Reflections, explorations and musings on the spiral path - in our daily lives, on our daily walks, on sacred journeys on ancient pilgrimage paths.  

The Spiral Path calls and challenges us to walk deeply and to live rooted and aligned, awake and aware.

Peace Pilgrim

As I return to my authentic style and way of writing, I am aware of a focus and excitement within me.  I can't wait to write!  I realize that I am risking a lot by showing up here like I know I have to, need to, and want to.  Yet it is a risk that I must take, for otherwise I am silenced.

Someone recently gave me book called Peace Pilgrim, about a woman who called herself Peace Pilgrim, devoted her life to service, left her material possessions behind, and walked more than 25,000 miles for peace.  Included with the book is a little pamphlet called "Steps Toward Inner Peace" and Peace Pilgrim actually encourages us to reprint any part or the whole of the book and specifically states that the book is not copyrighted.  A very different way to be in the world, wouldn't you say?

I have been reading short snippets from this pamphlet right before I go to sleep.  Her first preparation for taking a step toward peace is to "Assume right attitudes toward life" which she further explains by stating, "Stop being an escapist or a surface-liver…Face life squarely and get down below the froth of its surface to discover its verities and realities."  These words have been reverberating in my soul ever since I first read them.  My whole calling has been to go deep and to "get down below the froth", and yet somehow, I still hover at the surface of my life.  

Afraid to take the plunge.  Afraid to risk losing everything and everyone I hold dear.  Afraid of my own shadow. Afraid of my own power.

My decision and commitment to descend to the Dark Goddess is my sacred action to "get down below the froth of its surface to discover its verities and realities." 

And perhaps this just may be my path to peace, true deep inner peace.

Preparations for the Descent

12/2/2014

I am challenged to write this blog.  I know how I write best, which is immediate, personal and intimate.  When I write any other way, I become twisted up into knots and end up not writing.

And if I do keep writing, it become a labor, rather than an authentic expression.  I try to be more factual, informational, and erudite.  I feel as though I have to bring in sources, examples, and explanations.  I then get lost in my own words, and lose the thread of what I am writing about.

Some people in my life have expressed their concern that my writing is too personal, too revealing, too close to home.  And so I have removed those pages that have threatened people close to me.  I meant no harm in what I wrote, yet it was taken as criticism and blame.  I felt so bad that I had written anything that could be construed in such a way to hurt someone that I immediately deleted those posts to "protect" those people who had criticized my writing.

Yet, in the process of protecting and honoring them, I inadvertently shut the door on myself and my sharing  through my writing of my journeys - both inner and outer.  I can feel the threat of being too personal, too intimate, too immediate, and mostly, too revealing. 

So I don't write.  Or if I do, I keep it to myself, and put it into files, or the Cloud, so that some day, one day I may use what I have written.

But this is not how I write best.  I love to write in blog form.  It works for me to feel as though I am writing to someone who may read what I have written.  Even as I write this, I realize no one may even read what I have written, and that's okay!  This is how I need and want to write, as though someone may read what I write, and hopefully, that they receive a gift of insight, support, example, being able to relate, or a nudge to take the next step on their journey.  

So it's time for me to cross the threshold and write.  Write, and write some more.  To share with you my journey.  I can tell you, it's not always smooth and pretty, easy and joyful.  The outer pilgrimages I am called to take catalyze a deep inner journey that is, quite honestly, much more difficult and challenging than the outer journey.  These inner journeys - the true spiral path - makes the physical pilgrimages look easy in comparison.

I have been home now from my pilgrimage to and around Glastonbury for over two months, and I have never felt so unsettled, challenged, stuck and ill-at-ease within myself.  It is very challenging to know how to move forward, to root myself back home with my family when a part of me wants to root over in England, especially in Cornwall and Glastonbury. One foot in each of these sacred places - one foot in Cornwall, the land of my father and his Celtic ancestors; the other foot in Glastonbury and the land of my mother and her ancestors.  

Instead of moving forward, I am actually being called down and in.  Believe me, I have tried to move forward.  On to the next thing.  The next pilgrimage.  The next class.  The next offering.  And the only place I feel any resonance with is down and in.  So I am going on an inner journey to meet my Self.  Down on a journey of descent to meet and connect with my soul.

