As we develop spiritually and psychically, we begin to open our inner eyes for the first time. We begin to see and understand the Divine in all things large and small. It is only when we take a moment from the daily routine of life, look with our spiritual eyes, hear with our hearts and inner ears, that we begin to truly see.

Have you ever seen the magick on a cold winter morning after a fresh snowfall, gazed with wonderment at its beauty, and suddenly noticed that a single leaf  was left on a branch of your favorite oak tree? It begins to float down from the tree through the air as if mysteriously ridden perhaps by a Faery? Or maybe while you were enthralled by the magnificence of the crisp new fallen snow, you felt the change of the seasons, knowing within you it is truly the turning of the Wheel of the Year hence moving us from one cycle of life to the next and all that entails. Did you know and feel the embrace of your loved ones at Samhain who have passed on before us, hearing their voices on the winds letting us know that they are ever with us? If any of these words have touched your spirit, then yes, you have felt the magick and are awakened.

Now as we step upon this path of the New Year and the coming Millennium, let your spirit soar. The keyword is spirit. This should be the guiding force in all things. Always use your intuition; let it guide you. If something feels right, then it is right for you. No one can decide your path for you, nor can they make you what you already are. Whether you are solitary in your beliefs and practices, or work with within a group,  one way is no less legitimate then the other. It all comes down to individual choices, and we all have the free will to make our own. Listen to your own spirit and follow it. You will never be lead astray.

If I have but one vision for all this coming New Year, it would be that all would find their path while seeking to help others on their journey. It is through this universal time honored tradition of our ancestors, practiced since time began, that all truths have been passed down and remembered. The Sacred Quest lies before each and every one of us. As you embark upon the well-trodden paths of wisdom and knowledge of long ago where many have traveled before you, are you prepared to suffer to learn? To give of your time and of yourself? To be dedicated in study and practice and in turn helping others who sincerely seek as well? To be of service to humankind? This is the time-honored path of our ancestors and the Old Ways as they have always been. Hence, this is what the term "suffer to learn" truly means. To give of  ones self unconditionally while helping others. To commit to learning and teaching.  Seeing the Divine in all things including one another. For all life is blessed and sacred. This is the life and path of the spiritual seeker. Behold, the Quest awaits thee.

May the coming Millennium, Yule and New Year fill your life with love, light and prosperity on all levels of body, mind and spirit. May your life be filled with magick allowing you to see the wonders in all things. Know and recognize the Divine in all things and one another. And on one crisp winter morning enveloped with the new fallen snow, may you see the Faery at play.

Bright Blessings
