Hello my fellow Gods & Goddesses, … yes, I’m back, more excited than ever!

Life is full of Irony, isn’t it?! Some of you may remember me originally taking lovely BlackRose magazine to a Mind, Body, Spirit Festival that was held at Brisbane in 2001… I was attempting to launch her as an Ezine… (but she was a bit before her time) and many thought it was a crazy idea back then!Wow… how ironic now…

Talk about full circle… here I am now with my first real ezine and loving the fact that I’m not using up the wood off some fabulous trees to get my message out there.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the first edition of Goddess Guru ezine.

The first of many! Like an eternal Phoenix I rise out of the ashes once again, emerging to keep living my passion, empowering the Goddess and the sacred feminine moving her ever forward into unknown futures. Never give up… persistence beats resistance I say!

In my travels recently I have had the pleasure of meeting some fantastic new international spiritual speakers and writers, many of whom you will meet soon as they are featured in future issues, so stay tuned as we grow in fame and size with an ever increasing international readership.We all have to step up and conquer the techno age or we will get left behind. I have had a ball learning about how to create this new Ezine!

As I write this, my first editorial today, it is announced on the news that Osama Bin Laden has just been killed… in Pakistan… Finally another tyrannical male out of control leader bites the dust… People power is on the increase climbing out of the dark ages and into the light. Now seeking true democracy, proper leadership, as dictatorship is no longer acceptable as the norm. Let me prophesies that there may be an uprising that will start in Pakistan /India that may escalate into war!

Many more governments may be forced to change and we will see radical shifts as these new energies rise up to meet the peoples needs. Never before has it been more important to help our world by anchoring the sacred feminine, raising the levels of spiritual consciousness within all man/womankind.We are all ascending into a new phase of being, and new ways of living. 2012 sees an end to the old ways and hails a breakthrough of new times, with a new era of consciously living. Gaia I feel will have more to say as she too births into a new era within the cosmos, so expect eruptions within her seas and islands.This will start happening very soon! As a result chaos may reign for a time initially, but eventually we will see all this serve mankind better.

Mankind must begin to see the error of its ways… Gaia will reclaim much as she erupts. My advice is if you live on a flood plain… leave, move now!

There are some wonderful features in this issue for you to feast on so grab your favourite cupa, pull up a laptop and …enjoy!

PS. I have a favor to ask you all, please test out the hyperlinks within the ezine for me and let me know if they are working properly or not, this will help me iron out any kinks as I grow in my techno expertise! Thanks in advance. Feedback is welcomed! Good or bad its all feedback and helpful as I continually review and improve content.

Many Blessings )O( S’Roya (aka Goddess of BlackRose)

ecently I had cause to realize again what it takes to have true power. I was thrown off track by an unexpected business partnership breakdown, with all the usual emotional turmoil this type of crisis brings. I had to face remaining true to my path by continuing to do what I knew was right, but this was not easy.

I had to walk my talk as a life coach and test my strengths by reviewing any weaknesses; This helped me to determine just how I wish to wield my real character, by visiting the Goddess who I had become. I had to put in practice every spiritual principal I knew, and oh boy it tested me thoroughly.

Now those that know me well, will tell you that I have always been very focused, tenacious and determined woman, very positive and willing, who did what ever it took to get the job done. Always a crusader, type A personality, wanting to right wrongs, a natural leader ready to take on responsibility. I was always ready with my sword to fight for what I believed in and this crisis brought all of this to the fore. But in times of real crisis you have to surrender to the now, and asses what’s actually going on, living daily by circumstance that is unfolding.

Your ego takes a blow or two and you have to adjust fast. Plans go out the window, as do fixed ideas of how things were going to be. It’s amazing how much we become attached to.

At first it felt like taking cod-liver oil, and the type A very determined woman in me had to just accept that what was happening was meant to be; an important lesson for me. I just surrendered; and in that surrender and letting go came ultimate trust, I engaged my true power, by relinquishing control and by observing rather than reacting. It gave me distance from the emotions that would otherwise get in the way of my decisions.

Needles to say I survived another of life’s crisis’s and have emerged to share the wisdom I have gained… Enjoy!

The Secret to Power is Using it!

Tips to acquire & keep your personal power!

1. Don’t let circumstance own you.

In other words don’t start identifying who you are with what is happening in the now, because this is fluid and will change.

Choose to be authentic no matter what is going on in your life circumstance by not allowing it to dictate your feelings about yourself.You are not the circumstances that are unfolding, you are so much more that that.

2. Remember who you truly are.

Recognise what you identify yourself as being… who are you really, when everything is gone or been stripped away? This is hard for some, as we have many things that help identify us.

For example; you are not what you do for a living, even if this gives you purpose. If your passion owns you then it’s become an obsession. Stop identifying with false things.You are not your body, but you are its keeper.You are not your career, but you are what fuels your purpose; you’re not your bank balance, or your car; or your status or public profile either. Makes you think doesn’t it!? Identify whom YOU truly are, get real and start to know this person well! Move on from self-sabotaging identities that no longer fit who you have become.

3. Let Go and Surrender to what is!

Nothing has power over you unless you think it does. Crisis is a great place to test this power out, and what we think has power over us. Often we are seduced into believing certain things or situations have power over us… well I’m here to tell you nothing has power over you or your destiny, but you! So that makes us all amazing, and truly powerful beyond measure.

Surrendering and going belly up is one of those unlimited powers, it sets you free from any perceptions as to what is encumbering you, it lets what is meant to come towards you come faster… surrender to the current of life and it will pick you up and take you to where you are really meant to be going!

Often the universe uses different energies and circumstances to change our life and shift its course, when least expected.

4. Take a step sideways or backwards to take a leap forward.

Have faith and trust that what is unfolding is okay; you do not have to be anything more or anything else to claim your power.

Sometimes we have to let go of what we have, to gain more of what we really want. How does that work you ask!? Simple, in the navigation of life we can get attached to perceived outcomes. We have become control freaks as to how things have to be, to be right for us. Being flexible and taking other routes often means we have to dodge and weave our way through life.

Be prepared to shed an old skin, or make a left turn or steer backwards to avoid something worse happening. Every now and then we will have to make radical decisions, don’t be afraid… trust your judgment, and leap.

5. Become Centered in the midst of Chaos.

When everything around you is falling down, when life is having a mini tsunami all of its own, there is nothing you can do but stop, remain calm and stay centered. Become one with the situation and let it whirl about you and you will become detached, removed from its effects upon you. We only create struggle and strife when we resist things… What we resist persists… one of the greatest lessons that I have come to conquer. So Stop… relax come back to you! It works every time.

6. Do what makes your Heart Sing.

We are happiest when we able to do what makes us happy and do what brings us joy! If it doesn’t bring you joy then don’t do it… Now I am not talking about housework or normal living day to day things that we all need to do to have health and cleanliness in our lives… I mean do what your soul likes to do for a living. Some people want to teach, others bake, while some are creative artist or builders, and some are people persons who love to be in service. Pick something that uses that part of you that feels like it is contributing to society, as we all have our role to play in the greater community… What’s yours?

Identify that by knowing what things bring you joy! Do more of that, and your real purpose will come to greet you.

7. Never give up on what you value most.

There will always be things in your life that you value more

than others. I had this tested a few times so I can say with conviction, Never, Never give up on what you believe and what you value most. Nobody can tell you what that is. For it is a personal thing to us all. We all have connections we value and family… Identify other things that you value, especially about yourself. What personal qualities do you know that you have that are valued? What skills do you posses that you take for granted that have value… Learn to value your self and never give up on YOU or what you believe in, and never give up on your dreams! We all have a unique gift to share with everyone that has value, sometimes its something so simple we miss it.

8. Set limits and create clear boundaries. a. Firstly set some limits to what you are prepared to do and don’t let anything else dissuade or seduce you into other focuses. Limit yourself to become unlimited with what you want to do! This defines your focus and doesn’t allow you to be pulled off your path. Don’t let other re-route you with their stuff! Don’t get emotionally caught up, or hung up. This is emotional intelligence, helping you to keep your focus! b. Boundaries are important for many reasons. We need to maintain our energy levels and if we have no boundaries, trust me someone demanding will make you set them.Your focus and energy levels are important therefore saying no to anything stealing yours is paramount. This is a lesson women have found hard to learn. Its not about not caring, quite the contrary, its about prioritising by choosing those that are important. Setting personal limits by saying NO is respectful. Limit yourself to become unlimited in your chosen focus.

9. Focus on what you CAN do and not on what you can’t!

Okay, here’s the thing, you can only do what you can do, and so there is little point focussing on how you’d rather things were, than the they way it is. Accept what you can do and get on with doing that. This is paramount to you succeeding, because if you waste energy in what you can’t achieve it leads to disappointment fueling any feelings of lack, and that is suicide to personal progression. Stay focused on what you can achieve with bigger plans in mind… for the future… but right now, just do what CAN be done… all else will follow. Stay focused on what needs to be dealt with now. Remember Rome wasn’t built in a day, one small step at a time creates a your pathway…

10. Make a decision and Get on with living it.

You can fix something, but you can’t fix nothing! So make a decision and get on with living it. Trust that any adjustments that need to be made, you will make, as the sequences of events begin to unfold. We can all get stuck in the decision making processes, afraid of moving forward. The universe responds to the ACTIONS we take… nothing else. If you don’t move into action it can’t respond. Thinking alone does not action make!

At some point we have to stop with the mental analysis and reasoning and let life unfold. How much time do we waste, waiting for the perfect circumstances to turn up? Begin slowly, take one step at a time, let go, trust and stay focused. Real Power will be yours when you apply all these tips regularly...

T

he Hindu Goddess, Kali~Ma, dances on the dead. She wears a garland of skulls and ferociously waves swords around her. Kali in Sanskrit means ‘kal’ or time. Her gift is the space in-between time to gain independence for Self and fulfill creative potential.

Throughout ancient history we find myths of Goddesses from different pantheons expressing their volatile emotions. So why is it in our contemporary society women can sometimes struggle to constructively release their inner most feelings around anger? Our shadow-side haunts us through the darkest night and torments us with outer situations that we continually find ourselves placed in if we do not find resolution to this vital part of our feminine selves that has been suppressed for thousands of years.

When we feel this emotion it can erupt like a volcano and may be very difficult to contain. Alternatively, anger that is not expressed safely and which is turned inward can simmer and act as poison on our spiritual, emotional, mental and physical energy systems.

In color therapy, red is connected to the life force. It challenges the emotions of assertiveness and anger. It resides in the lower chakras and relates to the ancestors, tribal connection, survival issues and personal power. Red is intense, passionate, grounding and highly energizing. On the colour-wheel the complimentary opposite is green. Green is connected to the heart chakra, and this is the balancer. The essence of green in nature is part of a symbiotic relationship with light. Light for the spirit means more space and harmony to find your heartfelt truth.

In astrology the placement of the personal planet Mars in your natal chart can give invaluable insight into how issues

of anger and assertiveness are dealt with.

Traditionally Mars is the God of War and resonates with the colour of red. In Goddess mythology you may like to see Mars in terms of Sekhmet or Kali-Ma within a chart. As with the astrological interpretation of any energy it depends on the functional and dysfunctional needs, combined with the interacting stories of other planets, aspects and transits.

Own your power Mighty One and go forth with renewed confidence and strength!

Here are some suggestions to being with: Mars in the element of air, communication is vital. Find a trusted confidante to listen to you without censorship or judgment. This provides a safe alternative so you can release pent up frustration enabling you to clear your head, take deep yogic breaths and assess the situation with more clarity.

Mars in the element of fire, call on Sekhmet to help channel the necessary release. Arch your back and roar like a Lioness. It is time to take action!

Grab your drum and go to the beach or forest. Alternatively dance it out with Kali-Ma. Try a Kundalini dance session.

Use this vital energy force for powerful transformation.

Mars in the element of earth, time to move the rising energy through your physical body. Try a kickboxing session, Zumba class, gardening (feel the dirt with your bare hands) and composting, or energetic walking. Remember our physical cells hold memories. A regular

bodywork session will be extremely beneficial.

Mars in the element of water, now just where is that anger or resentment hiding?

Is it simmering, bubbling and brewing beneath the surface? Does moodiness prevail? Establish clear boundaries with the definition of your needs. Try some art therapy, and express the subconscious emotions through color.

At the end of the day it is about finding a constructive strategy that works best for you. Transmuting anger is about rediscovering your connection to your feminine power and establishing a greater understanding of the Self. By beginning to release old patterns and blockages you become aware of ancient wounds that lie within the subconscious.