Nothing has worked to go forward.  The only direction that has any pull for me is down.  So when a Facebook friend invited her friend to join her on a 21 Day Sadhana journey to meet the Dark Goddess, I knew my answer was yes.  Filled with trepidation and wondering if my naiveté was getting the better of me, I still knew that my answer was a wholehearted, full-bodied yes.  And as I began my journey with her and her small group, I came across an amazing book called Journey to the Dark Goddess - How to Return to Your Soul by Jane Meredith.   
www.janemeredith.com

In this rich book, Meredith outlines the map of the journey to the Dark Goddess, with its Preparation, Descent, Being In, Ascent and Integration.  I knew that this book and even the 21 day sadhana were providing me with the container, directions and map for a journey that I have resisted my whole life.  It is as though I have been stuck at the threshold for as long as I can remember, terrified to take the step in and down into the darkness of my own being.

Before I left for England in June, I had a Soul Fire Session with Sera Beak www.serabeak.com.  The essence of the gift I received from this session was that I had to put as much time into planning and mapping my inner journey as I do my outer pilgrimages, and journey to my inner sacred sites.  

And so here I am, nearly six months later, being presented and invited into a descent that I had no idea at the time I would take.  Even now, as I begin my preparations for this inner journey, I feel a lightness and a rightness to go down and meet the Dark Goddess.  A lightness that supports and holds me as I prepare to descend into the darkness.  The paradox - the gift from Spirit that confirms the next step in front of me to take.

This is what I have to write about…this journey into the unknown, the unknowable.  And to write authentically, personally, and intimately, I have to risk being too personal, too intimate, too immediate.  Please bear with me as I risk this, for in this journey, I will find my voice.  Wow. Divine typo just happened.  As I typed "voice", the word "void" appeared.  As I write, I will find my void and emerge through it with my wholeness.

Thank you for reading this and thank you for allowing me this space to share my journey with you. 

Solvitur Ambulando.

With love In love As Love For Love.

Ultreya.

Returning to the Path of Writing a Blog...

10/2/2014

0 Comments

 
This morning I was inspired to re-commit to writing my blog.  I have so much that I want to write about from my journeys, walks and pilgrimages, that unless I write about my experiences, I keep most of the gifts, magic, miracles, and lessons bottled up inside of me.  Seems a little selfish, don't you think?  There are so many gifts on so many levels from these amazing experiences that I get to have, and I want to write them down, receive the gifts on an even deeper level within myself, and in the process, share them with you.

I invite you to join me on the Spiral Path with all of its twists and turns, gifts and surprises, connections and challenges.

Who knows where it may take me as I journey through words and explore the gifts from the path?

Actually, who knows where it may take you?!

A Reflection from a Full Moon Labyrinth Walk this past Winter

10/2/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
The first Full Moon Candlelight Labyrinth Walk was Tuesday night.  It was a breezy night that was warm enought to be outside comfortably, yet was too windy for the luminaria to be lit.  So we again used white Christmas lights to light the path, and we held our own inner light to guide us on the spiral path.

7 women showed up to walk.  We walked in silence, except when we spoke our question out loud as we entered the labyrinth.  Using information on tonight's full moon from Power Path, we each chose a "Full Moon" card with a timely question on it for this particular moon.



Picture
6 Questions:
  • What brings you joy?
  • What feeds you spiritually?
  • What needs expansion and more inspiration?
  • What do you need to let go of?
  • What do you still need to adjust and revise and modify
  • What needs expansion and more inspiration?
Each of chose a "full moon" card with one of these questions on it and of course, each of the questions were chosen.  As often happens in a circle, we chose all the questions between us.  It was powerful to hear each question spoken out loud as we each entered the labyrinth.  I knew that I was hearing the question both for the woman walking and for myself, and it provided a stronger context with which to hold the sacred space as we each walked.



My question was "What needs expansion and more inspiration?"

I love the practice of asking an open-ended and powerful question like this.  To ask with no presumption or expectation of the answer.  To simple ask the question, and in this case, to walk the question.  What needs expansion and more inspiration? 

As I walked toward the center, I connected with my love of the labyrinth, my love of walking, my love of sacred walking.  What brings me joy is to walk with the Sacred.  To walk a sacred path.  To invite others to walk a sacred path with me.  To walk a sacred path in community.

To walk a sacred path is a deceptively simple act
.  We walk.  Yet we walk with intention and purpose.  This is where the magic happens and the simple act of walking becomes a profound practice and prayer.  One doesn't even have to walk with seriousness, or even be quiet and "spiritual".  One can, especially in a labyrinth, where the walk is shorter and more focused and contained.

