we’re into it now.
On the silver rush & an excerpt from The Haunting of Modesto O'Brien
I am heading to gold mining country this weekend - to Timmins, ON - to talk about the haunted mining landscapes of the north and other hauntings.
A short excerpt from The Haunting of Modesto O'Brien
“Known for her evocative portrayals of northern life and the environment, Brit Griffin brings depth and atmosphere to every page.
On Foxes, Hammers, Darwin & Evolution
The first time I saw her - a small red fox - it was only a fleeting glimpse, saw her leap up, pause, and then just through sheer grace, make the grey rock into a geological grotto, a holy place.
Moon/dreaming, Goddesses & Extraction
This past weekend, celebrating Thanksgiving out by the bonfire, the sun retreating, leaving behind those darkening blues as it went - and yes, the Tragically Hip were right, the constellations do “reveal themselves one star at a time”. But as lovely as those stars were, I wasn’t waiting on Orion or the Big Dipper. I was waiting and watching for the moon.
An Excerpt from The Haunting of Modesto O'Brien
An eco-gothic tale from deep in the boreal forest... just in time for book gifting season!
