The wheelbarrow was first used in the Temple of Eleusis in Ancient Greece, where the Eleusinian Mysteries were held by the cult of Demeter and Persephone, the Harvest myth upon which my novel The Serpent’s Tale is founded.

In this poem, it is the symbol of unity, of the alchemical Sacred Marriage between red and white, feminine and masculine, and of our relationship with Mother Nature and Her infinite cycle which mirrors the life-cycle of our Souls from birth to growth to decay, death and rebirth.

The reappearance of the sun after the rain reminds us that although the storm may bring turmoil to our lives, it also purifies us, rebirthing us out of the darkness into the light of hope, with the white chickens symbolising our loved ones seeking shelter with us from the storm.

I was inspired to begin my blog while following my horses around their field with a wheelbarrow. I have weathered many storms in my life, dragged heavy loads through muddy fields to return with my wheelbarrow cleansed by the rain and full of Harvest gifts to share with you.

It is my way of reaching out a feathered wing of friendship. May you be cleansed by the rain, renewed by the sun, and inspired by my words.
