It was 1988 and I had just become a Reiki Practitioner, was meditating regularly, and had taken a one day a week job at a metaphysical bookstore called The Treasure Garden. I was on my way to becoming a Lightworker.
First day on the job, a fine looking gentleman dressed in a business suit walked in, introduced himself, and then headed over to the spiritual psychology section. There was a powerful instantaneous feeling that we had known each other before.
I freely admit to reading pretty much anything I can get my hands on about the Minoans, simply because there's not that much available. I began this particular book with a bit of trepidation, since its cover is full of hype ("The Minoan Super-Civilization and the Truth about Atlantis" is a bit much, I think).
The author, Alan Butler, has previously collaborated with Christopher Knight to write some fairly controversial books such as The Hiram Key Revisited and Before the Pyramids, which didn't help my confidence.
The legacy of Shakespeare's Macbeth lives on in comic form. The impact of fictional lore on the modern occult is considered. And one writer pays tribute to a forgotten classic of Disney animation. It's Airy Monday, our weekly take on news about magic and religion in pop culture. All this and more for the Pagan News Beagle!
It’s storm season. Storms have hit the UK this last week or so, and we’ve seen nightmarish weather conditions, high winds and flooding. People have died. Last year the lanes around Slimbridge, where I then lived, flooded such that some of them were impassable. We’ve been seeing a lot more of this, lately, especially in the winter months.
Ms. Brown,
Thanks for sharing! I hope you and yours fare well with regard to the weather.
