Guidance by Word, Card, and Star

  • The Tao of Leadership

    Tao Te Ching: 59 In caring for others and serving heaven, There is nothing like using restraint. Restraint beings with giving up one’s own ideas. This depends on virtue being gathered in the past. If there is a good store of virtue, then nothing is impossible. If nothing is impossible, then there are no limits.… Continue reading

  • Inner Landscapes

    I get the urge for going When the meadow grass is turning brown Summertime is falling down And winter’s closing in –Joni Mitchell I have recently begun to have regular contact with a new spirit guide. I think he has been prowling around at the edges of my consciousness for a long time — maybe… Continue reading

  • Abundance Experiment: Adam’s Peace, Shift Your Spirits, and the Gods are Bored

    A couple of weeks back, Lexi Sundell at Energies of Creation began an abundance experiment. In order to explore the dynamics of giving and receiving abundance, she came up with the idea to begin regularly contributing to web sites and organizations that she deeply appreciates. Each month, she intends to pick a handful of sites… Continue reading

  • Positive Loving Kindness: Using Opposites to Banish Negativity

    A few weeks ago, I posted the text and instructions for a meditation designed to find purpose and direction through cultivating loving kindness, in the grandest old Buddhist tradition. In my experience, the meditation is a great way to quiet the needy voice of the ego so that Spirit can speak, restoring the connection to… Continue reading

  • Finding Purpose and Direction Through Compassion

    Every once in a while, I get really, really, really caught up in my goals. Sometimes it’s because I am so very excited about them, I’m on the edge of my seat — like I’m watching a basketball game or exciting movie — I just can’t wait to see whether my goal will be met,… Continue reading

  • Where Do Ideas Come From?

    Have you ever wondered whether someone has been stealing your ideas? Maybe you’ve come up with a brand-new way of doing something, a new way of approaching a problem, an idea for an article or resolving some issue at work, or a personal gift you can give someone — and before you get a chance… Continue reading

  • Hearing the Song of the World

    A couple of days ago I read one of those books that reaches deep into your heart and wrenches you. I was in my daughter’s brand-new first grade classroom, and the first big meeting between the class parents and the teacher was over, and people were milling around and talking and getting to know each… Continue reading

  • Positive, Specific, Timeless Intention Manifestation

    Whether you call it the Law of Attraction, Intention Manifestation, Calling Upon the Gods or just plain Magick, the advice is the same: Don’t use negatives. Phrase your intentions positively for the best results. Don’t say “I don’t want to be alone”, say “I am with Bob”; don’t say “I don’t want to live in… Continue reading

  • Lughnasadh 2007: Embodiment of Sunfire

    This Lughnasadh has been a quiet one for our family, but one with some very interesting revelations for me personally. Our Family’s Lughnasadh Our usual mentor, Ellen Hopman, was away in Tennessee leading a large gathering, so the six of us tramped into the woods to do our own little thing. It turns out that… Continue reading

  • Interfaith Blog Event #7: Gender in Druidism: Girl Bullying

    Once again I’m delighted to participate in an interfaith blog conversation held by Mike (writing from the Mahayana Buddhist perspective), Jon (a Protestant Christian), Sojourner (pagan/UU), and Matt (an evangelical Christian) and myself, a Druid. Every month (or thereabouts), we write on a topic of interest to us all. This month’s topic is gender: What… Continue reading
