Becoming the Lion
Many years ago I received a spiritual message that I was to "Become the Lion." I didn't know what that meant, but I knew it had something to do with druids, courage, with accepting my personal power, and finding my voice in ritual. It took the better part of a decade to come to a point where I felt like I'd accomplished this goal and could accept ( Read more... ) -
