Introduction To Creative Flowdreaming
By: Summer McStravick
.............................................................
The following excerpt is taken from Creative

Flowdreaming: Manifesting Your Dreams in the
Life You’ve Already Got, (Hay House 2009) by
Summer McStravick. It is published by Hay House
and available online at www.hayhouse.com or at
your favorite bookstore.
.............................................................
Lately, I’ve come to see myself as something of a

manifesting practitioner. I suppose this is how
many disciplines evolve: with someone waking up
one day to discover that they’ve created
something wholly different—or at least a unique
variation on an old theme—then realizing that
others are fascinated by their findings, so they
begin to teach.
I’ve found a set of tools that works for me, and a

cohesive perspective about living that seems to
answer many of my questions, but which is still
incomplete. Within this perspective lies a very
spectacular truth: that you can learn to shape the
subtle energies of your life, and thereby become
a person with the ability to perform the magic of
manifesting, or of guiding the woof and weave of
the subtle energies that develop your future. But
the ability to direct these energies is almost a
side effect—a lesser truth—that pales against a
larger understanding of life that this book is largely about. When I began writing, I had a completely
different book in mind. I tried to write that book, but ended up writing instead about what is
interesting to me today—not what interested me two years ago when this book proposal was accepted.
I found that there was more power in the current unknown depths where I’m exploring, instead of in
the known shallows of last year and the years before those.
I was also surprised that I had to write so intimately, meaning from me to you. I had expected to write
something with a much more obvious scientific grounding, and offer everything in authoritative phrases
based on other people’s research as a crutch to support my own.
And then one day early on in the writing process, the thought, It’s just like Bird by Bird, popped into
my head. While it’s been years since I read Anne Lamott’s book about the art of writing, what I
distinctly remember is that it’s her very personal account of what it feels like to write. She’s less
concerned with giving people a technical how-to, involving plots and grammar, than simply sharing her
experience of what it means to have this creative art in her life. You don’t learn to write from her; you
learn to become a writer.
Introduction To Creative Flowdreaming By: Summer McStravick (cont'd)
In Lamott’s method, I saw the parallel to what I teach: the art of creative Flowdreaming, or
manifesting. Over the past four years, I’ve laid out the fundamentals of Flowdreaming and
Flowthinking in another book, eight CDs, and almost 250 hours of radio shows. Here, I won’t be
teaching you how to manifest; I’ll be teaching you how to become a manifester. (For some of you, this
may lead you to becoming a manifesting practitioner, too. Others may simply dabble in the art as
needed.)
I have an intense interest in laying out a picture of what it’s like to live and work within what I call the
Flow—of which Flowdreaming is an important aspect. Like Lamott, I find myself sharing my thoughts
and speculations with you. And almost every time I sit at my keyboard, musing over one nuance or
another of this practice, I try not to feel afraid that revealing to you honestly and candidly what I
don’t know will usurp the credibility of what I do know. I want to share my own doubts as well as the
shimmering breakthroughs that often came on the heels of those doubts.
The truth is that there’s still so much to discover; in fact, we’re still just learning how to ask the right
questions. So I’ll push you toward thinking about the things I’m thinking about. I’ll relate stories and
examples. I’ll tell you about lines of thinking that have opened new doors for me and taken me beyond
many of our traditional ways of understanding our world. And I’ll let you know why I think these ideas
may be true, as well as about cherished beliefs that no longer seem valid at all.
I was shocked several years ago when I realized that this idea of Flow, which so much in our lives
centers on, has made me completely overthrow the majority of my past spiritual beliefs. It’s as if the
basis of my spirituality has been ripped apart so that a new understanding can take hold. I’m now
going against the grain of most popular alternative religious practices and thought. What I’ve been led
to believe clashes with the popular interpretations of reincarnation; ghosts; karma; evil; out-of-body
and psychic experiences; and other Eastern, Western, and New Age beliefs. I didn’t try to do this. It
was the fallout from probing a very specific process—Flowdreaming.
Flowdreaming was the door that led to another universe.
There are many books today that use cutting-edge scientific research to discuss the idea that you can
shape your reality with your mind. Everything is “quantum” this and “quantum” that. However, once
it’s been scientifically established and brought out into the mainstream that you can change things—
manifest—through the power of your consciousness, then what? I hope to open your mind to the
possibilities that lay ahead. I want you to consider things that are brand new and possibly shocking. I
want you to learn how to work with and shape the energies we are all made from. I want you to have
hope and even enthusiasm for what this means for your life.
At the very least, you’re going to read the innermost musing of one woman’s mind as she’s undergone
certain strange experiences and reached conclusions based on her observations. You will be introduced
to new ideas, or at least new interpretations of very old ideas. Ultimately, you’ll come away with an
intimate portrait of how one person on this planet is living her life.
The book is organized in three parts. In the first, I’ve explained and defined such concepts as the Flow,
Flowdreaming, and manifesting. The second part presents Flowdreaming in a larger context and shows
where it’s taken me through the years—the real-world effect I’ve experienced from living so intimately
in the Flow. Part III, “Musings,” is a collection of essays that gives examples of where Flow energy has
been especially stimulating for me.
Introduction To Creative Flowdreaming By: Summer McStravick (cont'd)
I’ve curbed the scientific jargon in Creative Flowdreaming because I want you to think from the gut. I
wanted to write as if you and I were having dinner with friends. During this type of conversation, we’d
feel comfortable exploring the boundaries of our beliefs; we’d be stimulated by thinking about our
friends’ views and how they differ from our own. We’d be open with each other because we’d feel safe
—no one would be trying to convert us or make us defensive.
I hope you’ll identify with some of what I’ve written here. I really do believe that everything I’ve seen
and felt, others have seen and felt, too. I draw many parallels to the natural world, and it’s possible
that some natural scientists may not completely agree with arguments I’ve made . . . or they may find
further overlooked similarities. My analogies are meant to point out tendencies and natural parallels,
to show how systems reflect each other, and how all life is part of the same interconnected system.
What I’m doing is trying to draw you in to look at life from a particular perspective that offers great
power as opposed to struggle or victimization. How we live our lives is ultimately a choice. May the art
of creative Flowdreaming become yours.

