The one thing in life that never changes is the fact that it’s always changing. Children grow upAdults grow oldExperienceIllnessTragedyRelationshipsTimeGradings They all change peopleThey change usThey change people we knowThis is important We can’t expect people to be the sameFriendsPartnersStudentsTeachersOurselves Quite often disappointment arises when we expect people or things to stay the same. They don’t. They can’t. Love, friendship, relationships, respect can grow stronger or fade away. Eventually everything peaks, and everyone and everything turns to dust. This can be scary or a comfort – it’s up to you. Continue reading Everything Changes

The Power Of Nature Sit in nature with an uncluttered mind and you can feel it. Our earth has an incredible power to reproduce, to survive and in balance to age, wither and die. This powerful energy drives the human body and emotions, it pervades all living things. It comes from the earth, doesn’t belong to us but is an incredibly powerful driver. If we don’t want to be subject to it we have to discipline, educate and alchemise it by understanding its basic needs of procreation and survival and observe the effects that it can have on our body … Continue reading The Power Of Nature
What Is Masculinity? A while back I wrote a post on femininity as I felt that a lot of posts on the subject at the time missed the mark. I’ll put a link to it in the comments. It has caused a few people to ask me to write one about masculinity, particularly after the ‘manosphere’ TV programme. In the pagan and Wicca world the masculine is born from the goddess at the winter solstice, reaches full power in the summer, and sacrifices himself in the autumn to ensure the fertility of the earth. He is Lord of the Underworld … Continue reading What Is Masculinity?
Look into the eyes of any animal and you can see an intense ‘being’ looking back at you. We forget our human ‘being’ and it tends to lie dormant whilst our convoluted survival mechanism subjects us to its fears and anxieties. But our ‘being’ instantly recognises itself in the eyes of the animals and intensifies, this deep recognition reminds us of who we really are and is the reason that any decent human loves animals and has a primal empathy with them. We can use this to enhance our ‘beingness’ in meditation and training. This is why martial arts uses … Continue reading Find Your Being
Let’s talk about emotions. Most of them don’t hit deep and can be easily controlled. We think that some are deep but they’re not total trauma and with a lot of work can still be released. And then there is real deep trauma. It totally dominates you, you work hard on it and think you’ve coped but it rears up when you least expect it. Rape, abuse, total humiliation, permanent disability, cancer, the loss of someone really close to you, these are overwhelming and affect the rest of your life and cannot be escaped. People that have never suffered one … Continue reading Deep Trauma
