Cleansing your own Chakras How often do you feel: Heavy, tired when you really shouldn’t be, in a funk, as if you want a shower when you’re actually clean, or just too cluttered? Each day we pick up gunk in our aura from others by simply passing them in a crowded market or speaking with an upset friend on the phone. This is then added to the gunk we accumulate from our own toil and trouble. This gunk then gets sucked in to the constantly spinning energy wheels in our aura that we all know as our Chakras. I will explain here, how to clean your own chakras when you…

Greetings and dia dhuit, This is more of a comment than anything, but it is in response to the "Response to "Coming Out" Article" In said article, the author made a reference to christianity stealing philosophical views from other religions, particularily Wicca…This kind of boggled my mind, Wicca is only from this century alone, everything it is based on is from a belief system that required no name for it was a folk belief. I know what it is to have pride in all that we are, but sometimes some individuals can be just as high and mighty as Christians in my mind. Also, her obvious egotistical view of women’s…

When a friend of mine, who I’ll call Wanda, told me many years ago that she had visions and was visited by spirits and wandering souls when she was younger, I thought it was pretty neat, a bit scary, but neat. I wasn’t into too much mysticism at the time, wasn’t even quite sure what a pagan was. I never thought twice about it until about a year ago when she brought it up again, us on the verge of rekindling an old friendship. She started coming regularly to my house for belly dance lessons; something I warned her might have profound effects on her feminine soul. By then I…

The last rays of the sun filter into my cellar and wake me. Time to rise. Why? What is the point? I ask myself. Then the hunger reminds me. I find the mirror with its layer of grime. My reflection is a shadow in the shadows. I watch until the sunlight fades completely and only the artificial glow of the naked bulbs fills this museum of forgotten lives that has become my home. The magus warned me I would outlive the reason I took this power. He warned me the hunger would not abate even after my revenge was realized. He did not warn me I would outlive my essential…

Dreams, Drums, & Green Thumbs Artist: Bonnie Lockhart 1032 Winsor Avenue, Oakland, CA. 94610 Year 2002 Intially, this cd held nothing for me as the first song In My Family’s House reminded me kind of the something I would hear on the Beverly Hillbillies…and I mean no disrespect by that. It just was not of my taste. Who Were The Witches was a very amazing and powerful song and I believe my favorite on this cd. I decided that perhaps since I was 38, that I needed a childrens opinion. I borrowed my neighbors kids who are ages 2 and 7 years of age. Some of the songs caught their…

CD Review Sounds of Tantra: Mantra Meditation Techniques from Tools for Tantra by Harish Johari 1991 Destiny Recordings This was two 60 minute cd’s that I became instantly enthralled with. I actually used some of them during meditations that I did and found my journeys to be more in spiritual flow. I actually became so relaxed during one of the recordings that I fell asleep. One can easily be lulled by these cd’s…how relaxing. The music was the same in each different Mantra, only the words changed and to be honest with you, it took me about 8 Mantra’s to realize this. This is a keeper in my library and…