Disclaimer: Not for the Faint of the Meta-Fizzly Heart
By: Danielle Egnew
I find myself wanting to begin this article with a disclaimer. When I find myself in this predicament, I
suddenly realize that perhaps I should try and approach another topic, one that does not require me to
back-peddle before I have, well, peddled any distance forward at all. However – that’s simply not my
style, so onward we press.
I work in what can only be termed as The Spiritual Industry. Yet curiously, and sadly, because I am at the
behest of those who hire me, very little of what I do involves edifying the spirit. In my understanding, my
job as a Clairvoyant Channel (or Medium, as I’ve been termed as of late), is to assist people with their
highest path. However, I find that most people are not interested in their highest path, but the easiest
path. And nary shall these two ever meet, until the compunction to substitute “easy” for “highest” is
worked out within the client.
As long as a client goes on about their business, deluding themselves that it is in their highest interest to
employ me, or Joe Psychic, or Madame LaZonka to “Psychicly Spy” on their ex, or try and guess the
Lottery numbers, or figure out why that one person they met on a dating site isn’t calling, although they
themselves have never called, written, or spoken to said person outside of a singular IM that read “lol, I
like hotdogs 2” – the client will continue to reap what we in the industry like to call “their own Karma”, and
we from Montana like to call “Buying their own horse-pucky.”
In other words, if you buy a pair of high heeled Versace shoes, and your justification on the $5000.00
price tag is that you’ve convinced yourself to wear them to the gym so you can feel good about your
work-out and less guilty about the car payment you’re now making on the shoes, then don’t go crying into
the locker room when you pop a heel at the first rotation of the Elliptical Hell Machine. And mostly – don’t
go crying to The Universe about how unfair it all is. Because any self-respecting Angel over your shoulder
would be forced, by Universal Law, to utter, “Well? What were you expecting from shoes made NOT to
work out with?” Angels are notorious for ending nearly Yoda-like sentences with prepositions -- an
unfortunate side effect of English as a second, or third, of fiftieth language, no doubt. But I digress.
Humanity is constantly puzzled by the fact that our most piddly effort brings forth the most piddly results.
And we will literally pour thousands of dollars into the pockets of Spiritual Workers, wanting to be told
otherwise. Considering I was teaching workshops and classes on the “Like-Attracts-Like” Universal Law
when “The Secret” was still in diapers, this human need to deny the obvious, to buck the system, to
execute the out-and-out denial of the same Spiritual Physics that dictate Piddly-Breeds-Piddly is, well – a
rather sad human trait.
In our infinitely stubborn human need to bash a square peg through a round spiritual hole, we really
believe that we can change the Spiritual Physics of Like-Attracts-Like if we just call enough 1-900-Psi-Grrl
lines until we get that ONE lady who is just there to make her son’s house payment, and will tell the client
anything they want to hear as long as the meter keeps running, thus, fostering a wrong belief that
“Destiny” is behind every inane decision the client ever wished to make. The truth could not be farther
from Madame LaZonka’s nail-filing, ramen-eating $3.99 a minute reading.
You see, for those of us who work in this field because we have a deep calling to assist in connecting the
client with their real-world ability to implement their most dynamic, powerful, inspired gifts, for no other
purpose than to help that soul shine as brightly as possible so that they may not only illuminate their own
path, but the path of others – this “fast-food-psychic advice” is not only disingenuous to the people paying
for good guidance, but it’s dangerous, as it’s one of the most predominant cornerstones in the building of
what I like to call the MetaFizzler Culture – the Zealous-Outside-The-Spiritual-Box equivalent of The
Religious Right.
Disclaimer: Not for the Faint of the Meta-Fizzly Heart By: Danielle Egnew
(cont'd)
MetaFizzlers are the bi-product of too many self-help books and too many 1-900-Psi-Grrl gift cards, who
are often seeking another reason for their good ol’ dose of American emotional laziness being the cause
of their lack of personal identity. MetaFizzlers refuse to accept that any intrinsic spiritual law, especially
Piddly-Breeds-Piddly, is a rule of thumb, because somewhere they read that if they click their heels
together three times, they’ll end up in Oz where Jim Morrison will have Tantric Sex with them until some
Arc Angel gives them Harry Potter’s Wand. MetaFizzlers are the denial-laden culture that have
bastardized the world-changing dynamics of Like-Attracts-Like until the power of The Law of Attraction
first was reduced to watered-down fodder for corporate motivational speakers, then a social club, and
finally nothing more than a self-indulgent cult. Conversely, that same personality type has committed
Spiritual Identity Theft many times before throughout the ages, most recently with the name and likeness
of Jesus Christ -- for the very same purpose. Denial in the name of something larger than ourselves in an
attempt to justify our lousy choices has been big religious business for literally thousands of years.
The truth is, Destiny does not support ignorance. However, if a client’s path is to learn enlightenment
through living out the consequences of their own ignorance, then Destiny will smile upon ignorance as a
tool. But that’s a different story than Destiny smiling upon a client who chooses ignorance to BE a Tool. In
fact, considering that we are responsible for weaving our own Destiny, then one could responsibly argue
that our very design intrinsically prohibits us from choosing ignorance.
Yet -- we’re too busy calling Madame LaZonka to pay attention to the obvious, which is that we ARE our
own Destiny, and our OUTWARD ACTIONS TODAY are the mortar for which our future kingdoms are
built. Yes, our thoughts are important in calling to us the right combination of intentions, but the truth, the
real spiritual truth, not the $3.99 a minute truth, is that in this three-dimensional free-will experiment, the
Spiritual Physics of ACTION is, as they say -- where the money is.
You are the most dynamic ingredient for Miracles that was ever created – don’t squander the wonder.
After all, would you burn a bundle of one million dollar bills just to see fire for the first time?

Montgomery House: The Perfect Haunting
A Film By Danielle Egnew
Montgomery
House: The
Perfect Haunting
is a riveting feature-
length paranormal
documentary written,
directed and hosted
by Psychic / Medium
Danielle Egnew,
whose name you may
also recognize as
award-winning
recording artist / music
producer (Pope Jane,
Danielle Egnew and
her Whiskey
Roadshow Band), and
produced by both
Egnew and music /
radio star Jenny
Sherwin (aka Sheena
Metal, The Sheena
Metal Experience / LA
Talk Radio).
The film uncovers the origins of the terrifying and unpredictable haunted history of the previously
undocumented Montgomery House Bed and Breakfast in Kalama, WA. With the aid of local Native
American tribal leaders, historians, a psychologist, reputable paranormal investigation groups, as well as
first-hand paranormal accounts from Bed and Breakfast guests, owners, local townsfolk, and a plethora of
spiritual healers and leaders of many sects, the dark secrets and complicated identity of Montgomery
House are brought into the light.
Unlike many paranormal documentaries, which often focus on the sensational, Montgomery House: The
Perfect Haunting not only presents compelling evidence of the existence of other-worldy beings living
among us, but reveals and examines the individual ingredients that come together to birth a haunting of
this magnitude. Psychic Danielle Egnew works closely with skeptics, investigators, and unearthly beings
alike to apply science and spirituality in order to bring into focus some of the most frightening
cornerstones of the unknown, for the purpose of educating the mainstream public on the physics of the
unseen reality that exists around us, everyday. Filmed on location in three different states and packed with
edgy music, from Danielle Egnew’s own original score to many other fresh artists, Montgomery House:
The Perfect Haunting is an unnerving but fascinating twenty-first century expose on what lurks in the
space between what we recognize as truth, and what we choose to understand.

