The Thin

I’ve often pondered here on the blog my relationship with my locale. I live in an older residential area, where many of the older homes were probably built in the post-war boom. I went to a high school built as part of the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s—it has a fallout shelter and is […] … Continue reading…The Thin

Cardinals

It is hot and bright, and ordinarily I would wear my shades, but I let my eyes adjust to where I don’t need to squint anymore, and I enjoy the colors and sky and clouds, the trees still green at this point. I have a bottle full of ice and water, and as I walk, […] … Continue reading…Cardinals

Power + Intention

Lynn McTaggart has been pursuing the power of guided, healing intentions and consciousness for a while. Where her early work focused on large, group, meditative intentions in experimental contexts, she has most recently published her The Power of Eight that focuses on groups of six to twelve persons (or, ideally, eight) “intending” healing or similar […] … Continue reading…Power + Intention

The trees stand tall but dormant, leafless, swaying only in stronger winds. I can look up at them casting silhouettes against the twilightening, […] … Continue reading…Forest Mind

And I would look out at the woods in the dark of the night, the wind […] … Continue reading…Details

Mirrors & Spheres

A couple of years back, I had been working with various entities, and I called up one, and She gave me a sigil, symbol, pictograph. At the time, I began reflecting on that symbol in my mind, and I had an experience in which—bam—I started seeing a coiling mass of serpents (I always say wyrms, […] … Continue reading…Mirrors & Spheres

Stars & Bodies

I wanted astrology to make sense to me. I was always an astronomy nerd while growing up, especially for the planets. I’d do little reports on the planets and their planetary characteristic trivia when I was in elementary school. I think half the books I checked out while growing up were books on the planets. … Continue reading…Stars & Bodies