Deep transformational work with a skilled, wholistic therapist can assist with the uncovering of these old wounds as they arise for healing. Many of these intuitive, gifted therapists have been initiated Priestesses of Sekhmet in past lives and have reincarnated in this lifetime to support this particular shamanic service for the Great Cosmic Mother, by working with the mind/ body connection and the spiritual/astral realms.

So be brave and take the first step of this exploration. Allow yourself to find full expression in wholeness. The Sacred Feminine calls you to find your own truth and particular voice with immense clarity. She also reminds you to be gentle with yourself as deeper awareness can take a lifetime to unfold.

Y

ou are a Miraculous Powerful Master of healing, guidance, energy acceleration and Reality Creation.

You did not come to this planet to struggle and suffer, you are here to experience the joy, wisdom, power and love of your amazing magnificence and with this divinity and mastery, create an entirely new world of cooperation, oneness, joy, health, prosperity, light and love.

To accomplish this, we all have in our Ascension Toolboxes, the gift to create and re-create reality and the ability to shift from one reality or time-line, to another at will. We have the ability to refocus our attention on what we do want, rather than what we don’t want, and leave the old time-line of destruction, lack, unworthiness, lack, control and fear, and shift planetary consciousness and reality, to a new time-line/reality (of the New Earth) of creation, prosperity and abundance, that goes into full swing in 2012.

Free Will and Choice To create this world, we must accept this Divine Power that we all posses as individual Gods and Goddesses! The power resides in us through our consciousness, our love and our ability to channel divine light, love and frequency. And our creative control, or ability to create reality consciously, is based upon our ability to focus our attention, energy and personal will.

Where you place your attention is what you will create more of, positive or negative - it is your choice. And it is your choice, to create any reality you desire, instantly and miraculously, by creating it strongly, passionately and gratefully, within your consciousness first, then this inner reality manifests as an outer reality.

At this time on planet earth, there are huge increases in the levels of light emanating from the Family of Light, from the Light Plorkers (players/workers) and Mother Earth, that are facilitating quantum shifts towards goodness, divinity and prosperity. At the same time, there are dark forces that wish to maintain the status quo. They wish for humanity’s attention to remain focused upon fear, negativity, lack and competition, even though it should be obvious to anyone that these paradigms days are numbered. Plain and simply, this old timeline and “reality” of fear and separation is dying, and these forces of control know it, so they are working their booties off to maintain their empires of power and control by keeping us focused upon fear and lack, because they know that this attention maintains their “reality” of control, because control is all about fear, hence the continual recreation of new things to fear by the politicians, pharmaceutical companies, corporations and media to maintain their empires of greed.

Now we even have to fear exploding underwear and be X rayed or groped to make sure we don’t have nuclear undies.

Unfortunately humanity does not see the cosmic joke in this

10

GoddessGuru

| www.thegoddessguru.com |

tragic comedy of fear, the insane rampant manipulation and control by the forces of darkness is so blatant that a person has to be in serious denial to not see what is really going on here.

The point is, we do not have to play their game of fear, we can play our own game of love, fun, oneness and joy!

My Personal Plan or Let’s All Get Naked My personal plan, when I next travel in the U.S., (aka fear central), when I get up to the security screening area, is to take my clothes off, which will make it very clear to everyone that I don’t have exploding underwear, especially since I do not wear underwear. If we all get naked at the security gates, then there will be no need for anything to be feared and no need for scans of any kind… But the real point is that we need to start living life with nothing to hide – let’s all get naked, that will loosen things up a bit and take their power of control through fear away!

The truth is they have no real power, it is only a power that is given to them by humanity, who believe that they are disconnected from God, divine power, truth, love, energy, etc. and who believe that fear is real and there are bad guys out there trying to steal from us and kill us, and who feel helpless and powerless, so they give their power away to others, especially those who want power.

This is an unconditionally loving universe that has given each one of us free will and the ability, through our focus, attention and choice, to create whatever reality we desire. The forces of control don’t want us to remember this truth, and want us to continue experiencing a reality of helplessness, powerlessness and unworthiness, where we need the authorities to show us how to live. But we all know exactly how to live! We are all amazing holy divine masters, (we are not sinful creatures), and we have the divine power to create heaven in our lives and cocreate heaven on earth!

There is nothing to fear beloveds, and regardless of what reality people wish to continue creating – we have the power to choose and create another reality. Divine Will is in our hands, we have the power to unite as one and create a new world that is loving and kind, and cares for every creature, great and small.

It is time to accept your Divine Power!

Infinite blessings on your Journey of Empowerment!

o describe the color red. . . Its texture, smell, touch, imagery, and even sound would occupy a multitude of sensory defined like no other. Our illusions of the color red are gateways into the eroticism, sensuality, and affections of those feminine mysteries we so long to experience. And when we imagine the beauties of her existence, we are transformed and journey into other worlds that we have never seen before. How fascinating these lively visions, where we are able to interpret the color red as a healthy utensil, as opposed to a barrier!

12

GoddessGuru

| www.thegoddessguru.com |

W

hen we understand the color red, or even presented with in a today’s modern society, the negative connotations surrounding its “exotic” being have become prevalent. We are presented with “updated technology” which teaches us how to suppress it with the ongoing marketing of tampons, menstruation pads, birth control pills, and other types of products informing us the many ways that we can “win the battle over Mother Nature.” This natural depiction of red as a life-giving force becomes manipulated and demonized to ease the minds of those (and the social structures) who fear its mysterious nature. It’s connection with the lunar cycle, and marker as the only form of blood which comes without puncture, or causing harm to another is indicative of its existence as the epitome of sustaining and nurturing life.

Technological utensils have been utilized to create the illusion of having control over forces which can never be dominated. She is presented as a “stop sign,” or a “road blocker” in a patriarchal sense, which “inhibits” women from functioning, and continuing their daily routines,when actually, her presence is to remind women of their inherent need to re-evaluate them.

Through this form of the color red, her presence is demonized as a diseased, or artificial state, as opposed to the natural and celebratory beauty that it is meant to be. Various societies have created every other innovation of “producing life,” but intertwining and mastering the creations of life which feminine auras have already provided for us.

Then there is the physical display of the color red through attire-the sassy, silky, and sultry, red dress that we love to display. And of course, there is the

necessary additive, the wearing of the red lipstick. Songs have given praise to this “lady in red,” acknowledging her presence. However, it has become highly apparent how such has presented her in a manner where she occupies the role as temptress, seducer, and overall destruction of men. Through this particular display of the color red, we are presented with red as a destroyer. Her mysteries have become commodities, whose sole focus has been the attentions of men. The alluring nature which adorns her being is attributed to auras of sexual desire and pleasure as temporary; and whose overall goal is death. Men are warned to maintain caution with such beauties, as their primary objective pertains in doing harm. Attempts in the sexual conquest of the “lady in red,” have often been presented as one of the rare entities where symbols of patriarchy are weakened. Again, it has been removed from the continuous, and never-ending cycle of life.

The color red is actually a state where women experience true liberation.

Imagine groups of women dancing, singing, and experiencing healthy sensualities together, as they begin to experience this magnificent color. Take yourself into a world where every touch, caress, kiss, and other depictions of love towards yourself are reclamations of this archaic, feminine artistry. When that often dreaded “time of the month” comes around, wouldn’t it be fascinating if women would write poetry, sing songs, dance the most sensual and celebratory dances, eat delectable foods, perform those healthy, archaic feminine understandings of sexual eroticism, and simply enjoy the company of their fellow sisters.

Then of course, when it comes time to wear that sultry, red dress that we have

literally anticipated to wear, getting dressed up with fellow sister friends, and laughing in fascination as the wearing of the color red for each woman is actually a recognition of the different facets that the color red has to offer, oh how we are able to reclaim and re-interpret its bold presence. Like the book I Wish I Had A Red Dress, by Atlanta-based writer Pearl Cleage, we are able to understand the metaphorical cycles as to how the color red utilizes various atmospheres and energies for women to contribute in bonding and sustaining the circle of life.

Therefore, when we begin to re-evaluate our use of the color red, we can still gloss on our favorite red lipstick, twirl in our favorite little, red dress, and be excited when that “time of the month” comes along.

Only this time, we do it in a manner where we have fully celebrated each other, and celebrate ourselves. So, continue to wear, live, breathe, feel, understand, gain knowledge, and gain pleasure from the color red. She is beautiful, and it is high time that we nurture her for our own well-being.

Let us continue to journey more into this “forbidden” color, and thus, begin to imagine ourselves into these “taboo” worlds of excitement and adventure.

Wear and breathe the red lipstick ladies, and continue to leave it in the traces of footprint patterns.

elancholic whispers can be heard as she rises from within her external abyss of darkness.

Gliding upon the stage of night beneath a jet coloured sky where the onlookers are drawn in by her essence of porcelain beauty. Her blood wine lips pout ready to entrap someone into a romantic kiss of desire, passion, and nocturnal comfort. Waiting with anticipation to gently transport another into her graveyard tales of articulated poetic speech and philosophical dreams. Her hips can be seen sexily swaying through her heavily blackened hues of charcoal and obsidian clothes, with textures of lace, velvet, and fish net striking a natural pose of mystery, awe, and elegance as she floats melodiously between the shadows. Her scented skin of patchouli and vanilla waft in hypnotic circles through the air, with eyes looking out to the World through kohl dressed eyes which send shivers and goose bumps to those not familiar with her way. She is a Gothic Goddess‌

Invoking Gothic Goddesses

Goddesses of the dark teach us that everyone carries within a bipolar nature of light as well as dark, and to be within both brings balance to our mind, body, and spirit. Our shadow side should not be feared for it holds the power to remove and abolish what serves us no more. In fact, the more we try to hide it beneath a blanket of resistance, the more it will push persistent thorns into our being until it is acknowledged. It is a human trait to mask and conceal feelings of guilt and shame, but what one should realise is that the shadow side is actually healing when embraced and honoured.

Goddesses of the dark allow one to go within, to see beneath the shadows in order to awaken refreshed, revitalised, and healed.

Morgan Le Fay - Dream Bath Goddess of: enchantment, magic, sorcery, healing, faeries, and darkness.

Day: Monday night. Moon phase: Full. Tools: Bath tub.

Ingredients: Jasmine flowers, 3 drops jasmine essential oil, mugwort tea.

Beneath the light of a full Moon, this intuitive bath of jasmine flowers brings to birth prophetic dreams, perception, and a sense of all knowing, while helping one to find their true inner sexiness and allure.

To a bath add the jasmine oil and fresh flowers upon the surface of the water. Jasmine symbolises the stars of night and intuition, opening you to the Goddess Morgan le Fay. To make this bath an extra potent elixir, sip on some mugwort tea which assists your psychic mind to open and receive messages and visions from realms beyond. Say these words as you soak:

“Blessed Morgan le Fay of the night Bring forth to me intuitive sight” Go to sleep shortly after your bath and wait as prophetic dreams begin to come.

Hecate Bath Salts Goddess of: cross roads, darkness, spirits, key to underworld, the dark Moon.

Day: Tuesday. Moon phase: Waning. Tools: Bath tub, measuring cup, spoon, bowl.

Ingredients: 1/2 cup white flour, 1/2 cup sea salt, 1/4 cup dried lavender flowers.

When the Moon is waning and decreasing in size it is the perfect time to let go, release, and banish what should not be from your life. By bathing with these magical bath salts you will help to address any dark shadows of sadness, despair and guilt, bringing them to the surface like a bubbling cauldron to be cleansed, making your path ahead clear.

In a bowl measure and add all the ingredients. Mix well with a spoon. Chant the following words three times out loud while holding your hands over the mixture:

“These lavender flowers Blessed by Hecate powers For the road ahead to clear All obstacles that are near”

Queen Mab Menstruation Magic Queen Mab - Goddess of: alchemy, herbs, healing, feminine beauty, menstruation cycles, dreams, visions, faeries, and darkness.

Day: Saturday. Moon phase: Dark. Tools: Sterilised glass bottle, measuring cup.

Ingredients: 20 drops lavender essential oil, 3 fresh lavender buds, 1 cup olive oil.

During a menstrual cycle women often feel the need to withdraw, to take a step back, and to enter a mini state of hibernation. A ‘period’ of time when we reflect from the inside out and observe, while addressing our inner desires, wants, and needs. Use this oil to balance your energies, to calm and quieten the mind and hormones.

In a bottle combine the olive and lavender oils. Gently shake to mix. Next add the fresh lavender flowers. Leave on a window sill for three weeks to infuse. After which, the lavender can be strained. Empower your oil by saying these words: “As the darkened skies above meld in unison with the darkened Moon Each hiding beneath a veil of mystery and awe I wait for the next day when they rise once more The sky returning to blue, the Moon returning to illuminate the Earth Within this place I breathe, rest, and listen With the Goddess Mab by my side” Rub over your abdomen during menstruation.