Polymer Clay Journals
By: Chris Kapono (Mandarin Moon)
Deep Blue Sea Journal
Rainforest Journal
My name is Chris Kapono and art and nature have
been a part of my life since I was a young girl.
I was a tomboy and a bookworm with a love for

animals and nature. On a summer day you’d find
me high in a tree reading a good book as I swayed
in the breeze or exploring a nearby creek. My room
was and still is filled with rocks, feathers, mosses,
plants, seed pods, insects and other interesting
creatures. I’d spend hours at the library
researching my findings and would create journals
full of drawings along with all that I’d learned. Still
today I love to walk in the woods, off the beaten
path. My favorite treasures are those that I’ve
found not bought in a store. Recently someone
gave me a cluster of pink crystals and I was so
delighted. To me that is much more precious that a
bouquet of flowers or a pretty necklace.
This love of nature is reflected in my drawings,

paintings and now in the blank journals I hand
paint and decorate with polymer clay.
Often, I start with a blank book and a vague idea of

Roots and Leaves Journal what I want to create. Sometimes I just pick up the
clay and let my imagination guide me watching as
one idea leads to another until the finished piece
lies before me. “So there you are” I think to myself.
I am absorbed in my work; stories and

conversations playing in my mind as the piece
develops. Hours fly by and I’m often startled when
I look up and the sun has set long ago…or it is
dawn the next day!
I’ve always given my art away to family and friends

but a few years ago I decided to try selling my
work. I was so thrilled with my first sale and now
my art is sprinkled all over the globe. I’ve never
traveled outside the U.S. but little pieces of me live
in far off places that I hope to visit someday!

Catching Up with Bibi McGill
An Interview By: Mystikka Jade
I first interviewed
Bibi McGill on
MetaCreative Radio
back in 2007 as she
was wrapping up the
'Experience' Tour
with Beyonce.
Bibi is once again on

the road sharing her
soulful musical
talent as the lead
guitarist and musical
director / band
leader on Beyonce's
“I AM” tour.
Bibi's dynamic
energy radiates from
the stage when she
rocks out on her
guitar. Her creative,
earthy presence is
also reflected in her
unique personal
style.
In this interview, Bibi

reveals what she has
been up to in her
musical, personal
and spiritual life.
Read on to learn
more about her
green lifestyle and
values, and find out
how to keep up with
her online!

Bibi McGill (cont'd)
In October 2007, I interviewed you on MetaCreative Radio. Since we last heard from you, what
new developments have occurred in your music career?
I can't say there are any major

developments in my music career. After
my first tour with Beyonce, which lasted
about a year and a half, we had about a
10 month break. During that time I moved
from Los Angeles to Portland, Oregon
and spent most of that time deflating and
relaxing. I intentionally chose to spend
my time doing things that were not
musical. I didn't go see live music, I
rarely picked up the guitar and I didn't
perform with any local bands. When the
band came together again to prepare for
the Beyonce "I AM" tour, I've realized
how much I've grown as a Musical
Director and band leader. I'm much more
comfortable and confident in the
position.
When you are on tour, what do you do to

stay centered?
It's what I do when I'm not touring that

helps keep me grounded when I am
touring. The touring life is not
glamorous. It's extremely hard work. We
have a lot of late nights and early
mornings. I try to work out or do some
yoga when I can, but whenever there is a
little free time on the road I usually want
to sleep. So, whenever we have breaks in
the tour, I usually do as much yoga as I
can and will also do a cleanse or a fast to
get my body and mind balanced again.
What has been happening in your life personally?
Personally I'm the happiest I've ever been. A lot of it

has to do with the fact that I live in a very peaceful
city (Portland, OR). People are very down to earth
here and life moves at a slower pace. Also, being
financially secure relieves a lot of the stress that us
struggling artists go through, so I'm very grateful to
have a job doing what I love and not having to count
pennies.
Bibi's Garden
What motivates you to put so much time and energy into your garden, and what foods have you grown?
I'm drawn to gardening for many reasons. One is knowing that if necessary, I could live a
completely sustainable life off the grid. There's nothing better than putting your time, energy and
love into growing and caring for your food and then having the pleasure of eating it straight out
of the garden. Not to mention it's very rewarding to be able to share your food with others.
It's also very therapeutic to get your hands and feet into the earth, learning the cycles of the sun,
moon and seasons as well as discovering which plants need what and when. I'd be very happy
to have my own farm one day. In fact it's in the plan.
Last Spring and Summer I grew green and purple kale, bok choi, broccoli, collard, mustard and
turnip greens, lemon cucumbers, beets, carrots, lettuce, strawberries and several blueberry
trees. I also grew a number of herbs such as basil, dill, lemon thyme, chili peppers, rosemary
and 4 different varieties of mint. I also have fragrant plants such as gardenia lavender. My garden
was very abundant and 70% of the time I ate from it. I did have some problems in the process of
growing my tomato, bell peppers and eggplant. For my Fall and Winter gardens I had more
collards, radish and brussel sprouts which are my favorite.
This season I'm planning on mainly sticking to kale, broccoli, various greens, cucumbers and a
few herbs while adding squash, artichoke and perfecting the growing of the tomatoes. I'll be on
tour a lot of the time, but I'll have great harvests to come home to during my breaks.
I noticed on your facebook update you mentioned that you are also working on a moss garden and a
sustainable cedar hot tub. What's your purpose for those projects?
I love going on nature walks here in Oregon and I wanted to try to recreate some of my favorite
places to hike and bring it to my backyard. I love the green lushness of the forest with moss,
ferns and other native plants. I also love natural hot springs and a cedar hot tub is the closest
thing I can get to that for my backyard.
As someone who places a high priority on living off the grid, in addition to having a garden, what would
you suggest for people who want to lower their carbon footprint?
I would suggest an electric car, a hybrid or bio diesel car. Ride your bike and walk whenever
possible. Always recycle. Buy cloth bags for your groceries rather than paper of plastic bags.
Take shorter showers.
How can our readers support you and your work?
They best thing readers can do to support me and my work is to just send me good energy by
keeping me in your thoughts and prayers.

