“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”

Roald Dahl

I believe night creatures are secret keepers.

I believe stars are wishes being made.

I believe there is no hell, or heaven, but a place of creation we all stop at before moving on to our next incarnation or start the ascension process.

I believe people are scared to swim in my depths.

I believe most days I am scared to swim in my depths.

I believe Magick is neither black nor white but everything and nothing.

I believe in the power of the Serpent and Dove.

I believe that the Wild Woman will make this planet whole again.

I believe toxic masculinity has poisoned our Divine Masculine and He needs to be revived.

I believe plants are Spirits—

I believe just about everything is Spirit.

I believe in the grounding power of walking barefoot as often as possible.

I believe our hair is antenna.

I believe this list doesn’t truly begin to cover all that I believe.

I believe the complexities of my belief make me a divinely unique being.

I believe you are the same, too.
