“In the past, people around the world heard the buzzing of bees as voices of the departed, a murmured conveyance from the spirit world. This belief traces back to the cultures of Egypt and Greece, among others, where tradition held that a person's soul appeared in bee form when it left the body, briefly visible (and audible) in its journey to the hereafter...Nobody knows the exact sequence of events that led to the beginning of bees, but everyone can agree on at least one thing: we know what it sounded like.”
― Thor Hanson, Buzz: The Nature and Necessity of Bees

“The word pneuma (breath) shares its origins with the word psyche; they are both considered words for soul. So when there is song in a tale or mythos, we know that the gods are being called upon to breathe their wisdom and power into the matter at hand. We know then that the forces are at work in the spirit world, busy crafting soul.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

“They do that in Japan, you know. Rather a lot."
"Poems to foxes?"
"Perhaps, but I mean they're always tying white paper on strings around trees- it looks as though the trees have necklaces or garter belts. Are you sure your witch friend wasn't Japanese? Their spirit world is full of foxes. They are called kitsune, and some are divine and some are mischievous or wicked.”

“We, by our very human and physical natures, permit the Spirit World to Exist! We emanate from our bodies this Spirit World. This reciprocal operation of the cosmos is very important to remember in your magickal workings.”
― Laurence Galian, Beyond Duality: The Art of Transcendence

“The Spirit World is filled with power, substantiality, and presence. I recommend you work on changing your consciousness with regard to Spirit and begin to see Spirit as the Power Matrix from which the physical world manifests. As a person's spirit eyes start to open he or she will begin to realize that he/she has had it backwards all along...The Physical World is thin and gossamer compared to the Spirit Realm.”
― Laurence Galian, Beyond Duality: The Art of Transcendence

“We have all unknowingly entered into agreements or soul contracts in the spirit world which direct our behavior in the present moment.”
― Laurence Galian, 666: Connection with Crowley

“We suggest that you consistently work throughout your lifetime on the creation of a coherent and integral spirit body. If your mind never turns to the spiritual in life, why do you think it will turn to the spirit in death? If you are not 'at home' with things spiritual, why do you think you will be able to orient yourself when you are thrust into the spirit world? At best, you will be disoriented and uncomfortable.”
― Laurence Galian, The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis

“A common theme in both shamanism and Witchcraft is the relationship between the spiritual practitioner and the spirit world—in particular, the relationship that the practitioner has with a specific spirit, often referred to in Witchcraft as the 'familiar'.”
― Storm Faerywolf, Forbidden Mysteries of Faery Witchcraft

“The Procession by Stewart Stafford

Let the lighthouse of past lives,
With all of the blinding pinnacles,
Guide us through death's brief mists.

Let the homing dirge of the piper,
Move us as sleep climbs upon us,
Spear of Selene cresting the horizon.

Let the dawn chorus sing in tribute,
To winter's carpeted, unspoiled dawn,
Setting forth with a crunching mission.

Let the cavalcade commence,
With all that are smiling and dearest,
Assembling within the celestial glare.

“I Am A Scientist (Sonnet 1026)

You may believe in psychics,
I don't need to, I am a scientist.
You may believe in astrology,
I don't need to, I am a scientist.
You may believe in tarot and reiki,
I don't need to, I am a scientist.
You may believe in energy healing,
I don't need to, I am a scientist.
You may believe in angels and spirits,
I don't need to, I am a scientist.
You may believe in life after death,
I don't need to, I am a scientist.
So long as you don't practice hate,
I stand here with my hand stretched out.
Will you hold it despite differences,
Or do you hate me for voicing reason out loud!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Her Insan Ailem: Everyone is Family, Everywhere is Home