Obsessive Thoughts
An Interview With Jackie Beat
By: Mystikka Jade
Photo by: Peter Palladino
An Interview With Jackie Beat (cont'd)
Photo: A still from the Dirty Sanchez music video for "Youth In Asia.”
Drag Superstar Jackie Beat is a multifaceted entertainer with an impeccable, one-of-a-kind style.
She is especially known for her razor sharp stand-up comedy and powerful singing voice.
You may recognize Jackie from one of her appearances in a variety of film and television projects or
from her popular YouTube videos which have been featured on Perez Hilton and countless other
web sites. Jackie regularly performs her hilariously outrageous song parodies in live shows across
the U.S. and has a number of CDs available (see http://jackiebeatrules.com to shop). Jackie is also
the lead singer of the electroclash sensation, Dirty Sanchez, and is a professional writer with a wide
range of media experience.
It is a rare treat to encounter someone as colorful and thought-provoking as Jackie Beat. Her
candid, expertly-written blogs are loaded with funny, sometimes shocking metaphors and remain as
insightful as they are entertaining. The more I discover Jackie's creative range the more intrigued I
become and I simply *had* to pick her brain about it and share what I learned with you!
What strikes me the most about you is your immense creativity, and how it
comes through you in such diverse ways. I understand you were born with
natural artistic abilities, yet how did you further develop each of the following
particular skills?
a) Writing
Years and years ago, when I was mostly just performing and doing
photography and art, a numerologist did a reading for me. She
asked whether I wanted her to look at my birth name or my stage
name, Jackie Beat. I chose my stage name and she said, “You are
all about the written word!” I was like, “Huh?” But it really is true. I
am a word freak, and I love nothing more than writing. The most
important thing you must do to be a good writer is READ! And if
you want to write movies, then watch tons of movies! I think most
people learn from osmosis -- it’s like learning another language
and being immersed in it really helps.
b) Acting
Acting is about a very specific zone. You have to be aware of the camera -- or the audience -- and
then forget it. It’s a weird Catch 22 regarding control and letting go, concentration and not
thinking. You can also learn to act by watching others and picking up speech patterns and
mannerisms. To me, acting is ACTING -- it is not reality. There is nothing less real than reality and
if you don’t know what I mean, then watch an awful reality show. You can always tell when
something is contrived or choreographed. There is nothing sadder than some of these reality
“stars” who cannot even play themselves! This is the reason that there is nothing creepier -- and
more realistic -- than a very innocuous almost-boring dream in which nothing really happens!
c) Singing
Singing, to me, is like being nude. You need to give 100% and just let go or it doesn’t work -- your
throat will betray you (No jokes about that one time I was with a particularly healthy Puerto Rican
gentleman, please!). I love people with unique voices like Sandra Bernhard. I know a lot of people
who hate her voice, but I adore it. I love Morrissey and Robert Smith -- not by any means perfect
voices, but honest and expressive. Of course I adore Janis Joplin. If she was on American Idol
she would be told that she’s pitchy and should lose weight. It’s so sad! By the way, people ask all
the time, and I have NEVER had a single voice lesson.
d) Comedy
Again, it’s a zone. You need to prepare and rehearse and write and then just let go of all of it and
perform without a net! Comedy is a language and it’s all about timing. I honestly don’t know if you
can really learn it. I feel like I was born funny.
e) Female impersonation
I don’t really consider what I do

to be “female impersonation”
simply because I do not really
accept the cubby holes of
“male” and “female”. It’s all
merely artifice. No woman
comes out of the womb with
three inches of makeup on and
double false eyelashes! I
consider Jackie Beat to be a
high-concept character like
Elvira or Pee Wee Herman. It
just so happens that the person
beneath the “female” character
is “male.”
Women in this world can

express a much wider spectrum
of emotions, not to mention
sartorial and tonsorial
creativity. I would much rather
play a complicated woman than
an uptight man of few words.
This is why I kind of don’t get
drag kings. Why would you
want to feel and/or express
LESS? And in our society, men
are very limited to what they
can and cannot express. But a
character that is ultimately both
-- or neither, depending on how
you look at it -- can say and do
anything IT damn well pleases!
If you could accomplish any three

random things in this lifetime, without
limitation, what would you choose to
do?
Fly, eat whatever I want and

never gain weight, and having
the wildest unprotected sex
with Jake Gyllenhaal.
Your house is completely unique and full of color, just like you! If an additional room were to be added on to your
house, what would you do with the space? What theme and / or color combination would you choose to decorate it
with?
I would like a small room that was nothing but clocks. I love the idea of overkill and a clock is
something you really only need one of in a room. So the idea of having HUNDREDS -- all over
every wall and on every surface -- sounds great to me. It would essentially just be a very elaborate
art installation, but just imagine the looks on people’s faces when they walked in!
What does spirituality mean to you?
Being myself, noticing the beauty of everything around me like trees and the moon and fruits and
vegetables and the sky and animals. Not being afraid to smile at people and be friendly. I will never
understand people who can walk down the street and pass a dog or a baby and not smile. As far
as I’m concerned, making people laugh and forget their troubles is a very spiritual and noble
profession!

Pixel Mandalas By: Michael Arnold Mages
New Mandala
Pixel Mandalas By: Michael Arnold Mages (cont'd)
The Song Within
Pixel Mandalas By: Michael Arnold Mages (cont'd)
From The Earth

Since the late 1990’s I have been interested in the ways that the computer intersects with the body. In a
limited way, the computer lets our thoughts and visions intersect with the visions of others. With this
series of pieces, I became interested in the possibility of computing as a meditative practice. In this series
of mandalas, I created a program to slowly scan through and sort the pixels of photographs. Depending
upon the photo, the process can take from a few minutes to several hours. The process of creation then
involves attempting to maintain a mentally detached attitude while watching the program’s output, and
waiting for the moment that seems appropriate to stop the program and produce the image. A lower-
resolution version of this program can be viewed here: http://asomatic.net/mandala/
In my mind, these mandalas fold into one another the meditative practice of creating a mandala, the
programmatic nature of traditional mandala creation, and contemporary technologies. While it may seem
that the computer might produce a perfect mandala, when reproduced at large size a viewer can see the
tiny errors introduced by imperfect computation. Through these errors, the pixels liken to grains of sand,
where irregularities and chaos are to be found throughout the entire work, yet the fusion of these
irregularities produces a kind of wholeness.

