How did I do it?
First of all, by hitting rock bottom twice in a space of four days.
After those hellish days, I began spellwork and ritual. Intense work. I disconnected from my entire family and boyfriend for twenty-four hours. I went into cave mode. I did spell after spell after spell after spell, summoning over and over all the power I could with my beaten-up mind, heart and spirit, and stating my intentions and requests like a broken record. I went through seven candles and a whole pack of incense in one day. I went out to my garden and harvested basil, which I tied upside down with pink ribbons in my cave. At 9pm, I put on workout clothes and gave my all to an exercise routine with the intention of raising energy in & around my body. It worked more or less, I didn’t reach my own expectations, but I understood that I was weak after seven months of depression. I told myself that the next day would be better and took a shower, washing away the yuckiness of the day and keeping the good energy. I did yet another spell and went to bed.
I slept horribly that night, and stomachache and nausea kept waking me up. I had to get up around 3am to go throw up. There was nothing weird in my dinner and I was pretty sure that this had to do with throwing up energetic yuck. I thought that something must be shifting inside and that my cells must be reestructuring themselves.
The next morning, I woke up feeling low. A part of me was disappointed that nothing seemed to have changed after all that work, but the other part of me knew that I had to insist. The minute I woke up I engaged in ritual. I spent the entire day doing rituals, spells, ceremonies & workouts in order to raise energy in the body and surroundings, and listened to a few podcasts in between workings. I had incense and candles burning at all times, sometimes two or three at the same time, since I would perform spell after spell non-stop. Setting intention after intention.
Again, did a workout at 9pm, and this time I did feel changed, unlike the previous day. Took a shower, did the last spell of the day and went to sleep listening to a podcast.
The next day I woke up at 7am. This hadn’t happened in over a year. I had been sleeping in until 9’30, 10, 11am for months. Suddenly, I was up at 7 with a level of high energy I hadn’t experienced in a long time. Ritual. Spellwork. Then breakfast. Then more spells. Dozens of candles and incense packs used.
A month after I began doing those things, I’m feeling much better than I did before summer began. I’ve barely had any contact with my parents or sibling at all, which means I have no external influences at this point, and I don’t get to hang out with my boyfriend often because he works a lot. This leaves me with a ton of alone time in my hands, which has been good for me.
I’m still far from feeling at my best, but I have a positive light inside that I hadn’t felt in what feels like forever. I’m also feeling more sociable (whaaaat?) and have a desire to go out of the house often (what??? unheard of!). It’s a lot of work that I’ve been doing, and of course I’m impatient often and wish I could get to my goal faster, but I am where I am. Patience.

To my sorrow — a mark of my failings — I no longer always engage with people on the street: homeless or not. I used to: I used to smile and say Hello to everyone, meeting their eyes and offering out my heart, hoping it would be some small gesture, that, maybe, a token of my love would brighten their day.As is often the case with naiveté and innocence (of which I both have a shocking abundance and disturbing lack of, depending on the situation), mine bit me in the ass a few too many times to continue to so openly offer myself. I was followed, harassed. Screamed at.Straight up challenged to a fight on a busy New York street, all 120 pounds of me slack-jawed in bewilderment.Because, when you’re in pain, who really wants someone smiling and making eye contact all the time? Who did I think I was? A rainbow fairy?So now, I often nod. Avert my eyes. Give the tight-lipped smile that is a fan favorite at funerals and cancer wards.But this girl.She was my sister’s age — about 25 — and earnestly pretty through her sunburned, tear and dirt-streaked face. Her freckles were fresh as new milk, and her eyes were hollow and old. She was holding a sign that said Just hungry.Hunched over, she counted pennies on the sidewalk and I counted blessings that I don’t deserve, circumstances and coincidences that put me in Yoga pants and her in rags.Both counting.All I could bring her was dinner and my own shame. I placed the bag at her feet, head bowed, and cautioned a glimpse into her face.She looked like Christmas morning. I felt like last night’s party.I wanted to thank her: for humility, for humanity.For the struggle she carries and the mirror she gave me.All I could do was nod.

Viral product provokes immune response against RSV
Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania recently found that a subset of viral products once thought to serve no biological purpose in humans could provoke a strong immune defense against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).Nearly all people are exposed to RSV before they turn 2 years old. The majority of these people appear to have the common cold symptoms of coughing, a runny nose, sneezing and a fever. Some very young infants as well as some older adults can have serious reactions to RSV, even needing hospitalization.

Celtic Mysticism, the Goddess and Permaculture…
Perlagonium continues to flower.
The nights are drawing in.
Autumn begins to harvest the land of leaves and green, as Winter waits in the wings…
The culture of the West, and its reliance on centralized government, has lost its way regarding Nature, seeing her only as a resource!
Politically, governments have aligned themselves and us with the world of big business.
The madness of the policy of continued economic growth amid finite energy sources…and all to create more and more wealth for a very few, including themselves.

This smallholding of 3 acres continues to give up her harvest.
It is incredible to think that gardening and growing food, as we know it today, has only been operative since World War One and the use of chemicals on the land.
Rarely is Nature now regarded as sacred, valuable in itself and in any way seriously considered.
This has happened in less than three generations.
