In the Spirit of Friendship

I get email forwards all the time. Most of us do. Today I got one that was a little more inspiring than the average fare, and I thought I would share some of it, with a little commentary. I hope you will find it equally inspiring. People come into your life ...

The Problem with Ouija Boards

A Taste of the Manuscript

Chapter One, part 1 For the purposes of this series of articles, a spirit companion is more than a spirit guide or a spirit friend. While technically each of these could be considered companions, the term “spirit companion” was created with a specific dynamic in mind. Simply put, a spirit companion ...

An Introduction of Sorts

I saw this mini survey on LJ, and figured I'd fill it out for those just arriving (as there are a few wandering over from Facebook). Feel free to skip if you already know me. :P 1. Name, age, location. My name is already known to anyone coming to see me, but ...

The Experience of Avatar

I will probably cry during the writing of this post. Possibly more than once. I'm just saying. Sunday when I came out of the theater as everyone else visited the restrooms, I started crying (again), hyperventilating a little and fighting to regain control of myself as people passed me entering ...

To Those Arriving From Facebook (and my past)

The focus of this blog will shock you. I can't help that. The subject matter is at the very least unconventional. I've spent so long in the thick of unconventionality that I forgot what it was like to look in from the outside. It may or may not comfort you ...

Wow, Nostalgia

My mood has been all over the place lately. The last couple of hours, I've been damn happy. Mostly lately, I've been blah. I'm savoring this happy time. So I'm working on my book and listening to Winamp. And Rush's "The Trees" comes on, and wow... what a rush. No ...

In Which I Rant

The New York Times today reports (among content about the new health care bill and the release of the names of those killed at Fort Hood) that "There are just over 100 people in the world serving sentences of life without parole for crimes they committed as juveniles in which ...

My Blog is, Firstly, For Me

An article in the NYTimes online today attempts to determine why people blog when they should be doing things like "homework and swim practice, or perhaps even housework and parenting." Their determination is that bloggers assume that just the act of starting a blog will provide an instant audience, followed ...

Meridjet Motives in a New Light

I was reading Wikipedia a bit ago, about schema therapy. There was a link at the bottom to their page on Cognitive Dissonance, in which I found this gem: Most of the research on cognitive dissonance takes the form of "induced compliance without sufficient justification." In these studies, participants are ...

OMFG

I didn't plan to post tonight (hey, it's still dark…), but this was too intense. First of all, let me thank those who commented to my last post. I'll answer tomorrow. I was away today, but it's been decided that Rending the Veil will go on hiatus after the Yule ...

Today in History On June 25, 1876, Lt. Col. George A. Custer and his 7th Cavalry were wiped out by Sioux and Cheyenne Indians in the Battle of Little Big Horn in Montana. (source: The New York Times) I remember that. :) In the only past life regression I ever had of ...

Current Ephemeris and Astrological Reference

Edited to add: I've corrected my chart below from the version I posted a moment ago. I recently found my birth certificate and discovered I was born 30 minutes earlier than I thought. This changes the house positions quite a bit, and moves Uranus in Leo to the 12th house ...

I’m Very Brave, Though

So I was Stumbling around via StumbleUpon and happened upon an old quiz I was just thinking of earlier today, so I took it out of curiosity for what it would reveal about my current state of mine. The Color Quiz, and it has nothing flattering to say today. In ...

A Dream of Meridjet — and Donald Tyson

I met Donald Tyson (online) in 1999 when he was writing his book Sexual Alchemy. A friend of mine mentioned the upcoming book to me, so I emailed Don about it, as it was the first time I'd ever heard of anyone else with a spirit companion. He replied, and ...