Variations of Shadow: An Excerpt from Shadow Magick Compendium
By: Raven Digitalis
Variations of Shadow: An Excerpt from Shadow Magick Compendium By: Raven Digitalis (cont'd)
The following are some of my own interpretations of the various aspects of “the shadow,” and is an overview of the
chapter construction of this book. Working magick with these elements of darkness can be invaluable, as taking the
initiative to face the shadow—in whatever form—allows a fuller view of self to emerge. When performing magick
concerned with darker aspects of oneself and the world, remember that a securely structured energetic circle is a
must. This can protect a practitioner from external astral vibrations and entities, giving a space of clarity and
discretion regarding which aspects of the shadow should be worked with and how. Please note that this list does not
include “physical” shadow, which is the darkness we perceive on the physical plane, such as shadows cast by light,
the darkness of the night sky, the color black, and so on.
The Internal Shadow (ch. 1): In Jungian psychology, this is the darker side of human nature. Portions of the self
that have been repressed exist here, as does the “Dweller on the Threshold.” Also called the Watcher on the
Threshold, the Dweller on the Threshold represents the sum of the magician’s delusions, fears, accumulated negative
Karma, misunderstandings, limiting beliefs, and anything else that can possibly interfere with the magician’s path to
enlightenment and spiritual attainment.
Many psychologists recognize “the critic” as part of everyone’s unconscious mind; it is viewed as the portion of the
psyche that concludes perceptions in favor of failure, acting as the absolute protagonist.” Choronzon The “Dweller in
the Abyss” and the ultimate embodiment of antispiritual ego, Choronzon was originally recognized as a demonic
figure by Edward Kelley and John Dee (Enochian magick), and later expounded on by Aleister Crowley. He (or ‘it’)
is said to be the last thing the magician faces in his or her path towards enlightenment, and is quite often recognized
as being an aspect of the magician’s own mind, much like “the critic,” rather than being an entirely external force.
When denial occurs, thoughts are pushed to the back of the mind, and into the unrecognized internal shadow. When
darker emotions arise, such as sadness, anger, and apathy, it may be considered a conscious surfacing of the internal
shadow. Just the same, a person may be aware (or somewhat aware) of their darker characteristics, which is the first
step in working with one’s inner shadow.
The External Shadow (ch. 2): One’s external shadow is simply a projection of the internal shadow. Gone
unrecognized, the external shadow can manifest through projection. For example, a person may believe that no one
finds them attractive, when the truth of the matter is that they do not accept their own attractiveness themselves.
External projection can happen in limitless ways, and can arise from any repressed beliefs. Also included in this
definition of the external shadow are the shadows of others. In other words, any aspect of “shadow” that is not your
own can be considered external. For the purposes of this book, the chapter entitled as such will explore types of
magick that rely on external forces, yet connect with and have an effect on one’s internal reality.
The Astral Shadow (ch. 3): The astral plane is a reflection of the physical world, and carries energies that are
generally invisible to the untrained eye. The astral is the realm of guides, guardians, and ancestors. Thoughtforms,
deities, dreams, and “Everything possible to be believed… “Everything possible to be believed is an image of truth”
comes from William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.” exist on the astral. Naturally, the astral plane
carries currents of darkness that are directly linked to the shadow of the human psyche and the natural world.
The Shadow of Nature (ch. 4): As a prime example, the food chain may be considered part of nature’s shadow, as
one life form must feed on another to survive. Destructive acts that we call murder, rape, and theft are “natural”
crimes of the animal kingdom, existing in the primitive aspect of the animal psyche. While animals cannot control
these survivalist instincts, humans have the unique gifts of morality and ethical discretion, allowing us to choose
against these behaviors. Additionally, the destructive aspect of nature herself may be included here, such as natural
disasters and even poisonous plants. Additionally, shadowed aspects of nature like eclipses, the dark seasons, and the
dark moon may be considered the shadow of nature, and these types of mysterious aspects of nature’s shadow will be
explored in that chapter.
Variations of Shadow: An Excerpt from Shadow Magick Compendium By: Raven Digitalis (cont'd)
The Shadow of Society (ch. 5): The unseen, hidden, suppressed, or overlooked aspects of our culture
and society can fall under this category. Insofar as my own definition, the shadow of society is
predominantly not a positive one. Skewed cultural worldviews, underhanded corporate crime, religious
fanaticism, and self-serving politics can be considered a part of society’s shadow. The social shadow is
greatly shaped by the internal shadow, that is, devastating socio-political crime is often no more than
horrid projections of certain peoples’ inner fears and psychoses. The chapter of this title explores the
social shadow in connection to magickal spirituality.

My Review of Raven Digitalis’s
Shadow Magick Compendium:
Exploring Darker Aspects of
Magickal Spirituality (Llewellyn
Publications © 2008)
Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Digitalis’s first
release, Goth Craft: The Magickal Side of Dark
Culture, in 2007, I eagerly awaited the publication
of his Shadow Magick Compendium in 2008.
However, I seriously doubted that I could possibly
get as much out of it as I did Goth Craft.
Happily, I was mistaken, for the Shadow Magick

Compendium has taught me just as much, if not
more, than Goth Craft did. As Digitalis states in
the “Introduction” on page 11 of the Shadow
Magick Compendium, “This is not a beginners’
book…it is perhaps best called an intermediate-
level book.” Furthermore, it’s a “non-Goth-specific
book” (p. 10). And, personally I enjoyed that it
wasn’t too Left Hand Path or Right Hand Path;
rather, both were presented in various ways
throughout.
Yet, though the material presented is marvelously well-balanced, it does focus “mainly on one’s
personal connection to the divine darkness” (p.11). Digitalis does a great job of offering
suggestions for interpreting shadow magick versus restrictively labeling it. Plus, the book is
divided into the different guises of shadow: Chapter 1 is The Internal Shadow, Chapter 2 is The
External Shadow, Chapter 3 is The Astral Shadow, Chapter 4 is The Shadow of Nature, and
Chapter 5 is The Shadow of Society.
One of Digitalis’ primary talents is to make the old relevant to the new; one of the best examples
of this is seen in the section entitled “Scrying the Jelly: A Ritual Meditation” where you’re taught
how to perform “a meditation in front of the TV” (p. 173). Digitalis goes on to explain that, “Like
any other medium, TV can convey supremely spiritual messages” (p.173). I love that he
oftentimes merges the 21st century with what I call the Old Ways, for that to me achieves the very
elusive balance of respecting the past while acknowledging that we all are, indeed, living in the
present.

My Review of Living the Law of

Attraction: Real Stories of People
Manifesting Health, Wealth, and
Happiness by Rich German and
Robin Hoch (iUniverse, Inc.©2008)
I’ve read many books on the Law of

Attraction at this point, and many of them
were very good. I’d say that this one is
great, however, because it takes the
L.O.A. further by actually presenting true
stories of how it’s impacted some
people’s lives in the various stories
presented. I couldn’t help thinking,
throughout my reading of these heartfelt
real life stories, of the adage: Facts tell,
stories sell…
There’s nothing like proof positive, of

what’s known to be abstractly true, by
reading about real life occurrences. So,
it’s wonderful to read the stories of
triumph, by those who’ve actually put the
Law of Attraction to the test, in various
areas; the stories are divided into “Health
and Wellness,” “Stories of Triumph over
Pain and Depression,” “Stories of Weight-
Loss Success,” “Stories of Success in
Sports and Fitness,” “Stories of Career
Success,” etc. Hence, it’s easy to read
motivational stories, divided into specific
parts within the book, in areas that you
might be desiring to see more success in
yourself.
Some of my personal favorites are: “The Sky’s the Limit,” “Hear What They Aren’t Saying,” “The
Wonderful Spirit in that Guy Giving You the Finger,” and “The Quarter.” All are inspiring, but many
are quite humorous as well.
Furthermore, for those not familiar with the Law of Attraction, Bob Doyle’s Foreword will help clue you
in. He was one of the people featured in the hit movie The Secret. The fact that he endorses this
anthology sets it apart from many L.O.A. books in and of itself as well!

My
Faux
Cupcake
Story
By: Jara of Creative Abubot
This past year, I've gone gaga over cupcakes.

