LEVITATING CHRISTMAS TREE


The ladies stood with coats half on, gaping. What they saw was beyond anything natural. The tree began swaying, dislodging ornaments and...


Hedy bravely went over to steady it when the tree levitated and floated to the center of the room. The electric lights became unplugged in the process—but the tree remained lit. En masse, the screaming women ran out the door and...

THE TURRET AWAITS YOU...


"The turret awaits you..." 

People have asked me what that means. In my own home as well as in the story - the turret is a mysterious, spooky place. It is presided over by the ghost in Daphne's world. He lures selected students to its peak, but for what?  Allow yourself to be drawn to the amber glow beneath the turret's door.

DAPHNE'S WEB Now Available!

It has been a long time coming - but Daphne's Web (A Haunting Romance) has been published and is available through Amazon.  I look forward to sharing snippets of the backstory, the fictional story, and currents of metaphysical and otherworldly messages it imparts. Book readers, blog visitors and others just stopping by are welcome to comment and join in on discussions.  A new blog journey has begun for me, but I will also continue to post from my Nature walks and musings about life and its mysteries.

Impermanence

The material world has a fleeting nature. Only Spirit endures.  


Learning to appreciate the little joys in life, we can let go of tethering expectations.

Life's Illusions

Nothing is as it appears. The natural world is a grand illusion, causing us to watch carefully and decipher its sacred messages.


What could this moth know that escapes our understanding?

Thistle Power

By fall, the thistle stage represents the end of the plant’s life cycle.

For us, this stage may represent healing, driving off melancholy, breaking a cycle of bad luck, even preventing harm to enter our lives.

Catch a Falling Leaf

Superstitions around autumn can be positive. Some say it is good luck to catch a falling leaf and others say it is time to make a wish.


Next time you're on a walk, try catching a falling leaf.  Pay attention to what's around you for the next few hours.  There might be a surprise in wait.

Magical Realm

We live in a multidimensional Universe, and some places on earth feel magical.

Being open to Nature Spirits may bring glimpses of gnome protectors or fairy enchanters.

Have you ever felt another realm of life enter your world for just a moment?

Summer's End

 Summer’s end has a feeling all its own--the smells, sounds, and light. Shadows are longer, crickets are louder, and there is the fragrance that foretells of Fall.

I have to work very hard not to feel depressed when light wanes in fall and winter.

Deer Mythology

The Celts believed deer were part of the fairy realm and had magical powers, being able to move between worlds.


In the presence of a wild deer, one can feel its powerful energy and keen watchfulness.

PLEASE-- they are not for target practice.  Karma will come to shooters, and quickly.

Moth Spirit Message

Are you noticing moths more frequently? They fly into artificial light and flames, demonstrating faith and determination.  

Next time you see a moth, realize it is acknowledging your ever-vigilant Divine Path of Light.

Metaphysics of Flowers

Flowers have life energy. We are attracted to their color, fragrance, and shape. Their vibration affects us and can momentarily change our outlook on circumstances.


Did a particular flower attract your attention today?  Look up its magical properties and gain insight into how it may benefit you.

Good Luck

Is GOOD LUCK random or is it the Universe aligning with our thoughts and desires?

Study will tell us this is an ordered Universe.  Experience seems to cast doubt that is possible. 

What do you think?

Lesson from Trees

Trees are unable to run from their problems. They derive a patient and steady power from the earth and can teach us about forgiveness.
 
Why must we carve our initials into the bark of living trees? Is it because we need to leave a mark?  Is that what we do when we hurl mean-spirited words at someone else?

Respect and kindness for all living things is the goal of LOVE.

Wishes or Weeds?

Dandelions are like mini suns and can be positive messengers of renewal, survival, and whimsy (on which to make a wish). Or they may be seen as annoying weeds that litter a perfect lawn with their persistent presence. 

However you see dandelions might be indicative of whether negative or positive thoughts dominate you.

Material vs Spirit World

With all its bells and whistles, the  alluring Material World holds great power over us. 

All the while, TRUE POWER from Within can be tapped once proper knowledge is gained.

 
Are you feeling competitive, vulnerable, or exhausted holding fast to what you have built?  If so, try building with TRUE POWER instead.

Passing Through

Although flowers are not here forever, they do get a chance to show their beauty and essence for a moment in time.

What about us? We do not need to become famous to leave an essence on this earth.  And we do have a choice as to what that essence will be. 

We must never underestimate our words, thoughts, and deeds.

Bird Songs

Spring is upon us and we once again hear its songs.

There are messages everywhere for those with Inner Hearing.

Return of the Light

The sun shines constantly, even when it is obscured by clouds. Our Inner Light is no different -- it cannot be snuffed out.

In difficult times, we learn to trust  and reconnect to our Inner Light.

MYSTERY in Nature

Mother Nature creates beauty in the most unlikely places.  An imaginative mind appreciates her gifts.

Like humans, everything in Nature also has a story.  Nature and Animals endure the same storms of life, whether they be weather, relationship, times of abundance, times of drought. 

Attempt to bond with the story of something in Nature and watch how easily everything will begin to flow into YOUR life. The MYSTERY is in the sacred connection.

Coming Soon

Spring is around the corner. The earth awakens and renews itself.  
Become inspired by the debut of new ideas. 

Prepare to be reminded of how awesome life is.

All Seeing Eye

It is a mistake to think we have secrets.  Apart from a technology world tracking everything we do, the Spiritual World is all seeing too.  How do we cope with the fear of our secrets being exposed, known, exploited? There is only one way:

We must become kinder, more generous and conscious.  We must avoid joining forces with the intent to destroy. Dare to be a History Maker-- choose goodness and enjoy the limelight!

Luminescence

If only we could see the magnificence of the life force in all living things, we would not abuse any of it.

Human beings have been given gifts of energy and light to use for good and peaceful purposes, if we are aware.  Look around you and be in awe.  The world thanks you.

Mid-Winter Blahs

In colder climates, short, frigid, dark days can wear on our emotions, especially if we have not prepared ahead of time.


Some people live out winter differently, creating special traditions using food treats, festivities, etc. to deal with the doldrums.

Do you paint, compose music, write in winter???

Squirrel Antics

If squirrel catches your attention today, there is a message for you. Squirrels are practical, working diligently in fall to put away acorns and nuts.  In  winter, they  frolic from tree to tree, chasing each other on snowy days.
 
Maybe we are being shown there is a time to work and a time to play, and the balance of both makes for a happy life.

Amaryllis in Winter

This plant has rich mythological and symbolic lore conveying love, determination, beauty or pride. 

If you have been gifted or purchased a bulb for the holidays, it will repay your care and attention given with a splendid bloom on a bleak winter day.

Filling the Darkness

We fill these dark, winter days with external lights and festivities, but we also have the opportunity to find the Inner Light in others.

Powerful changes happen  when we access that source.
