We ARE the DIVINE

The unmanifest DIVINE
Is manifested in my SOUL;
It is
The Dew
That shines
In the heart
Of the Lotus.


There is no other Truth that is quite as healing as this one simple mantra. It reminds us that we are never far from our Best Selves, never truly alone or abandoned - and never EVER beyond the reach or forgiveness of our own DIVINITY.


We do no NEED forgiveness, or acceptance; we do not need ‘saving’ nor validation from any other god or religion: because, we ARE god - right here, in this moment: a fragment, a shard, a particle of the infinitude that has been through an infinite number of material manifestations throughout the whole history of the evolving cosmos itself - finally en-corporated into THIS flesh, THIS soul, THIS moment of unfolding presence and consciousness.


And that’s not ‘just’ some of the most ancient Spiritual teaching that is shared by almost every ancient culture and spiritual path - it’s what SCIENCE tells us too: that the very atoms of our body and the spark in our souls where born in the Big Bang and forged over millennia in the hearts of generations of stars - and all of that infinite unfolding and Becoming has culminated here, now, in the complex proteins that carry oxygen in the red beat of your blood, and the 64 base codes of the DNA that sits in every cell of your body, and in the spark of electrons across the vast multitude of synapses between the infinitude of neurones in the dark temple of your skull - and that YOU now experience as ‘thought’

You are as old as time, as vast as the Universe - and you ARE ENOUGH.


Om Mani Padme Om


And it is so easy to forget in the muddle and dust of every day living. But even Jesus said the same when he told us ‘You are the child of God’; not ‘the creation’ or ‘the mistake’ but the CHILD: born of the Divine and One with it, if we can only forgive OURSELVES and embrace our True and Best and Higher Self.


But, says the Ego: why does it sometimes feel like I’m not enough, or not worthy of such Grand Revelations...?


Because you have learnt to believe the lie of your own negative-ego

No birth, no death

No birth, no death The Buddha taught that Nirvana comes when we awaken to the Truth that our essential selves have never been born, and so can never die.  But this is not just a spiritual’ belief, it’s literal and physical too. E=MC2 enshrines the Truth that neither matter nor energy can be destroyed, only transformed, each into the other. NOTHING ever ‘dies’, nor is it truly ‘born’ - all things material are simply recycled, reused and repurposed. EVERYTHING that makes up what you think of a ‘me’ is actually ‘borrowed’: the minerals in your bones and cells that used to be part of the Earth, the carbon and oxygen that fuels your body that comes from the plants and animals you consume to live, the DNA that tells your body how and ‘who’ to be that come from your parents and ancestors - even the ideas and beliefs in your head that you learnt from Wise Ones and Teachers of the past - EVERYTHING that makes up ‘you’ has all previously been parts of something else Greater and more continuous t

Where have the young witches gone…? #paganpride

We celebrated Beltain this weekend at a beautiful Grand Sabbat - a coming together of eight different covens and lines to call up the Oak and the May, and give our love and energy to the land. It was a truly beautiful and heart opening evening - but for the thoughtful comment from one of our young Third Degrees, after being introduced to all the familiar old faces Geoff and I have known for decades :  “Where are the witches of my generation? Where is the New Blood that will keep the Craft alive and thriving…?”  And it’s true: we used to get regular emails and requests from people all over the U.K. in response to  The Wellhead ’s pages - most of them young pagans desperate to find a Traditional Coven to work and learn with, yet unable to find anyone else online or ‘open’; that utter lack of accessible and open signposting to the Initiatory Craft was the reason we first established our online presence - and it’s how many of the Witches we’ve initiated and trained came to find the Craft a

Yogi, Buddhist, or Occultist…?

I was asked a really good question at this months Frampton Moot :  “How does your Yoga inform your Witchcraft?” - which threw me because I don't see them as separate things, but tools for living and Enlightenment. Many Westerners think of Yoga as either a form of exercise and stretching, or as some kind of esoteric ‘spiritual gymnastics’ - rarely do they understand that it is an embodiment practice of “coming home” to the miracle of incarnation.  Yoga is only one small part of a bigger philosophy and way of being in the world, rooted in thousands of years of teachings and practices that evolved from the peoples of the Indus Valley: one of the oldest civilisations, with roots and connections right back to the Cradle of Civilisation itself, in the Fertile Crescent of Mesopotamia, Sumer, and Egypt - where humanity first moved from itinerant hunter-gatherers to settled farmers, and birthed a flowering of human arts, culture and religious understanding that still form the roots of most
