Writers Write, Right?

Well, sometimes writers write. Lately, it seems as if the needful aspects of life sometimes get in the way. I have been working on a book about my experiences with Hela and the Norns, was quite enthusiastic about my editing, and my computer, which was uploading iCloud drive, disappeared all my work. So I have

The wings of the bird of reason and emotion — Sun in Gemini

I was reading some of the blogs that I follow, and found this one that resonates with some of my own thinking on the topic.. Enjoy! ~Susan

Up At Night

Wide awake at 2:30 am, and I am not sleeping. Most people I know complain of this, but not me. This is the time when I am most in touch with my dreaming, my problem solving, and sometimes communication from the Divine. 2:30 am is the time when the downloads are the most clear, and

The Body Keeps The Score

I’ve been confronting old memories this week. There are old thoughts and ideas that I have been working to release in order to move forward with my life, freed (I hope) from triggers that have previously held me back. I was able to trace the source of fear back to childhood incidents from ages 2,

Quietude is an Attitude

Winds of Change

When I woke up to the feeling of adversarial energy today, I chose Trust over fear.

Yggdrasil

No book or course on Norse Mythology 101 would be complete without beginning with Yggdrasil, as the Nordic Tree of Life and Worlds remains at the foundation of the “Soul Map” of the Northern peoples. For one who has truly studied the Northern Mythos, the stages of psychological growth are obvious. In the beginning of

Check-Ins

Since I began practicing a spiritual lifestyle, I have discovered that it is a solid practice to “check in” with people I know and trust to get a more impartial viewpoint on “How’m’ I doing?” in maintaining a clear and coherent spiritual connection. My person of choice is

Techology

Have you ever dealt with the frustrations of technology? I have a learning curve these days with anything new. The simple fact of aging brings with it a slowing down of short term memory. Where my mind used to be like lightning, now I need to slow down to the pace of the day. Yet when my friend Cathy showed me her Apple iPad with the neatest feature – you can draw right on the screen with Apple’s own special pencil – I knew I had to have one. Cathy uses a program called Procreate especially designed for this platform.
