Writing Rituals

Harth has been the center of a great spiritual war since the archangel Dom'rel led a rebellion in Eternity many years before. Even the beings that predate the archangels, the Celestials, have taken part. Both have fallen from the Light's grace, leading to primordial conflicts, but humanity has been blessed with a number of heroic gifts. Many of those gifts have lain dormant for centuries, only to resurface now at Harth's greatest time of need.

She began working with Gabriel Walsh, a fiendishly successful criminal lawyer who also had links to the town.

Kafka is one of 161 inspired-and inspiring-minds, among them, novelists, poets, playwrights, painters, philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians, who describe how they subtly maneuver the many (self-inflicted) obstacles and (self-imposed) daily rituals to get done the work they love to do, whether by waking early or staying up late; whether by self-medicating with doughnuts or bathing, drinking vast quantities of coffee, or taking long daily walks.

More of Mason Currey's irresistible Daily Rituals, this time exploring the daily obstacles and rituals of women who are artists - painters, composers, sculptors, scientists, filmmakers, and performers.

We will be starting with Zuhetta, in the state still known as Dema, and the BFC (Bonfire City) therein. As a territory, Dema survived military actions taken in the ages past. As Emi-Shet was a super-city territory in Mol’do, the BFC is now the same as Zuhetta. Its ordinary boundaries had long since expanded East and West, now at an impressive 1,001 km sq.

We all long for boundless love as we long for home. But how can we find our home our meaning and purpose if we don't know our self? Wise-Love is an exploration of the self, or consciousness, guided through the meditative eyes of saints, sages, seers, and mystics. As we embark on the journey to the self, we discover that the self's most charming characteristic part of its eternal, unchanging nature is that it is a lover, a lover who can be satisfied only when ordinary love evolves into wise-love.

Rogue and wicked spiritual principalities are tearing Harth asunder, engulfing both land and people in a cataclysm of darkness.

The beautiful cycle of death and rebirth plays out in spectacles of ancient might.

The smoke from Yojun’s assault in Asheya poured out in every direction across Zuhetta, blanketing much of the continent in a haze. The blue skies over Zufa’zuf were blotted out for a period, and lightning flashes replaced the sun.

The wisdom goddesses of yoga who embody shakti, or sacred energy, continue to gain popularity as we become familiar with the ways they help us break through negativity, trauma, and dysfunction to attain self-love, peace, and abundance. Yet, we rarely hear about Sri Radha and her unique position as the primal Shakti because she is hidden deep within the Upanishads, Tantras, and Puranas as their most confidential spiritual subject.
