Concerning and exploring the human spirit and soul.
Spiritual Bullying
I recently experienced a situation where I was indirectly involved in a spiritual healing practice. During my nearly year-long experience, I was learned some amazing lessons relative to my own gifts, one which included an uncomfortable realization that even amongst the so-called healing leaders, there is very much alive the practice of spiritual bullying and hypocrisy.

So You Want To Be Wiccan
In 2014, the Pew Research Center conducted a survey that estimated 0.4% of Americans identify as being part of a pagan or Wiccan religion. That is around 1 million people. Neopaganism, as it is sometimes called, has flourished in the past 20-30 years.

Satisfaction Brought him Back
There are a vast variety of spiritual things going on in this world right now. We have just witnessed a roller coaster of a year, with so many unexpected turns. Well, we absolutely made it. Congrats guys, take a moment to pat yourself on the back. "Treat every small victory as if you just won the super bowl!" - Lewis Howes

The Grey Space We Fail to See...
Some people underestimate spirituality or see it as a trend, but as Pierre Teilhard de Chardin said: “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” Rumi explored that truth in his poems. We don’t just live in the spiritual realm, but we are the spiritual realm. To see beyond our physical bodies and realize our true essence has been our purpose since the beginning of time. Rumi wrote about it eight centuries before the extensive spread of spirituality.

The Knotted Empress
Night after night you have found your Soul at the bottom of the Ocean’s floor. Growing up you have been taught by society and religion alike to avoid those who read and guide through the sight of the third Eye. Historically it’s been their plea that the wisdom of a Night Owl is only full of witchcraft and signs of misery. Then comes a moment you enter into a darkened space out of everyone’s view, because soulfully you desire a solitude of hiding in plain sight is where your vibe feels the most right; you come in connection with the energy of the Eye of a Knotted Empress, this horribly beautiful glow and her spiritual energy as she begins to calculate the numbers within the unexpected exchange. Before you know it you find comfort in her light and insight is of great wisdom and never ending vision; hiding in plain sight has now been exposed as nothing more than an illusion of your lost soul. In the darkness of the night she shines with the moon rise and an unexplained light strengthens as her Eye follows your every move; just as the mystical energies of a Night Owls grove, the same owl tattooed on her neck. Many fear her soul piercing gaze because of the truth that can never seem to be hidden in the shadows of each passing day. Now faced with what’s on the other side of the illusion of having anything to fear as you reluctantly embrace the facing of your fright as she takes your hand and the two of you are now walking within your shadow side. Without hesitation, you now find yourself standing in love with her wisdom and guide, as if it was a warning or sign of the hoots of a Night Owls cry. Her guidance is that of an unconditional love, like feathers of a warming and protective touch. The third Eye view of this Knotted Empress, is the greatest sniper of an evolutionary truth that only can be appreciated by a chosen few, as the rest cowardly run away in fear towards the light of their own death. Divinely guided by her strength, the only signs of survival against her predators attack have been in the form of the pellet that she leaves behind, a silent reflection of One’s fate of their own chosen path; an unfortunate truth of their own intentions from the very start. The beauty of her eyes as you find yourself lost in the haze of the window of the reflection of your own soul as you look into hers; an energy of fear and a vision of your journey that then becomes more clear. The clarity of her truth is your truth that you now wish neither of you somehow knew, because it is within that truth that One’s ying and yang come out to play. Which side will ultimately win? The burning question that seems to master your mind, not realizing that the power of choice is divinely yours and only the side of you that you feed the most will ultimately have the crown of victory in the end. The only way out of the nights shine is through the light of the Knotted Empresses Eye, as you embrace the guidance of her frequencies flow. Which path will you chose, only your Soul knows. The only advice available to give, is to meditate as if you’re bathing in the warm truth of the moon, while floating in her Oceans blue and releasing all control as your Spirit Guides direct you along the valley of the shadow of death with the silent flight of the her Night Owls Soul being your true night light.

