I’ve been reading and thinking about the Pyramids. You know the ones, pointy, crumbling, surrounded by desert, associated with dead kings and such, Yeah, those pyramids. Valley of the Kings type pyramids. Scientists, archaeologists, engineers, architects, mystics, Egyptologists, and crackpots have been trying to figure out for literally centuries, how they did that. How the […]
What would happen if, instead of a boy, the Earth-Mother’s Solstice birthing produced a girl? I have a fuzzy idea of where that thought came from, but I don’t think it really matters. What matters is, what would happen if we ran the cycle of the year through cooperative, feminine power instead of dominating male […]
Welcome to Shadow Farms, where we use our crap to fertilize the crop. The Long Dark is upon us, and for some people, it’s a hard time of year to love. Not for me. I was born on a New Moon in the heart of Winter, double Sagittarius, me. I adore the dark. I don’t […]
Want to cast a spell of democracy? Vote. Witches Work Come on come on, all my Witches Get into my kitchen, there’s work to be done We gotta bubble up this cauldron, here in my kitchen And bubble up some trouble for the foolish ones Come on come on, all my Witches What are the […]
A while back, I posted about listening back to my old old music, from recordings made in the 1990s, and how surreal that was. This past week, I have been archiving this blog, in order to move this whole dang website to a new home, soundworkshealingarts.com, coming soon. It took a lot longer than it […]
No, I’m not saying felt is sentient (though I have seen some smart felt), nor am I saying that felting is a sensible thing to do (although it is pretty cool). Heartfelt thanks go out to my dear friend Lynn for putting these two words together in my ears. Felt. Sense. Felt sense. Here’s the […]
I was born a harp for the One Mind Never have I wanted more – or less From Iowa’s womb was I birthed In rich black earth was I planted to grow tall and strong Soundbox, pillar, and harmonic cuve carved, shaped and smoothed by delicate and loving fingers But my tuning pegs were hammered […]
So hey, all you lovely folks who have trained in this or that healing modality: Are you using those skills you paid to learn and worked so hard to master? If yes, great. Congratulations, you are a rare individual. If no, welcome to a very, very large club. Let’s talk about it a minute. I’ve been […]
2 million years seems like an absurdly long time, doesn’t it? That is the wild-pitch, longest possible length of time that humans, proto-humans, or human-like people have populated this much more ancient planet. When we think of it in terms of us, like “somebody like me,” living, breathing, walking, talking, singing, having babies, hunting, tending […]
The idea of coherence was recently brought gently back into my attention, and it feels like something we all need to be aware of and practice. When two things are in sync, when brainwaves and heartbeats entrain, we call that coherence. Entrainment is when, for example, two clocks started at different times in the same space […]
