Read more "Window to the Soul"Sorrow, shame, anger, and hate wrap around me, bind me and squeeze. The pressure builds. I cry out, “I can’t do this!” and my beloved responds, “You already have.

Read more "Lucid Dreaming"The Dream Several weeks ago, I had a highly vivid and lucid dream. I was in a second-hand occult store (used spell books, tarot decks, etc.), and I found a tarot deck that caught my eye.

Read more "Seeking a Dream"There was once a queer old man who lived in a cave, where he had sought refuge from the noise of the villages.

Read more "How it still happens today"Editors Note: I originally wrote this back in 2016 on another blog. I decided to re-publish and update it after seeing the recent Church Policies and Guidelines.
