  1. Stop Wearing Polyester

    Stop Wearing Polyester

    I get out my dowsing cards and pendulum to find a quirky antidote to overinvesting in social media. Removing polyester clothing from your wardrobe is one small step to tip the scales against the ascending Ahrimanic force, the technologically tyrannical life we live in our current times. How? Polyester clothing is an endocrine disruptor, causing infertility. Polyester is also bad for the environment and the body as it releases microplastics. What looks and feels like a soft stylish shirt is deceptively damaging upon further thought and investigation. Furthermore, polyester holds a negative charge, causing static shocks to the wearer. This is in opposition to the practice of earthing where someone would walk on the earth in bear feet so the body absorbs the negative charge of the earth. Earthing is a way of connecting to spirit, better thoughts and ideas which is where the connection lies between Ahriman and polyester clothing. Purging polyester clothing from the wardrobe promotes the possibility of proper electrical charge of the body, from the earth bringing the soul back. Some say that earthing is a way of connecting our spiritual selves to our daily life, which is exactly what Ahriman strives to prevent.  I think one very good, simple solution to the Ahrimanic explosion is making conscious choices with clothing.

    Tarot Pathfinder

    If you "know the rules", understand Natural Law, act in kindness, act in service of good… then the woo-woo stuff can be a valuable tool. In fact, you can do anything you want! Tarot, dowsing and more can be the tools in your toolkit to help you with many aspects of your life. You can receive advice on: things you are missing in your life; your diet; exercise; your health condition; shadow aspects of yourself that need addressing; environmental changes that need attention. Is Tarot something that can be used to serve and help others? There is an aspect to Tarot reading services that can be disempowering for the client. The client may be yielding their power, handing it over to the reader, because they are afraid to take action on something. Sometimes, taking action is the best way forward, regardless of the outcome. Tarot reading might be more unpopular if the reader was to be more direct and honest. I am interested in this dynamic, because in a way, people are looking to be told what to do… and no-one likes being told what to do! Books Crispin, Jessa. (2016).

  3. Dire Circumstances in Fairy Tales (Reasons for Eliminating Fairy Tales)

    Dire Circumstances in Fairy Tales (Reasons for Eliminating Fairy Tales)

    Pablo Picasso said, “We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realise truth at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.” There is some connection between art, creativity, the subconscious mind and the space in which young children hold themselves. The point being, in art, things are not what they seem. There are symbols that lead us to a deeper truth. This is the case with Fairy Tales. We read through Lying, Truthtelling and Storytelling in Children's and Young Adult Literature, by Anita Tarr. We are trying to highlight the importance of "Fairy Tales as nutrition for the soul". Extreme poverty, for example, found in Mother Goose Stories does not promote depression, futility and a future of poverty. It will add to the world-view of the child, organise the experience, grow cognition and the ability to recognise and overcome problems. Poverty in Fairy Tales is often a starting point on a journey of growth and overcoming the odds. As ever, taking away themes of hardship and violence in children's stories doesn't affirm our role as guardian, nor does it protect children from these realities they may face in life. In fact it reduces the likelihood of facing these life-challenges in a positive way. Books Tarr, Anita. (2024).

    Fairy Tales are Violent (Reasons for Eliminating Fairy Tales)

    In this episode of Otherworld Connections, we begin an exploration of the culture around fairy tales. We start off with one of the five main reasons why fairy tales are being banned, edited or censored. The first and foremost reason is regarding violence. We unpack how the term "violence" is misunderstood and by editing fairy tales actually increases the violent content in fairy tales!
