How to Tell if Your Spirit Friend is Real

I see you!

The number one concern that my clients, friends, and acquaintances share regarding their spirit companions is whether or not these spirits are real, and how to verify that reality. Doubt, being its own special hell, can attack from various directions: Doubt that the spirit is real. Doubt that he is who he says he is Continue reading →

Pagan Blog Project

By Mats!

So apparently there’s this ongoing thing called the Pagan Blog Project, and lots of people are participating. I just found out about it a few days ago, and I signed up, but as usual I’m thinking maybe I bit off more than I can swallow because I still haven’t found the time to actually write Continue reading →

Changes a la Meridjet

And the wind always blows.

There is so much to catch you all up on, but it would be both pointless and boring to give you a bullet list or to try to summarize everything. Some things are more topical, and more internally pressing, than others. My increasingly pragmatic life belies the fact that when you strip me down to Continue reading →

But I was duped!

cups_0008

Over the last twenty four hours, I have seen a lot of discussions about victims, scammers and who is really at fault. It is unfortunate to say but there are dishonest people in nearly every profession and dishonest clients that seek out services as well. In the world of counselling (including therapeutic, spiritual and psychic) Continue reading →

Looking for the Light at the End of the Tunnel

For the return of Innocence.

I’ve been posting a lot of my more trivial stuff on Google+, but this post definitely doesn’t belong there. One thing I’ve noticed about social networks — they promote superficiality of a sort. Not that the posts are meaningless or pointless (well, some are), but there’s not a lot of sharing of the self in Continue reading →

Introduction to the New Site

Looking out upon a world of possibilities.

Good morning, everyone, and I hope your day is off to a great start! I thought I might take this opportunity to tell you about the new site and what it means, why I elected to do it, and what you can get out of it. I apologize for not getting to this sooner, but Continue reading →

In Which There’s Ow

Sometimes I feel this vulnerable.

I think I’ve developed an aversion to blogging. It’s really weird, because I have also seen more of a shift (for me, anyway) toward the social networking stuff. Google+ is like blogging, streamlined. But it’s not very personal, and my attraction to blogging was always to express myself, particularly the deeper and grittier stuff that Continue reading →

New Term: Inflicted Insight

Don't worry. It's not raining. It's a drought.

From Wikipedia: Inflicted Insight: Inflicted insight is a possible consequence for subjects participating in certain kinds of research. It occurs when the subject is given insight into his flaws through his participation in an experiment, often unexpectedly or causing emotional pain. It is especially likely in social and psychological research and especially when that research Continue reading →

A Little Post on Karma

Sometimes healing means giving something up.

Karma is so much simpler than most people think, particularly those of a New Age or “newbie pagan” bent. If you snarl at people all day, pretty soon people snarl back, yes? When you put something out there, it immediately begins the journey back to you — some things just take longer to arrive than Continue reading →

Meridjet’s Menagerie

A little fairy told me.

Once upon a time, years ago, Meridjet had a fan club called “Meridjet’s Menagerie.” It was a joke, and it had a LiveJournal community called the “slut club.” I made and laminated cards for all the members and mailed them out. I can’t remember the last time I saw mine, and I have no idea Continue reading →

Pain = Bliss. Poetry.

Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.

Sometimes. I just had some of that. I wrote this sort of poem, like I used to do back in the day when I processed that way (25 years ago!). It’s not very polished. I could fall into forever Endless turns and flips of lazy stretching for the updraft buoyed by the fire in my Continue reading →

I Am Psychologically Disturbed

Just a little freaky, is all.

Quote by Jude Law as “Doctor Watson” in 2010′s Sherlock Holmes, and which I use on a page I’m working on. One of the clutter items I’m drowning in is notebooks. Spiral bound, ledger, datebooks, diaries, 3-ring binders of various sizes, and so on. I have stacks of notebooks, either blank, full, or with various Continue reading →
