Mirror mirror

At times it is all too easy to blame illness or bad luck on dark and supernatural forces rather than looking within. Seeing shadows and dark omens is easy when we don't want to look at ourselves but fending off something which isn't there will never clear the problem. Sometimes we have to rake the bull by the horns and realize that the things that is wrong, the thing that is working against us is us! Only then can we put our house in order and be at peace. Sometimes we have to look in the mirror and realize that the work we need to do begins with us!

Percy Jackson and the Story Thief!

How dissapointing was Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief? Answer ... Very! As a lover of Greek Myth I was VERY excited to hear about this movie based upon a series of childrens books about a Demi god child searching for the missing thunderbolt of Zeus. However as the film unfolded it was clear that the story was nothing more than a Harry Potter rip off complete with it's own version of Hogwarts, Hermoine, Ron and Dumbledore! Even the myth inspired monsters weren't originally placed making the whole thing deathly dull. Thank the Greek Gods for Uma Thurmans camp Medusa possibly the only saving grace. Let's hope that the Gods see fit to ensure there's no sequal to this tutkey!

The Wonder of Nature

On Imbolc, the 2nd of February we light candles to represent our acknowledgement of the returning light and life of Spring. We acknowledge the wonder of nature and it's great power of life and inspiration. The above picture reminds me of this, it is a Fogbow - a rainbow formed in fog rather than rain - from the light of the Moon. A truly rare and beautiful thing like our world and being!
