When diving into spell-casting in this modern age, it can be a bit overwhelming if you have a busy schedule. How can the modern witch do their craft efficiently without investing a lot of time into study, gathering of materials and creating spells? The answer is candles! But these are no ordinary candles. They are specially designed to work for whatever purpose needed with the spell intact. All that’s needed is a flame and your intention. The maker of these magical candles is a fantastic independent business of over 25 years. Coventry Creations was founded by Jacki Smith with the help of her sister Patty Shaw...
The warrior spirit is coming forward to help us initiate actions that'll get us what we desire, but it's coming into contact with the deeper evolutionary themes of our individual souls and our collective destiny.
To many of us it seems that the principles upon which our country was founded are in short supply these days. What can we do about it? Unless, like Mahatma Gandhi or Dr. King, you plan to start a national movement for peace justice and equality, you can at least stand up and be counted! And next Monday night you have an opportunity to do just that!
Next Monday night we honor the lives of M.K. Gandhi and Dr. M.L. King in a public tribute that would be just the kind of occasion where people like you and I can come together. The tribute includes music, audio and video tracks, and readings from their speeches and writings
This New Moon is an auspicious time for committing to any intentions you've set for the New year, and outlining concrete steps for following through. Ritualize the process in whatever way works best for you. Magic, afterall, is a process of inviting in the mysterious 'other', while participating in direct actions that will help you to achieve the thing. It's opening to a universe that is conspiring to shower you with gifts and then participating in that process.
In this latest episode of The Dream Detective Podcast, I interviewed Kathleen O'Keefe-Kanavos, a 3-time breast cancer survivor whose dreams saved her life by providing early detection when no doctors or medical tests could. We talk about her books 'Surviving Cancerland: Intuitive Aspects of Healing' and 'Dreams That Can Save Your Life: Early Warning Signs of Cancer and Other Diseases' with co-author Dr. Larry Burk. We explore how dreams can provide both literal and symbolic warnings, and look at some of the common symbols in dreams of cancer patients. We also discuss dream visitations from deceased loved ones (aka after death visitation dreams), and how they can play a significant role in delivering message to warn us of health concerns. By listening to her dreams and her waking life intuition, Kat was guided on the path to healing, despite resistance from medical professionals. Join us to hear her fascinating story. You can find the full show notes with links at www.thedreamdetective.com and you can find Kathleen's books at East West Bookshop!
Paramhansa Yogananda wrote in his now world-renowned life story ("Autobiography of a Yogi") that it is only when the individual soul awakens to the prospect of the "anguishing monotony of repeated rounds of birth, life, and death (replete with the three evils of mortal existence identified by Buddha: illness, old age, and death), that God sends a guru to guide the soul into the safe harbor of ego transcendence.
Around this time, more of us create new goals than watch the Super Bowl. That’s a lot of people. However, less than one in 10 will actually accomplish our newfound goals. What’s the use? Goal-setting should heighten your focus and productivity, not induce more guilt. So here’s a better way to go about setting – and achieving – your goals.
“Jesus” was the man’s name but “Christ” was the title bestowed upon him. “Christ” signifies that he had achieved realization of his innate divine nature: a nature we all possess but few have sought it and fewer still have yet to “become One with the Father.” To do so, however, is the purpose for which we were created. It is our destiny to achieve this oneness, but it is only by the free choice of our hearts that we begin the journey “home” to claim our royal birthright just as in the beautiful story of the Prodigal Son. (You might find it interesting to know that the title of “Christ” is etymologically connected with the word “Krishna” and carries the same significance.)
There is a single solution to every problem we face in life. Whether a challenge of health, attitude, or outer circumstance, the inner light experienced in deep meditation is the supreme fixer.
Why? Because deep concentration on the inner light calms our emotions, and raises our consciousness to a state where we are able to receive intuitive guidance, understanding, and healing.
May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
