Navigating the Galactic Barrier
BlackLion and I have been watching the Star Trek: Discovery series, and loving it. A recent episode had the crew of Discovery trying to find a way to travel through the galactic barrier and into another galaxy for an important First Contact mission. It’s not as simple as just flying through. There’s a lot of…

Guilt: What Is It and How Do You Get Rid of It?
For years and years, my Mom has had a saying that she shares at appropriate moments: “No guilt!” But what is guilt, anyway? Is it necessarily a bad thing? I looked to Wikipedia, and the definition of guilt there says: “Guilt is a moral emotion that occurs when a person believes or realizes—accurately or not—that…

Starcat’s Favorites: Upleveling
How is it that the entire month of October is, well, over? Did it fly by for you like it did for me? I’m sure part of it is that I was away for a week. BlackLion and I finally got to go on our much-awaited vacation to Cozumel Island, Mexico! It was amazing. We…

What’s Stopping You From Doing The Thing?
You know the thing I mean. The one that is of deep priority to your soul…yet you never quite seem to get to it. It gets continually moved forward on your (written or mental) to-do list. It could be a creative project, like writing a book, starting a band, or taking a class in that…

Getting Out of Your Own Way
I’ve been having some “aha” moments and mini-epiphanies as we make our way into 2020. They hit me in a powerful way that’s already helping me grow. Yet when I look at these messages from spirit, they seem remarkably simple. They are things I either knew already (intellectually, anyway), or probably should have known. That…

Why You Deserve More Ease In Your Life
Have you been brainwashed to struggle through life? How to tell: you begin your day tired and feeling like you’re already behind, you complain more often than you express your gratitude, you finish the day lamenting all the tasks that didn’t get done, and you wouldn’t describe your life as “fun” or “fulfilling.” You might…

Why All the Struggling? (A Rant)
When I was a little kid, I wanted to be a writer. I was drawn to the magick of stories almost as soon as I arrived on the planet. I started reading at age four, and became a voracious bookworm. I took a notebook and pen everywhere I went. I loved to study and learn.…

I Am Hiding In My Tower
I Am Hiding In My Tower: A Prose Poem (for my Shadow) I’m really good at being unseen. I can walk down the street in broad daylight and not be noticed, if I want to. I can slip through a crowd with barely a ripple. I am the observer, and I see all that goes…

Why Pessimism Is Lazy
I’ve been noticing lately that some of the most intelligent, creative, and spiritual people I know, when talking about the future, suddenly default to pessimism. This is the case whether they are talking about their personal prospects or the fate of the Earth and her inhabitants. On some levels, it’s understandable. We’re bombarded by a…

Allowing the Flow of Life
I had a really big year of change in 2017. I know, I know – we all did, really. On global, national, regional, community, and personal levels. It’s been crazy! Change is the only constant, as the saying goes. But, seriously. It was intense. I have a friend who is an astrologer, and he predicted…
