Missed opportunity…

I really should learn to listen to my intuition or inner “knowings” more often and act on them. Yesterday, around midday, I drove third son and his girlfriend to the cinema at the local Westfield shopping centre then came home — the intention being to go and pick them up again later that afternoon, around [...]

Autism, Psychic Abilities, the Paranormal and Paganism …is there a connection?

I wrote this article for the April Axis Mundi eNewsletter. It’s based on some of my previous writings here,  which have been “tweaked” and improved a little, with some new content added.
(Edit: 1/5/09 My article now also appears in the May edition of The Cosmic Cauldron Newsletter.)

Composing Music by Telepathy?

Every so often I come across a little bit more information hinting at a connection between Autism Spectrum “Disorders” and psychic ability. A friend posted this on a forum recently about her 10 year old daughter “A” with ASD.

Of Dragons & Synchronicity

I’m feeling rather unsettled today – don’t really know why. Just “something” in the air, like “something” is going to happen – some sort of change or shift. Maybe its just the dull, cloudy weather – it often makes me feel weird, and gives the sense that dragons are nearby. Are they mythical creatures, figments [...]

Aspergers, Synchronicity and Higher Purpose?

Daylight savings has started this weekend, and as usual when this happens I feel somewhat disoriented, unmotivated and lethargic. The fact that the time on the clock no longer matches the “expected” level of sunlight or the “feeling” of the day takes a bit of getting used to.  I’ve been stuffing around on the internet [...]

Paganism, Spirituality & Asperger’s Syndrome: Is there a Correlation?

Since beginning my journey a few years ago into the world of (Neo)Paganism I’ve often wondered about the seemingly disproportionate number of Pagans I’ve met (both in the “real” world and online) who either have a diagnosis of Asperger’s Syndrome (A.S.), or are self proclaimed Aspies based on their own observations and knowledge of the [...]
