I know [...]
The Danger Of Misleading Religious Historical Revisionism
Finding out the truth is more important than holding onto my own own opinion. Well, it is to me anyway.

A Christian with no inner peace of mind?

What Does It Mean To Be Pagan?
Someone said: “I am pondering the words we label ourselves with. In the last debate about the “pagan” label I was told a few times that anything “non-Christian” was “Pagan” – but then for that argument to work, it needs to be reversible, and anything “non-Pagan is not necessarily Christian” is it? So what does [...]

Fancy being a Shaman? Perhaps not.
Today I came across a fantastic article by Galina Krasskova. A somewhat unusual article, Devotion is a Warrior’s Art touches on a number of important areas. One area I want to highlight today is this, and I quote: I worry when I encounter people who are drawn to the idea of being a God-servant or [...]
Fix the problems on the inside, then the rest takes care of itself.
The antics of the Christian churches never cease to provide food for thought, especially bearing in mind how many people are affected by them.

Another personal anecdote – photo reading.
Some readers will be aware that I read photos. Simply speaking, what I mean by reading photos is that I can look at a picture of someone and know things about the person which are not revealed by the body language, expression, clothing or context of the photograph. Things I become aware of can be [...]

Mummies and housewives busy snorting cocaine
Years ago – gosh; I’m showing my age now – one of the few things I liked about school was the ‘yummy mummies’. Back in those days the mummies had more time to be mummies and enjoy life. I remember how much more relaxed mummies looked back then. Many looked a lot smarter too. Today, [...]
