Welcome to another edition of White

Light. Once again, I would like to invite

you on a journey of self development

and spiritual growth. Our magazine was

created sixteen years ago to provide

spiritual pilgrims with a support network

and a resource magazine to help us

understand our spiritual journey. I do

not have to tell you that we live in

confusing times and now, more than at

any other time, we face spiritual

challenges unknown to our

grandparents. You will find in these

pages, a cornucopea of choices, views,

visions and ideas. These are supplied

by our contributors who are, in most

cases, not professional journalists, but

visionaries who offer their views and

opinions on many healing and spiritual

modalities. Yes, there are many

pathways out there, but remember they

all lead to the same destination. Your

ultimate choice is to follow the pathway

of your heart. When you read these

articles, simply tune into your heart, into

your inner most feelings, and you will be

guided to your particular pathway. Know

also, that the destination is assured, for

guidance always walks gently at our

side.

Well Spring has sprung & I’m extremely happyabout that as I don’t like the cold not that we reallyhave a winter up here but just the same warmer

Spring Clean! Spring Clean! Spring Clean!

It is time to wash away the old that no longer serves. A

new lighter and golden vibration is filtering down upon

humanity though many of the old are too set in their ways

and covered still in grime and dust to accept and receive

this vibration. I speak in metaphorical terms of limited

beliefs, judgmental thoughts and still unforgiveness,

grudges that are being held; these are dirt and grime; they

do not sparkle like the iridescent light of joy, compassion,

love, peace and harmony.

The world is morphing more into two, the dark and the

world of light, fear as opposed to love, judgment as oppose

to acceptance.

Have you made your choice as to which world you wish to

reside in? Do not be fooled, do not fool yourself. Your

choice will be shown by the lightness of your heart. Dig

deep to delve and uncover any unforgiveness, grudges and

judgments you are holding of others or yourself and wash

your self clean. Many will not have to dig too deeply. From

my vantage I see many who talk the talk but do not walk

the talk. Be brutally honest with yourself and take a good

look; are you willing to step into the golden light with a

golden light body and heart?

Each morning on rising and at night before sleep settle into

your heart space, into the core of your being and breath

out and imagine washing away with cool waters all that no

longer serves you well, let go and wash away any

attachments from or to others, and then breath in the

golden light of the cosmos to fill the vacuum with

compassion and love.

Send love to Mother Earth and connect deeply your heart

with hers.

Her labour is still in progress, all midwives are called to

serve; anyone who cares for her is her midwife. Do what

you can; physically, emotionally, mentally and energetically

to align her. Do no ask what good can I alone do? Just do

what you can, your soul will lead the way. Be at one with

her, resonate your breathing with her and feel her beat at

one with her children who love her.

I am Athenah

Goddess of Wisdom and Strength bringing to you the

cleansing waters, wash yourself clean and rise afresh.

Niki Stewart is a fourth generation Psychic and this

is all she has done for the last 25 years. She

comes from a very ancient background and most

of the women in her family were psychic and powerful

healers. From the age of 7 Niki was initiated into the

psychic realm by her grandmother and taught all about

her gifts, so not to feel strange because of the visions and

dreams she was having.

Her career as a Psychic Medium began from the age of

19 and back in those days it was difficult to fit into a world

that feared and shunned this type of work.

Through many obstacles and spiritual awakenings her

path was set and thus began a journey of self discovery

and also discovery of the unseen world. Constant visions

and communication with spirit began to unfold. The life of

a Light worker is not an easy one but it is very satisfying.

Seeing peoples lives go upward is the greatest reward.

Her philosophy is simple. Not everything is set in stone

and your will is your guide and witness. Life is a constant

flow of experience chosen by you prior to your birth. Each

lesson is tailored to suit your spiritual needs and so there

is solution to everything.

Niki runs her own business which has seen amazing

results. One is her journey with a recording artist that she

healed over months. This artist won 6 Grammy awards.

Closer to home Niki has worked with many many people

and in her eyes all are the same.

Niki at present works for Psychic TV as their Love Guru

but is also filming for Haunted Australia which is a great

thrill. Proof of life beyond this earthly realm will become

the norm one day and we will learn so much about the

truth of this life. All is interwoven in a spiral of energy and

none is separate.

Cover Story

Niki

Stewart


We are constantly evolving and creating our life. The truth

is that your greatest understanding will be that you are

the co creator of your life with the tools to overcome the

lessons you are here to understand and overcome. Each

soul has a list of sign posts which shows no matter what

economic level or colour or background, it can be shown.

We are all part of a far greater plan. I named my business

Soul Sea for that reason.

Imagine each of us only as energy and nothing else. We

are literally a sea of souls around and within this cosmos.

Each being just a blueprint and destiny and not one is

more or better than the other.

One of the greatest gifts you will give yourself is knowing

you are a wonderful creation of pure love. Your potential

unlimited and your capacity to love is vast. The challenge

is to get you there so you can awaken again and see it.

This industry I am in has taught me so much and

especially about myself. To love unconditionally is a gift.

To breathe is a gift. To lose sometimes is also a gift for

what it brings to your souls journey.

I often get asked would I change anything and my answer

is simple... I can’t change the past but I can create the

future. This is what I try to instil in my clients and that they

are beautiful in their imperfections. The truth is that this

is true perfection...

Niki's goal is this: To know your divinity no matter who or

what you are. That you are the lead actor and director of

your movie and you hold all the answers.

The past year has whizzed by yet again and it

seems impossible that we should once more be

moving into spring. But here we are and once we

tune into this energy of ‘newness’ we’ll start to see

changes happening in our lives just as they are

happening in our gardens.

As we approach the Spring Equinox, the feast of Ostara

in the Pagan calendar, which this year is on 23

September, we are becoming aware of the shifts in the

temperature and in the daylight hours (though winter is

still making itself felt). We should also be sure that we

are aware of the shifts in the energies around us. This

difference is as noticeable as the rises in temperature if

we pay attention and make a real effort to ‘feel’ it.