I've spent countless of hours surfing the net for
recipes and tricks on baking that perfect cup.
I've cried over my over baked cupcakes and
frostings that have gone bad. It's been quite a
while since I started my quest on making
perfect cupcakes. And now, my cupcakes,
though not perfect (yet), are "o.k."...and my son
loves them. But due to the non-stop increasing
prices of almost everything, including gas (and
LPG which I use on my oven), I have taken my
cupcake baking addiction to a halt.
I've since then diverted my attention to faux

cupcakes, after stumbling upon few websites
which teach one how to create these fake
treats. They looked like such eye candy! And
since I'm a crafty person, I wanted to get my
hands busy creating some. I think it's a great
project idea to make them and give them out as
gifts to family and friends. And as a single mom
trying to make ends meet, I thought I could sell
these (if I even succeeded in making one), and
create extra income.
My Faux Cupcake Story - By: Jara (cont'd)
I searched all over the internet for instructions and tips. I only found a few suggestions to use "this" and
"that" materials. What the heck? I might as well give it a try! So, I rummaged my dad's garage for some
left-over materials that I could use. I was really excited to create my first faux cupcake. Alas, I ended up
with a very heavy, uninviting, sad looking cupcake. It's so heavy that I don't think it would be a great idea
to try to sell it. And darn, the fake frosting ran down like a mud slide after piping, and cracked after drying.
I still have it, my first awful faux cupcake. Out of sheer frustration, I poked it with pens while it was still
drying! Now, it's sitting on my desk, posing as a pen holder.... an ugly one, that is! Yeah, I know, it's not
just a fake cupcake...it's also a fake pen holder! LOL!
After my first attempt at making a faux cupcake, I still tried... and tried... and tried!. But I still ended with a
sad looking cup. I never thought that it would be this hard to create one that looks like the real thing. I
couldn't sleep for weeks, trying to figure out how to do this. And the hardware store had become my
favorite hangout after work. I would stand in the aisles and stare at different products. Would this one
work? Or maybe, that one? After trying out a handful of different products and materials, I have finally
come up with my own formula (and it's a secret! Sorry!). My first faux cupcakes with this formula are
much, much better looking than my sad cupcake pen holder. And my own formula is a lot lighter, too!
Each faux cupcake is approximately 43 grams to 45 grams, while my sad looking faux cupcake weighs
135 grams (or even more!). And yes, they now look yummy! And no longer are they pen holders, they're
now photo holders!
I have kept on polishing and perfecting my faux cupcake formula. I want my faux cupcakes to look as real
as possible. I don't want my fake frosting to look dry, like those cake displays at cheap bakeries. I'm still
experimenting with different materials. But for now, I'm very happy with my secret formula and I really
enjoyed creating these fake sweet treats. I have already created different designs...or
flavors...uh...whatever you call them!
My faux cupcakes are sold in my

Etsy shop on:
www.creativeabubot.etsy.com
For those who wanted to try

making these faux cupcakes
themselves, please visit my blog
at:
www.creativeabubot.blogspot.com
for some tutorial links. I have

found some links of tutorials that
are a lot simpler than my process
and uses almost the same
materials. The end result is still
yummy looking! You may just want
to add your own creativity and
imagination!
Grace, Gaia and the End Of Days - A Discussion With Stuart Wilde
By: Mystikka Jade
After reading Stuart

Wilde's latest book, 'Grace
Gaia and the End Of Days,'
I was thrilled to have the
opportunity {Thanks to
Richelle at Hay House} to
interview him about some
of the ideas that he writes
about in the book.
I was also able to ask

Stuart about his
experiences with
Ayahuasca (a shamanic
brew containing DMT),
and explore his
perspective on
psychedelics and how
DMT and psilocybin
impact spirituality.
I left the conversation with

Stuart feeling inspired by
the depth, intensity and
directness of his words,
as well as by the
eloquence he uses when
articulating his ideas.
In addition to being
enlightening, our chat was
great fun and I look
forward to presenting it to
you on the following
pages!

Grace, Gaia and the End Of Days - A Discussion With Stuart Wilde (cont'd)
Mystikka: Stuart, in your book, 'Grace Gaia and the End of Days,' you say that we are in the age of
destruction.
Stuart Wilde: Yes, I do.
Mystikka: I would like to know, what is the age of destruction and how do we survive it?
Stuart: Well, I'm not sure that we can really survive it, but it’s the destruction of the planet, and
essentially the destruction of the human soul. We are in a descending evolution. Humanity has gone
lower and lower and become more and more degraded as time has gone on. We've seen visions of
beings that were twelve feet tall that walked the earth, the remnants of which are the Maasai people in
Africa. Those beings could run 40 miles an hour! We're sort of runts compared to them.
Our soul has been endarkended, it's been made worse with the degradation of the feminine spirit. The
world is full of extraordinary states of violence. There is pornography on the internet, child labor,
pedophilia in the Catholic Church, pedophilia in Belgium... massive darkness against children and
women. We see Gaia as the feminine spirit, as the Goddess that has returned to the planet, to reclaim
it. Part of the destruction is what humans have forced upon nature, such as the mass slaughtering of a
billion animals a day and the destruction of the water and the air. But also, it's the destruction of Gaia
upon us, as she takes the planet back. I used to think of it in terms of being a vengeance, but I was in
error there. That was just in the very early days when I saw the visions and I didn't really completely
understand them. She has no vengeance against us; she just wants her planet back.
Mystikka: I noticed that in your book, you say that only about six percent of people in the Western
World have a soul.
Stuart: Yes.
Mystikka: I want to know, how did you come up with that percentage, and why is it so low?
Stuart: Well, to say that it's 'so low' would have to give it a point of reference. It's not really necessarily
low or high. It has to do with the real warmth inside people. *Gurdjieff said that humans don't really
have a soul, they have to fight to earn one. And what he meant by that is, we live in a kind of collective
group soul.
So let’s say you are a fundamentalist Methodist and you live in Fort Worth. You have an identity, a soul,
a mind, a feeling that is akin to, lets say three quarters of a million people that live in the greater Forth
Worth area that are the same as you. You don’t have an originality, you don’t have a vibrancy outside
the group soul of Methodists that live within that particular town. So that is what Gurdjieff was talking
about. He was saying that because humans are lulled through the matrix into this sort of drone like
state, they exist in vast clusters. Whether they're Hindu, Buddhist, stock exchange, high fliers,
whatever. They live in the cluster to define themselves.
Gurdjieff said that you have to fight for a soul, through meditation, introspection, quietness and through
spiritual disciplines, in order to develop originality. He felt that linking into those inner worlds
through these techniques took you into the creative pulses of divinity, or God, or what we would say
was the 'feminine spirit.' Of course once you are in that creative pulse, you develop an automatic
originality and can produce creativity very fast. You come up with ideas that no human has ever
thought of and you do things that no human has ever done. Or, you lean in that direction.
Gurdjieff set everybody in this group soul idea. He was the original writer that came up with that, and
then we saw it by watching the Aluna, which is a mirror world we believe is akin to an anti-particle
world. It’s not “anti” in the sense of dark or evil, it just an electrical polarity that is opposite to our
polarity. We live in a universe of only positive particles. All the negative particles were rubbed out
because at the big bang or shortly there after, when the universe began. The positive particles and the
negative particles wiped each other out. However, there was a slight excess of positive particles, so a
tree, a giraffe, a person, an apple, or an orange could come into existence. These mirror worlds that we
watch in trance are what we believe, anti-particle worlds. So you have a doppelganger in the mirror
world. There is another you that is the minus electrical bracket or the minus electrical equation. The
plus electrical equation is in say Minnesota, or wherever you happen to be today. So that mirror version
of you is actually your spirit, or what new-agers would call your soul in the spirit world.
We watch inside the Aluna, sometimes hundreds or thousands of different people. We can watch
people hurting each other in the back streets of LA, we can watch darkness going on in the golden
triangle, shipping heroin from the north to the south, and we can watch whatever we want to watch.

