Otherworldy Thoughts: Goddess Statue 1

http://otherworldythoughts.blogspot.com/2012/02/goddess-statue-1.html

Welcome to my blog. Spiritual ramblings and a search for self. Friday, 24 February 2012. So, following on from my earlier post about making things I have finally started my Goddess statue. I wanted to try and make my own, partly to impart more meaning and partly to see if I could. To start off with I made a rough wooden base and a wire framework. I ditched this approach for a simpler frame made of coat-hanger wire. The fine wire still had its uses in framing detail like the hands. I tried to relax and le...

Otherworldy Thoughts: Magickal Paraphernalia

http://otherworldythoughts.blogspot.com/2012/05/magickal-paraphernalia.html

Welcome to my blog. Spiritual ramblings and a search for self. Saturday, 12 May 2012. Wills made in the past testify to this - most people were lucky to leave behind the clothes they died in and perhaps a pewter spoon, knife and bowl. So I have been wondering about getting back to basics. All this rambling brings me to my intention to make an ash staff for magical work and this will be my first and principle magical tool. 12 May 2012 at 22:01. I very much look forward to seeing the results. Oh, and I...

Otherworldy Thoughts: Freyja

http://otherworldythoughts.blogspot.com/2012/02/freya.html

Welcome to my blog. Spiritual ramblings and a search for self. Tuesday, 7 February 2012. About 16 months ago I suffered from a bout of depression. It is still with me but things are very much brighter now. The Amber has now dried out, shrunk a little, lost its smell and developed a surface patina. I gave it to my partner, she loves Amber, but we both treasure it. I am a big sceptic, and coincidences can happen, but could this be the Goddess contacting me as Freya? What do you think? I definitely think so!

Otherworldy Thoughts: Back

http://otherworldythoughts.blogspot.com/2012/05/back.html

Welcome to my blog. Spiritual ramblings and a search for self. Saturday, 12 May 2012. Its been a while, but I am finally back at the blog. Time really flies, especially when work an personal life get busy. But it hasn't been a bad couple of months. On the contrary its been pretty good. Work life has improved and I have actually enjoyed it for a change. And there will soon be a move to a new house with a wonderful garden and two beautiful silver birches. Freyja and Frey, Norse statuettes. Pray to the Moon.

Otherworldy Thoughts: Re-awakening

http://otherworldythoughts.blogspot.com/2012/02/re-awakening.html

Welcome to my blog. Spiritual ramblings and a search for self. Saturday, 4 February 2012. Not much blogging this week and couldn't find the time to do much at Imbolc. I am not too worried about this, as I have said I am starting over and re-exploring pagan spirituality. But it does bring home the realisation that a deeper engagement with this in the future would mean that I would not have to find time, but make. And there were remnants of last year. The copper beech hanging on to its leaves. If Aines cha...

Otherworldy Thoughts: Reflection

http://otherworldythoughts.blogspot.com/2012/02/reflection.html

Welcome to my blog. Spiritual ramblings and a search for self. Tuesday, 21 February 2012. Having started the blog with a burst of activity I find myself in a period of quiet reflection. This is partly forced by yet another head cold and lethargy, but its good taking time out to just think. I got into a work state of mind last week thinking: "it's been ages since my last post, I must do one." Must! 25 February 2012 at 08:07. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Otherworldy Thoughts: June 2012

http://otherworldythoughts.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Welcome to my blog. Spiritual ramblings and a search for self. Saturday, 9 June 2012. I have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Cornwall. More about that later. At the start of May I set out to make my staff. I decided that it should be ash and that it would be a thumb stick so that I could take it walking, and later on it came in very handy on the Cornish cliff paths. Then I scambled up the slope and sat in the woods a while with my eyes closed, enjoying the birdsong and meditating.