It is in using our understanding of these energy shifts

that we begin to feel magic in the air – and once we are

aware of it we can utilize it in our daily life.

We cause change in our life by shifting the direction of

the energies around us. If things are not going well –

perhaps there is a difficulty at work or a health issue has

arisen – our first thought should be that we can make

this situation better by moving the energy around and

sending it in a different direction.

There are several ways to do this. One of the simplest

and most effective is to sit quietly and focus the attention

on the situation that needs changing. Then see the

outcome you would like to create. The next step is to

create a mental ‘motion picture’ from the difficult

situation to the desired outcome. You will find that as

you do this you will see the in between steps more

clearly, one thing following another to the final outcome.

This happens because we know instinctively what we

need to do to make a change, but we don’t always want

to do it so we push the idea into the subconscious.

When we start a mental movie it will go just like the

movie on TV from one step to the next and will not miss

things out because we have subconsciously decided

they are too hard.

Once we ‘see’ them with the mind’s eye they will not

seem so impossible and you will then find that you are

The Time

of New

Beginnings


checking out ideas on your mental check list and getting

ready to take those in between steps that lead from a

difficulty to a desired finish. This happens because you

have changed the direction of the flow of energy around

you.

Work on one thing at a time, don’t be impatient, and be

sure to watch for the small changes that show you the

energy is on the move. You will find this one of the

simplest least painful and generally most effective ways

to create magic in your life.

Take a moment now to give some thought to any new

projects you may have in mind. This is a good time to

begin them since the energy of the season is focused

on new beginnings. Once you tune your personal

thoughts into this idea as well you have a supply of very

powerful energies which you can send to your desired

goal. So start spring with an open mind knowing that

you can make a difference in how your life is going. You

are the captain of the ship that is your daily life, so steer

it where you would like to go and watch ‘magic happen.’

If you are in the northern hemisphere be aware that the

energy is just as real and just as noticeable although

you will be feeling the calming energies of autumn as

the year begins to slow down. Use those energies in

the same way with variations on what you wish to

accomplish.

I would very much enjoy hearing from any of you on

either side of Mother Earth about your experiences with

‘magical energy’. My email is

[email protected]. Let me know how

things are moving in your life.


Culturally speaking, the way we look at our family history and

ancestors is very different. In China Yin Feng Shui is about

burials, there, it is important to orient the bodies in auspicious

direction for family’s luck and prosperity. The Western approach,

we have not much choice, it is often the next spot available in

the cemetery.

Here in Australia, only a few decades ago, many indigenous

tribes kept skulls and femur bones of the deceased. They

wrapped them carefully and kept them in hidden caves. Each

year, they visited the place, opened the package, discretely

mourned together, cried for the loss of the loved one and

remembered fond memories too. Then, they put a clean natural

wrap around the bones and lovingly put them away safely in

this secret place until their next visit.

Today, most of us are aware and respect the views of Traditional

Owners, we don’t pronounce names; avoid showing pictures

and films of the deceased ones. People even change their

names because they were given it initially from the person who

is now deceased. We respect.

All this to say that the Feng Shui approach from the ancestors’

point of view will be different from one culture to another.

For all of us though, it is important to honour our ancestors, they

are our roots. Westerners, often keep photo albums. Some

prefer to display old pictures of family around their homes. The

best place will then be in your rumpus or family room or in your

sector ‘3’ relating to Family, Health, Past & Respect. I would

recommend avoid putting pictures of deceased in bedrooms

though!

Fig 1 – Place this grid onto your premises

aligning your entry door to 8-1-6

With internet and the possibility of research today, it is

interesting to discover more about our origins from. That is

when we can... many names have been blacked out with the

stolen generation. In my case, our family shows the repetitive

pattern of many of my parents and grand-parents having being

adopted, no written trace of genetic fathers!

A lady who I met in Europe had created and painted a

genealogy tree on her wall in her study (astutely located in

sector 3). I took this picture before she was going to add small

pictures of her ancestors. It was her way thinking of them and

being in gratitude for being who she is today. She had placed

the tree on the wall behind her back. This genealogy tree

became her support and when she was working at her desk, it

helped her lots - she felt surrounded and supported by them all.

One of my readers emailed me one day asking if it was good to

keep her mother’s ashes and where to place them. She had

kept them in her bedroom and was struggling finding peace and

sleep. There is no right or wrong in the decision you make, you

simply need to feel comfortable with what you choose. In her

case, she wanted to keep them so I recommended to find a

place in sector ‘3’ of her home which had a corridor. The ashes

were then displayed respectfully inside the cabinet. This lady

felt immediately a difference and her life and energy flew

instantly better.

~ Feng Shui ~Dealing with

Ancestors


Are you an authentic shaman or an eco-warrior?

People often ask me what role does divination play in the

shamanic culture.

The answer is very simple!

Divination and a personal connection to the psychic energy

field is foundational in all shamanic practice. Core

shamanism begins with divination practice!

There is a big difference between an initiated psychic

shaman and a new age eco warrior. A shaman understands

that soul energy is ever present in all things. Earth, sun,

trees animals water, etc are all part of one soul energy. The

shaman connects at the soul level using psychic sensory

perception via divination to sense imbalance and instability.

[The soul energy is not conscious of itself and therefore is

malleable and easily manipulated]. The shaman then works

at the psychic level to determine the unconscious,

subconscious and sometimes conscious psychic energies

that create a disturbance. The shaman divines between

lower, middle and upper psychic realm energies to align and

shift the psychic energy that is affecting the soul energy.

What separates a psychic shaman from an eco warrior is

allowance. A psychic shaman allows all things to be. Not the

shamans will, but the will of the lower, middle and upper

psychic realm. If the shaman confers with the psychic

energy field and determines it is the right time in evolution

for a river to be polluted or trees to harvested or a human to

be ill and die. Then so be it!

