Staying Strong

Last updated on: November 29, 2015 at 7:06 pm   By Vivianne Crowley

Many of us work with the concept of Will – True Will, Magickal Will, Acts of Will. By this we do not mean will to power, or will as another word for ‘want’. We mean finding the true voice within and discerning it form all the babble of competing desires and thoughts, emotions and hopes, fears and fantasies. Read more

Standing Between the Worlds at Samhain

Last updated on: October 30, 2015 at 9:26 pm   By Vivianne Crowley

To honor Samhain let us live for a day as though it is our last. Let us see dawn and sunset and the beauty of the sky as though we might not see them again. Let us listen to the song of the birds as though they might not sing for us again. Let us live for a day, focused intensely in the absolute reality of the present, as though past and future do not exist. Read more

Meditating at Harvest In an Interplanetary Age

Last updated on: August 19, 2015 at 10:42 pm   By Vivianne Crowley

What does religion mean to us in this era of ours? Our science fiction and fantasy have taken the place of the folklore and myth of old, but in essence they are same – our human longings to understand how our consciousness came to be, to understand what we can do on our planet, to understand if we can go beyond the confines of our planet, beyond our solar system, can we reach out into the galaxies to find others such as we? Read more

Midsummer Blessings of Belisama

Last updated on: June 16, 2017 at 8:05 pm   By Vivianne Crowley

At Midsummer we invoke Belisama, the Bright One, Lady of Summer. Some say she is the bright golden sunlight; others that she is more fiery, a Lady of Battles and Arrows. We find her in France and we find her in the Milan region of northern Italy, where Celtic tribes came seeking new lands. Read more
