Elen of the Ways – the return of the hunter-gatherer

Posted on May 2, 2014 in Book reviews, Spiritual living

Forest Sprite by Amy Brown

I love synchronicity, and it’s often been mentioned in previous articles I’ve written. The more you open to it, the more and magically it occurs and I always welcome the universe’s message.

In recent weeks, it’s been the presence of deer that has caught my attention. I love the woodlands, and so we often choose to camp where the trees are plentiful, but in all my life I’ve never seen so many!The first appearance branded on my memory was in Devon, when out for a morning walk we saw a whole herd of fallow deer across a field from us, hovering shyly at the edge of the forest.

Finn with old and new tennis balls

The joy of tennis balls

While we’ve been travelling, my dog Finn has naturally developed his own magical interchange and relationship with the places we visit. His particular connection seems to involve tennis balls, which are one of his great passions. Bear with me……

What has been happening over the months is that he keeps finding tennis balls wherever we go.

The Aeon Tarot card

With the Sun, you reached a point of being able to express every aspect of your soul. The next step is to go further, and to align with spirit consciousness.

When you reach the Aeon, you’re really ready to step outside of time and space and tap into the realms of divine knowing. You’re able to see everything through Spirit’s eyes and every event as having meaning on a much higher plane.

Standing in your power

My spiritual journey has taken me into many disciplines and paths, but essentially I believe the underlying message in all of them is the same, and very simple. We and every other living thing in the universe are part of each other and God/Goddess, and to fully embrace this understanding we must embody three qualities in particular – love, wisdom and power. For women, this is illustrated beautifully in the image of the three-aspected goddesses that are present in all world cultures. I resonate particularly with Brighid, the Celtic goddess who is inspiring light-bringer, healer and mistress of the fiery forge.

The Sun Tarot card

After the dream-like and mysterious moonlight, the sun shines bright and clear. You have passed an important test and new-found courage brings with it the freedom to express joyfully every aspect of the soul without fear.

As a being of light you’re blazing strongly now in your own right from your inner source, not just as a reflector, and you’ll draw to you others of similar brightness who share the same conciousness and ideals.