If that is what is right for that soul energy at that time a

shaman will not interfere. The psychic realm determines the

balance, not the shaman. The shaman defers all power over

to the lower, middle and upper psychic world energies by

divining for answers. Not by allowing there personal EGO or

opinions to take charge or try and control the outcomes.

It is important that those wanting to experience true

shamanism in modern times do not get stuck on the cycle

of story telling by repeating the actions of the past. Evolution

means the modern urban shaman learns to divine using a

sacred divination tool. [this has always been represented by

objects in the shamans magic bag. The shaman would

always divine using the objects in their magic bag] After

divination the story or healing medicine will unfold in tune

with evolving times.

In the case of the urban shaman that divines through

modern day techniques, the communication of the stories

and messages can be passed on through song and dance,

if that is what is guided, but also via words or pictures on,

Facebook, youtube or Tumblr without drums and rattles or

camp fire rituals of any kind.

Shock Horror!

Eco warriors, like saviours of the past. Sense a human

version of right and wrong. The shaman has no such

association. The shaman is in the human world, but not of

the human world.

To the shaman it might be part of the big plan for all humans

to be wiped off the planet. It might be part of the plan to wipe

the slate clean and start again.

Human fear says this can't happen! This would be wrong!

Without a unified connection to lower middle and upper

psychic world energies that they are bound to defer to in the

face of their own EGO and eventual physical demise a so

called "shaman" is nothing more than "eco warrior" out to

save the people and planet. NOT a soul level psychic diviner

which is the common denominator of all "otherworld

initiated" shaman.

Conscious Living World’s Fair

Donald E. Stephens Convention Centre, Chicago1 - 3 August 2014


“The Fun at the Fair”

As September welcomes new beginnings with

Ostara in the South and to the North we celebrate

Mabon: I have chosen runes to craft Magik rituals

for each.

Spring is the time of year when the cycle of life, death

and rebirth is complete. As plants bloom and new life

returns, the theme of resurrection is ever present. As

Ostara (the spring equinox) arrives, it’s the season for

that which has gone dormant to become revitalised,

alive and reborn. This ritual includes a symbolic

rebirthing.

Ostara: for new beginnings.

Rune: Kenaz; Beacon, light, power to create / transform.

Glyph is <.

Kenaz: (K: Beacon or torch) Vision, revelation,

knowledge, creativity, inspiration, and technical ability.

Vital fire of life, harnessed power, fire of transformation

and regeneration. Power to create your own reality, the

power of light. Open to new strength, energy and power

now. Passion, sexual love.

You will need:

- Dried Sage

- Fire proof bowl

- Lavender oil

- Lighter

- Black candle

- White candle

- Yellow candle

- 6 small pieces of paper to write/draw on

If you have a Tarot set you may also place the Fool card

on your Altar.

Prepare yourself by way of meditation or cleansing as

you concentrate on what you wish to free yourself of and

that which you wish to embrace, then prepare your

sacred space.

Place the sage in the bowl and set on your Altar.

Draw the Kenaz glyph < upon four of the pieces of paper

and place them in positions of North, South, East and

West around the outside of the bowl.

Write what you wish to let go of on one of the remaining

pieces of paper and on the other what it is you wish to

invite.

Place your candles as thus… black to the left, white to

the right and the yellow

above and at the centre of

them.

Light the candles with the

black first, yellow next and

then the white.

Taking up the paper of

what you wish to let go of,

contemplate on this for a

moment and then set it to

the flame of the yellow

candle and place in the

bowl. Take the lavender

oil and allow three drops

to fall on the paper’s ash,

saying:

Runes to Craft Magik Rituals for New Beginnings


“As Ostara’s light casts the dark from my life

I let go of all past strife”

NOW hold up the paper with what you wish to invite and

say:

“As all that was is laid to rest

In the now and future I invest”

THEN contemplate on this for a moment. Set this to the

yellow candle’s flame and place in the bowl. Drop three

drops of lavender oil on the paper or ash saying:

“Ostara’s Light has banished the old,

In me new beginning She does unfold.

My Lord and Lady this is my plea

As I have spoken So It Mote Be”

Mabon Northern Hemisphere

Rune Fehu; fertility, harvest and to give thanks.

Fehu (F: Domestic cattle, wealth) Possessions won or

earned, earned income, luck. Abundance, financial

strength in the present or near future. Sign of hope and

plenty, success and happiness. Social success. Energy,

foresight, fertility, creation/destruction (becoming).

Colour of the day: White however to acknowledge the

Lord and the colours of the Season also have an orange

or brown candle.

Incense of the day: Cedar or Cedar oil.

Known as the Witch’s Thanksgiving, Mabon occurs at

the Autumnal Equinox. As the year shifts from light to

dark, the focus shifts from the masculine to the feminine,

from the God to the Goddess, and from external work

to internal reflection. On this day, Lugh, honoured at

Lughnasadh, sacrifices himself in battle with his dark

twin. In Wiccan mythology, the Goddess, full and radiant

in her own abundance,

waits to give birth to the

new Sun god at Yule.

Also known as Harvest

Home, the Feast of

Avalon, Wine Harvest,

and the Festival of

Dionysus, Mabon can also

be seen as a celebration

of the god of the vine. In

either form, it marks the

second harvest and is a

time to relax, enjoy and

give thanks for the bounty

of the earth.

Create an altar with the

colours, fruits and flowers of Autumn. Decorations could

include leaves, grain, apples, grapes, the Fehu Rune,

the Empress card from your favourite tarot deck.

Light an orange or brown candle and reflect on all that

you have harvested in the past year. Light another

candle in thanks for each item or event, saying:

“Thank you Lady, for your great gift of abundance.”

