I am putting this up as reminder at this stage. Crow and I have been discussing the notion of self-sacrifice and devourer as means to the purification etc of Death in the Stag Moon thread in the Sacred Feminine Forum.

The Celtic Year starts with Death/Winter on Samhain. Partly this is to reflect the notion that the womb is dark and "Life" (as in mundane Life) starts in the womb.

The subject of soulmates came up in a conversation the other day and it''s not something I have ever really thought about in any great detail so I thought I'd start a thread here on the subject.

To me a soulmate would be someone who would walk with us, but in the conversation the notion was put forward that a soulmate could bring a lesson but not walk with us through the lesson ie that a soulmate would not necessarily stick around, even for a lesson... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (DragonHawk) http://spiritlodge.yuku.com/topic/4722 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 08:17:27 GMT <![CDATA[ Automatic Writing* ]]> http://spiritlodge.yuku.com/topic/4683/t/Automatic-Writing-.html Automatic Writing
