Speaking Forbidden Things
I’m going to be honest with you. Right now, I’m scared of going further in this post. I know where I want it to end up, but I can’t even fully form the thought in my head. So let’s see how this goes. Two years ago I wrote a post on my WordPress.com blog (another…

Time to Get Real
Ding Dong, Ding Dong! That’s right. It’s time to step up to the plate. It’s midsummer, 2014. Half the year is gone and we have half the year remaining. I know you had goals for this year. Where are you on them? Did they get abandoned? Have you come up with new ones? Adjusted them…

Who You Really Are
So, my mother told when I was growing up: Who you most want to be is who you really are. Crazy, right? If I was already who I wanted to be, then I would already have all the things I want and I’d be fulfilling my life’s purpose. But instead, I’m still on the road.…

The modern “chicken,” or Hens, Roosters, chicks, pullets, and cockerels as they are known in their age groups, are a wide variety of different fowl birds, descended from many more…

What if I Don’t Want to Learn a Lesson?
Some lessons are hard. Really hard. And sometimes we feel stubborn. Really stubborn. And there are times when we just plain old do not feel like learning the lessons before us. What should you do? What CAN you do? Well, before exploring options to get rid of your lesson (or a particular totem), I recommend…

Masks and You
Just like books have covers, we have masks. Those masks are what we wear to convey to the people around us what we’re about. Whether we’re stern and serious, or if we’re child-like and playful. And how we’ve constructed our masks can determine how well we are treated. We have a lot of issues, though,…

From Plinky: What activity, task, or game do you love most in the world? Why?
Today, I’m going to go with dancing. Dancing is so amazing. So much of our time is spent outside ourselves: working on paperwork, working on the computer, watching the TV, watching the kids, watching the dogs, doing the chores, taking care of the stuff, escaping into the books/movies/shows. Dancing is one of the few things…

Power Animals Around the World
The concept of Animal Spirit Guides (or, here, “Power Animals”) is not unique to any particular culture, though a lot of people will immediately think of Native American or Meso American cultures. This is where we get a lot of the neo-shamanic practices of Animal Medicine or Totem Animals, but it’s important to recognize that…