End by raising a chalice containing a small amount of

juice, wine or mead, saying:

“Thank you Lord for your gift of sacrifice and bounty.”

Take one sip and then go outside and offer the rest in

libation to the Earth. Let the candles burn down and

leave the altar, adding fresh items as needed, until

Samhain.

Wishing you health, harmony and happiness,

In these transitional Seasons,

Blessings

Aura cleansing can help you stay well and feel

more alive, more clear-headed, and more

emotionally stable and balanced. Our auras, or

energy fields, interact constantly with the energy of

others. It's not uncommon for us to take on some of

the energy of other folks.

For example, have you ever been in a great mood,

then spent time with someone sour and negative, only

to find that your good mood has disappeared and you

feel drained? If so you have most likely taken on some

of the energy of this negative person.

Usually it does not serve us well to absorb others'

energies into our own auras (although there are

exceptions to this). Our auras can also harbour the

energies of unwanted thought forms (such as negative

self-images and negative self-talk) and unprocessed

emotions.

Any of these foreign energies can make our energy

field less balanced, and can cause blockages to the

natural flow of energy in our field.

When our auras are harbouring unwanted energies,

we may feel tired, down, unbalanced, depressed, out

of wack, anxious, not quite ourselves, or even ill. I

myself feel unwanted negative energy as muscle

twitches and a sharp stabbing pain in my right

shoulder. The good news is that we can clear our

energy through various aura cleansing techniques.

Aura cleansing makes us feel more vibrant, clearer,

happier, and far more balanced in thoughts and

attitude towards our own lives.

Aura Cleansing TechniquesThere are many aura cleansing techniques. Here are

just a few of the ones I use myself.

1. If I sense negative energy I immediately take a deep

breath in and hold this for a count of four. On the

exhale, the out breath I say to myself ‘negativity is not

welcome here….only love’.

2. I go outside and embrace nature. Sitting next to a

tree in my garden or in the local park and being within

the trees own healing aura is wonderfully refreshing.

If I am near the ocean, I run into the waves or just

stand there in the ocean with my jeans rolled up, open

up my arms and thank the ocean for healing my aura.

If I am not able to get outside I run myself a deep bath,

pop on some music and relax in the water.

If you can't get out of the city, get a pot plant on your

desk and in times of stress stick your finger into the

dirt. It sounds crazy but believe me, before I became

aware of my psychic ability I worked in brokerage

services in a highly demanding stressful job and

intuitively did this many times. Try it, it really helps you

disconnect from the negativity around you. Don’t forget

to give thanks to the plant though.

Aura

Cleansing:


3. Smudge yourself with a sage or incense stick. Waft

the smudge or incense stick around your body from

head to toe, allowing the smoke to purify you.

4. Crystals are great aura purifiers. Crystals that I use

are chiastolite, black quartz, obsidian, stibnite, and

black tourmaline. Being deeply psychic I also wear a

labradorite pendant at all times as this is a powerful

psychic protection stone.

You can carry a crystal with you in your pocket or in

the left side of your bra next to your heart, or wear it

around your neck, or keep one at an altar or at the side

of your bed or under your pillow.

If you're feeling the need for something more powerful,

lie down and place the crystal on your brow, between

your eyebrows and a little above. Relax, breathing

deeply and comfortably, and imagine a white, purifying

light emerging from the crystal and surrounding your

body in universal loving white light. Giving thanks to

the crystal and the universe afterwards.

You can cleanse your crystals by placing them outside

on a cloth every full moon.

5. Imagine your body completely filled with white light.

Visualize the white light purifying and restoring your

body, and displacing any negative or foreign energy.

Give yourself time to enjoy this feeling.

Expand the light beyond your body, as many times as

necessary until it extends a foot or two beyond your

body--or wherever feels intuitively right. Visualize or

feel it purifying and restoring your field, and displacing

any negative or foreign energy, pushing it out into the

universe, where it will be neutralized and reabsorbed

into the cosmic field. Give yourself time to enjoy this

feeling. You can alternate the white light with using the

image of golden light. I pulse golden sparkles of bright

light throughout my own energy field when I am doing

this. It is really invigorating!

Try out some of the above techniques and you'll feel

heaps more relaxed, peaceful, clearer headed, hopeful

and positive about your life.

If you give it a go and your own best efforts don't seem

Our one-of-a-kind stem cell nutrition products have

been designed to support your body’s adult stem cell

physiology, providing you with an unmatched level

of wellness, both inside and out.*

Many people do not realise that adult stem cells play a key

role in the natural renewal of your body and are essential for

the maintenance and repair of organs and tissue throughout

your lifetime.

Due to factors such as age, stress, pollution and poor diet,

there is a reduction in the release and activity of adult stem

cells, which may lead to a decline in the natural ability of your

body to maintain optimal health. Stemtech’s clinically studied

stem cell nutrition line of products is designed to help

support three most important aspects of stem cell

physiology: the release, circulation and migrations of stem

cells.

Stemtech’s products do not contain stem cells. They are

composed of natural botanicals and other ingredients that

have been clinically documented to support the performance

of your own stem cells.

Stemtech’s line of adult stem cell nutrition products for

humans includes SE2®, StemFlo®, ST-5 with MigraStem®

and DermaStem®. These products are designed

synergistically, to provide you with the maximum results

when taken together throughout your day. Don’t be fooled

by imitators, Stemtech pioneered this exciting new

supplement category, and is the only company with a full line

of products that are clinically shown to support the body’s

natural renewal system.

For animals, Stemtech has created StemEquine®. These

products are created with the same high-quality standards

as our products for humans.

*These statements have not been evaluated by TGA and

Medsafe. These products are not intended to diagnose,

treat, cure or prevent any disease.

SE2SE2® Advanced Stem CellSupport is the world’s first ALL-

NATURAL supplement

documented to support the release

of adult stem cells from bone

marrow.

