| Introduction | My whole life, I've been on the bardic path of music, story, and magic. Now, instead of worrying about a "career path" that might somehow be "almost" what I dream of, I pursue it openly. The Earth needs us to be Authentic now, to sing and dream and be what we were born to be and throw caution to the wind. That caution comes from the myths of the Industrial Growth Society, I see now. We were not born, especially those of us born into this time of the Great Turning, to be mediocre, or to be wage-slaves. I'm learning to open and remember. This blog is a map of that journey. |

What did you dream when you ate a spider while sleeping?
Together, we go deeply within my inner landscape -- a place of blood and bone, dreams and timelessness, cellular memory and dark mystery. A much better journey while riding on the back of a web-weaver!
