I was journeying in the Middle World Saturday morning and stumbled on this possibility. I understand that the US is divided on whether this would be a good thing or a bad thing, but I want to share it so you are aware of the possibility. It’s a place and time that may need shamanic […]

Information Storage I thought I would pose a question today about storing life force. David Spangler, a leader in Incarnational Spirituality, has a meeting every day where he spends one minute with others to appreciate the life around us, organic or not. I look for him almost every day. You will want to join us. […]

I wrote to you not long ago about my desire to step back from my publishing company (Idyll Arbor) to spend more time on work related to We All Have Souls. I asked for your help finding someone to take over the company. I appreciate your suggestions and I’m pleased to announce that Idyll Arbor […]

People who practice conjure go to graveyards to retrieve soil from graves. They believe that as the bodies decay, they release their wisdom into the surrounding earth. Over time the wisdom spreads throughout the graveyard. A person’s wisdom is strongest near his or her grave. Taking the soil and honoring it on a practitioner’s altar […]

There are many ways to describe the divide in America — political, racial, economic. But most descriptions do not lead to solutions. I propose a way of looking at the divide that might help us come together again. I suggest that the most important divide in America is the divide about sovereignty. Many still wish […]

Keys, watches, occasionally a wallet, small nails and screws when we are building something. And once, for me, my passport. Those who understand the Fey world often say, “The fairies took it.” I’m writing today to let you know that it isn’t always the fairies. These things go away on their own. In this world […]