Our patent-pending, proprietary

formula is long-lasting and

releases millions of stem cells in

the bloodstream. It is an extraordinary blend of ingredients

starting with AFA Concentrate.

An advancement in Cellular Renewal – helping Naturedo what it is designed to do Our Advanced Formula helps the body maintain and repair

tissue and organs. In fact, Stemtech was first to discover the

way to support the body’s natural renewal system by

supporting the release of millions of adult stem cells into the

bloodstream.

SE2 is not a traditional multivitamin supplement that works

to supply nourishment to old cells. Instead, SE2 supports

the natural release of “master” cells that can transform

themselves into healthy new cells.

Stemtech is the Gold Standard

in Stem Cell Nutrition


StemEnhanceStemEnhance is the world’s first

all-natural supplement

documented to support the natural

release of adult stem cells from the

bone marrow.

In a clinical study, published in a

2007 issue of Cardiovascular

Revascularization Medicine,

StemEnhance increased the

number of circulating adult stem

cells by approximately 3-4 million within the bloodstream. A

patented all-natural concentrate of an edible aquatic

botanical known Aphanizomenon Flos-aquae (AFA), the

supplement offers the ultimate in stem cell nutrition, by

supporting the natural renewal process within the body.

StemEnhance, the right choice for Stem Cell Nutrition!

StemFlo StemFlo is a cutting-edge mixture

of antioxidants and special

enzymes that support optimal

blood flow, even to the smallest

capillaries. StemFlo supports the

smooth “flow” of adult stem cells

and nutrients to all parts of the

body assisting and supporting in

your body’s Stem Cell Nutrition*.

In clinical studies, StemFlo was shown to improve blood

circulation within thirty minutes of consumption. The studies

showed increased blood circulation in capillaries as well as

substantial reduction in blood markers associated with fibrin

production, too much of which may clog small blood vessels,

along with a reduced oxidative stress.

process by supporting the migration of adult stem cells to

tissues and organs in need.

Soul mate energy is very misunderstood. We have

images of the sunset and everything being perfect,

but alas there is so much to this than that.

I am not saying you won’t experience that all-

encompassing love in your life, but for the most part it is

about the soul evolving. Soul mates are deeply

connected to your soul experience and you know each

other deeply. We venture in as if out of nowhere and the

instant connection is felt, whether it is platonic romantic

or sexual. On the flip side a soul mate can repel you too.

Feelings of dislike, no trust, detachment, and perhaps a

judgemental view can occur.

Remember it is about the soul evolving. Each will mirror

your beauty and your darkness depending on what the

learning is, but all are important. The train station that

life is will throw at you the most wonderful moments and

the most diabolical and it is about what we learn, how we

handle it and what we walk away with. We have all made

agreements with each other to connect in this conscious

existence and either grow or not grow but all leads to love

regardless. Higher level soul mates do much work

together. They will have mirroring views on life on a

deeper level moralistically even though their spiritual

beliefs may differ. This can be either a deeply romantic

tie or a platonic one, but both know “my life changed

when we found each other for the better”.

A lot come together to learn about trust and showing of

the darkest parts we reject and there is nothing more

beautiful than someone loving you and your darkness as

it has an effect to your view of yourself and the world. The

romantic soul mate connection is thrilling because it will

bring out the child in you and them. It brings out a

vulnerability but also many fears to be dealt with as you

learn to let go. This relationship is based on an

evolutionary process in which both have learned that

setting someone free is better than holding them down.

These relationships will last a long time. The soul mate

that brings you to your knees is the hardest to

understand. I hear often of “it was so good to begin with

and then went so bad”. These connections are meant to

challenge the very fabric of your being and to teach you

about your own self-worth, and what you deserve.

Unless this aspect is understood the patterns will

continue until one either changes their relationship with

self or chooses to be a victim. Soul mates can be just

sexual also but the soul meshing still occurs. It is a flesh

level connection but still has deep ramifications. It is the

unleashing of sexual power as one is the predator and

one the victim. Sexual soul mates will never truly evolve

without the depth, but will learn that they want more and

will eventually release the need for control over another

if ready.

Your family, children and so forth, are all soul mates to a

degree and even though our wounds often come from our

childhood it is exactly how it is supposed to be in order

for your souls evolving. Once someone understands that

being free is free of attachment and neediness the love

you will encounter will be nothing like in the past. It has

a domino effect and each person you encounter will

recognise your light as it flames their own light.

Neediness has nothing to do with love but is the cousin

of love, and its name is fear. Whether it is fear of love

each and every person is a soul level connection through

your life orchestrated by you to help you grow. Once you

awaken to the learning then there is no greater truth you

will know. Freedom is love and love is freedom. The only

chains around you are the ones built by fear. Instead of

blaming and judging why don’t you look deeper and ask

what would love do…? The answers will give birth to a

whole new life for you and all you ever knew.

Niki Stewart


Soul Mate s


The common bond that brings us

all together is the deep desire to

know “who am I” and the desire

for eternal peace, love and happiness

- This yearning is the inherent aspect

of every being as the impulse of the

universal intelligence that birthed the

entire cosmos wanting to leap into life

and know itself through you.

The general way of discovering the

sense of human self and happiness is

through identification with the gross

body, mind, time and objects .This is

achieved through labeling ourselves as

me or I, for example: I am a mum, I am

a female, I am good, I am pretty, I am

successful AND through labeling the

external world of others or objects.

They are this, they are that, that should

be this way or they should behave that

way. We identify with time stating:

When I get that new car, then I will be

happy OR If he or she didn’t do such

and such to me a month ago I wouldn’t

be experiencing this suffering now.

By comparing our self with others,

objects and time the human mind is

able to stay separated from the

responsibility to achieving permanent

happiness because it holds on to ALL

the things of temporary existence.

