Part 1 — No Victims — Introduction to this 10-Part Series The Magician knows, enjoys and celebrates herself as image. Nothing more, nothing less. Neither real, nor unreal, nor both, nor neither. Wholly beyond conception or categorisation of the limited and limiting Mind. Imaginal, if you do want to put words to it. There is a…

Goodness of the Goddess — The fact of human suffering has long been referred to as evidence of lack of an intelligent creator of the universe, and indeed of any divine order whatsoever. I want to question this premise, and instead explore the notion that human suffering is evidence of a very profound gift: the…

Both limited and limitless. Neither god nor not god. — The human individual often gets placed in extreme metaphysical positions. That is to say, we place ourselves in extreme metaphysical positions.
