The Habit of Familiarity and How to combat it
To my Celtic folk, magic wheeldiers, and pagans of all kinds Welcome! I know as I type this the election night is commencing and as the dark November days draw in, our working lives begin similarly to draw close about us, I have no idea where the majority of my readers are but for ones who work the office life that daily round begins to grind: the very position of a desk or a table, the same blank faces on the street, the systematic regularity become like the beat of hammer, emphasizing how very dull and ordinary every day seems.

Which is Witch?
When we think of witches we generally think of a scary woman using animals and children for her spells. We see a grotesque green face covered in warts. What if I were to tell you that is not a witch at all? You probably wouldn't believe me, right? Bear with me and keep an open mind. I'm about to change your idea of witches forever.

The Obsession with New Age Spiritual Bypassing
What is spiritual bypassing? The term "Spiritual Bypassing" was first introduced by Buddhist teacher John Welwood in the 1980's. To explain thoroughly, spiritual bypassing occurs when an individual becomes disillusioned using spirituality as a band-aid to disconnect from reality to create a "good vibes only" persona. When I first dove into spirituality I remember falling into this trap myself. I was following influencers who would preach "love and light" culture, making people believe that if they didn't exude happiness and peace at all times, on all fronts, that they were doing something wrong and in turn attracting "negative" events and situations into their life. This issue with this ideal is that, quite frankly, we are humans. In the human experience there are wide ranges of emotions, and wide ranges of experiences. These things can simply not be avoided. There will be times that we face loss, that we will grieve, we will feel anger, we will witness injustice, we will see things that need changing and we will recognize that the world around us is not "Good Vibes Only". If every human being throughout time used the spiritual bypassing mechanism, there would be no improvements in human rights, or equality, or even technological advances. If we all sat back and decided that everyone's life is spouting rainbows and roses, we would lose our ability to improve and to help one another and ourselves.

Pregnancy prediction by date of birth helps with pregnancy problems
Exactly when an unpleasant problem appears in someone's life, and they make honest attempts to solve this problem. But they cannot deal with this problem without someone else, and a large number of them gradually run out at the moment they are complete, in the dark about their future.
