What is 2012 all About? I keep seeing posts upon posts of people providing their version of what they believe this to be, what it will bring and what to prepare for. I discovered all of this over twelve months ago when I asked the question from the powers that be. The world is not going to end, it isn’t going to be Armageddon and the Age of Aquarius isn’t going to all of a sudden hit us with a metaphysical baseball bat, particularly given that each age lasts for two thousand years and we are only at the beginning of this age. Think about this from a logical perspective…

Sophia This is noon time, this is mine, tranquility – The sound of the gong, An echo, intelligent note Caressing with the wisdom Of what psychic visions will appear in my mind. I hold her in my arms. It is happiness. The full tone saturates my brain. Her small arms encircle my neck. It is in this place where I encounter, This astral meadow that seems to breathe And allows us to meet Another time And space again – chakra glows in my chest. One emotional tear makes her real. At first my mind will not comprehend It rebels against concepts told not real, illogical. I hold my breath so…

New Beginnings “We will open the book.  Its pages are blank.  We are going to put words on them ourselves.  The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.”  ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce As the cultural New Year approaches, many of us look into our past and hope for our future with sincere longing and beliefs of what could be. Resolutions and goals are set now as they have been since the days of our ancient ancestors. For thousands of years, January has been considered a time of passage; an opportunity for new beginnings. January is named for the Roman God, Janus, the god of doorways, transitions…

To Be Human……The Greatest Vacation in the Universe! I’d like to continue my exploration of the deities by discussing a theory I have developed, one that I believe may be the single most important reason for human existence. In my former posts, I have explained my theories on the nature of our gods’ and goddesses’ actual existence, and what I imagine that they truly are, as a “species”. To paraphrase, I believe they are made of pure energy, and exist in all locations and in all forms of time, namely, past, present, and future. Upon deeper thought and introspection, I have come to the conclusion that there is a very…

FREYA’S BROTHER Freyr is known as the God of peace, warriors, abundance and most of all Freya’s twin brother.  Except his chariot is pulled by the golden boar Gullinbursti, instead of two blue cats like his sister.  Freyrs chariot was made for him by dwarfs for the mischievous God Loki to give to him.  The brother and sister duo do have much in common, like the fact that they are both Gods of prosperity, fertility, and fun.  Both are well liked by the opposite sex and show no shame in it.  Freyr is married to the ginatess Gerd, and Freya to Odin, God of war and wisdom.  Freyr fell in…

Simplicity Love Order Faith Joy Respect Beauty Gratitude Self Dicipline and Self Reliance Peace Charity Courage These virtues are going to be our inspiration this calendar year of 2012. I feel that many of these virtues are no longer a part of our society.  Each and everyone of them is not only a gift to ourselves, but to our family and the greater world as well. It seems at first glance to be an easy thing to do and we automatically assume there is nothing for us to learn. But it is much more than a list of words that make us feel good about ourselves. Incorporating these ideas into…

A Fresh Start There have been many times during my years on the Path, where I have felt the overwhelming need to begin anew. When I first dedicated myself, as a Solitary servant to Hecate. When I gave myself a magical name, a year later. And now, I feel the hands of the clock sweeping the table clear and making way for another Fresh Start for me. It has been a season of tremendous loss for me and for my family. We have lost jobs, pets, dear friends and family members during this, the waning of the Year. Our relationships have been strained, strengthened and blessed during the difficulties we…
