About the Hagetisse
Since 2020, I have been writing my online content mainly for my wise woman website. I do this under the name Hagetisse, which is actually not so much a name but a job description.
The articles and blogs that you’ll find on this website largely overlap with the topics on the website you are currently on, but not completely. None of the articles are on both websites.
So do you want to read more of my work and are you interested in holistic medicine, herbalism and magic? Then be sure to take a look around over there.

The Hagetisse’s Herbal Grimoire in Happinez Magazine
It's absolutely brilliant if someone tells you they like your book, but if an enthusiastic review appears in one of your own favourite magazines, that is, of course, a HUGE compliment! You can therefore imagine that my cheeks glowed quite a bit when I saw The...
‘In the corona crisis, public opinion has been hijacked by absurd judgments’
Over the last months I have regularly been baffled by what I saw happening around me. As more and more data became available, it also became clear that the coronavirus wasn't as dangerous as we first feared. It certainly didn't warrant the tremendous damage the corona...
Matthäus-Passion Twenty Eighteen
Sometimes prose just doesn't suffice. Sometimes you need poetry to wrap your head around the world. Last weekend something happened that required poetry badly. Here's a poem for a poet. And the son sat in the mother’s lap ‘I am so tired’ he said ‘I can’t go on.’ ‘I...
Turtle World, a story by Emma Storris, inspired by a painting by Kuze
Today is the first day of K-Fest 2018 in Killorglin, Ireland. For anyone who happens to be in the neighbourhood, I'd pop by if I were you. It is a colourful gathering of creative people showing the world - well, at least part of it - what they have been doing artwise....
The Story of Roundy Fatmouse – The Early Years
I never asked her, but I can imagine that Maria had plenty of moments when she wished she'd never promised my mother to take care of me. I wouldn't blame her. For these first months with me must have been horrendous. I cried incessantly and, although I was – and still...
The Story of Roundy Fatmouse – How I Came to Be
The story of my birth is a rather sad one, so I'm only going to tell it to you once. My mother was a bright blue ball of wool. She was a formidable lady who was completely selfless. A rather rare find in this day and age, I would say. She was always willing to help...

Hello!
I am Emma
Air monger, versatile author, dream creator, earth warrior writer and roots healer (not necessarily in this order). Some of these titles might not ring bells right away. So I will also describe myself in (rather more boring) standardised terms: I am a writer and a wise woman.
My work has this one common thread: I want to make you think about life and your role in it. Does life really work the way you think it does? Is it the way you’d like it to be? When it comes to writing, I write both fiction and non-fiction. I also lecture and give inspirational speeches and workshops.
