The Secrets In Plain Sight!

Prayer is the primary of the three means to open a door to The Divine, and it is certainly the most significant way of communicating with your deities. The other two are meditation and contemplation and just about anything else falls within the definition of one of those three. The main problem with prayer is how much wrong information we've been given and the personal agendas of some who would be teachers. From rote recitation of prayers without learning their meaning to list of things that you are not supposed to pray for to such barriers as "God's will" and "God's time", there is much standing in the way of the full truth about what prayer can do. But if you can still see and feel the truth beyond that, then you are ready for the full wonder and power of what prayer can do! Blessed Be!

Have you been receiving harassment lately, especially religious harassment? It happens a lot lately, and social media only added to the potential ways for it to happen. On the internet, they are often referred to as "trolls", for their obsessive behavior. It's even worse when it's someone you thought you knew. In my case, one was someone I had known since high school and another was someone I had served with in the Air Force. And past friendship does not curb their obsession or their verbal venom.There is much that can be said about them, but often not much that can be done about them except perhaps reporting and blocking. But one factor about those "trolls" and other harassers actually works against them and for your benefit!Blessed Be!

No Sabbat or other holiday is as personally spiritual as Samhain. By that I mean spiritual in a personal way to each individual one of us! The veil between the worlds is at its thinnest, and those on the other side of the veil have people here that they care about and love. Someone could very well want to communicate with YOU.The challenge is to recognize what you are seeing, and interpret the message. Even the most blatant may require interpretation, and some details might be personal to the recipient. They're here. Can we hear?Blessed Be!

I've been away for a while, and it has been a difficult journey. But, I am back, and I'm ready to be back. What I went through will certainly contribute to the content of future episodes, but for this one I'm going to talk about the difficult journey itself, so you'll know what happened and you'll have some idea of what happened and what it might come to mean. I know that it has been more than a year since my last podcast, but many have asked when I'll be back.

Lady Stormy was my wife, life partner and High Priestess beginning in 2000 until she died on December 24, 2019. Yes, Christmas Eve. There was so much more that I wish we could have done together. And that was just the beginning. Six months later, almost to the day, I had my own medical issues which led me to an ambulance ride, Emergency Room, and Intensive care, followed by a long time in a so-called "skilled norsing facility". Except for a few minutes, I never got to see my house again. My son packed up what he thought I might need, I found a lawyer to adle the sale of the house, and my son found me a place to live in Eugene, Oregon - the very town I left to begin my life with Lady Stormy. Thankfully, my dog Veronica is with me. That's not all, but that's plenty.

And so it's time to resume and also build.

Blessed Be!

Looking at the people who have become the news lately, I cannot help but wonder whom they really answer to, and why. Most people consider themselves accountable to some person, some deity, or some group - or a combination, depending on what their life is like. But what about those who don't seem to be accountable to anyone?

Actually, there is a simple answer, compatible with most scriptures or even a total lack of scripture! Let's look and find it!

Blessed Be!
