We see everything through a glass, darkly. Sometimes we can peer through the glass and catch a glimpse of what is on the other side. If we were to polish the glass clean, then we’d see much more. But then we would no longer see ourselves. Jostein Gaarder, 1993 — Through a Glass, Darkly I… Continue reading Does the Human Ego Serve a Purpose?
I wrote previously on my blog about why healing trauma starts with creating safety, and while I think I had some truly valuable insights from an intellectual perspective here, I have so much more to add to this piece on the spiritual side of things.

I'll still be keeping up my work here-but feel free to tag along with… Continue reading Sun-Day Studies: Honouring Solar Deities & the Seasons☀️🌞
Deepening my work with the Moon has been one of my favourite parts of this magical journey so far.
