Using a Compass
On a recent trip, I used a friend’s car for quite a bit and they had a tiny compass attached to their keys. Magical ideas immediately popped into my head and all through my visit. Here’s one idea. The compass can be a link to the sacred space created when we cast a circle — […]
Cairnpapple Hill, Scotland
In the theme of the new book, Travel Magic, I’ll be posting occasional moments from my journeys around the world.
A Bit of a Cliffhanger
That’s me in the green two-piece, and this picture sums up an ongoing cycle in my life. In this cycle, I choose to do something beyond my current capabilities, and get a lot of negativity. In response, I dig in and basically just say eff off and do it anyway. It all works out somehow […]
