Audio Greeting :)

Softly speak the angels of the deep.
Beyond forever, beyond time.
Wherever we are, you shall be.
So quietly go, and remember this peace. *

Hats off to my muses and their magic; Horus who sits on my shoulder, the Archangel Ariel who watches over me, and the Magi Chorus who sing to me. Their conversation and song guide me and inspire me and their close compansionship comforts me as I do this work that I love.

Some definitions about my writing and art that I find useful:


Surrealism = Pure psychic automatism, by which one proposes to express, either verbally, in writing, or by any other manner, the real functioning of thought. Dictation of thought in the absence of all control exercised by reason, outside of all aesthetic and moral preoccupation. (Wikipedia)

Mysticism = Seeing with the eyes closed, initiation. The pursuit of achieving communion, identity with, or conscious awareness of ultimate reality, the Other, divinity, spiritual truth, or God through direct experience, intuition, or insight. (Wikipedia)

Spiritualism = Belief in communication with the spirits of discarnate humans. The spirits themselves are capable of growth and perfection, progressing through successively higher spheres or planes. The afterlife is therefore not a static place, but one in which spirits continue to evolve. The two beliefs: that contact with spirits is possible, and that spirits may lie on a higher plane, lead to a third belief, that spirits are capable of providing useful knowledge about moral and ethical issues, as well as about the nature of God and the afterlife. These spirit guides are relied upon for worldly and spiritual guidance. (Wikipedia)

Occultism = The study of occult or hidden wisdom, the search for the deeper truth that is always hidden in plain sight. Occultism can involve subjects such as magic, extra-sensory perception, astrology, spiritualism, numerology and lucid dreaming. Also includes religious eclectism involving the interpretation of historical religions within the context of each other or within the context of mysticism. A broad definition of occultism is offered by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke:

"Occultism has its basis in a religious way of thinking, the roots of which stretch back into antiquity and which may be described as the Western esoteric tradition. Its principal ingredients have been identified as Gnosticism, the Hermetic treatises on alchemy and magic, Neo-Platonism, and the Kabbalah, all originating in the eastern Mediterranean area during the first few centuries AD." (Wikipedia)

As a writer and researcher in these subject, I stretch the roots of occultism further back to the Mediterranean Bronze Age when occultism was new, when it was a way of being and thinking long before it became an "ism." The Phaistos Disk is my link to the time before written history when the "Western estoeric tradition" was lived and breathed by people who did so intuitively and without conscious intent.
