PICTURE PERFECT Photography and Paranormal Investigation Now, let’s have a look at exactly what a “spirit entity” actually is. I have investigated three separate incidents in which the entity encountered was so solidly manifested it was impossible to tell it from a living person. One of these incidents happened to me, and it was the purest accident that I discovered it was not a living person. An account of this experience, titled “The Little Girl in the Ga Garden,” is included in my collection of true paranormal accounts titled Footprints in the Snow: Tales of Haunted Russia, published by Zumaya Publications. I have also had—and still have—personal encounters with spirit…

Dear Reader, Welcome to ‘It’s In the Cards’ for http://www.PaganPages.org.

What is Success – to You? What is the definition of success? Is it completing a degree? Is it having your parents say they are proud of you? Or perhaps it is making your first million dollars? In the scheme of things does it matter what success is? Or do we put so much into the end result that what gets us there doesn’t even matter. When you think about being successful what comes to mind? Is it the white picket fence, 2.3 children and a happily ever partner? Perhaps it is hitting the glass ceiling of the corporate world with the six figure salary? When is what we have…

Celtic Spirituality is and has always been based on the fundamental knowledge that all existence is born of cyclical nature and therefore, all existence whether human or from nature has a direct link connecting the otherworld to the realm of the material world. From the Druidic teachings handed down through the Welsh tradition we are shown that there is an unseen world that intermingles and affects our perceptible world. Things are not always as they may seem. Everything that “is” exists on numerous synchronized levels. The human being, the cognitive creature that he is comprehends the world around him as having three dominions or levels as it were: the spiritual,…

dear October, what have you for me this year? will you flood my inner senses? will you let ‘them’ come through the mist? will you fill me with fright? will you sooth me from my dreams? will you let me observe from my beloved rocker and marvel as the spirits swarm? will you let me find peace for another year? kismet life is like this. life is death. death is life. spin the wheel… ming AKA Babs oct.2, 2008 10:29 am

Experiencing the work:  What Witches Do [1] In the last two columns we discussed various ways in which Pagans can connect with the divine.  We can use prayer, meditation, shamanistic journeys, ritual, magic, or other means to connect with the Gods and Goddesses.  But what happens once we do connect?  What evidence do we have for a connection in ourselves, and in others? This is a complex and important question that leads across psychology, philosophy, and theology.  Because its so big, and I can do it so little justice even in the column space and time that I do have, we’ll break this topic up into three installments, starting this…

Everywhere I Look by Jack Montgomery – a truly impressionable cd, the 1st song “ Next to You” quickly became my new love song. http://cdbaby.com/mp3lofi/jackmontgomery2-01.m3u This collaboration of songs contains every genre from country, Celtic, folk rock, the blues to even a love song.  You can’t help but even do a little toe tapping. I was very impressed with Mr. Montgomery’s Roots of Oak, and his song Reflection will definitely make you stop and think and appreciate what you have in life right now.  For those of you who enjoy folk music with a twist this is a must have.  He has a smooth voice that at first I couldn’t…

Beating the Blues In early November the veil between this world and the world of spirit which opens wide during late October, shuts itself tightly once again.  This often leaves  we sensitives with feelings of depression and loss.  We feel overly grounded due to the loss of excessive magical energy, and just end up wanting to sleep.  We’re drained of energy, and find ourselves understanding why bears have a want to hibernate.  Hello Winter! To shake this feeling, regain our energy and get back on a good magical track once again, we need to more closely connect with self.  When we reconnect with our own magical energy, the power from…