Apple Blossom is a natural psychic, medium, and witch. She is also a Reflexologist practitioner, with a vast background in the study of everything spiritual and magical. Apple is a published poet and writes for many new age magazines, with a million and one ideas floating out the tip of her pen yet to share.

t was beneath the roof listening to the constant melody of rain against the roof, the candle flames flickering like Chimaera flambeaus within the poignant darkness, wafts of otherworldly streams of smoke billowing from the urns with incensed air, subtle fragrance of Greek Athos Rose that myself and a dear friend partook of old rituals akin to the Green Goddess and those fairies of Artemis. How such cunning sorceresses imbibe this wondrous arcane virtue of emerald elixir, the bitter fusion with the sweet. Brewed and steeped with beloved Wormwood ‘Artemisia Absinthium’- a potent sacred herb used in many forms of magick and medicine. Do you think this pure coincidence or are we yet to accredit this drink with the mystical properties and customs it has? Is it the drink of the Occultist and the Artist alike? Let us clarify... The ‘Absinthe Effect’ is not one of the typical drunkenness most experience when supping alcoholic beverages. Instead it is one of elegance with its idiosyncratic amalgamation of euphoria and elucidation, of inebriation and intellectuality which augment the imaginative senses: hence why is chosen by creative types; that blessed ‘Green Muse’ to awaken and enliven the languid drabness of daily life. Charles Bauldaire, Vincent Van Gogh, Aliester Crowley, Oscar Wilde, Pablo Picasso, Mark Twain, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Pierre-Auguste Renoir- they were slaves to the ‘Green Fairy’, all innovative Bohemians of sophistication, from Paris to New Orleans.

So why do we mention this in regards to magic and the Fae? Well, having studied the ingredients of Absinthe, it was easy to decipher the magickally potent herbs used to create this elixir of the arts, which makes it ideal for many uses within Witchcraft, Sorcery, Faery Magick and the Occult. Not only is Wormwood (Artemisia Absinthium) itself sacred to a number of Goddesses like Artemis, Venus, Lilith, Diana, Hekate and Isis. Blessed by the Fae who are associated with the Moon and Water- the Sidhe, the Fata Padourii and the Fatidicae.

Wormwood in Gypsy folklore and many other cultures all used Wormwood to drive away malignant forces, Goblins, the Devil, nefarious spirits of the Dead and those of the Rusalka.

Akin to most herbs, Wormwood can also be used as a baneful herb; the lovely trick again of curse and cure which always presents itself in Witchcraft and Medicine. Made mention also in 1st of the 13 Infernal Enochian keys “I bind unto my voice the strong obedience, ye first mighty Dragon of Creation, thou all powerful Lucifer, Lord Satan, who is called Wormwood…”Ordines Descendens.

The word Wormwood itself thought to be derived from Old English ‘Wermod’ meaning ‘Spirit Mother’ therefore we do consider Wormwood to be a herb of the Wild Woman and all that is Feminine. However I have discovered older sources from the Greek ‘Apsinthion’ meaning ‘Bitter’ and in ancient Egypt

cause spirits to appear. Burn with Rose Petals, Hawthorn and White Willow to open communication and visions of the Fae; both of these should only be burned outdoors only. All in all and on top of this lovely pile you may use Absinthe in libations to the Fae, namely only those of Water (Zodiac is Scoprio), Air (its ruling planet is Mars) & the Night not those of the Earth.

Earth libations would be better suited to Espiritu del Ecuador, Guignolet, Creme de Rose, or simply just milk and honeywhat can I say, I love to spoil my Faerilicious companions.

The Heart of Absinthe Tottered pon’ the moonlit way, Dew and milky louche.

Opiate wine of glowing huesBeyond a cloudy heaven.

Teach me to fly said she; with a somnolent sugar’d kiss.

And within those nightmares; Begotten to dream...

Adrift ‘pon a bitter lake of euphoric emerald; Sailing the seas of Death...

On my own sordid pillow; Where my weary heads rests ‘pon White rose petals... and... faery spells.

as a vermifuge in the Ebers Papyrus circa 1550 BC. It was also one of the ‘Sacred Nine Herbs’ given to the world by Woden, Some common names of Wormwood are: Old man, Ajenjo, Green Ginger, Sweet Annie, Old Woman’s Weed (Mugwort) and Blood of Hephaistos (in ancient Egyptian texts). It should not be confused with ‘Common Wormwood’ as that is just another name for Mugwort but also does contain the same thujone which is the natural stimulant and mind-illuminating key ingredient of Absinthe legendary for mystifying alterations of attentiveness, astute sensory sensitivity as well as intense lucidity of ideas and infinite enhancement in cognitive and inventive talents.

Wormwood also can be found in Revelations in the Bible, “And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. “ (Rev 8:10-11) Although Wormwood itself is not overly popular in the hoodoo tradition of Conjure or Root-work however has earned its place as a protective herb where travel is concerned, especially over water. In practise Wormwood has been burned as a ‘suffumigation’ (to cause materialization) with Sandalwood, Frankincense and Storax to

Other herbs recognized in Absinthe: Anise (dream), Dittany of Crete (spirits and divination), Calamus root (stimulant and visions), Star Anise (psychic visions), Fennel (mental acuity), Mint (healing and prophetic dreams), Thyme (mental clarity), Hyssop (banishing and clearing), Marjoram (passion), Angelica (protection), Coriander (mental power and psychic), Roman Chamomile (protection and prophetic dreams), Melissa (healing), Veronica/Speedwell (health), Keep a fresh absinthe glass half full of Absinthe on your altar to offer the essence to the Fae, suitable during the festivals of Beltane, the Summer Solstice, honouring the Dead, Moon ceremonies & rituals which call for divination or prophesy work. Drink a small amount to clear the senses and to promote good health. How to drink absinthe: (use only in moderation) Use a 30ml glass, lay a spoon across the rim and place a sugar cube within the hollow then slowly drip pure ice cold water over the sugar from a small pitcher, the green should gradually turn opalesque white, this is called the ‘louche’. Any reference of the ‘Green Goddess’ is pertaining to Venus herself being that her sacred colour is green and its association with the ‘Evening Star’ and Lucifer’s star the ‘Morning Star’, the emerald, which fell from Lucifer’s crown and used as one of the gems upon the Holy Grail and those of the ‘Shimmer-Folk’.

Shall this most mystic of concoctions, of purity and clarity with a touch of the madness blessed by the Moon; bequeathed the most potent and sacred of herbs to fortify, inspire and perfume the human soul with its profound Muse to awaken the chimera imaginations- of fancy, passion and vision. And as I raise a crystalline glass in honour of all that is sacred beneath the Star of Venus, my breath shall be lighter with spirit, my heart more ardent, my soul more sacred and the intellect enlivened.

“Et comme nous défaillons à la lune, nos yeux toucheront les cieux avec nos coeurs!!”.

Amber’Rose is a qualified conjure woman and root-worker of the hoodoo way & Tsalagi Medicine, who also shares a passion for the Fae and other forms of magic and high ceremonial magick.

The Magic of Dreaming Kellie Ashton

E

verybody dreams. Some of us don’t remember them, others remember vividly. Some dream in black and white, others in colour. I have recently discovered that some people (such as myself) feel pain and other sensations in dreams where as others do not. The fact that we all experience dreams differently from others is a dead give-away that dreams are extremely personal and therefore should be interpreted as such.

or significant events for example; what was the dog doing in the dream? Barking? Playing?

Dream dictionaries are a great source of symbolism, but as interesting as they can be, they can sometimes prove to be a waste of time! For example, two people have a similar dream of a dog. One person grew up surrounded by dogs as family pets; the other grew up in fear of dogs because they were attacked as a child. These two people would have extremely different interpretations of the same dream. The first person could interpret the dream to mean loyalty, companionship and playfulness whereas the second person could interpret the dream to warn of danger and violence.

Interpreting your dreams can be insightful and enlightening as it is your higher self communicating with you and guiding you. Having said this, some dreams can be just memories from a movie you have watched just before bed or an article you may have been reading just before you fell asleep. Be sure to think to yourself whether the dream you just had is your higher self speaking to you or whether it is just the last exciting episode of Heroes playing a part in your subconscious! Have fun and follow your dreams!

When interpreting your dreams, first of all write the dream down as if you are experiencing the dream as you write it.

Instead of saying “I was...” write, “I am...”.

This helps to keep you focused and connected with the dream you just experienced. Once you have written and dated the dream, highlight a few key points; things you consider important

Lastly, sit quietly and try to write down what these things symbolise to you. For example; water could mean emotion or it could mean cleansing, a death in a dream may mean an ending of a certain stage of your life or it could mean ridding of old habits.

Alchemy Where Soul meets Science...

Michael Lamb

t n e m e l E r e t a theW Water Meditation To energetically meditate on the Water Element it is important to get comfortable, either sitting in the asana posture, ie. as one normally sits in a chair or standing in a well balanced manner. To assist your imagination, close your eyes.

We imagine the Water Element completely filling our own world. A good way to do this is to image you are immersed in the Water Element, ie, the ocean, a lake or river or any body of water.

Imagine all your bodies as an empty vessel and as you breathe the Water Element into your whole being, do no more than eight breaths to begin with, but later you may increase it to twenty or thirty breaths.

As you are breathing in the Water Element see and feel it flow into all your bodies, permeating your skin and pores of your physical body, increasing the flow into your whole being. Feel your bodies filling up with water, like a water-fall overflowing through your bodies until you are completely immersed in a sea of water.

Hold this feeling and you will feel a real coldness with this Element.

We release the excess of Water Element from our whole being and transform it into another similar energy, such as joy, happiness or psychic awareness. Of course it is important to make sure to expel all excess by using the same number of breaths as we did to bring the energy in.

Michael Lamb studied at the School of Inner Knowledge for 10 years, understands and teaches kabbalah and works with colour and sound.

he Water Element represents coolness, coldness, and abundant life. It is the deep emotions and maternal part of creation. It is the key to magnetism and magnetic attraction.

It represents fluidness, harmony and all liquid states, joy, compassion, devotion and happiness.

The three Zodiac signs related to the Water Element are: Cancer the Crab, Scorpio, and Pisces, the two fishes.

c

The energies of the Water Element relate to the melancholic part of our being, the essence of our Soul, that being the emotional, astral body and subconscious.

Like our physical body, there are many types and frequencies of different fluids, so to this is reflected in our astral body and soul and becomes prevalent when we enter our dream states. The Soul is made up of many subtle astral fluids that have a relationship with the astral levels.

Practicing with the Water Element By practicing the Water Element it increases our compassion for all living things and gives forth a balance for our maternal feminine side, from whence we came – the womb of life, the waters of life; the life giving fluids of abundance within creation.

A student who practices this Element will gain knowledge and control over this Element to such an extent that they will begin to understand weather patterns in nature, such as winds, tides, rain, storms and tempests. They will begin to awaken their natural fluid harmony and become a more harmonious being with nature, society, family, relationships and work positions.

Feelings become very, very aware.

The Water Element in its higher resonations has a strong relationshiap with our Soul, our emotional body. The Water Element is the key to understanding emotions and the emotional body, that which is a large part of our Soul.

The emotional body is integrated into the astral body.

The astral body is the supreme seat of our spirit and our spirit can only express itself on the material plane through the Soul, mind and physical body.

One of the most beautiful aspects of your Divine Being and your journey in this lifetime is to learn about your Soul through feeling. By working with the elements conscientiously we develop a deep understanding of our higher selves.

Positive and Negative Water Element Emotions NEGATIVE

POSITIVE Maternal Caring Compassion Beloved Galant Observant Dynamic Attractive Ardent Determination Humorous Tenderness Concern Psychic Imaginative Warm Good hearted

CANCER

Frigidity Uncertain Narrow minded Cold Disorganised

SCORPIO

Nervousness Instability Seductive Secretive Stormy Combative

PISCES

Dreamer Neglect Isolationist Depression Shyness Superficial

This is a general list of emotions only, and by no means are they restricted or limited to these zodiac signs.

Through our astral bodies we have a deep and profound connection to our loved ones, like a mother’s intuition, knowing through subconscious feeling exactly what’s happening to her child, even though they could be hundreds of miles apart. The Astral fluid or waters of life, are so finite they are connected to all life. This brings forth the development of our intuition and psychic senses.

The difference between mental thought and a soul impression is the emotional potency of the experience.

