What Is Pagan Metaphysics?

Science & Spirit In Balance

A View of Metaphysics from a Pagan Perspective.

Physics is the study of the observed world. What we can see, observe and determine from watching the reaction or interaction of tangible things.

Metaphysics is the study of the unseen world. That which we believe exists. The word “meta” means higher and beyond. Here we’re talking about the concepts beyond physics.

Thus metaphysics is the study of the world beyond physical observation. In this definition Metaphysics is a philosophy of physics that tries to solve the questions that material science cannot. It is the study of life beyond physics, between physical and spiritual observations. Where did we come from? Who are we? Why are we here? Continue reading →

Unraveling the mystery of consciousness

Feb6

This is an interesting article that I thought was worth sharing.

The Consciousness of the MindUnraveling the mystery of consciousness on CNN. An article by Antonio Damasio, Special to CNN.

Antonio Damasio, author of “Self Comes to Mind“, published by Pantheon/Vintage, is a professor of neuroscience and director of the Brain and Creativity Institute at the University of Southern California. He spoke at the TED2011 conference in Long Beach, California. TED is a nonprofit dedicated to “Ideas worth spreading,” which it makes available through talks posted on its website.

Of course this is a discussion from the point of view of physics and not metaphysics. But give science a little time to catch up with the wisdom of the ages that many walking a spiritual path understand and accept. Continue reading →

Holding Respect With Love

Imitate Nature's RespectThe Key To Successful Relationships

It seems today that our society has created an environment that makes it near to impossible for people to find deep loving and long lasting relationships. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) tracks marriage and divorce rates in the U.S.

In 2002 Report 23, Number 22 they presented one of the last statistical reviews of American marriages. Among the findings in the report: unmarried co-habitations overall are less stable than marriages.  The probability of a first marriage ending in separation or divorce within 5 years is 20 percent, but the probability of a premarital cohabitation breaking up within 5 years is 49 percent. After 10 years, the probability of a first marriage ending is 33 percent, compared with 62 percent for co-habitations.

But they don’t explain what happens to second marriages or co-habitations. I personally fall in that category and I’d be interested in knowing what the statistics show. We’ve been together 10years and we have a son. We have no plans on changing our co-habitation into a legal marriage. We had that license in the first relationships and both of those failed. Maybe they’ll cover that in the next decade. Continue reading →

My New Blog!

The Wolf Within

I’m excited to welcome you to my new blog!

We’re rolling out my new blog this weekend. I feel like a little kid with a new toy. I love it! The team did a great job with the design and set up. And I love that we were able to use my Merlin and bring the wolf more into the picture.

Basically we’ve upgraded my static author’s site and created this interactive version. Now I can share the topics, comments and insights that have been stuck on Facebook, out here in the open world. We began the set-up a few days ago; our official ‘established on’ date was February 1st, 2012. So I’ve been able to add the messages for the daily Tarot Meditation Drawings and the additional insight that’s usually be secluded on FB. 

I’m looking forward to the days and months ahead. To sharing news, information, questions & answers. I hope you’ll be a part of the new site and get as much out of as I know I will!

Many Blessings –
Spring

Many have asked what tarot deck I use for the daily drawing. Right now, I use the Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft for the daily drawing. You can learn more about this deck @ Amazon.com. I love this deck. It has great detail and imagery that provides the symbolic messages one needs to decipher the insight from a tarot card.

Here are a few examples of the deck.

Taking Another Look At Dec. 12, 2012

2012 The Year Of Prophesied Doom

Back in November 2009 the movie “2012” was released and it honestly scared a lot of people. Now two years later we’re coming into the Year of Prophesied Doom and no doubt the air waves are going to be overwhelmed with specials, investigative reports, secret insights and “expert” interpretations of the Mayan Calendar ‘prophecies’. I thought it might be a good idea to take another look at the claims being made by so-called professional insiders and get some real facts from actual academic and professional experts.

Mayan Calendar TabletOn a side note..Since writing the original article I’ve seen the movie that inspired the article. I’m usually critical of people who nit-pick at movies. For me, movies are designed to suspend reality for a brief time to entertain. Even movies that are designed to retell history are not wholly accurate or factual. So there’s a difference between a movie and a documentary. Continue reading →

Believe In You!

Merlin von HabbenhausPep Talks To Help You Be Inspired

Sometimes we get so busy telling others to have confidence in their knowledge and abilities that we forget to do that for ourselves. Why is that?

It doesn’t matter how many years of experience, accolades or good feedback you get from others, if you don’t believe in yourself. We all have doubts and question some of the things we do, our plans or even our dreams. Many try to put those self doubts aside and steamroll our actions forward regardless. But even having them in your subconsciousness work away at your mental or physical being.

Find something that will provide you with the confirmation you need to find that confidence within. Maybe it’s going back to school, or taking a class. Maybe it’s attaining a license of some sort, or working at a particular type of business where you can learn from others you have respect for. Whatever it is for you, start working on it for YOU.

Remember ..ego isn’t always a bad word. As with all things; it’s about balance.

I have written several articles over the years to help give yourself some inspiration, a pep talk or tools to handle stress, fear and anxiety. From ways to create plans and supports, to confidence builders that help you manifest your dreams. YOU can have the confidence within yourself to change for the better and succeed! You really can do this!! Whatever the challenge, whatever the dream; you have the ability to create and manifest success. You merely have to start Believing In You!

We’re just getting started. We hope you’ll stay tuned and come back often to visit.

The world is moving quickly and changes are constantly flying by. The same is true for websites. This year we’ve decided to move my official author site from a generic static website to a blog. This change is very exciting and will allow me to share insight, inspiration, news and discussion on a broader scale than we’ve been providing on Facebook.

I hope you like the new look and will enjoy the greater interaction! I know I’m looking forward to it.
