Choosing the Difference

Several years ago, I entered a three-week retreat, during which time I disconnected from everyone and everything. Something hugely powerful and irresistible was pulling me away from the outside world, towards an unknown inner journey of reflection, release and renewal. It was as if I had an appointment for which I was not ready. An alchemical process was going to catalyze something within me, my intuition told me, which was going to get me ready by dissolving what might be in the way, by … [Read more...]

What then is Magic?

By Hanakia Zedek Leave a Comment

Let's jump right in. If you try to use magic, it will inevitably destroy you, as will any power. Whatever you use comes back to haunt you. One must become Magic. So what then is Magic? Magic is the self-aware matrix of existence and non-existence. Like intent, it brings things into being. It is the crux between. It is the whisper within that says this is the way, and if you look away for a moment it is gone - and yet, you can't even look straight at it. It is the hairbreadth of instant. It … [Read more...]

Animal Medicine from Pine Stone Lodge

By Lynn Koll 2 Comments

When I unlock the gates and ascend down the tree-lined driveway, I breathe deep and feel a sense of peace and serenity. I open the door of Pine Stone Lodge, and the large Great Room with the hand-carved grizzly bear welcomes me with excitement and anticipation. I'm grateful that internet service does not work here. I turn off my cell phone, adjust the geo-thermal heat, and light a candle. Without any expectation, I vow to stay in the present moment and allow divine wisdom to unfold … [Read more...]

Creation Castle: Chickens and Abe Lincoln Welcome!

By Angie Bailey 2 Comments

I've always been a believer in visualization. Most days, I make the time to sit in silence and envision what I'd like to create for myself. The list usually goes something like: a successful writing career, perfect health, hairball-free cats, and kids that adore household chores. I absolutely see steps in a positive direction for the first two, and if you have any special manifestation techniques on the last two, I'd pay good money to hear them. I've started affirming the good as it appears … [Read more...]

Living a Life of Magic

By Lynn Andrews Leave a Comment

Magic, what a wonderful part of life! It is what fills our souls with joy, the hope that is found in each new sunrise. Magic is what warms our bones on a cold winter day as the sun glints off the frozen snow creating miniature prisms of beautiful dancing light that capture our imagination and catapult us into a very special place. It is what cools us down when it is 110 degrees in the shade and we feel the caress of a gentle breeze on our cheek. Magic is the love that we experience when we see a … [Read more...]

Creation Song

By Lynn Andrews Leave a Comment

"In the Tree of Dreams, there is a song," Face in the Water said to me. She is a beautiful elder woman whose eyes reflect an ancient past, the tribal customs of her people. "Like any other living thing, the Tree of Dreams has a song to be sung. This song is to be listened for very, very carefully, for it teaches you that life is never ending. "The Tree of Dreams is you and me," she continued. "We are all a Tree of Dreams, filled with yearning, joy and love, filled with the teachings we have … [Read more...]

Making Things Happen

By Michael Maciel Leave a Comment

There is this person (I'm not naming names) whom I have known for 32 years. She always gets the best parking space. It is as though every store and shopping mall in the country has a sign with her name on it right next to the blue one, about six paces from the front door. It doesn't matter if it's the opening night for Lord of the Rings or Christmas Eve at Toys R Us -- her spot is always there. And if it's not, within 30 seconds someone will pull out, just as she drives up. And it's not as if … [Read more...]
