Walking the Ancient Path in a Modern World
The night and early morning had been spent in the land of the mystics. See Opening the gates of the heart using Zikr and Sema. The result was a good day of sleep, but this then meant an evening of wakefulness. When I awoke from my slumber around 4 in the afternoon I had a … Read More “Visions of a magician at the Wizards Wood” »

It makes my work … Read More “Finding the Horns of the Stag” »
