☉ WORDS OF WISDOM ☉

'To be born again,' sang Gibreel Farishta tumbling from the heaven, 'first you have to die.'
- The Satanis Verses by Salman Rushdie

When ego is lost, limit is lost.

One of the most healing things you can do is recognize where in your life you are your own poison.
- Steve Maraboli

If you're really listening, if you're awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; its purpose is to burst open again so that it can hold ever-more wonders.
- Andrew Harvey, The Return of the Mother

The brightest light makes the blackest mark.
- Henry Holmes Smith

“I let it go. It’s like swimming against the current. It exhausts you. After a while, whoever you are, you just have to let go, and the river brings you home.”
—  Joanne Harris, Five Quarters of the Orange

“One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.” 
—  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship

“Thoughts are energy. And you can make your world or break your world by thinking.” 
—  Susan S. Taylor  

  

☉♢☽CONNECT WITH YOUR SACREDNESS ☾♢☉

Learn about the moon cycles of the year, their timing and their meaning

Our bodies consist mostly of water, just like the sea

we are greatly influenced by the moon and it's cycles

 Rune Crystals may be used just like traditional celtic runes to 

connect with the issues in your life, unanswered questions

to gain clarity over a situation

 Alters can be prepared throughout the house,

you need not only have one, you can build them

whereever you feel the need to make one,

some large, some small

Burning Sage cleanses you and your home of unwanted energies 

 Connect with your inner eye. The pillar you represent reaching from your feet down into the core of the earth and through the crown of your head into the endless universe

You are always this pillar, every day, connected from the core into

 the infinite

 Ritual and sacrfice have always been part of human culture.

Many of us have forgotten or never learned to embrace this,

take a candle and prepare a ritual every week, or day or month

to connect with your spirit, with the spirits of the world

 Painting your skin can be very powerful,

symbols or simly colorful marks may empower
your connection with yourself
seeing yourself as a spiritual being

 

Nature is our most powerful force and ally

We are one with nature always and need to feel as one at every time

take the time to find crystals, to protect you and connect you 

with earth and the spirits

  

 

the sea

is the most 

healing power

find 

the 

ocean

 

love is more thicker than forget

more thinner than recall

more seldom than a wave is wet

more frequent than to fail

it is most mad and moonly

and less it shall unbe

than all the sea which only

is deeper than the sea

love is less always than to win

less never than alive

less bigger than the least begin

less littler than forgive

it is most sane and sunly

and more it cannot die

than all the sky which only

is higher than the sky

Be of love a little more careful than of anything.

- e.e. cummings

Rock 'N' Roll, BABE!

The Magic of 1902

LA VOYAGE DANS LA LUNE

a Film by Illusionist Georges Méliès



« Il était si gentil, toujours de bonne humeur, toujours plein d'idées pour se distraire et distraire le monde. Sportif, dynamique, jeune d'allure, foncièrement honnête, très droit, toujours de bonne humeur, il restait dans l'adversité le même homme sage et philosophique. Il n'était pas désenchanté. Ce n'est pas étonnant qu'on découvre aujourd'hui la fraîcheur et l'enchantement de son oeuvre, car il est resté très près de ses rêves et de la poésie de l'enfance. (...)

Mélies était la joie de vivre, la malice au coin des yeux, une pirouette qui efface ce qui peut faire mal. »


« He was so nice, always cheerful, always full of ideas to amuse and entertain the world. Athletic, dynamic, young-looking, basically honest, very straight, always in a good mood, he was in the same adversity wise and philosophical. He was not not disenchanted. It is not surprising that today we find freshness and charm in his work, because he remained very close to his dreams and poetry of childhood. (...)

Melies was the joy of living, malice around the eyes, a spin that clears what hurts. »

The happiness of giving lies in giving what you give gladly and for what you want nothing in return.

When you take an object, alter it -add or subtract from it- and thus rid it of its practical purpose, 

it becomes artistic.

A few weeks ago I had a wonderful conversation with my friend. We stayed up until 3 o' clock in the morning sharing life stories and thoughts. He said something to me that in that moment changed my life and completely opened my eyes: We have to be aware not only of the energies we carry, that we send out, but be aware of those that come back to us. I had told him that I was spending a lot of time on a certain project that just didn't come to any good no matter how much time and love I invested in it. He told me a story of when he and his girlfriend broke up, she broke off all contact but he still hoped to see her, to have the slightest contact with her. They lived on the same street and for one year he went out at any time of the day, mostly at hours he knew she would leave the house and not once did he run into her. After a year he finally realized it; he had spent all this time trying to make it happen but nothing ever came of it. It wasn't meant to be and he had to accept that. 

This story and the essence of what he was telling me stuck with me for a long time, it still does. No matter how much we want something to happen or how much engergy we contribute to something, we have to be aware of the engery coming back from it and adjust to that, to be in tune 

with our surrounding and with the people in our lives.

Hoping an inch of good is worth a pound of years.

- Ray Bradbury "If Only We Had Taller Been"

☼ LEARN ☼

Learn. Learn everyday about all kinds of things. Everything you can learn
you should open yourself to it, listen, absorb.
Learn about philosophy, art, chemistry, poetry, theology, psychology, math, literature.
But don't take it all in too seriously. Take it like a child: Listen, learn and then go back to playing.

☽KINDNESS☾

Paint me with the essence of your kindness
Turn to the beast within my willow heart
With the gentlest of hands
As the ocean strokes the rough and brittle sand

- Hannah Maureen Muth

“As you think, you travel, and as you love, you attract. You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.”

☼ Childhood Magic ☼

Soaked clothes, dirty feet, adventure possessed, spinning 'till the world turns upside down,
catching frogs, chasing shadows, riding bikes so fast our feet flew off
the pedals, holding hands, sunbathing in the grass, applauding the
cricket concert, packing our bags, not looking back until the sun goes down,
barefoot races, horse-shoe tracing, making wishes to the dandelion,
plucking daisies along the way, oh the beauty of
childhood magic

☽HOME☾

We took to the woods
Like the sun to the sky
The winds they taught us how to be
Ever changing in the end
There is no pursuit, only journey
And journey is the home
We long to build, to live in
There is no gold waiting at it's end
Our home is our heart

- Hannah Maureen Muth

☽ PAX PALOSCIA ☾

My wonderful and dear friend Pax Paloscia and I got together while both living in New York City
in the beginning of 2011 and took some photographs together, from those photographs 

she created these Artworks.

Since we met years ago (when I assisted at her exhibiton) I've been a big admirer of her artwork, she inspires me so much with her colors and her eye for a kind of magical reality.

I'm so honored that she chose me to be one of her subjects in photography

and art, to be part of her creation.