Most people are represented in the world by their social self. So they have their niceties, and their Mr.
Nice Guy routine, and they have all their pretenses. But deep down they don’t care about killing people,
or killing animals. They don’t care about the pain of the animals and they don’t’ care about other
humans. So they may pretend to be all girly-girly, lovey-lovey, 'here’s a chocolate, 'lets party.' But in
fact, there is a deep seeded resentment and hatred that’s inside of them. So watching the hatred and
assessing the numbers, we came to see that about 94% of all the people are deeply dark. They are
invested in a massive amount of hatred and disdain for humanity, the animals, and nature. They don’t
have any genuine celestial warmth and so they don’t really have a soul, they have a group soul and
then they have this darkness that’s inside of themselves that they don’t admit to.
So Mr. Nice Guy fries the hamburgers, sausages and bacon. He’s jovial while handing out the beer, but
generally speaking, he has an enormous disdain for women, he’s a womanizer, he’s got these really
dodgy businesses that he runs. He’s ripping people off or being a predator. The nice guy routine hides
the devilish person that is actually there. Now in reality or normal society, we can’t see the devil, unless
you have very acute perception.

Mystikka: So you’re talking about watching all of this from the Aluna. His mirror version, or
doppelganger, is not a bright soul. He does not have a projection of himself in the spirit world that
actually is of light. Is that what you’re saying?
Stuart: Yes, you see the social self will pretend to be OK. Hitler didn’t go around saying, “I murder
people and I’m absolutely ghastly, and I take morphine, and I break the legs off spiders.” He pretended
to be a nice person. He felt he was solving Germany’s problems and getting the trains to run on time.
But you would see the devilish person in the Aluna. So that is how we know there are very few celestial
people.
This world is just about to enter a colossal crisis, like a holocaust of pain. All of these massive
upheavals are all organized and mathematically designed to happen on particular days and particular
times. When these things happen to the planet, there will be tens of millions, maybe even a billion
people that will return back to God and they will begin to question and look within. We are going to
have a kind of enforced redemption and then there will be about four or five million people that just
don’t care about redemption. They are going to take a gun, and go try to find a can of beans.
Mystikka: Okay, that’s very intense. A lot of the readers of MetaCreative Magazine are not just
metaphysically inclined, but also psychedelically inclined. I wanted to ask you about your Ayahuasca
experiences and how they influenced the book?
Stuart: It was only marginally influential, but on an Ayahuasca journey, and I’ve done 90, you do see
the digital fractal worlds that the alternate dimensions are made of. Sometimes you’ll see the Aluna and
you’ll see humans interacting. Beings come and talk to you. Other times, you’ll have a being come
along and perform an operation on your kneecap or something that you injured playing tennis ten years
ago. We see those beings all the time on the Ayahuasca. I’m very keen on Ayahuasca because our
DMT is being depleted as you probably know. The depletion is created a lot by fat in the diet. And a lot
of the depletion is because of stress.
Because DMT is depleted in the brain, hundreds of millions, or billions of people don’t really dream,
and they don’t vision without that 'spirit molecule.' Without the DMT you can’t vision. So essentially you
can’t really communicate with the spirit without it. So I was a great believer in Ayahuasca. In the west in
certain countries, for example in America, it is illegal and considered a class A drug. But in South
America it is considered a medicine. I spent an awful lot of money and effort into pushing and
promoting all the various shamans that weren’t totally evil, and getting people to go to the Ayahuasca.
Then I started my own Ayahuasca temple in Ecuador, because most of the places where Ayahuasca is
done, with a couple of exceptions, are usually very grungy. Or you have to go to the jungle, which of
course is the true ethnic experience. But sometimes westerners are not really ready for all the
mosquitoes and lack of latrines and so forth. So I put my Ayahuasca gigs in a very beautiful resort in
Ecuador, where each person gets their own cabin and fireplace and service just like any regular hotel. I
ran that for several years.
You take the Ayahuasca and 40 minutes later you are looking at the fractal reality of the Aluna world
and the multi-dimensional worlds, because it’s replacing the DMT in your brain. Yes, people are very
judgmental and laws have been passed to stop it, but it does really help people and I do believe in it.
There are certain people that shouldn’t take it, such as those people that are psychiatrically disturbed
or that are liable to go a bit skitzo on it.
Holland just passed a law against mushrooms. It was completely 100% legal to take mushrooms in
England, and then they passed a law against mushrooms. I can’t quote you the legislation, but it was
like two years ago. And Ireland had a completely free law for mushrooms, and then they passed a law
against them. So, essentially, all of these various forms of psilocybin or DMT are being sort of closed
off to legitimate buys or sellers like the Amsterdam shops. It’s like the matrix making sure that no one
escapes, you know?
I’m a great believer in those things, but I think you have to be careful. I know people that take
mushrooms as a recreation, and as a recreational drug it really doesn’t work. Then there are kids that
take too many. Mushrooms are a serious medicine and you have to take them in exactly the right
quantity. You can’t tell by looking at a mushroom how strong it is. It depends on the day, and how you
feel, the circumstances, what you ate, how dry the mushroom is, or how wet it is, and so forth. So
some people really, really spook out on mushrooms. You need a shaman who really knows what he’s
talking about (to guide you). I trained with a Celtic shaman in the forest, he showed me what he knew.
He was very kind and I was very moved. Mushrooms are a difficult business because nowadays it’s
illegal.
You know the other thing that people are taking a lot of now, but it’s extremely illegal, are DMT crystals,
which (Terence) McKenna wrote about. McKenna said that DMT crystals are like the most powerful
drug in the world. And it’s true because you can take like a 20th of a gram, inhale it and within 15
seconds you’re out, you can’t feel your body. The actual journey is through these fractal digital worlds
or though the hell worlds, but you see this multi-dimensional reality. We call it the hyper state. You see
the hyper state, and it only last for about 15 minutes, but it is the most extraordinary 15 minutes of your
life. McKenna said it like it is, it is the most difficult drug. You have got to be brave to take DMT crystals.

