1. Create a candle labyrinth.
Despite this being on my list for several years running, I didn't find the time or opportunity to do this in 2019. Maybe one year...
2. Completing and passing my MA course in Literary London.
This was the biggy - and I passed with merit. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was hard work, and probably one of the reasons I didn't find time to do the first resolution on my list. The picture above right shows the Painted Ceiling in Greenwich, at the Old Royal Naval College, which also houses Greenwich University, where I studied.
3. Visit some new London places connected with paganism, magic or witchcraft.
4. Visit at least one big pagan event in or near London.
In May I went to Pagan Pride London, in June I attended the Magickal Women Conference, in October I went to the Mind Body Soul Experience and in November I went to the Haunted Landscape, Nameless Arte and Witchfest International. The picture at the top show the Pagan Pride parade through the streets of London.
5. Blog about exhibitions in London that includes items relating to magic or witchcraft.
The British Museum's Assyria exhibition included a display of tablets relating to magic, the Underdog Gallery had pictures inspired by tarot, the Horniman had items relating to folklore and magic in Lore of the Land and I also went to Smoke and Mirrors at the Wellcome Collection
6. Do a psychogeography walk in London and blog about it.

10. Declutter my witch room.
I've made a start on this, although I haven't blogged about it before now. I sold a few things that were worth selling, filled a box with other items I didn't need and gave them away to friends, then went through a pile of papers and put a lot into the recycling. More decluttering needs doing, but it is a start. I'd say that's half a success.
I reckon that means I achieved 8 out of 10, which is the same number as the previous year. Now I need to work on my list of resolutions for 2020...
