Not just a word. A guided tour of a tiny piece of the human experience.
These are words you already know - simple words like god and sun and home. Words that are part of the furniture of your mind, the vocabulary of your subconscious, the words in your heart. You’ll read about where they come from and what they mean, just like in a regular word-of-the-day, but you’ll also read about how their sounds contribute to their meaning in subtle ways (phonosemantics), related words, and their place in the universal subconscious.

For the spiritual searcher who feels called or connected to Nature and the Ancient World, my articles and recordings provide spiritual guidance, inspiration, and beauty, by fostering communication, openness, groundedness, and a sense of childlike awe.
Have your name analyzed -- DJ Word of the Day style.
I believe our names reflect both our character and our purpose in life. For a donation of your choice, I'll give you a complete etymological analysis and phonosemantic reading -- a full historical and spiritual assessment.
Every name means something. What about yours?
Do you like the artwork on this site? -- Get some for yourself.
I create each of these pictures using a powerful landscape generation program. I strive to bring out the heart's inner world -- the spiritual landscape that informs the most ancient religions, and the symbolic landscapes that speak to us today. For a donation of any amount, I will create one specifically for you. You may choose the landscape features you want, or I will meditate on your needs and create one tailored to your spiritual circumstances.
Roam in places that are your own... the pasture of ardent clearness and mindfulness... your own place, your natural range. --Samyutta Nikaya
Want to experience meditation for yourself?
It's an excellent way to communicate with guides, develop your intuition, explore inner space, and reach a state of peace. I've created a series of guided meditations designed to get you started on this path, available at the Druid Journal Meditation blog.
Follow along as I experience spiritual weight loss, the unique whole-self health solution offered by Kara-Leah at her site, be Conscious Now. This approach to weight management looks primarily at the underlying spiritual-energetic reasons for the way we manifest our bodies. Your body is a reflection of your spirit; if you want to overhaul your body, fix your Soul, and the rest will follow. -