Thoughts happen by the thousands, what happened last Tuesday in your life might not mean anything now, but the birth of a child or the loss of a dear loved one will leave a potent emotional impression on your Soul. There are many, many examples of this.

When we work with our Soul – our water body, we begin to understand subtle cycles, such as tides, movement of birds in nature, and an awareness of the moon and lunar cycles.

The water relates to the moon, like the fire relates to the sun.

Ameah ~ Shaman Eilee

What is The Crystaline Legacy?

The way of our spiritual progression

is unchangeable, but accelerating the rate of progression is permitted.

GoddessGuru

T

he Crystalline Legacy is part of the Sacred Mythonian Spiritual Teachings containing knowledge to assist the people of earth in their quest for spiritual ascension. The way of our spiritual progression is unchangeable, but accelerating the rate of progression is permitted. Within each living life form there exists an aspect connected to the Divine Source of All That Is that is common to all. This is the sacred crystalline energy we possess that is stored in nodes along our meridian lines and contains our personal data, that becomes activated naturally through our earthly evolutionary spiritual progress.

This transference of data from our crystalline nodes to our inner memory, where it can be accessed, has been occurring naturally from the moment we were born and has been so since the birth of all life and is not changed and cannot be changed.

As Spiritual Beings here upon earth in human form to further our evolvement, our collective consciousness is of positive and negative energy dedicated to the eternal quest for total polarity. When this is achieved Light and Dark become One Love in service to All. Mankind has a collective mission upon earth to attain a certain level of polarity destined to aid the expansion of universal energies expected to conclude in the year 2012.

However, the energy generated upon earth radiating out into the cosmos will not reach this, therefore, the Spiritual Hierarchy decided an escalation of this natural process was needed in order those within the solar area of the universe could integrate atmospheric changes currently taking place without catastrophic reactions. Children born during and after the year 1992 consist of energy that is a different vibration to

those born before them who require a corresponding vibration in order to feel at ease in their environment. They will feel this difference and may not respond to older people with harmony and will not have an understanding of why this is so. Changes within our universe do affect us and our planet upon which we live and this is not knew, nor will it ever cease. However, never before has lunar and solar systems within the universe melded. Already our scientists are aware of changes in our planets climatic conditions. The older generation needs to prepare our energy field so we may more readily accept those changes and be as one with all upon our planet. We all have a purpose in this life and are equipped to carry this out through our physical form, mental attributes and inherent spirituality. We continue our eternal spiritual evolvement through the free will of our life experiences, but to assist us we have at our disposal the natural ability to access personal information that will heighten our awareness of our innate abilities. By the simple method of viewing Imagery Grids this is automatically set in place, as coded data stored within your crystalline aspect is transferred to your inner memory, so it may be accessed and bring forth your greatest strengths, that will ensure you are prepared for the result of the unification of planetary lunar and solar energies, enabling you to realize your fullest potential as your natural creative abilities and connecting with your spiritual brethren will be heightened.

Within the history of Earth there have been many events within the universe requiring changes to maintain our polarity with all. Each man, woman and child is born of a loving spiritual energy that is infinite and connects us to our Creator, which sustains our physical

body, brings calmness to our mind and nourishes our Soul. Through our crystalline legacy our personal spiritual knowledge can be accessed in order to guide us when changes occur in our life, whether they be through experiences for personal growth or those required for the collective growth of all people.

The teachings within the Crystalline Legacy combines scientific knowledge and spiritual guidance, thus offering a way of obtaining optimum health along with a sense of spiritual oneness with our world and all who inhabit it. As a natural progression of this we move closer to wholeness within ourselves, helping to create peace on Earth as we share all we have with others, thus renewing timeless bonds of love and caring that extends beyond this life we know, to those of lives we have but forgotten.

As Earthbound Spiritual Beings of Love and Light we play our part in ensuring the Sacred Rites of Passage for those who follow. Hence, the importance of awakening, activating and restoring this vital aspect of our Spiritual Self.

Through doing so you will not only access your individual data that assists your life mission, but the change created in your energy field will correspond to the vibration future generations will recognize as the Loving Unified Energy of our Sacred Eternal Mother, Cheylia’ ... Creator of all life. Thus, harmony will prevail between generations and pave the way for mankind to co-create peace on earth, for this is the collective mission and the challenge for all who dwell upon earth.

T

he magic and promise of love has inspired painters, poets and musicians for eternity. The whole world loves lovers and it would have to be the most talked about topic around the world. It infects us all to some degree most days, even though we don’t notice. Whether it’s a conversation, an article, a song or advert - the whims of what the energy of love generates within the heart of humanity seem to totally surround us. Like it or hate it, we are all at the mercy of the love bug and we all get bitten every now and then - hopefully for a lifetime, but oh, what it does to us.

In the throngs of love and deep-seated passion we forget our cares and woes and dive deep into the mouth of love only to stay but for a few moments to surface yet again into the reality of life. And don’t we love it, the intoxication, the passion and the obsession. It’s the tears and deep emotions that love dishes up - that keeps us going back for more. There is a certain magical chemistry that attracts couples to be together, and then there’s that magical moment when you both know you’re in love with each other.

Love magic calls upon the elements, symbolism, some tradition and the senses to stimulate the subconscious and connect with the forces of the divine. Nothing takes place that is not of divine will. In using magic for love it is wise to prepare yourself, but most of all enjoy the fun of it. Love comes into our life to enhance it and fill it with joy, so be joyous.

There are many ways to encourage love; even something so simple as the preparation of food can be used. As you cook burn your favourite oil, light a candle and chant or sing as you prepare and cook the meal. A simple chant like “Aum mani padme hum” (hail to the jewel in the lotus) is effective. There are some traditional drinks that are considered aphrodisiacs.

Mistress of the Ways Michele-lee Phelan

Mistress of the Ways Michele-lee Phelan

F

or many years now, I have had visions and dreams of a horned woman. She is ethereal, otherworldly, strong, powerful, awe-inspiring, and obviously not human. She walks the lands of dreaming, the ley lines, and the realms in between worlds and realities. Her essence is woven into many of my artworks and echoes of her voice can be heard in my poetry and short stories.

But who is she really?

For a time, I researched in order to learn more about her so I could make her more tangible when it was time to share her story with others, but the path before me remained misty with only fleeting references uncovered. Every time I sought answers to my questions, the mist would thicken and my progress would cease.

Although fascinated by the concept of ‘Journey’, I failed to see a connection between my love for the creative process, for the manifesting of goals and creations - the journey and this mystical energy who watched over my dream and waking states. I recognised her importance, but I did not understand her significance until last year when one stage of my life journey eddied and swirled towards an ending.

I came to understand that she does not wish to be named.

She is more than a name. She is to be known, but also remain unknown – a part of the Great Mystery. Our journeys, the paths we are yet to walk, are shrouded in much the same manner. We are given glimpses of potential futures, but we are never shown all for the future remains shrouded in mystery.

While I have great respect and reverence for Gaia (the Earth) and Great Spirit (the Source), I worship no entity. My interaction with the energies who come to me has always been that of the child soul seeking wisdom from the elder soul, or as a medium.

So she is nameless. For ease of communicating her message, I have chosen to refer to her as the Mistress of the Ways.

Who is she? She is goddess, angel, and dragon; both guide and protector of those who journey, who walk through this world aware of how their choices and actions guide their steps.

They come to instruct and guide, whilst I listen, and I learn.

They come to me to so that I may paint their likeness and imbue it with their message, and still I listen, and I learn.

Other than Gaia, I have not sought a patron goddess for many years, but when the subject of ‘Elen of the Ways’ was raised in conversation that I found my attention snared and my heart skipping a beat. I was intrigued when it was revealed that the Celtic goddess, Elen, was often depicted as a horned goddess. She is the said to be protector of all spiritual, mental, and physical pathways, and of those who walk them. She is, in essence, the goddess of Journeys.

Elen, or the soul energy who is named Elen, is the woman of my dreams and visions. She has watched over me all of my life. With every step I have walked - the physical, the emotional, and the spiritual - she has been there at my side.

Like many of those called gods, she plays more than one role, and has many faces. She is deemed a minor goddess of the Celts, and yet she is also the Roman goddess Jana, wife of Janus, and glimpses of her can also be seen in Diana the Huntress.

Working through Gaia and Great Spirit, she sends messengers with signs and wisdom meant to guide.

Sometimes her message is one of affirmation for the right choice or action, and at other times they serve to show a way around the obstacles we place in the path before us.

She is the goddess of change and transformation.

Our life journey is made up of many steps and stages. Every step and stage brings forth new lessons, and every new lesson brings forth change. Once a step forward has been taken we will never again be the person we were before taking that step. We are transformed.

It is important that we respect our journey and that we take the time to acknowledge and celebrate the lessons learned, and the growth of our past. However, there also comes a time when we need to close the door upon our past and turn our face to the future; a stage of our journey has come to an end and looking back only serves to prevent or inhibit our forward momentum.

A

s one stage comes to an end, you may find yourself feeling rushed, stressed, drawn into conflict, or surrounded by drama as the energy both within and around you enters into a natural state of transitional flux. Again, this is part of the process.

You will be challenged to look within and decide who you are, who you wish to be, and what changes you must make in order for that wish to be fulfilled. Do not hesitate. Now is the time for you to put your goals, hopes, and desires before those of others.

Relax. Surrender and allow yourself to go with the flow.

Express and release your feelings in a productive manner when there is need. The chaos around you will only increase if you resist or attempt to control and shape the change that comes.

When you reach one of the Mistresses’ doorways, you will be asked to let go of all illusion and façade. If you have looked within, have learned your lessons well, and overcome your fears and doubts, this will be a process well begun.

Now is the moment when you discover strength in being vulnerable, for you will be asked to strip naked and step through the doorway free of all but your faith and trust. All else must be left behind you, acknowledged, learned from, but no longer a burden for you to carry.

GoddessGuru

| www.thegoddessguru.com |

The Mistress asks that I share, with both my words and my art, the knowledge that she is there at your side throughout this process. Know this and put your fears aside. Trust that all happens, and has happened, for a reason, even if that reason is shrouded in mystery.

Every choice you make, your every action creates the future that awaits you on the other side of the doorway. Embrace and trust that you have created a future that is perfect.

Look. Listen. Watch the world and the people who flow in, and out, of your circle.You will discover that your journey, whether it be an emotional, spiritual, or physical journey is one that you need not, and in fact do not, walk alone.

The Mirrors of Purity Ammalouithe

I

have many memories of being a little girl, trying with all my might to communicate with an adult and simply being picked up and whirled about, or squeezed tightly, in a crude attempt at connection or acknowledgement. Why is it that a small child with something to say is often demeaned to simply being sweet and entertaining? Similarly, why is a companion animal or ‘pet’ so often patronised and assigned the role of plaything?

When we come into contact with a baby, a child or an animal, and apply the word ‘cute’; we are really looking into a mirror; reflecting what is purest about ourselves.

Being presented with a reflection of our original selves seems to provoke a certain response; that of a spirit having a very human experience. In our body-conscious state, we feel as if we must act on this feeling - the reflection - the reminder of our purest state of being.

The child, the animal, who is unrestricted by societal conditioning, who looks around in awe, who does not adjust their words, voice, facial expressions, movements, to be compatible with the social situation; the Being closest to that which is pure in this material world, resonates deep within us.

So we who are in a body-conscious state are overwhelmed by the feeling, calling it cute, adorable, gorgeous. We scoop up the child, squeeze the animal, are transported back to primeval states and make corresponding primitive noises - the ones that only otherwise come about in states of ecstasy or pain.

We assume control over this intensity of resonant emotion by physically restraining the being and holding it tight, or fighting our urge to do so. This concept of ‘cuteness’ is coined for this body-conscious state of being unable to welcome and simply be in this blessing of meeting - face to face - a divine facet of our original selves.

This inability deprives us of truly receiving the subtle messages these Beings can bring; connection with the purity within us.

The soul-conscious person does not need to act on this feeling, to ascribe definitions to it, or to interfere with the Being holding the mirror. The mirror reflects the Divine; the feeling is not of being overwhelmed or out of control, but one of profound joy and gratitude, deep Love for having had this external reminder of the internal Original State.

Energy Imbalance

Your solar plexus (third) chakra found just above the navel or in your upper belly, is the place to start looking for imbalances in power issues. A good healthy solar plexus will ensure your confidence, self-worth and the ability to bounce back is good-to-go. However, if the chakra is weakened or becomes unbalanced, you experience physical symptoms, such as digestive problems, gallstones and indigestion. What happens spiritually is that you can fall into the victim role, unable to say ‘no’ or stand up for yourself.

