Into the Fields of Magic: A Lammas Creation.

by on Aug 1, 2011

We celebrate the start of the harvest, knowing that work is still far from done. We don’t get to rest, yet, or feast fully. So we bake ourselves some bread and munch a handful of berries and keep going.

A Ballad for Beltane: the First of May.

by on Apr 29, 2011

The third road, perplexing as it is, is for those who would fully be human. You have to find your own way. There is no ordered cosmology here, only magic which you don’t always understand.

Dhyana at Imbolc: Melting the Edges.

by on Feb 1, 2011

Dhyana is about true sympathy, which is intermediate, like the nature of Imbolc: the relenting of one season that lets the next arrive. When we melt our edges, we make it possible for someone else to come in.

What’s Your Yoga Origin Story?

by on Jan 5, 2011

Yoga is both a door and a mirror. To really go through it, you have to look at what brought you to it, because that will begin the answer to the riddle that your Yoga was put in your life to solve.

by on Dec 20, 2010

Last week I was driving at evening through Nashville listening to Annie Lennox's grand new recording of 'The First Nowell' and singing along, roaring at the top of my lungs as I do in the car, and I exploded into tears. Which doesn't make any sense, because I am pagan.

Gliese 581g: An Exoplanetary Riff.

by on Sep 30, 2010

The discovery of a new world is lyrical and strange. It could be terrifying to some people. It will be enlarging if we meet it. It will be an end, and a beginning.

Why I Don’t Say Thank You.

by on Aug 21, 2010

Mind your matrika. Make what you say mindful and purposeful, truthful and appropriate. Don’t say ‘Thank you’ when you don’t mean it. Hear yourself when you speak. Hear what you say, really. Be sincere. Be creative, expressive, original, fresh, intelligent, and new.

Watering the Fields at Lammas.

by on Jul 31, 2010

At Lammas, the harvest is not all in; it is only beginning. There is a tenuousness to it, and much still depends on the good graces of nature, of sunshine and sweet rain. Much depends also on the good graces of our own nature. Love—because attention is love, listening is love, asking is love—is a great liberator, both of others and of ourselves.
