Belief Systems
A look at the current and historic belief systems that feed into New Age philosophies.
An Interview with Kabbalah's Karen Berg  I met Karen Berg, co-founder of the Kabbalah Centres, on the day of the launch of her book ‘God Wears Lipstick’ at the Kabbalah Centre in London. In the interview she shares some of her striking insights on Kabbalah, love and relationships. An Introduction to Shamanism  Shamanism is often thought of in connection with Native American culture, however there are many Shamanic customs and practices to be found across the globe. Shamanism can be traced back at least 50,000 years. Celtic and Druid Beliefs  Celtic culture has existed for centuries. The druids were the protectors of the way of life - not necessarily a religion, but a belief of the universe's energy. Channelling the Energy of the Divine  At this time the whole Planet is being bathed in a higher frequency of Light from the Universe. It is easier than ever to sense your connection with the Infinite, Source, or God. You are a channel through which Source energy can flow. December 2012 and Beyond  I am writing this message at midnight GMT on 12.12.12 after a glorious day filled with Light led by Solara An-Ra in Glastonbury, UK. It has been an exuberant celebration of this key date which marks the opening of an energetic gateway leading us towards 12.21.12, or 21.12.12 to us Brits! Glastonbury - Place of Legend  Glastonbury is a small town with a big reputation. Located in Somerset UK it is a focal point of the Arthurian myths and legends. The curious energy of the place, centred on Glastonbury Tor, has attracted a concentration of healers, psychics & mystics unparalleled anywhere in the world. Handfasting and Spiritual Wedding Ceremonies  Handfastings are wedding ceremonies. My husband Steve and I were Handfasted at Beltane and we wrote our own ceremony. Here I share what we got up to and discuss some of the choices to be made if you are planning your own Handfasting. Taoism with the Barefoot Doctor  The Barefoot Doctor delivers his own distinctive brand of Taoism bringing an ancient Chinese spiritual system bang up to date for the ‘Urban Warrior’. For those who aren’t familiar with the Doc, he’s one of the best known healers in the UK today. I love his ‘down to earth’ style of spirituality. The Challenge of 2012  As many are aware 2012 is the year the ancient Mayan calendar runs out. Some are keen to spread doom and gloom talking about the ‘end of days’, speculating that there will be a final cataclysm for humans on this planet. I believe more optimistically that there are a range of future potentialities. The Tree of Life for Insight and Personal Growth  The Tree of Life is a symbol representing all of Creation taken from the Kabbalah. Studying it can give you much insight and personal growth. Here I give you a simple walk through the Tree to get you started on your journey. What are Mandalas?  Mandalas are ancient and found across many cultures. Mandala is a Sanskrit word which is usually translated as meaning ‘round’. The simplest description of a mandala is a pattern, often circular, that represents more than itself. They are ‘cosmic maps’ that connect us to our place in the universe. What is the New Age?  People have asked me what New Age really means. It is a valid question and there is no succinct and definitive answer, such is the nebulous nature of New Age! Here’s my own explanation of this vast movement as your New Age Editor. What is the New Age?  People have asked me what New Age really means. It is a valid question and there is no succinct and definitive answer, such is the holistic nature of New Age! Here’s my own explanation as your New Age Editor. What will happen in 2012?  There have been many predictions for the year 2012. Some are doom and gloom, apocalyptic nightmares. At the other end of the scale some predict we will ascend in our Lightbodies. Here I present my thoughts and feelings about this landmark time. Yin and Yang  The ancient Taoist concept of yin and yang is a way of understanding that the Universe and everything in it, from the smallest insect to the largest solar system, is in a state of flux.
