We are not immune to the charms of a beautiful head of hair and the ancient Egyptians weren’t either. But they took appreciation for hair, especially feminine hair, to a whole new level of magnitude. For them, hair was magical. And, of course, Who would have the most magical hair of all? The Goddess of […]
Grief
The Healing Power of Grief by Lauri Ann Lumby
Grief is a spiritual process that shows up in times of death, change and loss. While it doesn’t feel like it most of the time, the grieving process is a gift given to us by our Divine Source that allows us to move through the many losses of our lives, find healing and release of […]
AKHILANDESHWARI: THE POWER OF BROKENNESS by Laura Amazzone
Akhilandeshwari is a South Asian Goddess who is known as ‘She Who Is Never Not Broken’. Her name references Her Universal & Cosmic powers: Akhila (Universe) Anda (Universe) Ishwari (Sovereign, Ruler). The word, akhilanda means ‘always broken’ or ‘never not broken’. The double negative is meant to emphasize the truth of Her brokenness. It may seem strange to think of Goddess as […]
Living Face First by Brandi Auset
I was raised in an aggressively religious, creatively-stunted home. Not only was critical thinking frowned upon, but any intuitive notions without religious undertones were given the stink eye. And everything was conditional. Including love and acceptance. I couldn’t just be me, I had to be the right me. The approved me. But none of those thin and quiet personalities fit […]
What Does Emotional Awareness Have to Do with Intuition? by Maura Torkildson
I like to say, how we know everything in this world is through our bodies. Yes, information may be coming through to us from another place, however you name it, but here on earth in 3d world, how we know what we know is with our bodies. Our bodies are an exquisite awareness vessel. There […]
The Healing Power of Alchemy by Charlotte Elea
Alchemy is the process of distilling something into its most pure, sacred essence. It may sound complicated, but it is actually quite simple. On a physical level, it occurs naturally and passively when two disparate elements come together into the same space. As one element acts as a catalyst for the other, they both transform. […]
Spring Anxiety Arrived Like A Lion {Kim Hageman}
I am a little afraid of spring. Feeling very Demeter here. Fear of returning, fear of change. Prospect of newness and being confronted by what didn’t get done over the winter. My own daughter will return from 3 months in Italy next month. I can literally feel Demeter’s anticipation, waiting for her girl Persephone to […]
Lessons on Loneliness {Lauri Ann Lumby}
I have had many conversations with fellow mystics on the topic of loneliness. As mystics we ARE different from the norm, usually pretty far-left of center. Many find it difficult to relate to or understand us. Others are hesitant to draw near because of the light we shine on the love they are, which they […]
To the Beautiful Mourner – Isis the Weeper that Transforms {M. Isidora Forrest}
This is a gift the priest/ess brings before the Beautiful Mourner, Isis the Weeper Who Transforms: an invocation offering of mourning. I offer You, Isis, my mourning for there is nothing else I can do with it. How is it that something so empty can be called pain-full? I am abandoned in an ocean of […]
New England Past and Present Merge {Mary Petiet}
“Hello, Hello!” An insistent voice outside the dining room door. A man calling, the voice unrecognizable in everything but its urgency. I poke my head through the door. Silence. Trees still, no breeze, no birdsong. Summer evening shadows gather in silence. There is no man, no one to claim that strong voice. The New England […]
