I have been hearing whisperings... mostly my name called out from nowhere by nobody... not sure if this is the winged one, some other entity, or perhaps my own voice from within...

I made a few steps towards revitalizing my spiritual practices, I set out an altar table and laid all the tools I enjoy using, but never took it further. I feel it calling to me now, again, Kali wants to speak to me, perhaps I should listen, perhaps that is the voice whispering my name...

Feeling lost, often depressed, but at other times elated and eager to see where life goes next. Very confused. Sometimes angry, sometimes sad, sometimes strong, often weak.

Wheels Within Wheels by Jeff Freels

Want a nice little slap in the head to remind you to think every now and again? Wheels Within Wheels by Jeff Freels is just such a needed slap. Witty, entertaining, humorous, and easily digested, this little book is a great way to bring yourself into the NOW, you know that little thing called the present moment I'm always saying people need to be in? This little handbook will help get you there. Not a spiritual book, not a system of thinking, not even a self-help or advice book, but a little reminder to stop in your tracks and just friggin' THINK!

Best of all? You can download it in pdf format for FREE! Nothing to lose, download it, read it, love and print it out to carry with you everywhere, or read it and then use it as kindling for your next fire, either way just read it. You'll have no choice then but to think.

If you enjoy the work of Eckhart Tolle (of which I am a fan) or some of the others who espouse the Power of Now through stilling your thoughts, try this lighter, different approach to similar subject matter that says, quite simply, to THINK.

It is amazing how we need the obvious stated for us sometimes.

A Little Off-Topic Self-Promo

I've been working hard on some writing projects for one of my passions, old school pencil & paper role playing games, and to support all this I've started a new blog entitled TROLL HAMMER. Check it out at: http://trollhammerpress.blogspot.com/

Walking with Kali

With the return of the cold the turning of a year walking with Kali approaches. Really not a year, but the culmination of many, simply a year since She showed me Her face. I gathered relics to lay before Her, trinkets and totems to construct Her shrine, but when the treasures were gathered, She had me put them away, 'later' She said, we have work to do first. She took me by the hand and led me to darkness, where I was deconstructed, and the parts scattered, and She danced upon them, the dance of death, the trampling of life to bring death to bring rebirth. Then She gathered the parts, the pieces of me, the scattered bits, and She gave them to me, and She said 'build'. So I did, and I've worked hard at it, with my bare hands, building the new me, building a living with my bare hands, but I still held fear, and kept back one small dark piece, and tucked it deep within to haunt me, hidden at the surface for all to see but me. But all is good, I need the dark too, She is of the dark, I need Her, therefore I must need the dark too. Theorize - philosophize - justify. I continued to work, my guide by my side, and then She reached inside and turned up more bits and pieces of me, pressed them into my hand and said 'write'. Once again I started to build, this time with words, fantastic lands and ferocious beasts, hearty heroes and dreamy damsels, terrible tunnels where trolls tread. So back to now, eleven months have passed, and life has taken its turns. Slowly yet surely I've clawed and I've crawled, the top of the pit is in sight! She stands by my side, dark mother of All, muse of my spirit, guardian of my soul, standing by my side, I continue the fight!

Update: An Isis Rosary

Seems my Isis Rosary from the Brigantia 2010 issue of Mirror of Isis was reprinted almost immediately on a blog at PaganSpace.net. I find it flattering that someone thought my work good enough to include on their blog. Check it out at:

There is so much more to the Isis Rosary, and I am trying hard to get it all down and published, but time and life show no mercy, do they? An Isis Rosary, in an earlier form, was originally published in Isis-Seshat magazine June 2005, and a second article entitled An Isis Rosary Part 2: The Meditations appeared in Isis-Seshat Sept 2006. I had hoped to collect these articles along with much more unpublished material into book form by now, but I guess I am more realistically looking at a 2011 release.
