I dedicate this blog post to the woman who had a profound impact on my own musical journey, Máire Brennan, singer and harpist of the Irish band Clannad. She past away, way too young, on the 13th of April 2026. To honor her, I unpacked my harp that I hadn't touched in the last few months and began to play. Clannad were an Irish band founded in 1970 in Gweedore, County Donegal, Ireland. The band consisted of the siblings Ciarán, Pól and Máire as well as their twin uncles Noel and Pádraig Ó Dúgáin. I was born 20 years later and through my childhood one of my favourite songs was "Theme from Harry's Game". Through my dad I was brought up musically with the ability to explore different styles and genres. In my teens I got the DVD-box Robin of Sherwood and I watch it over again and again throughout the years. The music always held me in its grasp and it's especially in the last 10-12 years that I keep on rediscovering why the music continous to make large waves in my life. When the news of Má

The idea to start Siren Enchantments was something that came both sudden and yet was in the making for the longest time. Looking back I see that every experience led me up to this endeavour, every blessing and also every lesson and hardship. I think throughout our lives, especially when we embrace the freedom behind all the (in)securities we think we have, we learn to navigate both storms and calm seas to get closer to who we are. I don't think that growing into our own is always pretty. In fact, I think we often get to the point when we are at our lowest and it cannot get worse than that. I burned out before I decided to embrace Siren fully. I was going back and forth between trying to please employers who didn't give two cents about me and could replace me at a wim and diving head into the unknown, yet with taking full responsibility for myself. And what a fascinating way that was to discover more of who I am and what I'm capable of. And also realizing that faking til you make it doe

There's about a week left for March 2026, but it's a fact we're already nearing the end of this month. Several themes have been incredibly important this month, although it is through the reflection of today that I feel the bricks falling into place. Ever since I was young I have had this capability to kind of see the bigger picture, I act often on what I know is ahead of me. Which can be incredibly confusing sometimes, because I cannot always explain why. Most of our experiences that we live in a certain moment, especially the ones that are out of our ordinary daily routines, make an impact days, weeks or even months later. It's been almost 2 weeks since we left Scotland and although the journey was at part overshadowed by the everyday worries of my life as a mom and self employed artist, I do realise, that our trip there couldn't come at a better time. After Samhain and during the 12 Magical Nights (done from the Winter Solstice) in 2025, I made 2 whole-year spreads with a Plant Orac

Today is one of my no-salon days. And after having a stern and thorough talk with myself yesterday, with numbers to back it up, I realised that this time is such an immense treshold for me that no longer could be ignored. While I'm writing this, I spot this year's first butterfly. Butterflies are the perfect example of transformation, endurance, creativity and mystery. I realised that I need to change the way I treat Siren. The salon, the celebrations, the sojourns. They're all an intricate part of my being. Lately I started noticing that I haven't been treating the calling in daily life as I should and I got more and more signs - that didn't involve cards by the way :-P - that I wasn't in alignment with the values and strengths I started with one year ago. At first I wanted to meet society half way, offering lots of different things at cheap prices. But when half of your income goes to the state, working at really low prices is gonna do more harm than good. This is not why I have year

I've tried to travel to Scotland 3 times in my life, but apparently it had to be attempted a 4th time to actually go through. For the first time in quite a long time I was able to enjoy a holiday that wasn't filled with either being an artist or working after all. With that I could celebrate the birthdays of my husband and I while visiting the past of a country that has been on my list for a looooong time. With earlier attempts of me trying to travel to Scotland alone, something always happened. One journey I had to cancel because of really bad weather and two others had to be cancelled due to holiday time being cancelled by a workplace in very sudden need of me being present. So I had actually kind of given up on me ever traveling to Scotland in this lifetime to be honest, it was too much connected to having to cancel. This year however, I felt that we could allow ourselves for a bit of a journey. Fredrik and I haven't had a holiday ever since we got together and I do not count travel

I can look back on a really calm start of the year, where winter has ever so been a strong presence here in the North. I've also felt the recurring themes of integrity, counting my own blessings and staying present being very actively engaged with this month. I live in the countryside, it tends to be more quiet here. Working mostly in big cities, most of my life - I got accustomed to the rushing and pushing of places filled to the brim with people. I've been in leading positions, I've been assisting, I've fallen and hit my face, I made differences. But the quiet of the countryside is nothing I experienced before. Even moving here, in the beginning, I would travel to Hamar and work at a shopping centre. And albeit so much more quiet than Oslo or Amsterdam, it was still not enough to cause real change in the way I wish to work my own business. I needed quiet, I needed to steer by myself, I needed to be able to hear my own thoughts, breathe in and out instead of holding it in with tighten