Here's a post from Day 3 of the Spiral Path Pilgrimage in Cornwall

Day 3. Rosemerryn

Sitting in a comfy chair looking out on the garden with a cup of tea and my phone/keyboard to write before anyone wakes up. I love this time of day.  

The past two days have been so full.  As Wende said last night, "That was just yesterday?!"  So much happens in a day that it can seem like a week or a month in any given 24 hour period.

In leaving Penzance yesterday morning to go to Madron Well, we left the busy-ness of being in town and entered the remote wildness and ancientness of Penwith.  Even though Penzance is also a part of the wild western Cornwall energy, the town energy takes over and one is not connected to the land and the place in the same way.  While it was wonderful to be in Penzance, walk the old and narrow streets, have restaurants and shops, as well as cash machines nearby, we entered into a different space when we left the town.

My sense is that we were all ready for it, and welcomed this change of place, and energy.  The first day and two nights were about arriving, and entering into the spiral.  Through walking the "Cornish Camino", even part of it, we experienced our first encounter with the land and the place.  For some, they may have also built their confidence and gotten their walking legs under them.

Our day on the "Cornish Camino", or St Michael's Way, had two distinct parts to it.  Our walk along the Coastal Path from Lelant to Carbis Bay, that included a walk down to the beach where we ate our lunches in the shade of the cliffside, and creating (and walking) a spontaneous labyrinth in the flat sands.  The tide was still on its way out, and as we looked for another way to return to the path, we saw a ravine with steps down on the far west side of the beach that was only accessible when the tide was low.  We decided to attempt this exit, and made it to the bottom just as the tide had received enough for us to wade through water up to our calves.  The climb was steep and a little tricky, but we all made it up to the top. It felt as though it was an initiation of sorts, because at the top of the rocks was a beautiful cave and spring cut out of the hillside.  Possibly the Mary Well that we had been told about earlier by a local when we were looking for the Lelant Well, it was a large cave out of which iron-rich waters streamed down the rocks into the sea.  Beautiful, and at the same time, defiled by cans and rubbish, Elyn offered prayers of healing for this sacred spot.

Picture
We actually came off the coastal path here and found a "faerie" path through beautiful pink flowers of all sorts of varieties. Joyous and delightful we came out near the train station, where Gary and Elyn decided to head back to Penzance, knowing that they were done for the day.

Called forth by a nearby standing stone, the rest of the group walked on to find the nearest "Public Footpaths" out of Carbis Bay that would reconnect us with St Michael Way.  We didn't get too far when we found a bar that served coffees and cider.  Thirsty, we stopped to regroup and to shift into the second part of the day's pilgrimage walk.

We easily found our way out of town, crossing fields and stiles as we walked our way above town.  The views of the sea and beaches were spectalcular and we found our late afternoon walking rhythm. The paths narrowed and widened as we passed through wildflowers and then wide open fields, down lanes and across farms. 

We then crossed a stile that took us into a field with another fenced off field inside of it, and there, inside the fenced off field, stood the lone standing stone.  Some of the group felt an immediate "no" to crossing the barrier to the stone; others of us felt more open and felt a pull toward it.  It was an unexpected opportunity for each of us individually, and the group as a whole to feel into and discern whether or not we were to engage with this ancient stone.

I knew that at the far end of the larger field was the entrance to the magical faerie glen that I so fondly remembered from last year. II had stopped there to wee in the woods and to take a breath in as I walked.  This year, I was elated as I came upon it again.  I took my pack off and put it down, right under a wooden arrow that pointed away from the standing stone and to the stile.  Last year, I was so mesmerized by the stile and nearby stones that I didn't even notice the standing stone.  This year, I realized that it actually stood quite close, separated by a fence with barbed wire. 

What was my feeling about crossing this ungated fence to engage with the standing stone?  I knew that several women were a very strong and clear no.  Wende, in particular, was feeling a very strong pull.  What was I feeling in the midst of others' clear and strong feelings?

As I asked, my eyes were drawn to the entrance to the faerie glen and to my pack that was laying under the arrow pointing away from the standing stone. And I knew my guidance was to rest in this sweet and sacred spot.  I was not to go to the stone but allow myself to experience and be nourished by the faerie glen.  At the same time, I was to respect and support everyone else's truth.  Wende did go to stone and I felt as though I there to witness and hold the space for her to do this.

