Wordless Wednesday
(Podcast episode is being recorded, and more substantial blog posts are being written. In the meantime, here is cuteness)
I'm your bag, messing up your arts & crafts!
Chop Wood, Carry Water
It’s amazing how the mind (and the rest of ourselves) falls into routines and patterns and learns to prefer certain methods over others. I am truly a creature of habit.
The majority of my adult life has been spent living on acreages of one sort or another, having access to large tracks of land, privacy and all that comes with it. As such my most effective methods for inducing trance states, (and any or all altered states of consciousness) which would be the step towards Crossing or full on ecstatic work, are built around a rural life.

My learning to play the tambourine continues. Read about my choice of instrument here and see pictures of her here.I know how to hold it in a couple of different positions and the different ways to strike it.
