MM, I finished reading book five (The Fires of Heaven) of Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time last week (I finished reading book four just around Samhain). Interesting story and characters. I got quite absorbed – at least until I thought my life was passing by because it takes me a while to read the…

Selket – Egyptian Goddess of Scorpions and Magic
MM, Selket is an Egyptian goddess I’ve recently discovered. It is interesting how this goddess came to me. I was at a book festival (Word on the Street) with Nathan. One of the last booths we looked at was for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB). They had there a little touch game…

Enneagram – Part 2 and Brain Hemisphere Dominance
MM, I find the enneagram interesting, but I find the inconsistency in the test scores make me question the use of enneagram.

Samhain Week – October 27 to November 2, 2006
MM, Samhain (pronounced “sow-een”) is normally a crazy time for Wiccans. It is not only one of the eight sabbats, but is generally considered to be the Wiccan new year. Consequently, there is tons going on and not enough time to do everything. Samhain (also commonly known as Hallowe’en) then tends to get celebrated over…

The Hindu inspired ritual (called puja in Hindi) was for clearing away obstacles to good fortune. We made offerings to…