Entering the faerie glen was even more magical than last night.  We walked down the hilll through a copse of trees and wildflowers that held us close was we descended. I smile just remembering my delight at returning to experience this magical place.  We came out on a drive and was greeted by a friendly dog and his owner  Further down the drive, we arrived at Bowl Rock, a large round rock that is now cared for by the National Trust.  Several of us sounded deep tones at this wonderful place before we crossed the road and headed up the hilll to the half way point:  6 miles to Marazion, 6 miles to Lelant.

Now at the bottom of Trencrom Hill, we had made this our destination to climb to the top and experience the ancient settlement.  It was now 8pm, and the evening light bathed us in golden light as we stood on top the hill, looking out to the coast on north and down to the coast on the south.  

St Michael's Way crosses Cornwall at its most narrow point, and here we could see from whence we came and if we were to continue, where we could be going.  A perfect place to stop for the day, it's as though we got to complete our day with a wide open perspective of the path in all directions.

Tomorrow would be the Summer Solstice and bring new adventures and experiences.

Our First Days in Glastonbury

10/2/2014

0 Comments

 
Friday the 13th under the energies of the Full Moon, Glastonbury

I have just woken up from a somewhat restless night's sleep in our wonderful Pilgrims B&B.  After our first night in Taunton, where we came to "land" here in England, Beebe and I took the bus to Glastonbury to root ourselves in the energies of this ancient holy place.


Like Boulder, it is an island of an alternative reality in the midst of what is perceived as "normal."  While our stay in Taunton was wonderful and we loved our Beaufort House B&B as well as its owner, Richard, we knew that we needed to immerse ourselves into an energy that would wake us up, and nourish our bodies and souls.

We took the bus along the main road to Glastonbury, that touched along several points of the Mary Michael Line, including Creech St Michaeladn Burrow Bridge.  My heart opened and warmed as I spied the Burrow Mound for the first time and was so excited to know that I would return here to walk into Glastonbury.

Arriving in Glastonbury, we knew that we needed to find a B&B so we went in search of Tor Webster, who will be our Glastonbury tour guide for the September Avalon Pilgrirmage, and his B&B, Moon in the Apple Tree. We met his lovely fiance, Julie, and learned that they were getting married this weekend! Not to be, we left only to return into Tor on his way home.  Invited in for a cup of tea, we accepted and droppped into conversation with this beautiful young man whose body and soul is deeply rooted in the pagan energies of the area.

Somewhere in the conversation we got to the necessity of allowing Glastonbury to infuse one's soul to clear the path - to do the deep inner work of "clearing one's shit". It's not the love and light, woowoo side of spirituality -it's the soul work that one is initiated into here in Glastonbury.



Known as the Heart Chakra of the world, it can also then serve as the Heart Chakra for the individual.  I realized that as I woke up yesterday morning that the invitation then in my being here already without having actually walked here yet is to infuse all of my being, all of my pilgrimage walks, and all of my journey here (and everywhere) with this Heart energy.  The Heart must be included and incorporated in all of what we do and be.  It is no longer sufficient to do the work of the lower chakras without the love of the Heart Chakra infused into the process.  The heart is the center of the spiral, the labyrinth - and from this center, all radiates out and aligns with the bigger picture of the truth of one's soul and spirit,

After tea with Tor, we went to find our B&B, stopping at the Jasmine Cottage only to arrive at the place that had originally caught my attention back in January when I was first planning a pilgrimage to Glastonbury, Pilgrims B&B. They happened to have a room, and I knew the minute we walked in that all was well.  Brian greeted us warmly and showed us to our room, the Isis Room.  Interesting as our bed in Taunton also had an Egyptian picture over it. 

We enjoyed a cup of tea in our room along with a McVities chocolate biscuit before heading into town for a stroll as well as a visit to the Abbey.  I love visiting sacred places in the beautiful light of late afternoon.  Most of the shops were closing but as they are all tempting with their Green Man paintings, lovely cards, and gorgeous clothing, I was grateful for the opportunity to window shop only!  After a cider and a basket on delicious onion rings at the old pub, The Geroge and the Pilgrim, we ventured into the empty grounds of the Abbey.  Serene, quiet, vibrant, nourishing.  Beebe and I ventured off on our own, to explore the sacred grounds, each in our own way.  I lay on the ground, soaking in the energy from the earth.  I walked into the grove of trees where the badgers live.  I knew it was a good place because the trees were happy, the birds were singing and the green energies of life and love were abundance and radiant.  The evening sunlight cast a warm light on to the whole place and I was nourished deep within myself.

