"Finding Their Voice"
sculpture by Ken Starbird
“Do what you will, but harm no one. What you give will be returned to you threefold. Fall in love whenever you can. “ These are words from an Alice Hoffman book I recently finished called Magic Lessons. Some of you may have read or seen the movie, Practical Magic. After this book she wrote two others tracing the ancestors of this family. In the latest, we go back to the 1600s in Salem, Massachusetts and witness the fear which colored the lives of people who killed things they didn’t understand. Whether it was brown-skinned people who lived off the land or black crows which seemed to mock them, these men killed for fun and ruled their women with an iron hand. The women who refused to follow their Bible-based so-called rules were done away with, and no one was able to stop the murders. But many free spirits continued to be visited by other women late at night, searching for healing herbs and spells to calm their men — or bring them the true love they desperately sought. Historical fiction allows us to witness the parallels with many of today’s surprising events. Human nature causes us to sink back to the depths of depravity and ignorance which would be laughable if it weren’t tragic. For this reason, we must continue the uncovering of our true Selves. We are divinely created and that is seen when it is acknowledged and embraced. The tipping point of human awakening is near. Don’t forget…
“Corrective learning always begins with the awakening of spirit, and the turning away from the belief in physical sight. This often entails fear, because you are afraid of what your spiritual sight will show you.” T-2.V.7:1-2
