Disentangling from Fate for the Fulfillment of Destiny

6/19/2025

The Fates Gathering in the Stars, by Elihu Vedder, 1919.
In Greek mythology the course of a person’s life is determined by three sister Goddesses, known as “The Fates”.

​The Fates are spinners and weavers, and together these three work, thread by thread, to weave the great tapestry of life (and death). Clotho spins each individual thread, allocating the form of life (ancestry, physicality, birth nation etc) to which the person will be irretrievably bound. Lachesis determines the length of thread, thereby assigning the length of the life, and how this thread will be woven into the one tapestry. Atropos cuts. She is a matchmaker of sorts, arranging dates with Death.
​
Through the lens of fate and the power of The Fates, the course of your life may seem beyond your control. But, not so….please…keep reading!

So Far From Our Spirit Home...Yet its Only One Clumsy Step Away

4/25/2025

1 Comment

 
“Our greatest desire is for a state in which all our interactions are based in a free, mutual, and noble exchange of love. Everyone wishes to be in a condition of relaxed, yet intimate and purposeful harmony with the whole of life…the union of humankind, Deity, and Nature.”
     -Richard Heinberg, “Memories and Visions of Paradise: Exploring the Universal Myth of a Lost Golden Age”

A loss of spirit has big implications for us personally and collectively. Without the feeling of being connected to something that is larger than us what is the point in doing the things that we do?

​And before you read any further I need to be very clear that I am not advocating for all of us to go back to church. Although that might be the way for some to connect to Spirit, that one of the results of how much power the church was granted was its ability to pave over so many other paths to Spirit means that it was essential to step back and ask the question…is this my way?

Wee Donnie and The Case of the Missing Fathers

3/3/2025

We are globally swimming in the outfall of the toxic mess dumped from the innards of boys masquerading as men.

Or at least that’s my blunt opinion on the ridiculous matter of the so-called “men” in positions of great power around the world. This current boy president south of our border, straight out of Lord of the Flies, can only ever act the part as the biggest man in town, because he never learned how to hold his masculinity in the way a real man does. With inner strength, not outer might.

This past weekend I led a Family Constellations workshop and the consequences of “missing fathers” came up as the central unhealed trauma in both of the constellations that we worked through. Whether or not these fathers were present physically in some capacity, they were missing emotionally and energetically. And the consequences of this were (and are) wide ranging, including that boys without fathers are less likely to ever figure out how to hold their masculinity in a good way.  It isn't impossible of course,  many great men were raised by women or in the presence of an absent or boy-posing-as-man father. I'm just saying that it's a much tougher road when we have to learn and grow without positive role modelling.

The Stars Align for an Alchemical Bonfire

2/1/2025

0 Comments

 
The Age of Aquarius isn’t just a new age concept, it is an actual scientific term used in reference to the position that we adopt in relationship to the stars as our planet wobbles slightly about on its central axis. This wobbling, termed “precession”, is a bit like a spinning top wobbling slightly as it spins. For the earth, it takes about 25,000 years to complete one wobble. Astronomers have divided this cycle into 12 periods of about 2150 years each, as there are 12 constellations of the zodiac that ring the earth and astronomers make it their job to relate us to the stars (thank you astronomers!).

As the earth wobbles, a few things happen in relationship to how we see the stars from earth, including which constellation of the zodiac we are oriented towards. For the last 2150 years or so we have been oriented towards the constellation Pisces, and we are moving into (or have already entered) orientation with the constellation Aquarius.

And there you have it – a very oversimplified explanation of the scientific basis behind this Age of Aquarius stuff!

New Year's Resolutions: Vows To Oneself

12/29/2024

1 Comment

 
Picture
A resolution is a vow made to oneself. It is a determination first made in the mind, and then affirmed as an orientation in physical space towards the intended outcome. And once that vow is made and the commitment is backed by our own footsteps in that direction then the universe can respond. Our action-backed resolutions are our way of proclaiming to the universe “here I come!”, and when the universe hears that, well all kinds of serendipitous support can result. And then voila…you are on the pathway towards manifestation.

Sounds pretty simple doesn’t it!?

The Trouble With Always Trying to be "Bigger Than"

11/28/2024

2 Comments

 
How many times have you tried to be “bigger than” something (or someone!) you are experiencing?
​
That big something feels like it threatens to collapse us. Becoming bigger than it seems the only way to not get squished beneath it.

