To All Those Now Lost, You Will Find Yourself

I wonder when sin and free spirit connected. Why when I choose to let go my spontaneous behavior becomes reckless. When the spontaneity shines through me like candles, they wonder what the hell did I do? I took a deep breath, asked my brain if it was ready for this. Planted seeds in that very moment. My green thumb told me it was time. I've asked my spirit guides for help. Said guide me to the citadel of clarity.

I flushed the toxins out of my body through meditation. Ripped out all the parts that did not belong in my guts. Whispered to the universe I am here, ready for change to come in and light 'em up. Intuition, take me to the sun, to touch the stars of wisdom, kiss the moon in between singing lullabies to the planets. The zodiacs of truth filling the constellations in my soul. We are connecting stars in between flames of fire and Earth, we are here in a magnificent storm of astrology. Only the stars know where to take me from here. Time to run wild.

This was the ending of hurt and the beginning of self-love. As I packed boxes filled to the brim with forget me nots, I knew this was a chance of rebirth. This is your rebirth. Don't give up. We are here in our own gardens of youth growing new fruits and vegetables some have never heard of before. This is your time. You can dance in your own garden. Twirl through the soil, it's okay to get dirty sometimes. In the fruition of your own imagination, you have the ability to manifest all you desire.

So start now. Take a deep breath, let go of all the negativity and cultivate it into infinite opportunities. Your dreams started in your own head and they are at your fingertips now. They haven't moved far. Grasp on tight.

You are in for a wicked ride of manifestation. When you lose faith look up at the stars. You are your own constellation illuminating the sky. Take pride in the light you hold in your soul.

Seek yoga and meditation to balance your energy centers for this will create peace and clarity. Always remember Lao Tzu's words: "If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present."

Take in this moment with me. Recognize that sometimes you have to get lost to find yourself.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
