Clarity of our Natural Way
Certainty, as most people espouse it is fear based, but clarity is not paranoia and we cannot create clarity. We can only see clearly, and that is possible partially in those moments of surrender. We are not the way of the world, the way of the world is in us. When we see that unity, that…

Natural Rhythm
An example of a modern mortification of the flesh is caffeine. It tends to make us feel very alert, but also uncomfy. However, it is so taken for granted that it is little questioned in general, and we schedule our time and lives around an unnatural rhythm. It has a positive affect for some and…

Witchcraft: A Natural Magic
It’s actually quite interesting how very far from gone witchcraft is. It wasn’t really shamanism, and wasn’t driven by a tribal view of nature. The phrase old wives tales for example. It does not always refer to the lore of witchcraft. Women in particular, and to a lesser degree men, have been making intuitive observations…

Natural Cycles
I don’t actually go into technical things as a matter of course, but often these subjects do help a technical practice anyway. The biggest shocker may be this, astrology is not about the stars. Astrology is in essence the same sort of discipline as feng shui or other forms of natural study. It’s based on…

Natural Inclination
In many schools of metaphysical thought, for you to have a natural inclination you won’t find freedom denying your inclination. It isn’t freedom to be right handed, but determined to do everything with your left, is it? Unless its conscious choice? Conscious choice can deny freedom, and in that case it’s delusion, but you have to…

Natural Law
There is a difference between a ‘natural’ law and a connived one. The natural laws arise even without human doing but include us, and they are a part of our natures. Contrived rules tend to create resistances. They rely on denial of select elements of reality. We know instinctively? Yes we do, and the natural…

Natural Difference
People have just not learnt to accept the different, and when you accept the different then what happens to the designation of “different”? Does it still bear emotional weight when you’re ok with it? Dr Phil was talking about controlling behaviours in spouses, and when someone says my husband always does this or never does…

What is Natural?
The “natural” to some, that is really unnatural, arises from judgment. It is still a process of thought. When we accidentally brush our stove, do we hesitate and say “Is this a good pain or a bad pain?”. Nope, nor do we need to. Nature has provided us a very accurate, and adequate way for…

Natural Magic
The Druids tended to live outside of tribal holdings, and not in the walled villages. Bards tended to live in them, but move from one village to another, and Ovates tended to live in places of power, but not natural power per se. Druids lived near their sacred groves. In border spots like caves, Ovates…

Natural Authority
Natural authority. I will use the term luck, or mana. Sometimes new words are better, but unless someone has an idea, I have none and will use mana. Each of us has a mana, and times when we are acting in our mana. But we are not encouraged to seek this or reflect on this.…

Natural Imagination of Dreams
How do dreams relate to imagination? Dreams are the base line or “natural” imagination. They are the purest and potentially the most balanced form of imagination, and where your mind nature and heart nature can surface with the very least distortion. There are a lot of things I can’t “think” about. Sometimes my head gets…

Our Natural State
Every tension you have in your body, every idea you have about your body, is directly linked not only to other people, but to life and the world itself. You will judge food according to your tensions. You will judge choices the same way, as well as people. With the strain and pain of tension,…

Natural Fear
Today’s topic is fear, and I have spoken about it before. Today, I intend to speak a bit more positively about fear. Hopefully, it will be a constructive line. Fear is the ability to recognize danger, and as that, it is a natural and proper aspect of human consciousness and instinct. But like most, if…

Hermetic Natural Order
Hermeticism loosely defined is the study of the natural or divine order. They are seen as one and the same. Today’s topic involves those aspects of nature that people consider darker or more scary. In Hermeticism, all powers or forces in the universe are a manifestation of divine nature and thus divine will. But this…

Natural Loyalty
My liver is jealous of my kidneys. It’s possible for the liver to be jealous of the kidneys. That leads to jaundice and other health symptoms. Both organs can still function, but due to a disagreement in their functions they interfere with each other. Because they were both sleeping with my gal bladder. Organs do…

Natural Memories by Debra Johnson
There is something about nature that awakens the senses. Almost every memory I have, from the time I was a very small child to now, centers around something natural. Something outside or just something to hold on to that was part of the Earth. Something not man-made or plastic or artificial, but genuine and real.…

Natural Dark Relics
Do trees transmute the dark energy? Ah, generally they do, yes. Most of the time, but let’s start with naturally occurring dark relics, then move to human. Landmarks are not a human idea. The contour of the land registers on the consciousness of everything that lives there, and there is a bond or possession, in…

In Tune with Natural and Spiritual
Are you all familiar with shamanism? Life centered magic? Not necessarily life centered, but definitely spirit centered, living or otherwise. In our role-play shamans are primarily healers. Is this the case or do they do more? Oh, they certainly do more though some of it is part of what inspired today’s topic on Dark Shamanism.…