Becoming “bigger than” is a great way to describe what we are attempting to do energetically. We try to expand our field of love and acceptance to be able to include something that might otherwise be well outside our limitations to be able to include.  But we set ourselves up for a dangerous game when we do this – of having to keep getting bigger, and bigger, and BIGGER. And at some point, we will find that we just can’t grow anymore, and then do the very thing that we were trying to avoid – collapse!

So what is the alternative?

Trick or Soul Cake! The Pagan Roots of Halloween

10/27/2024

1 Comment

The roots of many of the customs of our modern cultural festivals lie with those of our pagan ancestors. Their cyclical rituals were very much attuned to the rhythms of the earth, their understanding of the “other realms”, their devotion to their ancestors, and their gratitude for life.

​
This most certainly includes Halloween! The seemingly odd things we do at this time - dressing up in costumes, door-to-door candy collection, the “trick” in trick-or-treating, carving pumpkins, and general spookiness – are rooted in the traditions of the ancient Celtic seasonal festival of Samhain (pronounced Sow-when).

For the Celts, Samhain was one of four quarterly festivals that marked a very clear threshold time – that is the ending of one thing and the beginning of the next. This festival marked not only the changing of a season but also the changing of the year, making it a particularly significant threshold time as the doorways between the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and the end of one year and the beginning of the next, were both waiting to be traversed.

Samhain was celebrated October 31st to November 1st, with the time between the setting of the sun on the last day of autumn (Oct 31), and the rising of the sun on the first day of winter (Nov 1), a time to be tended to with care! It was understood that this was a particularly liminal time, whereby the rules of neither past season nor next, nor past year nor next, applied.

Possibility...or Magical Thinking?

9/29/2024

I am a self-identified possibility seeker. Or am I?

Over the last few years I came to realize that when it came to investing my energy into helping to bring forward “possibilities” for how we might create a new “possibility” in the world – that is one of collective action towards collective change towards a healthful relationship with the earth – I was rather biased. Rightly so perhaps, as both the science and now the lived evidence is clear that humans have altered the biosphere in a way that could lead to our own extinction.

But still the question arose…can I really explore possibility when I am NOT sitting in the energy of possibility myself? Seated from my own place of very focused will, aim and outright need whilst talking about possibility started to seem a bit contradictory. Not to mention increasingly stressful. The more I talked about “possibility” (from my place of extreme attachment to outcome!) the more contracted I felt. What was going on?

Through a lot of personal inquiry I found that an archetypal aspect of me, my very own eternal child, had been running the show in both my first career in environmental science, and more recently in my Possibility Project Podcast. This eternal child part of me is just that…forever young! And as all wee ones do, she believes in magic. Her magical thinking is a beautiful thing and has in fact helped me through many dark times, BUT this is the ONLY kind of thinking that she has. She believes in magical possibilities long after reality has shown her something else.

Pandora's Box: Is "Hope" the Answer or a Part of the Problem?

8/18/2024

This summer I’ve gotten to sink into some great listening with a podcast club that I have been hosting. And one of the episodes that we listened to really has got me revisiting a story from Greek mythology – that of Pandora and her box!*

You know it I’m sure…the one where the Gods create the first mortal woman “Pandora” and send her to the world of men to stir shit up! Zeus gives her a box and tells her to take it with her but to never ever open the box. Well, she’s also been endowed with the entire force behind evolution…that great questing force of CURIOUSITY…and so she just can’t not open that box!

What’s in the box? All of the “evils” of the world of course. She opens the box one bored day and out flies all of the various forms of suffering that would henceforth be inflicted upon humanity for all of the rest of time – war, plague, famine, despair, etc etc etc.

But wouldn’t you know it, there at the very bottom of the box, one seeming gift – that of “hope”.

​The Violet Flame: A Gift from the Sun God?

UPCOMING VIOLET FLAME WORKSHOP: May 23rd, 6:30-8:30pm, online. Open to All. Earlybird pricing until May 4th.

Between April’s solar eclipse and the approaching Canadian summer, who in this part of the world hasn’t got the sun on their mind? It is of little wonder that our ancient ancestors worshipped the life-giving, light-yielding sun as a god.


In all of the seeking and learning of the 20 years of my spiritual journey and the 10 years of my energy healing career I have arrived over and over and over again to what those ancestors of mine understood right through to their cores – somehow, its all about the sun.

Known as the 7th ray of healing, the Violet Flame comes as a gift from that great ball in the sky. ​
