Lord of the Flies scared the shit out of me.
It was terrible, and relatable. I experienced elementary school as a terrifying and unruly place. The bullying and harassment on school grounds was an awful experience... and I still don't trust any of those kids to this day.
A lot of the stuff we get upset over isn't true and we can't ever know for sure that it's true. Our believing it is true is what disturbs our peace, so to regain peace, we fall back on what we know for sure is true.
Read MoreStanding in our truth is a powerful place to be. We can accept and own our truth without feeling the need to defend or convince or provide proof. This is necessary in order to complete the circle of truth - to share our accepted truth with others. We need to share and others need to receive it.
Atiyyah shook me and I am strengthened by her truth.
Read MoreCeltic re-connection has given me the greatest sense of belonging, in the physical world, in this body. All the ways that I have felt alienated from modern Western culture have been healed in the connection to my Celtic roots.
Read MoreThere’s only one wound and we keep stabbing the knife into it over and over again. The fix is simple, but it’s covered with a bunch of knife wounds.
Thank you for being here to help me remember who I am and why I’m here.
Read MoreThere’s a difference between knowing something in my head and knowing it in the cells of my body and being. I finally understand that The Church of Beloved Presence is literally focused on allowing the experience of the Anam Mór on Earth. It is learning how to allow ourselves to identify as divine wholiness and see the world as divine wholiness. We become Beloved Presence and learn to see all of existence as a Beloved Presence in return.
Read MoreSay yes to your dreams and visions and believe that Creation has your back. Believe in you and the power of Beloved Presence and the Anam Mór to guide you. You are brilliant and talented and fabulous. Give yourself permission. I believe in you.
Read MoreBodies are sacred. Following greatest desires is a learned skill - that we cannot learn until we trust and have faith that Creation and the Anam Mór are working tirelessly and lovingly on behalf of our dreams.
It’s all speculation until we walk it in our bodies.
Come dance with me.
Read MoreThe body is sacred. Religion has thrown suspicion on the body and judged it as inferior and an obstacle to enlightenment. Bodies are spirit made visible.
Read MoreGrian-stad a’ Gheamraidh Beannaichte. Blessed Winter Solstice.
This is the time of reflecting deeply into self and facing the darkness within. The sun will stop for 3 days to allow us this time of grace and reflection. This time of “sun-stop” is to realize and embrace intention towards what will be re-birthed for ourselves, our community and the world with the return of the light.
Claiming ancestors and believing without absolute proof. Sharing our loving visions with the world and standing for them in the face of rejection and dismissal is the call. We have the examples of belief in separation and fear and violence. Now the call if for those with visions of love and equity and transformation. It’s time. If you’ve been waiting - now is the time. If you need permission. You have it.
Read MoreMarginalized peoples have spent most of our lives seeing ourselves in heroes and main characters that don't look like us. Add additional intersectionality and marginalized categories and there are some in our society that have never seen a hero mirrored to them that they can identify with 100%.
We can learn a lot from what mirrors we reject as "not me". They can help expose unconscious biases that we're carrying that are working to create division in our lives without our notice.
Read MoreChrist consciousness is here and has never left. The “Return of Christ” story is a ruse by the Christian institution to keep us focused on the after life as a reward instead of doing the work to become closer to the Anam Mór on Earth. It is heaven here, we just keep not seeing it. Wake up. Let’s wake the fuck up.
Read MoreThey tried to tell us that magic was over and communication with Creator was at an end. We didn’t believe them because here we are, still in love with the world. No more prophets, no more miracles is a way to keep power over the people and freeze the story of love and wholiness into something Christianity can control.
Expect miracles.
I have some issues around deserving and worthiness when it comes to success or ‘good’ things happening in my life that I desire. I feel like I ‘owe’ Creator or am indebted to the Universe for ‘good’ things. It’s kind of fucked up actually. Also - fill out my survey please! It’s about spiritual community - I need your feedback!
Read MoreSetting my intention and goal for the year is always a way to shake things up and release blocks and issues and fears and mistaken beliefs of separation that need to be re-membered. This year was no exception. There are no parables left. Now we speak plainly of Our Creator.
Read MoreDecolonizing my mind from Christian world view. Separating the beautiful miracle of Christ Spirit from the toxic manipulation and lies of Christianity.
Read MoreFurther conversation on my Christian decolonizing process. I am making my way to Anam and Ancestors. The path to connection with my pre-Christian Celtic cultural identity.
Read MoreApparently, I have to reckon with the Christian colonization of my Celtic ancestors before I can walk with them into the future. This is the first of a series on Christianity and the the harm and gifts it’s given to my ancestors.

Read MoreThe beauty of Christ is that we can see ourselves in the image - if we allow it. This is the beginning of my reflection on and decolonization from Christianity and how it’s been used as a tool of oppression and white supremacy in the world.
Read MoreIdentity is important. It’s how we express universal anam out into the world. What we believe we are is the lens through which universal Spirit is shared. I have struggled with identity as a witch for a long time, because as much as it seems to fit, it’s never been quite right. Learning to pronounce Gaelic words opened the door; I am Bandraoi.