Friday morning, June20th

Today is the first day of the Spiral Paths of Cornwall Pilgrimage. I am excited, nervous and very grateful to be here with this extraordinary group of people.

Today we head up to Lelant and experience the Cornish Camino, or St Michael's Way. This 12+ mile path crosses Cornwall at its most narrow point and gave Camino pilgrims from Ireland, Wales, Scotland and northern England a safe passage to the south coast of England on their way to Spain.

We will start our walk at a holy well and then make our way along the coastal path into Carbis Bay before turning inland and walking down toward Penzance. Not sure how many of us will actually walk the full 12 miles. That's not actually the point, This journey is about walking deeply and experiencing an intimacy with ourselves and the land, its legends and its magic.

We will see what gifts the path provides for us today!

Day 100 - Gifts from this Incredible Journey

4/23/2014

1 Comment

 
Today is Day 100 of my 100 Day Commitment.  I committed to exercising every day for 100 days.  I had to do something for myself and my body that would tone or strengthen it.  Walking didn't count in this personal challenge because I will always walk, and it's not my edge. It's my home.  Exercising - toning, stretching, strengthening - was my edge.


TODAY I CELEBRATE!  I have honored my 100 Day Commitment EVERY SINGLE DAY of the 100 days and have exercised and done something to move, love, enjoy, feel my body!

I am amazed, quite honestly!  When I first saw this challenge on Facebook, as much as I intuitively knew that I had to do it, I also wondered how I would ever make the time, remember, get over my resistance.  I was like, "Yeah. Right."  So I took it one day at a time, with the 100 days as my goal or vision in site all the time.

Honestly, it was like the whole Universe conspired for me to do this and take this on!  I could feel the groundswell of support as I stepped into the powerful Commitment to Self.

On Day 1, I went to a Fitness for Life class, and I have gone back nearly every Monday, Wednesday and Friday since.  Why?  Because the teacher of this class, Jennifer, has been one of my angels since that very first day.  She welcomed me in, asked what she needed to know about me in terms of exercising, and has just so supported me every step of the way!  It felt like she just invited me in more deeply to myself, and gave my resistance nothing to fight with!

I have gone to this Fitness for Life class, but another similar one at a different time.  I have gone to a NIA class, an Ayre dance class, I have used the "Fitness over 50" dvd's.  I have gone to Pilates with Helen.  I have sprinkled in with stretching, a Fit Ball, a little yoga.  Every day for 100 days I have moved, loved, stretched, toned and strengthened my body.

Years ago, I created with my dear friend Sue the acronym of HFTTFS. 
HEALTHY ~ FIT ~ TRIM  ~ TONED ~ FLEXIBLE ~ STRONG.

I am now living into and from that vision of my body being HFTTFS!  WooHoo!

What are the gifts from my taking on the 100 Commitment?

  • confidence - I now know that I can exercise, that I can commit to something seemingly impossible and do it!  I can no longer use my body, or being weak as an excuse.  I get to, have to show up now differently than I ever have
    • strength - you can feel the toned and strengthened muscles in my legs and arms
      no excuses - it's all about commitment, clarity, focus, and honoring your intuition.  I can do many exercises now that at the beginning, Jennifer wouldn't even have me do!  I can feel the muscles in more trunk now...they're engaged, they're firing, they're working!
      • intuition - when you are directed or impulsed by Spirit through your intuition, listen to it, honor it, do it! The picture is always so much bigger than you think it is, and so the magic, and the miracles are more than you ever imagined also!
        • weaving of the split - the 24 year old physical split in my abdominal recti muscles is healing and being healed.  It is now healed up almost to belly button, and coming down from my sternum.

          Healing the physical split is mirroring the healing of the energetic split within that has been there since I was a young girl, perhaps I even came in with it.  This dyanamic of a split is a big part of my soul's purpose - I came to heal the split I have experienced on every level of my being - spirit/matter; mind/body; England/America; creative/intellect; masculine/feminine; internal/external; home centered/out in the world; inner/outer...I could go on and on. 