Relight Your Fire

There are many ways to recharge your personal power so that you have the strength you need to get the best out of your life. Different things work for different people so make sure you try a few things until you know what works best for you. For many people, it’s as simple as avoiding caffeine. Dehydration can also make your thinking confused and unclear. Whenever you’re in doubt, take lots of deep breaths, open the windows wherever you are and get a good lungful of fresh air. Better yet, step outside and take five minutes to relax. Something as simple as fresh air can work wonders to help clear your head.

Positive Statements

Write down any negative or worrying thoughts that are bothering you, as seeing them down on paper can often make the difference between realising whether your fears are rational or not.

GoddessGuru

Turn your ‘fear’ thoughts into positive statements of intent and say them out loud at least three times a day: “I am calm, confident and in control of my thoughts and feelings.”

“I am safe and protected at all times.”

“I am the power in my own life.”

“I choose my own destiny.”

I am good enough, exactly as I am.”

Use your anger

Take your P ower Back!

Anger is a totally na tural response whe n your needs aren’t being fulfilled or if your rights to a ha ppy, stimulating lif e aren’t being met.

Getting angry gets things done. But if you aren’t assertiv e with your anger, it can lead to ineffect ual behaviour – either becoming a bully or blowing up with out any thought of why or how. If you never express your anger, you might re sort to manipulatio n to get your needs met (while secretly simmering with re sentment.)

Create a yummy br avado-boosting incense blend with : - frankincense - benzoin - dragons blood - orange peel - rose petals Now, choose a tim e just before the full moon, form yo ur Magick circle in whatever way w orks for you, burn the incense and be very still. Imagine a warm ball of sass-fi lled bravado within you, gathering behi nd your navel and gradually spreadin g outwards so the whole of your body feels positively warm and glowing.

Learn to laugh at life: If you can poke fun at whate ver it is that’s mak ing you upset or angry, then you will have reclaimed your po wer. Also, don’t ta ke yourself too seriou sly. If you can have a laugh at your ow n shor tcomings, th at will be a good natu ral boost to your se lfesteem.

Change

I

heard a saying “A bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you fail to make the turn”.

Change is the only guarantee we have in life and it happens to all of us. But it’s only a bend! Whether it’s family, career, physical, a new location or any other change that can occur, life continues.

One of the keys to dealing with change well that I’ve found is that we should never fear it. I know that’s easier said than done.

But really what alternative do we have?! Refuse to continue our journey!? Life is too beautiful to forfeit. Learning to accept it and challenge ourselves to adapt and grow from the situation is the first attitude that we need to adopt. The second is we need to be gentle on ourselves. Don’t assume these things take only moments to conquer. Take the pressure off yourself and realize it may take a little while to adjust to the new landscape of your life. Every situation is unique and all of us have to face changing and sometimes very difficult times. It’s comes with life. The more we learn from change and embrace it the better we are able to handle it when faced with it.

One of the best skills a person can learn in life is the art of change and there are some distinct stages that we need to recognize. Denial - this is not happening to me stage, Uncertainty - fear of the changed situation, or Acceptance - when we accept change and begin to look forward again.

In knowing these stages we begin to cope with change more

When we reach Acceptance, things begin to get exciting. Instead of denying the change or worrying about it we decide to take an action towards it. There is nothing worse than unfocused activity, so what do you do? I found my answers always come out of silence before action. Pray, say and do!

It’s in a non-active state of mind we begin to find answers to questions and start lifting the veils, exposing what we need to do next, so our lives can flourish again not stay in a surrendered state. And this is being quiet long enough to hear your spirit speak. Listening to your little voice (our heart connection to God) and when the solution presents itself, then you can move forward. This takes practice, but we gain strength, courage and confidence the more often we approach our experiences this way. Each time we’re faced with change we must take the risk eventually to move forward again with our new chapter. We begin to feel how great it is to triumph over Change.

Change helps us grow in almost every area of our lives and while it isn’t always easy it provides us with an invaluable improvement to our character. Something I always remind myself as I go through any of life’s changes is “this too shall pass”. This helps me because I know whatever may be going on it’s only for a season and I can overcome it and be a victorious spirit, soul and body with my changed attitude toward it.

The simple feeling of the sun on my face, the smell of the sea, the sound of the waves and of my gentle breathing is simply magical.

Simply Magic!

Kali Cox

Getting back to basics for busy witches 36

GoddessGuru

A

House Witches work is never done. My two minute meditation whilst elbow deep in the dishes I had successfully been putting off all morning, has been cut rather abruptly to one minute, 37 seconds by my youngest son-minus underpants, hurtling down the hallway in hot pursuit of his now hysterical older brother, wielding the remnants of a half chewed carpet covered muesli bar, and what remains of my hand-made crystal wand. (Note to self, continue remaining 23 seconds of meditation behind locked toilet door of solitude later on..)

Sound familiar? Many of us now in this day and age are working more, lifestyles become busier, and we lose that sense of self, of spirit and of time to immerse ourselves in the magical quiet and just BE. Cassandra Carter says: “ Magic is ultimately in you, not in charms, spells, words and things. Magic isn’t something you do, it’s something you are at every waking and sleeping moment. It breathes with your every breath. It is found in the way you live, the things and people and animals that surround you and support you.”

Magic can be as simple as a ‘thank you’ blessing before bed, an affirmation first thing in the morning, a vase of your favourite flowers on the table, lighting a candle, dancing under the full moon, absorbing the warmth of the sunshine, taking a

bath, cooking a meal for your loved ones, wearing your favourite crystal, burning your favourite incense, getting down and dirty in the garden, creating your own essential oil essence or a few minutes of meditation each night before sleep.

So many of us “don’t have time” for magic and this sentiment is reflected widely amongst many people I encounter. This little Witchy Girl decided to take the Unicorn by the reigns and make time to re-acquaint myself with Spirit again, with the simplicity that is magic in all of it’s many forms, and reclaim my sense of self again.

So, in the interest of regeneration, solitude and an appreciation for the gentle melody of the bay gently lapping at the sand and inspired by my friend Shel. I happened to mention to my husband, Domestic God, just in passing, that I should really get up early (the very thought sends me running and screaming and waving my arms hysterically) and get back into my walking practise, enjoy the bay, enjoy the sunrise, the peace etc.

Body took it literally, for the first time ever, and had me awake at 5, even before my youngest son, 5 days before scheduled start date..

“What is the problem with this? “, I hear you ask. “My body wouldn’t do that!?”

Well, it’s just that I am not a morning person..( she says, contemplating rising with the birds in the interest of

regeneration..) Once I am awake, I like the peace, the beauty, the birds in full chorus, but getting me awake, begrudgingly, c’mon body; please, please, pretty please, give me one more sleep in, let me get through the weekend and then you can motivate me for ever!

Needless to say, after my second week, the sunrise is a blessing, the ocean is peaceful and my meditation in the sand is wonderful, once I learn how to completely tune out dog coughing up a fur ball, and the step-click of a grandfather with a cane-who also outwalks me on the boardwalk above me. The simple feeling of the sun on my face, the smell of the sea, the sound of the waves and of my gentle breathing is simply magical.

There is something inherent in me that delights in the simplicity of connecting with the elements and harnessing their gentle caress, to go about my day. It’s like wearing your favourite underwear; you feel great, and nobody knows you’re doing it!

The weeds of being time poor have been pulled, and new little seeds have been planted. They now need nurturing, love, tender care and space to grow to be blooming, fulfilled and happy.

Nurture yourself, nurture your dreams, find your spirit again; even just for a few minutes at night before you close your eyes, tend to your garden. The rewards are priceless.

A

woman’s creativity is an expression of her soul.

Creativity allows a woman to access a unique, magical part of herself not always available to her in the day to day grind of everyday life. As a creative Goddess she’s inspired, energised, alive with joy and purpose, ready to face the world empowered and full of possibility Creativity is available to us all. It’s a natural gift all women have. Sadly too many women close off from this gift, finding it a challenge to express themselves creatively. Creativity is not limited to artistic expression. It’s the way you express your unique, amazing self, how you are in the world and how you are inside. It’s the way you connect with others, the way you reflect, birth new ideas and projects, dream, share, celebrate, embrace, communicate and more; it is how you bring your dreams to life. It’s how you think about and express the unique individual aspects of yourself that make you who you are

GoddessGuru

I believe Goddess is one of the most genuine expressions of creativity. Examples of Goddess creativity are found across many cultures. I’ve always been inspired by the creative possibility found in the stories of Goddesses. I draw on these stories in my work with other women, teaching them how to embrace and leverage their delightful and empowering creative Goddess selves in their lives and businesses.

One of my favourite creative Goddesses is Ixchel, the mayan moon Goddess. A master weaver, Ixchel shows us how to weave our creative magic through the threads of life to create inner healing and personal magic. Supported by the dragonfly she is a master at guiding us to the place beyond this world, to a place within where we can freely and joyously discover, explore and harness our own authentic creative expression.

When I read the stories of Ixchel I am vividly reminded of the incredible power within a woman when she dares to dream,

To help you experience IxChel’s magic and creative guidance here’s a few tips that I hope inspire and support you on your journey to discover and unleash the creative Goddess within!

• Be inspired by the beauty of nature.

IxChel loved thundering waterfalls, brightly coloured rainbows and lush vegetation.

• Set aside a sacred creativity space at home or in your office that inspires you. Keep it well lit and full of fresh air. Take time daily to go there to reflect, breath and create.

• Keep a statue or image of dragonfly in your creative Goddess sacred space to remind you of your ability to transcend to the creativity within to find the healing and magic you need each day. Dragonfly is all about moving beyond the illusions we see before us.

• Remember to be flexible and free.

Ixchel was a shape-shifter and could turn herself into a sleek, strong jaguar, able to glide past the challenges that faced her to a place of safety.

As a weaver IxChel was able to weave her way in and around situations to create the best outcome for herself . the immense resilience when she dares to believe in herself, and the infinite possibility that lies within her ability to create.

Ixchel is the creative Goddess I have at my side when I explore what it means to be the creative Goddess of my own life and business.

F

or first time users tarot can seem complicated – but once you learn the basics and familarise yourself with the cards it can become so much easier. Quite simply, tarot is a set of 78 cards, divided in two sets: the major arcana and the minor arcana. The major arcana contains 22 cards and primarily depicts major archetypes like death, temperance and the fool. The minor arcana is based on the traditional playing card deck of 52 cards. In it are the four suits; pentacles (or disks), cups (equal to hearts), swords (spades) and wands. Each suit has 10 numbered cards, ace to 10, plus the four court cards. These are page, knight, king and queen. Some but not all tarot decks have picture images on each of the numbered cards.

Tarot was thought to be unearthed in the late Middle Ages and appeared in Italy. They first developed into a set of cards depicting virtues, like strength and temperance. They then developed into more elaborate sets of different number of cards and different order of the cards.

Tarot is an excellent medium for artists and over the centuries, and especially in the last 50 years, many artists have given their own unique view to the cards.

Amanda Hall’s Simply Tarot aims to teach people how to use the cards to enhance and enrich their lives. With Simply Tarot you follow a simple, foolproof method of tarot reading, which Amanda has taught for more than 30 years. It was created to bring the needs of the tarot message into the 21st century with particular attention to detail to convey the right symbology in the imagery of the Rider Waite Tarot Cards 40

Q&A Dear Amanda, I have been in business for over 10 years and made many changes in that time.Will I survive as it is very slow now?

Michelle - Egypt Dear Michelle With definite money restrictions around your business it is a time of great indecision and tossing ideas backwards and forwards with the help of a close friend will help. They will suggest some new ideas that could make things turn around very quickly. There will be the opportunity to form a partnership or an association with a man with brown hair down and brown eyes. He can be quite cold and abrasive, in his mannerisms, but it is this determination that is going to be needed to make the changes necessary to turn the business around.

amanda hall Now we need to focus all our attention on the serious side and look at the legal ramifications of commencing the business.

We need to assess very carefully, whether it is the right time and location now for such a project to be successful. The two of you have overcome tremendous obstacles and frustrations in your quest to make this happen. A shortage of start up capital and other critical issues we are still juggling around to find solutions to. This does not seem be the right time to contemplate such a venture. There needs to be more research before proceeding forward.

After a lot of careful thought and deliberation of what information you are going to share and teach your students the course will come together.You believe your biggest challenge will be to teach people how to restore love and balance back into their lives.

