The Big Secret is, secrets are dumb and we are better than that. People who want to have secrets are people who want power over others. Anybody who says to you, “Yes, I can teach you the secrets of blah blah blah universal blah blah blah, sign up for my $6000 course,” might be taking
I’ve written about him before, plenty, because he’s just so gosh darn fascinating. I really can’t help myself. So first, let’s just establish here, that the original mentions of our 6th Century CE friend Merlin (from a book called Historia Brittonum, attributed to a monk called Nennius in the 7th Century CE), are all about
It’s the Vernal Equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere, and the Autumnal Equinox for our friends in the Southern. Happy Equality Day, everybody! There, I fixed it. I have been ranting for … a couple years now about this whole Equinox binary story, and I just realized this morning that this holiday has been celebrated
I’ve been writing a lot about shamanism lately, for a reason. I’ve been reading a lot about shamanism lately, and animism, too. And the more I read, yes, the more I realize, we need this desperately now. This is what we are wired for. This is how our brains actually function. Not having this is

Give thanks for your wounds, they’re where you had to grow. Leonard Cohen says the cracks are where the light gets in. Same sort of idea, really. The Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold and lacquer is a celebration of this idea as well. Celebrate your broken places, and your healing, too, of course.
I write a lot about how science and “psience” are strange bedfellows. It’s not that we don’t like science over here – we do! Very much! However … science tends to see a lot of things as black-and-white issues, one way or another, right or wrong, sci-way or high-way. And it gets a little old
Air hasn’t always just been just the stuff that surrounds us that we have to breathe. In ancient Greece, Air was called the Anima, before that word got dumbed down to mean the interiority of our being-ness, totally separate and individual and un-connected to anything else around us. Even the Bible acknowledges, multiple times actually,