When the realization occurs that the

self’s sense of satisfaction is no longer

fulfilled by the beliefs, norms and

conforms of culture and society we

then go searching for another place

where we can find a sense of ‘self’ and

that is through the exploration of the

spiritual and subtle dimensions

In order to fulfill the “spiritual’ desire for

a sense of self, we go searching for

new labels that satisfy the spiritual ego

through learning new modalities,

connecting with spirit beings, learning

energy medicine, going on pilgrimages

or visiting gurus etc. Through this stage

of the journey we collect new labels

such as: I am a healer, I am a channel,

I am a disciple – who: takes this, does

that, evokes them to get “enlightened”.

The belief of the mind says If I get

enlightened and connected to all the

Beings of Light and Love THEN I will

know Who I am and receive eternal

peace and happiness. But, once again

we forget that even the subtle states of

existence are also only temporary.

While ever we try to find true peace

and happiness in something outside of

ourselves that has temporary

existence, it is obvious that one will

never find everlasting peace.

Find the space that does not move.

Find that essence of Being that does

not come and go. Rest there and you

will be free


Soul

Consciousnessthe True Nature of Self

The seed of the soul

Just as a seed needs the perfect

conditions to bloom into its fullest

potential so too does the seed of the

soul within us need the correct

conditions for us to reach our true

sense of being and its fullest potential.

When the correct condition is met,

when you are independent (not co

dependant) of the external and

impermanent world and all the things

that ‘point’ us there…you will awaken

to your own true nature of soul which is

no longer a subject of the mind or the

programs and beliefs of human

conditioning. Your own power of the

impulse of the divine that lives as you

and through you will arise and

miracles, uniqueness and radiance will

LIVE. The fertile ground in which the

seed of the soul will grow and bloom is

the space of silent consciousness –

presence – the ground of Being. This

silent centre of your own being is the

same space in which the entire cosmos

arose from and Meditation – is the

metaphor for this Ground of Being

within – or simply known as “sitting

still”.

In silent meditation you are not trying to

become silent…but notice what arises

IN and from the silence. It is where all

the labels, thoughts and definitions of

ME and the stories about the world and

the spiritual dimensions arise and fall

back into it. Once again, all the things

of the world and spiritual dimensions

‘point’ to ways of achieving ever

present peace and joy , yet the

‘pointing’ is still a movement that is

experienced in the space of ‘time’.

Ever-present freedom, liberation,

peace, joy and infinite love cannot be

found in the temporary experience of

time, actions, words, objects and

experiences. Permanent freedom,

liberation, peace, joy and infinite love is

found only in the state that does not

move – Silence.

Who am I?

I am the wordless and all words; I am

the sightless and everything seen.

I am that which is not a feeling and

everything felt everywhere and by

everybody.

I am silence - I am infinite Love –

There is a scenario thatis likely very familiar tomany on a path of

Spiritual growth. It starts withspending good money to doa workshop, course orretreat and gaining all sortsof wonderful revelations anddeep personal insights. Thisis often followed by an

enthusiastic pledge to adopt a new healthier lifestyle, beliefs orhabits. And then when we are back in the all-too familiar society rat-race of work, family, pressures and obligations – a week or two laterwe can find ourselves wondering what happened to the euphorialglow from the workshop and all the self promises to never go backto the way we were!

One of the biggest investments we can gift ourselves is claimingthe time we need to fully integrate a course, workshop or deepinsights that can further our growth long-term. Instead of rushingback to our familiar habits and environment – one which we mayhave just spent time learning to rise above and grow beyond – therecan be immense benefit in staying back a few days, in a peacefulspace, to fully review and integrate what we have just learnt – andin our own timing. As with going to school or a weekly Spiritualgroup – the real benefit, progress and depth comes in thehomework.

Being in a course or retreat is often a rarefied environment,surrounded by supportive like-minded souls and an energy spacethat is conducive to personal insight and revelation. Taking a fewdays of solitude after a personal growth event can allow time forthe euphoria to subside and some deeper insights and new habitpatterns to emerge and embody – and create more lasting change.On the first day after a retreat, it can be good practice to just relaxand allow the “Spiritual dust” that has been stirred up to settle.Healthy food, some gentle exercise, a walk on the beach –something that allows you to just feel without being in your head.

THE REVIEWWhen you feel drawn to, it can be good then to go back and reviewthe course or workshop you have just done. If you have taken notesthroughout the event or have supplied literature, read through it andwith a highlighter, mark any sections that have an energetic“charge” or some meaningful insight for you. It can help to use yoursensitivity or discernment to break the notes or insights down intomajor key points or sections – and number them. It is much easierto digest information when it is broken down into compact units thatcan be dealt with and re-visited one at a time.

Often going back through notes in a relaxed, unhurried way canlead to much deeper insights surfacing that are relevant to your ownlife situation. Often also, we will discover hidden gems of insightthat were missed in the hubbub of the course. Once you have thecourse or retreat reviewed into relevant segments, go back to thearea that you have the greatest energetic “charge” or evenresistance around – this is often the area we most need to look at.Take some time to meditate on it and come up with a workable

strategy of daily solutions and exercises to create the change youwant to happen. Do this for each of the key areas and order themin priority. For some, there may be a trap in trying to create toomuch life change all at once – it can become overwhelming, liketrying to adopt a whole new gym and body-building regime all inthe first week! If this is the case, it can be much more beneficial totake one area and practice that as a regular daily discipline for afull week, reviewing it each morning, noon and evening until itbecomes integrated and effective in your life. Then move onto thenext priority.

Taking the time to formulate a three-month plan for change beforegoing back to your environment, is often much easier than trying todo it once you get back to the distractions of daily life – and is away of giving yourself the maximum ongoing benefit from theinvestment in your course.

COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR ENVIRONMENTOften when we make deep personal change within ourselves,people in our environment feel a shift taking place – and sometimesit can cause insecurity in those around us, particularly those we areclose to or have some relationship dynamic with. Often the moreprotective we become of our new-found space and need forintegration or change, the more ripples it can create in ourenvironment if people feel a “disconnect”. While we can really onlytake responsibility for ourselves, being fully integrated beforereturning to our environment puts us in a much more groundedspace for communicating.

