Excerpt:
“In the middle of the night I was startled awake by a strong clear impression of a giant raven clawing into my shoulders from behind, cawing, no shrieking, ‘Wake up! Wake up! It’s time!’ Instantly, intuitively, I knew it was the Crone, and that I was to somehow help Her come back into collective awareness. But how? I had no idea.”

“I discovered that at the source of life is soul; that if I am in touch with soul, and align my personal will with its directive, then I experience the universe as alive, and it in turn supports me.”

Excerpt:
“During my walks I also ask for a sign from the universe. Not directly, not fervently, as there is nothing specific I need to know. Besides, I am embarrassed to ask — probably a holdover from not feeling worthy.”

Excerpt:
“Something is at hand; ‘it’ sits on my left shoulder, or it leads the way. It appears and disappears at will. Sometimes there are lots of them, sometimes only one; sometimes I feel utterly abandoned.”

“One of the stranger aspects of my peripatetic life is that on certain rare occasions I have been ‘guided by an inner voice.’ The first time it filled the room, made me look around, wonder who said that.”

“Those who have enjoyed the privilege of being fully present during the mystery of a loved one’s dying process as well as those who have undergone their own near-death experience, know:“Death,” the so-called final frontier, is not annihilation but transformation.”

“In that one short year I learned an invaluable lesson: only as I integrate my ego into a larger, more impersonal self can I trust myself to work in the realm of magic without danger of political contamination.”

Excerpt:
“I felt like I was being pulled to the right, to enter a darkened room. Peeking around the corner (why was I peeking? did I already know that I would be afraid?) I was instantly galvanized by what looked like two eyes, gleaming in the darkness.”

Excerpt:
“By the time I was 26, my internal process had accelerated to the point where the masks I was wearing ripped off, one after another — the masks of good child, good student, good wife, good mother. Feeling naked and raw, my only protection was to burrow deep underground.”

Excerpt:
“For over 30 years now my motto has been, “What I am most afraid of, that is what I must do.” And clearly, here, I am shown the path ahead. Knowing that there is something I must do, something deeply unknown and ultimately, I sense, utterly transforming, excites me.”
