Creativity + Dreamtime + Spirit
Creativity is an interesting thing in our culture. We value it highly, but not consciously. We expect everything to be attractively arranged and we’re swayed by the appearance of things – anything, really – websites, products, furniture, cooking utensils… you name it, and someone has taken the time to design it and find out what…

Why I Chose to Be a Shaman
Those of you who have read my About page (and bless you if you did!) know that I’ve been at this a very long time, but it’s only recently that I’ve taken on the titles of Shaman and Pathfinder. You don’t have to be a shaman to engage in shamanic practice. Shamanic practice is in…

A New Star Shines in the Sky
My Aunt Dorothy died yesterday morning at 2am. It wasn’t a surprise; she’d been sick for a very long time, ever since I was little. For at least the last 20 years, she’s was supposed to die at any time, but she kept hanging on. Finally, 15 days ago, her son (my cousin) got married.…

Trees Don’t All Grow the Same
“There we go. Maybe there’s one that lives right here. And all of them aren’t straight up and down. Some of them are crooked. Trees don’t all grow the same. They grow however makes them happy. There, okay …” — Bob Ross, 1986 I can’t paint. Even by numbers. I try, but unless I’m going…

Walking with Angels – My Friend Kiri
I’ve been sitting here staring at my little postie box trying to figure out how I want to introduce Kiri. I’m listening to inspirational music (Pat Benetar, Heart, System of a Down, Metallica…), did a search for poems and quotes, tried a philosopher’s angel and something humorous (I don’t do funny). So I’m going to…

Honor Your Ancestors
I was doing a meditation about a week ago on one of my friends Animal Spirit Guides and I asked him for a message to bring back with me for her. He told me “honor the ancestors.” I knew that he didn’t just mean our physical ancestors, but also our spiritual and the ancestors of…

Dear Fae – Spirit Guides and a Joyful Life
Sorry that Dear Fae is late this week – it has been one of those weeks, let me tell you! Well, I’m not really going to tell you – nobody wants to hear about that. But here it is, better late than never! My Spirit Guides sometimes appear as living people who I know, usually…

What Are You Doing With Your Energy? – It Might Not Be What You Think!
Today I want to talk about what we do with our personal energy and how so few of us are using it effectively. Your thoughts are energy – pure energy. When you think about something, you give energy to that thing, situation, person, or worry. That energy then strengthens the connection between you, just like…

Do You Teeter Back and Forth Instead of Staying Balanced?
A lot of people talk about achieving balance as if it is an end goal – and, in a way, it is. It’s something to strive for in our lives, but it’s hardly static. Think of balance the way a tight-rope walker would – it’s a process, constant and ongoing. You may never strike that…