Traditional Faery Amber Rose

Witchcraft

An original prospective

T

he most unique aspect about Traditional Faery Witchcraft is the fact it recognizes the energies and impacts of the elements around us, the changing seasons, our relationship with the trees, soil, water, stones, sea, the earth and sky. In other words, we work with nature itself, the harmonies, and mysteries, the ecstatic energies, which thrive within and around us constantly, the tempest of storms, the warming and vibrancy of the morning, the glorious rainbow-imbued sunset that brings forth the tranquility of darkness. It how all of these beautiful and natural actions, cause our reaction within moods and how they affect our lives uniquely; how we balance ourselves and connect with everything around us.

Through the shimmer of alternating realities, we discover the ‘Shimmer Folk’ have inhabited the elemental essences of this earth since the very beginning of time, old and as vast the Primal Void itself. Imbedded into the principle of the Fae is a perceptive and multifaceted, multi-layered reverence for the earth and all of her bounties, knowing no boundaries.

Ideally there are no deities or Goddesses worshipped though some are strongly connected by legend, folklore and history.

The Fae have no need of Gods, Goddesses or Patrons, instead veneration for the Ancient Divinities of the Earth, Sea, Sky and Fire are more suitable for the Fae are energies of their own and totally separate from pantheons of Greater Beings. Instead we identify the Ancients by the substances which help form and birth all life, breathing quintessence into objects; a sense of ‘soul’ or ‘spirit’ if you will.

Deep within the Faerie Tradition the natural body, mind, heart and soul of the human form is considered beautiful, divine and powerful; that they are not born inherently malicious, evil or bad. When born we all have the innocence and accolade of choice. We do not answer to the laws of any omnipotent Gods, instead we answer and account for our own actions, and therefore we take accountability for our self and our behaviours. If one cannot take this responsibility into their own hearts, they do not truthfully walk with the Fae, or the Fae existent within their lives. Principles extend from the

Amber’Rose is a qualified conjure woman and root-worker of the hoodoo way & Tsalagi Medicine, who also shares a passion for the Fae.Visit her blog http://southernsorcery. blogspot.com/

antediluvian chronicles describing the Fae as falling from a realm far beyond the effervescent shimmering stars, beyond the barriers of the Primal Void and into this world. This exact mythical and enigmatic race came to be known as the Tuadha De Dannan, or alternatively the Folk of Dana. These were distinguished individuals, flaxen of beauty with alabaster porcelain skin; lustrous with the golden radiance of the stars and moon above.

Curiously these legends resemble the stories of ‘The Light Bearer Lucifer’ and his Fallen Angels exiled from the heavens, colliding with the stars in showers of coruscating rhombus prisms. Remember the old folklore of shooting stars soaring across the firmament as being another of Heaven’s Host plummeting from towering zeniths. The Fae are chaotic beings, this does not mean they are evil, but their alignment is diverse and typically beyond our comprehension. Their behaviour changes as nature itself changes, from calm and serene to wrathful and tempestuous.

One should never fear the Fae, many do not set out to physically harm or be callous towards humans, some old wives tales reflect that our world is too lamented for them to bear, that we have somewhat lost our way and in a turbulent world we have to expect nature to act in the same fashion. However, working with the Fae can be a beautiful experience when all factors are considered and your heart and mind is fully open to their energies, wisdom and ways. Traditional Fae Witchcraft moves in untamed spirals, moving and gyrating constantly with the wildness of nature, connected and dynamic.

There is no requirement to cast circles, the Traditional Witch nor the Fae believe in being incarcerated within boundaries, we walk between realms not stand at the threshold fearful of the outside. The Earth realm is our key into all other realms, why create walls upon walls in order to cross or walk the liminal, if you think about it- it really does not make a lot of sense. To create sacred space... a quandary and rhetorical question; is not the earth a Witch walks upon already sacred? We walk in the ways of nature, in reverence for all things, the soil, the stones, the grass around us, already connected, in an eternal spiral?

Ways to Draw the Fae into Your Residence & habitat!

Be wary, once invited, they may never depart.

1. Spend time in nature, meditate in the place of your preferred element, i.e.: in the forest, at the edge of a lake, on the beach, on the top of a hill.

2. Partake in a hobby which brings out your creative side, you may be surprised in what your imagination may bring out, dance, paint, draw, sing or play an instrument. [Don’t be discouraged if you think your creation isn’t good enough, the Fae appreciate the arcane and unusual].

3. Keep your home and property relatively clean, the Fae do not like clutter or mess, in fact their kingdoms are exceptionally organized and opulent. Mess and clutter is more likely to attract the likes of Brownies, Goblins and Hobgoblins and not the more desirable types. However leave a part of your garden grow wild- the Fae are creatures of the Wild, they are not domestic.

4. Place the fossil sea urchin called Echinite on your altar dedicated to your household Fae. These summon Fae assistance and offer them sanctuary.

5. Never leave fiscal offerings, the Fae have no use for moneya thimble of your chosen beverage, milk or absinthe (the love Wormwood), a little honey biscuit, faux pearls, moonstone,selenite,clear topaz, labrodonite, zircon,

Hand-blown bottle- Exquisite Czech Bohemian glass bottles are perfect!

INGREDIENTS: 4 parts ground and powdered Moonstone 3 parts ground and powdered Clear Quartz 2 parts ground and powdered Mother of Pearl 1 part ground and powdered Obsidian & Onyx 1 part ground and powdered Garnet or Ruby Dried Miniature Rose Buds x 3 Pinch of Sugar (which ‘feed’s the magick) 1 small Crystal Clear Quartz Point 4 drops of Rose Otto or good quality Rose Essential Oil or Water 2 drops of Jasmine 1 drop of Lily of the Valley or Narcissus

6.

7.

8.

9.

lemuria, aurora crystals, faery sugar, glitter-reflective things which they may marvel and adore.

Laugh often- Remember your inner child.

Be generous in your dealings with others. Respect life (this does not mean you have to be a vegetarian). Respect your environment.

Have plants inside and outside your house that the Fae revere: Four’o’Clock, Sweet Rocket, Dame’s Violet, Wormwood, Tobacco Plant, Sweet Grass, Gardenia, Peony, Apple Trees, Jasmine, Night Jessamine, Beans, Blackberry, Boysenberry,Youngberry, Grapes, Hawthorn, Foxglove, Poppies, Evening Primrose, Thyme, Moonlight Grevillea, Melaleuca, Kangaroo Paws, Hibiscus, Willow, Elderberry, Lilly Pilly, Marshmallow, Mugwort, Snow Peas, Marigold and Roses. For a special Fae night garden use strongscented white flowering plants- it will look mystical and enchanting in the moonlight.

Be liberal with chimes and bells, most Fae do not like them because they are their own ‘bell’ and the sound frequency may be similar to that of conflicting alignment. Cold iron or wrought iron gates can make the Fae feel drained and weaker in its presence. Which is somewhat disturbing when 95% of the world’s metal consists of iron including colourbond fences. The old style horseshoe nominated for good luck in folklore is considered so because it was superstition that Faeries and Witches brought bad luck.

Faery Dust

T

Not to be confused with glitter or the Faery dust you can buy at the stores.

his may be used to anoint candles, consecrate tools, a pinch added to make-up for a magickal Faery glow, protection of the Fae, added to potions, formulae, sachets, dream pillows, Faery glamour conjures, and ritual perfumes for an enchanting magnetism.

Use small crystal chips; carefully grind them in your mortar and pestle during the twilight hours until they are reduced to a fine powder. Pour into a crystal bowl; gradually add the oils to the mixture, use more or less to what suits your preference of scent, stir only with a silver spoon. Carefully use a funnel or filter to pour the powder into your bottle, add the miniature rose buds and Clear Quart Point (which should be infused by the essence of the Moon or soaked in Moon Water the night prior). Using a natural wax candle, typically this should be beeswax seal the bottle and store outside beneath the moonlight, starlight and in the darkness where no unnatural light may touch it. This should be left out and taken in before the morning light hits it and repeated during the entire course of a moon phase, usually three or four days.

Remember to always BELIEVE & Happy Sprinkles

Finding Fairies ...

... at the Bottom of your Garden!

B

eautiful gardens take patience, care, proper soil, and above all, love. Every witch with a garden will agree with this. What many forget, however, is that the bond you have with the fae in your garden is just as important—if not more so—than the bond with your plants.

The fae of your land are the ones taking care of your plants when you are not. The value and service they offer is important to recognise and honour.

Landsvar, devas, fairies, pixies, the names of the fae who reside in domestic gardens are numerous. Whatever you name them, or whatever your beliefs, a close relationship with the fae can enhance your garden’s health and productivity. In this day and age, large gardens or even large yards are something of a luxury. This shouldn’t stop you from creating a garden of your own. Herbs that are grown for magical purposes will undoubtedly have a stronger resonance and perform better if home grown. Vegetables and fruit will always taste better when raised by your hand. Most herbs and vegetables can be grown in pots or container gardens quite successfully. If you are low on space, stick to those herbs or vegetables you use most often.

Where there is plant life, there is fae. There are probably a myriad of spells and rituals designed to draw fae to your land or garden, but they are not really necessary. Nature fae are attracted to just that, nature. When you bring plants into your yard, you are in fact inviting the fae along as well.You may not notice them at first, but they are there.

Developing a bond with your fae can be as simple or as difficult as you’d like to make it. Offerings are a brilliant start. The traditional offering of the fae is wine, milk and honey. Should you not have these on hand don’t let that stop you. Any offering, provided it is given with the intent of creating a bond and honouring the fae will be accepted. Setting up a table to use as an altar will provide you with a space for laying your offering.

A simple rite of offering can include lighting a candle on your altar, starting your intent to honour the fae, and partaking of the offering. Leave the offering on the table for the fae.

Offerings will begin a bond of mutual respect, but to truly connect with the fae, further steps are required. Meditating in your garden, with the purpose of connecting with the fae can

strengthen the trust between you. They will come to see you as a reliable figure in the garden, and you will become familiar with their presence.

The absolute most important thing you can do to strengthen the bond you share with the fae, is to actually take care of the garden. No amount of offerings or rituals will bring you the friendship of the fae if you are completely negligent of the plants they are there to care for. Planting the herbs, flower or vegetables in the soil and walking away is not enough. Pulling weeds, checking for and removing pests, and regular watering may sound like mundane tasks, but they are vital to the health of your plants. Keeping your garden fit and beautiful is a large part of maintaining the relationship with the fae.

A ritual comprising of both offering and meditation can be beneficial. Try the following ritual at the full moon. Gather together three small bowls, filled with milk honey and wine respectively, a white candle, and an offering plate with something you’ve made (such as biscuits or cake) and wine in a chalice.

Set all items on your altar in your garden. Light the candle and sit watching the flame glow. Allow yourself to completely relax.

Begin your meditation. Allow your auric field to sense the space around you.You’ll begin to feel the presence of the various life forms around you, such as birds or bugs. Continue feeling with your aura. Eventually you may sense life you do not recognise.

Do not be alarmed, these are the fae coming to see what you are up to. Simply stay in that state, sensing their presence while they sense and explore yours.

When you feel ready to do so, end your meditation. Thank the fae for their involvement in your garden, and your ritual. As you partake of the offering, think on all the aspects of garden care that they do for you.

Leave your offering out for a night and a day. Follow up your ritual with the practical garden work. This ritual, when repeated regularly, will strengthen the bond and respect between you and the fae residing in your garden.

Tomatoes & Onions Quick & Easy A tasty, versatile rich source of vitamin C, tomatoes are one of the easiest vegetables to plant and they grow just about anywhere, almost any season. A real salad pleaser & favourite.

Carrots, Beans, Corn Everyones Favourite Carrots are one of those vegetables that you find so versatile and go with most things. Eaten raw slices thinly in salads or with dips, Yum!

Asparagus, Radishes

et creative with greens gone are the days when salad meant a few leaves of wilted iceberg lettuce drizzled with a fat laden creamy dressing. Today’s markets have a wide variety of salad greens. Try to use several varieties in your salads. For convenience you can buy premixed mesclun, which contains a variety of greens.You can also blend your own by going through the produce department and mixing and matching greens. Some that will add interesting flavors to the mix are the slightly bitter chicories such as endive or radicchio, peppery arugula or even mild baby spinach. Look for an interesting mix of textures and colors in your greens as well.

Maybe add some frisée or curly red leaf lettuce for that extra special dimension.

46

s e l b a t Vege

If you bought a pre-washed mesclun mix, you won’t have to worry about cleaning the greens, normally they should be thoroughly washed.

Otherwise, after shaking off most of the water, you can roll the washed lettuce in paper towels to help absorb the remaining moisture. Plan on about 2 cups of mixed greens per person.

For a slightly sweet, mild anise flavor, try adding some chopped fresh fennel bulb to your salad or use fennel as the basis of the salad itself.