If people around us feel anxious to know what we learned on acourse, sometimes it can be good to take the responsibility tocommunicate with them – even if it is just to say we learned somegreat things that we are still integrating – and then turn theconversation back to them and how their weekend was. Gushingout everything we learned or experienced can diffuse and scatterour own energy – and in extreme cases can sometimes drawcynicism or criticism in return. Often better to wait until we are in arelaxed and fully integrated space before communicating any majorlife changes we need to make.

There is a beautiful saying: “We cannot truly be on the path of Spirit,until we become the path”. To me that can sometimes mean strikinga balance between honouring ourselves and our Spiritual growthfirst and foremost, and also learning to communicate to ourenvironment in a way that is also honouring. More than ever, thereis a Spiritual need for people who can ground wisdom and make itpractical. Having a lot of knowledge can make us “knowledgeable”,but maybe wisdom comes when we learn to implement it in our livesto better ourselves and in service to those around us. Sometimesthat can simply mean taking the time and commitment to ourselvesto fully integrate and embody what we are learning.

CLAIMING YOUR

SPACE FOR

REAL GROWTH

Sometimes the venom of thy snake

comes with feelings of unforeseen

break. I guess you only have to ask...

was it all worth it?

Be it in the realm of man, fae, or any other

for that matter; the lesson within judgment

can always be found – if one chooses to

look beyond the initial ruling.

I mean… judge thee harshly, and you may

well be judging yourself also. To make

strong judgment is to believe you know thee

– all of thee. My every story, my every hurt,

my every desire and thought of one’s self.

How be it that so many criticize, yet when it

comes to standing tall within another doing

just the same to you, thou cowers or seeks

revenge by biting back. However, how little

do thee really know? Just remember, all that

we perceive, all that we imagine to be; is it

not all somehow revealing something of the

one person you should really be concerned

with?

I sit in frozen disbelief at the volume of

unnecessary speech that pervades thy

world of man. So much destruction, so much

hurt, and much of this falling about… well

yes – greed, power, fear, doubt – but how

about some of it bound around what thou

believe another deems. For even when one

makes judgment upon another, is it not

understood that one is only finding a degree

of conviction upon their own self? Are thee

not only trying to find further justification or

reason as to why they feel what and how

they do about the person who reflects in the

mirror? Which essentially is echoed back

from all four of the words prior.

Think about it – how often have thee

misjudged? I won’t lie. I know I sure as the

sun rises have. This relates very much to the

most wicked of all judgment – self. Self-

judgment is a killer. Be we compare

ourselves, or mistakenly seize what another

voice. However, you do know that their

judgments can only affect you if you allow

them to affect you. Their ideas are not yours

to own. Their considered opinion is their own

reflection to look upon.

Then, with all ill thought must come the act

of forgiving; and in that statement lays

another difficult poison that infects so many.

Forgiveness. Now there be an expression

that many find hard to grasp whole.

In order to heal the venom coursing through

thou veins, you must for always forgive and

let go. Be it understood that you will never

forget times of damage and ache, for if you

did there would be nothing for you to forgive.

This applying not only to another, but more

importantly to oneself. It is that forgiveness

alone that will either hinder, or enable you to

move forward. Allow all self-judgment to

dissipate, and forgive all thy wound felt.

Remember... the only soul you are hurting

by holding onto the anger and resentment –

is you. But then, you’re already aware of

that, aren’t you, my divine soul?

Surround yourself with like-minded, believe

in the beauty that is you, and awaken every

morning in the certainty that you will make a

grand life out of all you have this day.

And for always hold close to your truth – that

you are a magnificent, pure soul who is

worthy of a life held in every heartfelt dream!

Hollandaise Sauce - This is the most

basic of the egg and oil emulsified

sauces. The only flavourings are fresh

lemon juice or tarragon vinegar. This

sauce must be kept warm, as

excessive heat will cause it to break.

of you writing a lot so I feel you will do

further study. I’m told you’ll be able to

condense 2 studies into one.

Q uestions

& AnswersAhh relationships – Sometimes you can’t live with them, sometimes

you can’t live without them! Once upon a time I threw a huge hissyfit to my guides. And I mean huge! I said “That’s it!! I will nolonger deal with human beings! I don’t want to communicateanymore! Put me on a mountain with the trees and animals,

and I will be happy!” Well, 2 days later I was introduced to a young couple who were in

desperate need of a place to stay. Guess who had a spare room? I let them move in, and over the following 2 weeks, this couple didabsolutely everything they possibly could to evoke communication from me! They stole money, slept together in my meditation room,

left their mess everywhere etc. It was a nightmare!

Then the realisation. I woke up in the wee hours one night and it struck me – I got it. Guides moved this couple in to force me to

communicate! Ha! I laughed my head off. We need relationships to expand ourselves. We need people in our lives, and even if they areupsetting or trying our patience, they are serving a divine purpose that is designed to help us understand ourselves and to grow and evolve. Make the most out of it, open up and look with fresh eyes at

what you are indeed learning from each other, and how therelationships in your life are serving you. How are you helping others around you grow? What are the hardest relationships in

your life and what understanding can you learn or receive?

I learned a few lessons that night…. Yes God truly does only ever send us angels, We do need people, Relationships in all their forms serve as tools for growth, Communication is necessary and lastly;

Never, I said NEVER throw a hissy fit to your Guides!!!! The next morning they were gone.


Hi Gaia

My question is about love and

relationships. What do you see in

store for me please?

