Content Warning - the posts titled "for Sunday evening's meditation-clearing include news links, which may be to news articles on distressing topics. Other posts address issues related to conflict, violence & war, and matters such as changing the personality of oppressors. As I work through updating these posts,. I will try to add CWs here, but that will take some time.
A few
links including the problems that men who are sexually assaulted have (mockery,
for one), runes, discrimination, society, Pagan news, etc - you know, the usual
sort of mix :)

From a
busy time of life, in the middle of a heatwave, some newly found (by me!) blogs (Teo Bishop and T. Thorne Coyle), and thoughts in response to
those, as a result of reading Marion Zimmer Bradley's "Heartlight"
in response to the departure of “God’s Rottweiler” (in particular, strong religious leadership is not necessarily good
simply because it is strong) and an attempt to get a positive perspective
from recent perspectives on vampires.

(corrected typo in title)
A bit
of history predating the modern Pagan movement and the New Age, getting into
what are often termed ‘mystery schools’ and ‘orders’ of the ‘Western mystical
tradition’ - groups such as the Rosicrucians. After reviewing their strengths
and weaknesses, I suggest there may be a need for ‘low magic orders’ as a
contrast to the "High Magic" / Ceremonialist groups of the past.

Carren
Smith’s brilliant book, as good as Ingrid Poulson's book "Rise",
and the resilience approach she developed out of her tragic experiences. (The book includes an elegant resolution of
one of the problems I have with forgiveness as it is preached in the New Age
movement.) On the other hand, I found many flaws with Eckhart Tolle's book "A
New Earth". And some thoughts on dreams vs. responsibilities, and a
bunch of reading links.

The
need to flexible when advocating for something that works for oneself - for
instance, the alternate nostril breathing I use is anathema to some people.
Also, from that discussion, should one aim to achieve mastery of a wide range
of psychic skills, or focus on the few that are of interest?

others as you would like to be treated", domestic violence, what spiritual
growth is NOT, my views on the timing of Solstices and a comment on current

The
importance of practice (including of
spirituality), using chakras as a way of assessing character and state or
stage of spiritual development, the constraining influence of fear (particularly when unacknowledged or
unknown), simplifying lifestyles, when we get a lift from someone or
something we may also be exerting a drag down on them, are conspiracy
theorists actually tuning in to astral events (they’re not, in my view, very often tuned into physical events!)
and lighting candles online.