Tomatoes and onions seem to be standard fare but don’t forget cucumbers, shredded carrots, cabbage, avocado, olives, celery, cauliflower, broccoli, radishes, peas, corn, beans, etc.I generally prefer simpler salads that allow one or two ingredients to really shine, but to each his own.

Subtle tasting Use hot or cold with salads, asparagus always pleasant, packed full of goodies, looks elegant with subtle flavours that taste great sprinkled with vinegrette or parmesan.

Raw Vs Roasted Vegies Something a bit different Roasted vegies are making a huge comeback while interestingly versatile, they do take a little more preperation but usually worth it.

Gourmet Greens Humble Leafy Greens In the past decades, we have seen an increase in new varieties of gourmet lettace, with a huge use of musclun mixes, raw cabbages, rocket, spinach & endive.

Guide The Lymph System is the Building Block

W

of the Entire Immune System.

hy do you need to care for The Lymphatic System anyway? It needs your attention and offers valuable benefits. The Lymph System is the Building Block of the Entire Immune System.

In Human Physiology (1961), Dr. Charles Guyton states that every disease known to man is initially caused by blockages in the Lymph System.

It is not only a remarkable way to cleanse and detoxify the body, but also the mind and our emotions; the cause of most health issues! The connection; Lymphatic Health, 7 trillion cells, humanity and emotional well being are referred to in “Biology of Belief ” by Bruce Litpton.

Each part of the body represents a different part of the mind. Lymphatic health is the connection to Immunity and detoxification. How it cleanses your body and nourishes the 7 trillion cells is reason to love and care for yourself. All 7 trillion cells that make up your body are maintained by the Lymphatic System.

All healing modalities, either directly or indirectly are working with the lymphatic/immune system. Learn how a 2000-year-old ancient modality strengthens the Lymphatic System.

Lumps, bumps, swelling and pain can disappear.You will find that you are then able to get in touch with difficult emotions and thoughts and release them!

The Heart pumps the blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the cells, but it’s the Lymph System that protects the inner body and has a huge effect on our well being. How it functions can either create it to be your best friend or not.

Did you know?

The Inner Ocean-Lymphatic System is: A large dynamic health partner. It consists of a complex set of organs, nodes and vessels. It is designed to ward off infection, germs, inflammation and disease. All disease begins and ends in the Lymphatic System. It works in concert with our immune system, mind and emotions. It channels its way throughout the body, carrying infection-fighting cells, filtering OUT fat and impurities.

It is commonly known as the “garbage disposal” of the inside of your body.

• The Lymphatic System is critical to all systems in the body!

• It destroys harmful bacteria, fungi, fat, cellulite and other toxic materials!

• This system has no pump and relies on the body’s exercise to function optimally!

• A Healthy Nervous System depends on a Healthy Lymph System!

• You have three to four times more Lymph fluid than you have blood!

Keeping the lymph body unblocked of energetic emotional residue is opening up to more energy…”It’s An Inside Job!” It is through Lymphatic fluids moving that allows the inner ocean to do its job.

Twenty three years ago Judy healed herself from cancer and has devoted her life to teaching the power of the lymph system. She found that your emotional health, eating organic, staying away from salt, sugar, carbonated drinks, and caffeine positively impacts your physical well-being.

This system assists in opening up the possibility to live a healthy life from the inside out...rather than from the outside in. What looks like a fluid that runs through the entire body, absolutely requires help to keep it flowing.

Lymphatic health is a unique journey, which mirrors how you treat yourself.

With self-love and caring, it radiates health and beauty.

Should someone be experiencing a chronic physical problem, virus, inflammation, infection, overweight, cellulite, lumps, bumps, swelling, pain, low energy and nagging colds/flu…they have blockage in the Lymphatic System.

Your inner ocean needs to be flowing in order to detoxify. Exercise and lifestyle offers the body’s ability to have thoughts, emotions and beliefs move through your system.

Caring for this valuable system brings health to a balance. Lymph fluid must flow; without any jarring and trauma, physically or mentally, in order to build a healthy immune system.

Our Lymph System doesn’t have a pump and relies on us to move it in order to rid not only cellulite and excess weight, but toxic thoughts, memories, and waste that are accumulated in the cells. The cells hold memories, toxic waste and FAT, and the lymph cleanse all 7 trillion cells…

There is a 2000 year old Chinese modality that will strengthen your inner ocean! Your inner ocean is the gift of HEALTH! Judy Taylor, Author of “It’s An Inside Job! Emotional Health Secrets of a Lymphomaniac”, 23 years experience as a passionate Lymphatic Facilitator,TV & Radio personality, International Speaker and Educator.

Eco Living Its up to the Goddess?

Globally Women are needed to Nurture & Protect Gaia!

M

other Earth has been calling out; calling to the nurturer and protector Goddess… all these natural disasters are a an indication of immanent changes to her climate. We need to all step up and take responsibility and develop better ‘Conscious Living’ attitudes, if we are to keep her great abundance alive for our future generations. For too long she has been under siege from our everyday needs, not just to stay alive, but also to prosper, creating consumables to sell and make a living. We take everything from her but what are we giving back?

At this rate, if we keep taking more and more, soon there will be nothing left to take. Everything we rely on comes from our living planet and yet we give little back. Our forebears showed us the way by giving of thanks for the offerings from mother Earth. We take far more than is needed and we are wasteful and don’t distribute it where its needed… We have lost our way as a humanity by not sharing her abundance equally.

Honour needs to be restored and put back into our hearts and minds and it will come from the ranks of the Goddess.

Huge Corporations arrogantly believe it’s their right to rape mother nature of all she offers us unconditionally, that she is here to cater to their every whim… but at what cost!? The Goddess does not act in this way… the feminine looks to serve all in her service to mankind… not to rape or pillage and conquer for selfish needs!

As women I feel it is our responsibility to nurture and protect our planet as our forebears did. We need to teach our young through a ‘Conscious Living’ attitude to respect our planet and all who dwell upon her. Every day we should be grateful for all we have, respecting, protecting and nurturing it.

Lets all step up as Goddesses and protect and restore our living planet leaving a better legacy for our future generations. If everyday we made small conscious contributions, very soon it would make for a huge difference and a greener planet.

Tips for eco-living

T

he smallest steps can make a big difference to Australia.

The following tips outline practical ways that you can reduce resource usage and help our living planet.

Switch to Green Power Not only do coal-fired power stations in Australia produce more than 170 million tonnes of carbon dioxide - the most significant greenhouse gas - every year, they also use vast amounts of water in their generation of electricity.

By switching to accredited Green Power you are not only helping the environment, you are supporting the growth of the renewable energy market where ever you live.

Be water smart Australian conditions mean water is especially precious, and we can’t take it for granted. Front loading washing machines, dual flush toilets, aerated taps and power shower-heads all mean less water is used in the home.

You can also install a rainwater tank, even in urban areas, which will collect water for use in the garden or washing machine. That means a reduced water bill, and more importantly it means we only take our fair share from the natural environment.

Plant natives By planting local, native plants in your garden that require far less water than their exotic cousins, you will be creating the ideal conditions to attract native wildlife - maybe even endangered birds and frogs! Check out your local nursery for advice on what to plant in your neighbourhood.

And be sure to avoid garden plants that are invasive species.

Eco-friendly cleaning Our waterways need their natural balance of nutrients to support fish,

insects and other essential parts of the ecosystem. If they have too many or too few nutrients they may die. Biodegradable kitchen and car detergents, washing powders and organophosphate free fertilisers all help to keep our environment in check. Visit your local supermarket to see what’s available, and if the range is limited, make a few suggestions to the manager.

Feed the earth Why fertilise landfill with vegetable waste from the kitchen, when your sandy garden and backyard soils could benefit from their breakdown? Properly composted vegetable matter breaks down without emitting an unpleasant odour, and you can add worms to a compost heap to speed up the process.

Go calico Did you know that Australians use 6.9 billion plastic bags every year? Each one can take hundreds of years to break down, and they usually end up in landfill or in our oceans, contributing to the deaths of turtles and other marine creatures. If you leave a calico bag in your car or backpack, the next time you have to pick up bread and milk you won’t need a plastic bag. The turtles will love you for it!

Grow your own By growing your own seasonal fruit and vegetables in your garden or on your balcony you’ll receive the benefits of higher quality, more nutritious produce, and you’ll be helping your environment. Transport, processing and other costs associated with bringing unseasonal, artificially ripened food to the supermarket represents less value to you and the environment.

Keep snug By improving insulation around the home you can reduce the need for that heater in the winter months. A substantial

amount of heat is lost via uncovered windows so when you’re not at home, close the blinds and curtains. Another way to reduce heat loss is to seal draftprone areas such as the spaces under external doors.

Hitch a ride Every year our horizon becomes browner as our climate becomes warmer. Toxic emissions are one of the major factors contributing to global warming and photochemical smog. Do you really need to drive that car to work? Can you share a car with a mate or organise a car pool?

How about keeping that promise to get fit and ride a bike to work! How about choosing a hybrid or more fuel-efficient vehical?Small changes in our behaviour can lead to great changes in our natural environment - It’s not too late.

Think before you print The promise of the paperless office hasn’t materialised. Work is more complicated and produces more paper waste than ever before. For final copy printing, why not print on both sides of the paper? For rough versions, why not use the blank side of paper that someone else has used?

By making these small changes, you could cut your paper costs in half, and save some trees and the creatures that rely upon them. Or you could try using 100% recycled paper made instead.

H

ow different this world would be if what we read and watched reflected the diversity of beauty. For unfortunately today’s society strongly emphasizes the importance of attaining physical beauty like that of the models we see in the media without taking into account that true beauty comes from within.

Turn a critical eye to advertising and the media images that are presented to us and acknowledge that their representation does not represent reality. Become conscious of the times you are exposed to advertising that is designed to make you feel inferior so that you will purchase that miracle product. The companies are capitalizing on our own insecurities. We easily become trapped in the illusion of the promise that is made.

Most advertisements sell products by targeting people using the perception of beauty to move products off the shelves.

Consistent exposure to such influences is making us become self-conscious and obsessive over our appearance as a measure of our self-worth.

Before taking your next trip to the cosmetic counter consider that spending a fortune does not necessarily mean you are buying quality or the best product for your skin. Many of us treat our skin with products containing toxic substances, as we have no control over the ingredients of the cosmetics that we purchase. If you will not eat something that is coloured, synthetic, or filled with chemicals and preservatives then why use it on your skin? Like our body our skin needs to be nourished, and it needs to breathe and not be abused. It is our largest organ and needs to be treated with care.

For alternative beauty a large factor of its appeal is being in control over how natural the product is. Other benefits are that it is cruelty-free, fun to make, economical, and the aromatic ingredients create a feeling of well-being. A holistic approach to beauty can be very attractive in the sometimes aggressive world that surrounds us. Taking time to pamper ourselves is important for our relaxation. Refuse to be nagged by your conscience or your clock and treat yourself to a balm for the stresses of life.

You will instantly feel and look better.

Consider that natural beauty is the culmination of a healthy lifestyle, happiness and a regular skin care regime. It is an intimate relationship between your inner and outer self. What you eat directly affects your skin, hair and nails and how you feel about yourself directly affects your outward beauty.You will never feel beautiful if you do not accept yourself. Have confidence, find peace and tranquility and your inner beauty will be reflected outward. Celebrate the natural beauty you are and the right to define beauty for yourself.

The following recipes are easy to make and should enhance your looks and your bank account whilst being kind to your skin. One thing to remember is that home-made cosmetics do not contain preservatives and may go ‘off’ if kept unrefrigerated or if contaminated by unclean fingers. Therefore make a small amount at a time and be sure to test inside your wrist so as to rule out any allergy to the ingredients.

A radiant complexion can be achieved with a regular regime of pampering. Have fun making and using these natural home made cosmetic recipes. Here’s to your beauty - enjoy!

Crystal: ROSE QUARTZ Rose quartz gives us the gift of loving ourselves and self love is vital for anyone interested in spiritual development. It is a healing stone that works with all the chakras, easing pains, tension and emotional wounds with the gentle vibrations of love. It restores peace and calm to our emotions, it brings clarity, warmth and joy to our relationships. It helps us to appreciate the beauty of art and music, increases fertility, enlivens our imagination and drives away our nightmares.

Rose Quartz energy is powerful and when placed upon the heart chakra, it can bring unpleasant past truths to the surface to be healed, but remember once that pain is released, it won’t be coming back.

