There is a phrase … “the arrow of time only moves in one direction”. It means that time only moves forwards – never back – and is issued as a warning to those who might tend to take their time for granted, not realising how rapidly it passes and how it can never be regained again. Such a warning is…
A friend of mine – Sandra Duckworth I doff my cap to thee – recently mentioned in a text exchange how she was experiencing the lockdown as a liminal space, sometimes known as a space betwixt between! LIGHT BULB MOMENT! Of course this is a liminal space – I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t seen it myself before – a…
It’s Easter time and as the “lockdown” is still in enforcement we are all – quite rightly so – barred from enjoying our usual liberties over the Easter period. For many this will be a challenging time when as either Christians, new age spiritual thinkers or Pagans they were used to gathering with the like minded to celebrate this sacred…
So … first things first … in my humble opinion ANY and ALL forms of healing – be it crystal, reiki, spiritual, faith, pranic, angelic or magickal should only ever be seen as an assist to conventional medical healing via medication and orthodox treatment and NEVER as a replacement for it! Got that? OK … lets carry on! Magick has…
What seems like a long, long time ago Halloween was a very different affair, in South Yorkshire – where I was raised – it largely consisted of a turnip lantern in the window sill and a VERY occasional fancy dress party. Trick or treaters not reaching South Yorkshire for another good 5 years or so! Aged 16 I was just…
As we approach Samhein (Halloween to most) the veil between the world of the living and the dead becomes thin – as the energy of the “old year” passes and the energy of the “new year” rushes in. The thinning of the veil is not a sudden thing but a gradual shift – just as the exchange of yearly energy…
On the third day of our holiday we slowed and pottered … we had what my Mother would call “a lazy day” – which allowed me to catch up with some over due reading! A dear friend of mine – thank you Sue – bought me this book for my birthday! I’ve always been a sucker for a “spiritual biography”…
As mentioned before Totem animals can be not only those creatures that we know now upon the Earth but other creatures too. Creatures that we might consider to be nothing more than legend and fantasy but which are in truth creatures of the elemental realm. Pegasus is one such creature – born of the blood of the Gorgon Medusa and…
Ask someone in the street about the Fairy folk and they will talk to you about Tinkerbell and Flower Fairies! Tutu wearing wide eyes girls with dragonfly wings and wands with stars on the end. This is the image we have been sold, a relatively modern day fairy folk, largely disempowered from their origins in the folk law of our…
In Peter Pan it’s Fairy Dust that makes the Darling children fly (that and a happy thought) but real Fairy Dust – and such thing does indeed exist – doesn’t have quite the same effect but it does do something similar. For the Fairy Folk have the power to lift the spirits of those who have fallen – emotionally –…