Mystikka: Right, and I believe you are referring to the N,N-DMT, not the 5-MeO-DMT, correct?
Stuart: Yes, I believe there is a different molecule in it because it’s synthesized. It is really, really
powerful. I’ve only ever done it once.
Mystikka: I’ve heard stories of people taking too much of it.
Stuart: The thing is if you put it in a glass pipe or water filled bong and smoke it, the first puff you’re
already on your way. By the second toke you’re defiantly on your way, and usually you’re out before the
end of the third toke. So that is how strong it is. So you may think you smoked a twentieth of a gram,
but most of it is still in the bowl because you never got around to toking it. It is very strong, but it is very
trans-dimensional and very beautiful. But I don’t recommend the use of DMT crystals, because it is so
powerful. Unless you’re with people that really know what they are doing. I don’t know what the
dangers are. I would never recommend it. I don’t know of anyone ever dying on Ayahuasca. I’ve never
heard of anybody. But I don’t know whether on DMT you could get into serious grief.
Mystikka: I can imagine that one might leave their body and not want to come back.
Stuart: Yes, I’ve heard of that experience as well. Many people have told me that, many. And of course
mushrooms, there are deaths on mushrooms. Sometimes because the electrical impulses from the
brain to the heart become disrupted, but also people become psychotic and jump of a bridges and stuff
like that. So mushrooms can be dangerous if they’re over used.
I wish that we were allowed to have mushrooms, but let’s say only in the hands of certified
practitioners.
Mystikka: Yes, approached in a sacred manner.

Stuart: Yes. In the forms of legalized shamans and doctors that believed in it. But I don’t think that world will
ever happen.
With Ayahuasca, you either do it illegally, or you spend three of four grand flying to South America. You have
to take a week off work, etc. What we do, we take homeopathic doses of it. We take a small amount each
day for 90 days. Say 15 mls. And we take it at night, before we go to bed as an ongoing everyday dose of it.
Once I went on a 30 day mushroom kick. I took Mushrooms every day for 30 days with a Shaman.
Mystikka: That is hard core!
Stuart: Yes, that was very hard core. It was a sort of training, but then I pulled away from the mushroom
business because it became illegal. I just got out of the whole thing. This was years ago.

From unknown dimensional star galaxies

Purpose: to live, learn, love, lucidate in this dream time essence, through art, music, and noospheric
connection to oneness.
Sometimes I hear a tone, an underlying molecular structure, forming itself from consciousness, learning from
itself. I attempt to act on the tone and ride it's essence. Sometimes I am successful, sometimes I am not. The
unexpected manifesting and learning experiences are the excitement of living here.
We all have a tone that we ride in our lives, each one is different to the individual, yet we travel on the same
path. My hope is that my path, will harmonically resonate and attract positive love, light, and harmony with
all that is, thru art and music. No matter what the internal or external struggle at any given moment of time,
the knowing that there is forever peace if you so choose it, is the drive to unite as one. Love and light to all.

Astrological Happenings Quarterly
By: Suzi Dronzek
July's hot temperatures begin to heat up our relationships with others. Shifts in our behavior and needs
introduces new individuals into our lives, while loved ones could feel left out in the cold. Express what is
internalizing to avoid miscommunications. When Uranus retrogrades on 07/01, we crave freedom from
our existent relationships to do serious soul searching. Mercury is in Cancer 07/03, and subconsciously
we're sending out mixed signals to loved ones. We want closeness, but as we attract it, we withdraw.
Venus is in Gemini 07/05, and we're reconnecting with our creativity, in search of new personalities for
fresh partnerships and inspirations. Relationships begin merging once again. Mars is in Gemini on 07/11,
and we're extending ourselves outside of the circle, careless to what others might think. Mercury in Leo
07/17 means confidence rises and we enjoy all the new attention. Sun in Leo 07/22, and Venus in Cancer
07/31 encourages us to be compassionate of others feelings, and to nurture our own soul and inner child!
Playfulness is required!
August continues to get steamy as our cheerful side is leading us into new directions! We're more bold
and courageous about exhibiting what our heart wants. We're taking better care of ourselves, and it
shows! Mercury in Virgo 08/02 causes thoughts to transpire as to what we have been doing for the past
few months with our lives, and what we hope to develop from the choices that we have been making. We
spend more time than necessary analyzing our life, while becoming consciously aware and concerned of
where our life is headed. We're looking for something solid, so we temporarily retreat from the world to
reorganize our priorities. Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius 08/05 results in an inner awakening that encourages
us to ignore the world, and to follow the beat of our own drum. That has a beautiful ring to it. Sun in Virgo
08/22 brings our work and personal development into focus. Our reputation and how others view us
becomes of importance. We attract a shift in our relationships as well as in our work. What we have been
reconstructing, is manifesting - and we're satisfied. Mars in Cancer and Mercury in Libra 08/25 creates a
balance in romantic and professional partnerships, allowing us to push even harder towards our personal
achievements. With Venus in Leo 08/26, hard work is recognized and awarded! Somebody's watching -
be sure to dress for success the rest of this month!
September cools down and begins to create a mold of what we've been firing up in our lives and
relationship with others. A Full Moon in Pisces 09/04 is a powerful time to add last minute touches to
complete this template. Desires are too irresistible to not be granted! Mercury retrogrades 09/07 and
technological machinery and communication skills become stuck in a time warp. Breakdowns happen
where problems exist. We get a chance to repair weak spots. Pluto turns direct 09/11, and transformative
motions will start to take place in our lives. With Mercury in Virgo 09/17, nervous energy may consume us
if we are letting it eat away at us. Be extra productive now. With Venus in Virgo on 09/20, we realize work
is almost therapeutic as our stress is leveled. We're inclined to throw ourselves in our jobs for the next
few weeks. Sun moves into in Libra 09/22, and balance is restored and we're at peace with ourselves, as
well as with those around us. Mercury goes direct on 09/29, and it's time to focus on friends and family
again, and reap what we've sown for the last few months! Root beers for everyone!

The Art Of Oh
Shapeshifting
Fallen Angel
The Art Of Oh (cont'd)
I tell stories with my

pastel paintings.
They are narratives
layered with color
and emotion,
symbolic
expressions of my
travels and
observations, and
sometimes insightful
studies of humanity
and our body
language.
My art has evolved

from the belief that
any form of creativity
cleanses our
emotional bodies,
and this led to
further studies and
explorations in
metaphysical
practices, allowing
me to journey
through expanded
visions of
consciousness to a
world infused with
light, color, great
beauty and
Regeneration
etheric forms. Sometimes the paintings are channeled, but often, form emerges on a
blank “canvas” through the layering of color (in the more traditional methods of
Abstract Expressionism).
The techniques of my working process remain visible as they render a translucent,

metamorphic quality to the pastels. This gives a vibrancy and rhythm that is wholly
sensual… a timeless and contemporary feeling of movement in each painting,
reflecting and celebrating the constant transformation of our soul journeys.
