Dark Spirit
Everyone feeling the holiday spirit? The winter season is not all hope and light, or wasn’t, and some cultures still preserve some of that lore to this very day. Do we get into the holiday spirit or does the holiday spirit get into us? Ultimately, it gets into us, especially if you use the Voodoo…

In Season Of Death Is Spirit of Hope
In all cultures that have particularly harsh winters, there were spirits thought to be more active during these longer nights of the year. Krampus would be just one example. The Kitsune of Japan were another. This is where we get the term fox fire from. And well, as people tended to die much more commonly…

Extend Christmas Spirit To Your Inner Demons
Today’s language of things is taking us further and further away from the root words. Yes. Selling us watered down meaning. It isn’t a mystery why today’s teens seem so completely nihilistic, and they called my generation the Generation X. It’s called “bull shit”. I have a book written by a professor On Bullshit. He…

Speak For Our Spirit
How do we perceive illusion? Unwelcome. False. Not real. Yes. It’s typically seen as unwelcome, and judged as not real. But all of your problems are illusion, does that make them go away? No. Sound, light, sensation, vibration, resonance. All of your experience is the way something seems to be. It’s reality is an energy our bodies…

Spirit World Shaped by Connections
Shall we discuss mechanism behind exorcism? As I made mention of earlier, the spirit world is shaped by connections, resonance or sympathy, like affects like, but likewise there is a broader cycle between all pairs, a principle of duality and even a seasonal rotation. If one has fallen into a bad lifestyle, one attracts beings…

Negative Spirit Behaviour
Anyone ever deal with a situation involving negative spirit behavior? Let’s look at one that does commonly show up in popular accounts. Modern people are typically rather disrespectful of the dead, making land grabs and reclaiming funeral lands for their own profit, and showing serious disregard for the spiritual component of that land. Now modern…

Spirit of Fear
We are believing creatures. We used to believe in life, the fundamentals of life, nature, survival, wisdom, death. We considered things that are even true today. They considered the stars, the way of the world as a whole. The first city dwellers were shamans, and even they didn’t remain there all year round. They came…

Shadowy State Between Living and Spirit
The undead state has two boundaries rather than just one. It’s a shadowy state between the living world and the spirit world proper, sort of like walking in one of those old monastic cloisters. In fact, this is part of why old monasteries tend to stay haunted for so long. It’s a comparable state of…

Sharing of Spirit
In the shamans world view, all existence is spirit, and there is nothing that exists that is not a spirit. So the statement that you are what you eat had some meaning even to them. Thus you had to be very careful about eating herbs that you didn’t understand or make peace with, and even…

Spirit In Spirits
To anyone new to my Dark Metaphysics classes, the topics tend to run darker than you may be accustomed to hearing. No offense is implied or intended and this class is only offered as a way of broadening ones view of things people often otherwise find scary. That being said, shall we begin? Is everyone…

Words are Children of Spirit
People have spoken of a special class of spirit, and this is what we encounter most in the virtual world of Second Life. Why do people hate drama in Second Life? They come here to escape it. But they don’t escape it do they? The reason being is Second Life puts us face to face…

Spirit is Emergence
Shall we bring this back down to earth? The process I describe on the cosmic level plays out on earth, although in miniature. Our earth behaves like a germ or seed cell of the larger process. The threads of the cosmos play out in a select pattern allowing life to manifest specifically here in this…

Spirit Storm
The behaviour of the spirit plays out in our world like a storm over the sea. The spirit moves in waves or storm fronts over our world, touching on each and every thing, and manifesting differently in outcomes perhaps much the same as a physical storm has different outcomes for different creatures. This spirit storm…

The Spirit of a Goat by Cindy Falteich
I have a goat. He’s a boy. I named him Billy. I know how unoriginal that is. He’s also a professional eater. As I sit here on the creek bank, listening to the forest while babble flows freely through my head, he hovers near, chomping on the thorniest, pokiest, vilest of weeds with incisors made…

Consequence of Spirit Loss
Now the consequence of spirit loss… Ever notice what happens to a television series when it loses its continuity? “Jumping the shark” as it’s described when Fonzie jumped the shark… when a show reaches too far and loses cohesion. They’re desperate for plot lines. It seems like many shows lose their original writers after two…

Dealing with Spirit Loss
How can spirit loss be used in a metaphysical practice? In spirit retrieval practices, the recognition that you can lose a part of the source energy you draw from, and learning how to recover that. The flip side of this would be deliberate investment techniques, the use of phylacteries and such. The Egyptian hierophants had…

Spirit Manifestation
I have spoken of spirits before in previous classes, and one might get the impression that they are far removed otherworldly creatures. But today, among other things, we will explore how far from the truth that is. A famous physicist spoke of a different model of physical reality than most of us are accustomed to,…

The Mind-Body Connection: Feeding Your Inner Spirit by Caitlin Stripes
Think about the day after Halloween when you were a child. The crash that comes after the sugar high. And now think about experiencing that, even in a diluted form every day. Odds are? You already do. The traditional western diet has come under fire in recent years, and for good reason. Portion sizes have…
