Stress is something that many of us have to contend with.  I don't suffer from depression, but stress does sneak upon me.  It's easy to ruin the day with a couple of bad words to someone.  It's as if I can actually see myself -unable to stop-from being an asshole.  Now that the light has lifted, it's like sobering up. I must meditate. Reflecting on who we are, what we want to be and then actually striving to be a better person is an uphill battle. It is not difficult for me to "see myself".  Rarely do I need to be reminded of my moral failures. They tend to slap me in the face. Far too often ..read more

Burdock is a widely used term through out the bush craft community.  I rarely run into the "Great Burdock" but cross the curly dock species often.

I believe they said it affected them for 7 days!  Native Americans also used this plant to help them cross over into the spirit world. All that ..read more

My spiritual travels change day to day. I like to think they are evolving with my own growth and curiosity. I'm many things to many different people. My research has helped me evolve in ways I can't begin to understand. I have found roots that explain much of who and what I am. I am a male witch. As of today, that's the best I can come  up with to explain the array of "things" that take place within my life and emotions. For years I have felt things around other people. Long before I had any knowledge of the third eye, I knew better than to touch or hang around people with bad mojo, as I term ..read more