Faerie PIXIES

Of all the magical races Pixies would definitely win first prize for camouflage and for mischief making. Tiny green bodies, round elfish faces and pointed ears, they have a zest for life, music, dancing.Your best chance of seeing a Pixie is while they are riding the wild Dartmoor colts, making tangled ringlets of flowers in the horses’ manes. Tales tell of pixies luring children into their play. A little boy from Devon went missing whilst picking wild flowers. After three days of searching, he was found fast asleep in the very spot where his mother had last seen him. When he awoke, he was back in the dell. He had been “Pixy-led”.

Rune Jera Jera is the rune, which

represents the harvest, the completion of a cycle, a season, or a year. If you receive this rune in a reading it indicates that you will soon see the results of your past hard work. This can be a time of celebration, of joy and plenty, a time of reaping the rewards from seeds sown in the past. It is a very positive rune to receive if you are dealing with any legal matters and is often used in fertility rituals. It can represent a wakeup call to us that we may need to put a bit more effort into our “sowing” if we wish to reach the goals we have set. Using this rune is the key to understanding the importance of managing what we do with our time.

Jera can motivate us to use our newfound knowledge to sow the next generation of seed and expand our present ability.

Angel Archangel RAPhael If you feel you cannot possibly heal what is happening in your life, then Archangel Raphael is the angel to invoke. Raphael is the patron of healers and those in need of healing as well as the healing of the planet. He is often pictured carrying the caduceus in one hand and a healing balm in the other. Known as the physician of the angelic realm, Raphael acts as a catalyst to help us access the great reserves of strength and power we all carry within, so that we can learn to heal ourselves and then be inspired to heal others and the planet with love and compassion.

This angel’s planetary aspect is air so when you wish to call upon Raphael’s healing guidance taking several long deep breaths will help you to connect.

The LOVERS

The Lovers speak of our yearning for harmony, our relationship with ourselves and others, sharing, trust, romance, deep love, commitment and temptation.

The Lovers often appear when we are faced with an important life decision and must choose which path to follow. Are you considering a new romance or partnership, the direction of your current relationship, or maybe there is a choice to be made that affects your friends and family?

Knowing which path to take isn’t always easy and life can at times feel a bit like a roller coaster. Just remember the whole ride when you’re making your choice not just the scary bits. The Lovers carries a clear message that we should develop a deeper connection with the people who share our lives most importantly ourselves. Belief in yourself, trust your instincts, feel the energy of Love within your heart and you’ll make the right choice.

Symbol OM According to the ancient Vedic scripts, The Upanishads, OM is the primordial sound, the first breath of creation and the vibration that ensures existence. This Hindu symbol signifies God, and the Oneness of all creation. It represents the four states of consciousness: waking, deep sleep, dreaming and turya (the pure state of being).

The Om sound or Pranava, which means sustenance through breath, is made up of three syllables, aa, au and ma which when combined, make the sound Aum or Om. Take a deep breath in and on the out breath the aa sound is made in the throat and the au and ma sounds on the lips. It is said that the vibration produced when chanting Om will bring peace and calm to the body, soothe the mind and nourish the soul by merging the vibrations of the body with that of the universe hence Om is considered the most powerful of all Indian mantras.

Want to create a Sense of Positive Living in

your Home and Life?

Roxanne our expert shows you how, using Feng Shui Principles HEALTH To improve your life, health and money flow with Feng Shui, it’s important to first start applying it to your home or living quarters. It’s here that you create your inner world so that it can extend to your outer world.

To be physically, emotionally and mentally healthy is very important to maintain a balanced and enjoyable life, a life that is shared with others.

How to create support in life - It’s important to have a good solid wooden bed-head that supports you, as well as matching bedside tables to create balance in your life. If your bed-head is metal, then hang a clear quartz crystal in the middle of it to attract peaceful sleep, which is all part of good health. Beds should not be placed against a wall that’s shared with a bathroom, laundry, toilet or electric meter box as this can be detrimental for your health.

To activate the Heath area The colour green activates your health area in the living room (middle of left wall, when standing at the room entrance) and can be simply kick- started by displaying a healthy green plant such as a Peace Lily. Other ideas would be family and friends photos or hang a print of bamboo for strength and stability.

1. Healthy plants with no spikey leaves are recommended in assisting good energy flow within the home, as plants emit positive life energy.

2. Bonsai’s are not recommended. They are inauspicious in Feng Shui because they have stunted growth, which means “stunted money and health.”

3. Even if you love cactus plants, don’t have them near the front entrance or inside, only the backyard.

4. Health is a wood element so display wooden items, cabinet or photo frames.

POSITIVE TIPS

* Candles create a tranquil ambience, which is always good Feng Shui. Place them on the coffee table to invite peace or during meditation, which is good for your health, to invite the energy of spirit. * Cleanse the house with White Sage leaves when you feel the energy is stagnant, open windows and doors, then play loud music for 30 minutes. * Recycle those old newspapers and magazines instead of letting them pile up. * Do not keep broken or cracked items as they may reflect a negative aspect in your environment. * The entrance of your home should be clear of clutter so that it is welcoming and invites positive energy, which is good for your health. * A water fountain in the foyer will invite wealth and prosperity to your home.

Discovering your Patron Gods and Goddesses ...The EasyWay Stacey Demarco

T

he Goddess and God has many faces and takes many forms. Just as each of us on this earth is different, it seems there is a god and/or goddess for everyone. The Goddess has always appeared in a form to whom we can relate. An African goddess is darkskinned, a Greek goddess is dressed in a traditional column dress of the ancient time, a Native American god may be half animal and half man. For mothers, She is a mother. For warriors, She is a warrior.

Eons ago, these different aspects began to become individualised and what we call pantheistic. Most of us studied the Greek or Roman myths in school or at least saw movies that featured the Pantheon, or family of gods and goddesses such as Athena and Zeus, Apollo and Hera, Aphrodite and Venus, and their infamous children such as Hercules. More recently, we have seen the mighty Thor return to consciousness in a big blockbuster movie.

Equivalents are found geographically and historically worldwide. Isis and Osiris, Vishnu and Kali, and Jesus and the Virgin Mary. As we all have complex personalities and resonate to different paths, so too, does deity.

W

itches believe that the Goddess/God lives in us. We may choose a particular face of the Goddess to deepen our connection with Her, to strengthen our faith and to overcome obstacles blocking our way.

Same with the Masculine Divine. When I feel clear about the nature of a problem I can really relate it to a particular face of the Goddess rather than to the all encompassing power of the Goddess. I will call upon the specific wisdom and aspects that I know that Goddess has for me. Every day I see the power that results in calling upon these “consultants”. I have one friend who uses the wildly sexual Freya when she wishes to get in the mood with her partner after a hard days work has drained her libido. I have another who uses the creative Brigid to help create her new artwork, and then Dionysis to prepare her for a big night out!

But how do we discover which one(s) are really for us? How do we discover what many call a Patron Goddess of God? Here are five ways I have found that bring you closer to discovering your Patron Deity: 1. How do you feel?

You may find you already have a favourite god or goddess.You may have loved a mythical story as a child. Or you may have seen one of those classic 1950’s films like Hercules or even television shows featuring Xena, where the gods and goddesses are featured. However they have come to your notice there is something about them that struck a cord in you.You feel that this deity is important. Every cell in your body says: “Yes. This is familiar. This feels good”.

2. You keep seeing their image or symbols: When I was a little girl I was attracted to pictures and objects which featured the

Goddess of the Hunt, Artemis. In fact, my mother had a cameo of the Goddess that I coveted so much that I “borrowed” it and hid it within my pillowslip! The first sport I excelled in was archery!It is no coincidence that she became my first Patron. If you keep finding feathers, red things, favour a particular metal, feel connected to a country that isn’t your own, are in love with the moon or the sun or someone gives you a gift of a deities image- all of these are clues being left by your Patron.

3.Their attributes are important in the themes of your life.

Each Goddess of God comes with a mythos (a story) which gives us an idea of their attributes, energies and teachings.

For example: Athenas mythos is about wise strategy and negotiation, Thor about taking action, Aphrodite about love of self and romantic love. So, if you have always felt you wanted a career in business that required high levels of strategic intelligence, Athena may be your Goddess! If you are a procrastinator or things seem always to stall at the last minute, well then Thor will swing his mighty hammer so this happens no more. If you have always needed a hand in affairs of the heart, Aphrodite may be for you.

4. Do a little research: Invoking any god or a goddess is easier if you know something about them.

Look around at sources that describe Goddesses and Gods. Check out oracle card sets that feature them or artists work that renders them. I recommend original sources that tell of their storiesand there are plenty of Egyptian, Roman, Greek and Norse ancient poems and histories that give accounts of the deities and how they were originally honoured.

Living traditions, such as Hindu and Buddhism are very easy to research.

There will soon be one or two that stand

out for you when you know what they have experienced.

5. Invoke and Honour Once you have done some research on a Goddess or God that seems to resonate with you, it may well be time to connect with them.You can do this in as simple or as complex a way as you wish. For beginners, I suggest that you create sacred space, you prepare an incense blend they may like, light a candle in their preferred colour and have a gift ready that they may like.

For example: The Goddess Freya likes amber and gold, the God Ganesha loves sweets, Artemis loves arrow heads. This is not the time to ask for something (imagine someone coming up to you that you didn’t know and asking you for something personal) but instead just to introduce yourself and experience their energy. A small prayer you have written yourself or got from a reputable source is always welcome.

Over time, you will build a relationshipa strong and faith-filled one- with your Patron Deity. Every day my relationship with both the feminine and the masculine divine grows and therefore, changes my life for the better. I would encourage you to begin this journey if you haven’t already because it is one that is both centering and expansive something most of us need in the volatile times we live in.

MovieMishMash

Blockbuster: INCEPTION

S

haring the “What is reality? concept,” Inception will challenge the masses to consider momentarily that reality might not be as it seems. For the more conscious and aware individual, Inception will take you on a journey of deep reflection and questioning more deeply what is the reality we choose

to create. It will create conversations with friends and family that you will remember, and perhaps even dream about. On the more technical side, Leo’s acting is superb and brings realism to a movie that challenges our reality. It is very violent (much like The Matrix), and fortunately it’s mostly guns and explosions so there’s no notable gore.

The effects were also realistic - not necessarily in terms of what we’d expect to happen in our world, but rather, very aligned with what we (or at least I) experience within the dream world.

We’re challenged to ask questions like, “What really is a ‘projection’ and how does it affect me?” and “If you knew the Truth of your world, would you choose reality or illusion?” There is a quiet sub-theme in this movie that timing is of utmost importance. Most people probably didn’t even pick up on this aspect of the movie, yet it’s perhaps one of the most important. It’s almost like we have to ask not only “What is time?” but also “What is right timing?”

A

s Evan adventures beyond the orphanage he’s constantly experiencing life as one big orchestrated symphony. That is, until things go wrong and suddenly all he hears is chaos and disharmony. This is just one of the many metaphors in this movie for the lives we choose and the paths we follow.

Movie:

AUGUST RUSH

E

van Taylor, an orphan from birth, attempts to find his real parents despite the fact that they don’t even know he exists. A profound movie that shares that at a deeper level harmonics and music has the ability to connect us.

GoddessGuru

Driven by his unrelenting optimism Evan has a dreamy quality, always beleiving in his truth. Some moments seem too painful to watch, as parts of the movie seem filled with disappointment after disappointment.

But, the true joys come from the small, synchronistic moments in the film when characters cross paths in seemingly unrelated but synergystic ways, like a secretly un-orchestrated yet choreographed universal dance. The films most Powerful messages are never give up on your inner truth, no matter how hard things get they can always be overcome, and listen to your inner music and who it connects us to. If life is singing to you, you’re on the right path...do what makes your heart sing!

New-Age Movie: Peaceful Warrior

D

an Millman is a top gymnast at U. C. Berkley yet despite his many successes he feels empty and incomplete inside. Plagued by dreams of failure Dan is unable to sleep and finds himself wandering the streets in the early hours of the morning. When he stops at an all night gas station and service mart he meets a man of unconventional wisdom who begins to instruct him on the process of clearing his mind of all the useless garbage it contains in order to view himself and the world around him in a brand new way.

`Peaceful Warrior’ is one of those rare films that both entertains and teaches without sacrificing one for the other. The production values are high, the dialogue believable and the performances strong.

Scott Mechlowicz was definitely the right choice to play the role of Berkley gymnast Dan Millman and Nick Nolte delivers one of his best performances in years as the mysterious Socrates, garage attendant and “New Age” Zen Master. Add to the mix Amy Smart as Dan’s love interest Joy and you have romance as well. The best moments take place whenever Nick Nolte (Socrates) is on screen.