Totem
The shaman says that all the world is balance and every creature has its place. I am still coming to understand mine. This once bothered me more than I’d like to admit. And, I envied those who seemed to know theirs. In those days I was quiet, but not yet as silent as the night. I heard, but had not yet learned to listen. I saw, but did not yet see.

How My Awakening Journey Began Part 1
Over two and a half years ago I made the decision to attend Fanshawe College in London, Ontario for their Advanced Massage Therapist program. I've never aspired to be a massage therapist, I wasn't accepted to my program of choice which was Ultrasound or X-Ray Technician. Fanshawe had the program though, the school was far enough away yet still close enough to home and I had a friend there. So it was decided that I go, try it out and hopefully one day branch over to my desired program. I'll save you the time and let you know that it never happened. I ended up dropping out at the last minute at the beginning of the second semester.

Shamanic Tales & Other Psychical Phenomena
Out of the stillness beautiful moments are quite often born, like a seed suddenly sprouting in the darkness of the earth or when you, and another, are intimately interlocked, gazing into each other's eyes realising that beyond the avatar, you are but one. If you can just stop the flow of data that is, and by data I mean thoughts.That stillness can produce almost anything. Sometimes an epiphany but normally, some image from childhood; a flashback of a heart healing scene between Mother and Son. Before the neglect, narcissism and the wounding to ones own core occured - don’t be triggered by the labelling of narcissism, we’ve all fallen into the same lake and drowned -Yet this time was more enigmatic. The third eye or the Ajna chakra as the Hindu’s would say, was dormant for most of the meditation. As I succumbed to gratitude and not frustration, out of the stillness she appeared. Firstly revealing her button black eyes. I waited in awe. Frozen. Soon after, a flawless snow white fascia came into view which made her eyes larger and even more soul consuming. She must have glimpsed my astral body way across the ethers sticking out like a broken fence post. Her white porcelain beak and orotund breast came after and finally her coverts and remiges were revealed fully spread in all their glory. Who was this marvelous creature? I’d never had a Barn Owl as a guide before. Up until now there had been Black Panthers, Andean Mountain Cats, even Bald Eagles and African Elephants but never anything as ethereal and delicate as the Tyto Alba. I remained in her stillness looking for clues and listening for answers. I asked telepathically who she was but no answer was given. My eyes continued to scan her plumage. I was drawn down to her talons; holding no mice but a note, just as I spotted it, the neatly rolled scroll unraveled and read the words I Love You. It ended with a kiss. I felt my heart beginning to open, and the list of potentials posing as their spirit animal shortened dramatically. As she hung there gently suspended in the ethers I wondered who it could be? Now, I’d been told to be visited by an Owl was a sign it was time to let your creativity flow. I was glad of the advice but still in a state of confusion as to whether an ex lover, mentor or someone I’m yet to meet. No sooner had she arrived, she had vanished, I’m not even sure if it was a she! It’s always the way in these realms whoever you meet in the ethers will never give you all the information… that would be too easy and nothing about being on earth was easy, it was simply a test. Luckily for me there wasn't even time for the frustrations of the creative process or to over think what had happened, I had work to do...

Famous Celebrities with Life Path Number X? X- 11, 22, 33, 11/2, 22/4, 33/6
Introduction: Numerology The method of calculating one’s life path number or any other numerical value which deals with concepts like destiny and personality comes under the periphery of numerology. Numerology is, as you can see, the mystical study of numbers. Pop culture and millennials have shown the prevalent impact zodiac signs and astrology have had on our generation. As more individuals grow up trying to figure out their place in this world, they come to depend on astrology and its unpredictable, yet sometimes frighteningly accurate, answers, and predictions. Keeping the before said in mind, celebrities and artists who are followed by swaths of fans are always researched on by their fans and generally by people. This is because drama and life led by these stars help us live vicariously through them. When a fan or a follower associates their celebrity with a particular zodiac sign or a life path number, they get to know more about themselves in relation to their favorite icon. The aforementioned is one of the primary reasons why life path numbers and astrology has been given so much importance in a world budding with teens whose learning is facilitated by the internet and advanced educational systems. The following is the life path number definition.