          This 100 Day Commitment has been a unifier for me and has served to bring together and integrate the polarities within me.  While supporting the healing of the split, it has simultaneously been bringing together these aspects of myself that have been at war with each other.  Somehow, they are now working in concert together and recognizing the mutuality of their co-existence.

          WHOLENESS
        • connection to my core - I know that I am just getting started on truly touching my core.  It's as though it's taken me 100 days to come into the core of things!!  And if you'd ever told me it would take this long, and that I am really only just getting started, I'm not sure I would have ever started (which brings us back to the wisdom of Spirit and guiding us through our intuition!)  This 100 day practice has been a foundation creator and builder.
        • foundation - I now have the strength and the foundation to go into my core and to do the core work!  ha!
        • Self - a recognition that I actually have a Self, and that with this, comes an acceptance of certain degree of "selfishness" or self-centeredness.  WOW!  One of my shadows has been "Selfish" and so I have worked endlessly to NOT be selfish or self-centered in any way.  Hence, no core, no center.  I have come into an acceptance of Self and this demands a certain level of selfish, self-centeredness.  Many times I had to remove myself from the family and inconvenience them, and myself, to exercise that day.  And you know, it was okay.  There was nothing wrong, no harm done, by my taking care of myself.  Fancy that?!
        • container - I can physically, and emotionally - feel that my body can now serve me and our path together because it can now provide a container for our work together.  We are working together now!  Before my body always felt like a sieve that energy leaked through, so I'd always be trying to do what I needed to do behind my body's back almost.  I didn't know how to work in partnership with my body.
        • partnership - working together with my body on this journey we're on.  Loving and appreciating its strength, its form, its perfection, and its wisdom.
        • self-love, self-appreciation and self-acceptance - I am developing and deepening a love for myself and my body.  I actually am coming into a deep acceptance of myself, my Self, my gifts, my purpose, and my mission.  Funny right?!  Never would have expected that this 100 Day Commitment would give me these gifts!  What a blessing!
        • anchoring - I am coming in and home to myself, my core, my Self in a quiet, powerful, undramatic way.  It's like I'm experiencing my self in a new way.  It just is.  I just am.  As I type this, big deep relaxing breath.  I am.
        • creativity and manifestation - I am becoming a powerful and potent creative manifestor, and I am able to ride the waves of manifestation in a new, embodied, present way. I am recognizing and accepting myself as a profoundly creative person for the first time.  I am accepting who I am as a magnificent manifestor too!
        • EMBODIMENT - Wow!  I am embodying EMBODIMENT! My theme for 2014 - Embodiment!  I truly believe that it was my taking on and accepting this theme for this year that actually aligned me with the 100 Commitment.  It was the original spark.  And here we are, I am, 100 days later, and I am more in my body, in my being, on my path, than I have ever been.  I am so profoundly humbled and grateful.
        I am so moved and grateful to have been impulsed by Spirit to gift my Self with this 100 Commitment.  The gifts will continue to reveal themselves, as I know I only scratched the surface writing here today.  The picture is so much bigger than I ever could have imagined.  At times I have glimpsed into that picture, and it is so beautiful and divine that I, for a very brief moment, have stood in awe and gratitude for my getting to be a part of this picture.  That Spirit, God, the Universe, cared enough about me to inspire me to take on the 100 Commitment.  As I fully receive this, I breathe deep, fill myself with the love, and relax into that I matter.  I matter.  My body matters.  It matters that I have love and honor my body, and my Self on a daily basis.  The truth is we all matter, every single one of us.  How blessed am I.  How blessed are we. 
Picture
We all matter. Each and every one of us!
So, today I celebrate!  I celebrate completing this 100 Day journey that has given me so much more than I ever could have imagined.  I celebrate with dear sister friends by walking the Mesa Trail on a lovely spring afternoon...getting to walk, be outside, with friends, loving, laughing and celebrating the beautiful gifts of being alive in an amazingly wonderful human body that is also HFTTFS!!

    I love to walk.  I love to write.
     

    I am a pilgrim. 
    I am a Womb Shaman.
    I am the Feminine Christ Awakened.  
    ​I am becoming the Feminine Christ Embodied. 


    I walk the sacred spirals of the ancient pilgrimage paths and sacred sites along the "dragon" ley lines of the Earth.  I walk local paths. I walk to be in Nature.  I walk labyrinths and spirals.
