The Secrets In Plain Sight!

We're going to be getting into some heavy stuff soon, but - no, wait we are indeeed already into some heavy stuff.  Between what we saw on prayer last week and what we explore about ritual today, we're seen what makes up the most powerful rituals ever done!  The difference is in the heart...

One of the classic mistakes in many fields, including this one, is not bothering to define something before trying to describe it, make use of it, or even try to teach others about it.  Deity is no exception.  Admittely, there is a lot of overlap, for instance.  Compare Brighid and St...

Let's talk about some others who can help our spiritual growth.  Last time, we spoke of the ones some folks refer to as ascended masters, celestial masters, saints, or any number of other terms depending on your path.  This time, let's look at the ones we sometimes call "familiars." ...

In the US, Veterans' Day is celebrated on November 11th.  Originally, it was called Armistice Day and was the day when Hostilities ceased in World War I.  And from the beginning, it was a time to honor veterans of that war.  But in the early 1950's, we had had an even bigger war, foll...

First, an apology for the delay in getting this out to you.  I normally do that on Friday nights, and this is only the second one that I've missed other than a couple that I put out in advance.  But last night I had such nasty leg cramps that I could not get down the stairs to do it.  ...
