Review of Little Miss Sumo Bright Blessings, Film lovers! I’ve always been a huge fan of Sumo Wrestling since watching the first match on TV I ever saw of it. In a country- America- where sports fans and athletes tear each other apart, and get into fights on the playing fields- it is downright refreshing to me to see the courtesy, pride, and poise Sumo Wrestlers exhibit.

My understandings about this topic came through my 30-year druid path, druidry and light healing both.

Altogether, there were 363 planes, separated into seven different inner worlds, or heavens. Each heaven was inhabited by different beings who came…

Review of the Book ‘Waking the Witch’ & Interview with Author Pam Grossman
Waking the Witchby Pam Grossman 304 Pages Waking the Witch by Pam Grossman has a decidedly different “feel” than most of the books currently on the market about Witches, Witchcraft and what it means to be a Witch in the 21st century.
