Lövjerskan - The Female Northern Healer

2025/06/02

My recent trip to Sweden took me across the whole country, which is bigger than France, I drove about 2800km (1800 miles) and I often passed areas of deep endless forests. When I stopped for a break, the air was full of woody and flowery fragrances and humming trees. I love it when you hear the wings of the birds flying above you, that’s when you know that you have left the tyranny of the sound of the turbine engine which often drowns out everything else in our modern time.During this trip to my

Thoughtforms, Egregores and Tulpas part 1

2025/02/13

The concept of egregores is nothing new, the ancient Greeks knew them as the "Watchers," and in Tibet they are called "Tulpas." They can be best described as immaterial entities born out of human thoughts, created from the power of a group mind - a nation is a perfect example of a large historical egregore - a nation is an idea that seems like an entity as it acts like a god and its spoken about as if it were a god.
