The apparent frequency of animals eating entheogens is really fascinating to me.  It strengthens my suspicion that what our society calls “normal” consciousness is as deficient as a diet without certain crucial vitamins.  Life continues, but is crippled.  To a point our need-driven and distanced way of relating to the world and others is necessary…

I have just read about a delightful report that reindeer and other animals as well eat mushrooms to get high.  Having done the same myself (and seen colors that are not on the spectrum) I can only nod in approval. The entire issue of seeking kinds of consciousness different from the businessman doing his books,…

Just before Yule one of my readers asked me to explain why I was not more interested in working magick on big issues, such as stopping global warming or bringing about more enlightenment in public policy.  He said he planned to do such things up till the Solstice.

Michael Moore has written an eye opener for anyone who thinks Wikileaks is doing serious damage to America. And in the process pretty much demonstrated the almost complete dishonesty and collusion of government and the corporate media.

This is a beautiful piece someone sent me long ago in a Winter Solstice Card.  I have no idea who wrote it, and would love to know.  I’ve inserted copies myself into Yule cards and used it in Yule rituals, where it’s worked wonderfully well. But it takes a bit of memorizing
