The world didn’t end & a new year begins

We're still here... Well, 21/12/12 has come and gone without any earth-shattering, end-of-world events ...or any "ascension" for that matter either ...at least nothing that I've noticed. Then again, maybe I haven't noticed anything because I'm not "enlightened" enough? 😉 In case you've been hibernating in a remote cave (or somewhere equally distant from news …

Autism, Paganism, Psychic Ability & the Paranormal ~ Updated

Introduction I wrote the original version of this article (based on some of my previous writings here, "tweaked" and improved a little, with some new content added) for the April 2009 Axis Mundi eNewsletter for "Autism Awareness Month", after which it also appeared in the May 2009 edition of The Cosmic Cauldron Newsletter (no longer published). …

Revelations

Occasionally certain events happen that inspire me to poetic expression.  Suffice to say I needed to write this and found the process to be quite therapeutic. ...and here it is again, in case the image is hard to read...

Halloween, Samhain & Beltane in Australia

The following blog is the result of a conversation on Facebook, which I thought was worthy of being repeated here, tweaked and expanded a little and with photos added of course. 😀 My Facebook status update: "Hmm... I'm having a hard time remembering that it's actually Beltane here. With a rumpus room decorated with scary …

Spot the Difference

The latest Axis Mundi issue (July 2011) is now online, and it just happens to have an angelic theme ...hehe. 😉  (Click on the magazine image at the left to read it.) It's strange how things turn out sometimes, with lots of little synchronicities all pointing in the same direction (see my previous blog post …

Angelic Synchronicity

Facebook is often a source of contention and unrest due to the "status updates" people post and the subsequent string of comments by others keen to express their views about those updates. This past week has seen a barrage of emotionally charged sentiments expressed on some people's FB pages which have also resulted in people …