Kylie S

Straight away I feel your throat chakra

blocked with an old communication issue

from a past relationship. I feel tears and

my eyes turn inward. I really feel you

blame yourself when things go pear

shaped and this has to stop! I just want

to cry and so my dear, perhaps it is time

to do just that. Feel deeply into what you

are so sad about, let it come to the

surface and then express it and be free

of it. You are a ‘Wylde Woman’! This is

an amazing archetype of the powerful,

wind blowing in hair, adventurous, strong

woman! The man for you is adventurous

too! You are not to be tamed. And he will

not try to smother you. I feel you need to

change the way you speak to your inner

self and stop putting yourself down or

belittling yourself. When you make your

life journey more about having fun &

enjoying the adventure, you will find a

true soul mate on your path. Guides say

“You won’t even have to go looking for

him”.

Hi Gaia

When and where will I find love?

Thankyou

Shirley P

When I look through your eyes it is the

searching that I am shown. I feel a wave

of cold (emptiness) come across my back

and left side. This relates to past and

current feelings of emptiness and a lack

of support & warmth from family, friends

and a lover. . There will be 2 or 3 nice

friendships over the next 3 years. I see

one person you will meet through

walking. Then I hear “mutual friend” and

feel this is how you will meet a special

partner. I hear the words ‘Dating sites’ but

that is part of the searching energy and

not the solution. Guides say “Searching

re-affirms what you are missing at the

moment”, but I feel you won’t want to

hear that. I am shown you turning your

focus in to yourself. Make your own

relationship with yourself warm and

giving.

HI Gaia,

My question, this is so hard lol, will I

find a job soon and will my husband

and I go overseas again?

Thank you so much, Dellie F

I feel there is a job calling for you! Are

you not wanting it?

Good news is on the way. You will also

hear of a pregnancy quite soon (not your

own). Over the next 7 months, you are

going to have your hands full and life will

certainly not be boring. Until the end of

this year, it is important for you not to

block out any information or ideas that

come to you. It’s ok not to take it on, nor

respond straight away, but just remain

open to receiving information. In order to

go on that trip of a lifetime you and your

husband will have to work together.

Changes are coming that will help you

both manifest more of what you want in

life a trip away will come sooner than you

think.

Hi Gaia

I have a friend Wayne who keeps

telling me stuff that he shouldn’t. I am

wondering if you could tell me a

reason he does this and does he want

to be more than friends?

Thankyou Lynda S

I agree this is a sticky situation and that

he is offloading to you. I feel he isn’t

aware of how heavy this is weighing on

your head and shoulders. One of your

Guides says “Tell him to stop it.” If he is

the one for you, he won’t be offended.

Hi Gaia

I feel stuck in a rut with love, work and

where I live. I would like to know what

changes lay ahead for me please?

Dohna A

I am first drawn to your left eye. It looks

like very old energy there – around 7

years old! The left eye relates to what

you look at, have seen or how you see in

relationships, family & spiritual growth. It

is time for you to step up and out of old

energy and gain a new view or

perspective on life. Activate the spiritual,

nurturing side of yourself. This will help

release that old stagnant energy and

therefore will help free up the right side

which is work, men and money. In your

future I see a small bout of minor illness,

followed by a trip out of town. News of a

baby (not yours) and an excellent reply

coming to you about a larger financial

matter. You are strong & determined. I

don’t see you moving away just yet as

there is unfinished business around you

involving a male. A great year ahead.

Place on lined baking sheet and

drizzle with olive oil and sea salt.

Massage with fingers until fully

coated. Roast for 30-40 minutes,

flipping once half way through. Keep

a careful eye on them after 25

minutes of cooking to ensure they

don’t burn. The goal here is crispy

and golden chickpeas, not black…lol.

Enjoy as a high protein snack or as a

side to a lunch or dinner.

*Note: I assume you could also use dry

chickpeas and cook them in vinegar from

scratch. Also note: When I brought the

cooked chickpeas to a boil, some of the

peas split open and some of the skins

came off. Not to worry if this happens-it

will turn out regardless!

LibraMoneyThe temptation to spend money on loved

ones and luxury items is very prominent

now. It is really hard for a Libra to just

window shop. But just remember

enjoyment can come in other ways than

spending. Focus on the future and what

lies ahead there are some big purchases

to be made soon.

Love

Life is always better when you are day

dreaming of a lush tropical island in the

sun with your love. For some of you this

could be a reality shortly as you plan your

next holiday. Singles time to plan for the

next adventure especially as holiday

romances can be fun.

DestinyLife is certainly full of surprises and now

is no exception. Make sure as your life

becomes busier you focus on health and

water is advised. You want to be able to

enjoy what is coming your way

ScorpioMoneyChanges to your income over the next

few months, some will change their job

and will be pursuing more money as well

as job satisfaction. Risk and reward time

now. Money will dominate the

conversation with most people. But good

time to improve the bottom line

personally.

LoveThe last couple of months have seen real

improvement with your relationship, with

the tricky issues resolved we are now

sailing into calmer waters and about time

hear you say. Mystery and intrigue are

always in vogue. For single’s you will be

more before settling for nothing less than

perfect.

DestinyExtra work and thinking that is going on

makes it the perfect time to spend time in

nature to help keep your mind clear and

you as sharp as a tack, by just going for

a walk will benefit your circulation and

improve posture. And the reward is great

inspiration with fitness.

in hand for you and no is no exception.

LoveRelationships are the trickiest of all

negotiations in life. So don’t forget to

listen to the other persons point of view

even if you don’t agree with their opinion,

sometimes by just listening we can learn

so much more about our partner. Singles

look in work places for romance over the

photocopier.

opportunities I feel you have neglected

yourself a little. So now is the time to start

a new exercise regime that will also

improve your emotional wellbeing and

and give you more leisure time.

Just think how much more knowledge

you can gather quicker. No brainer then.

LoveYou can be fickle when it comes to matter

of the heart, madly in love one minute

mixed bag of emotions. New

boundaries you set early.

adventure of lifetime as destiny kicks in

and shows you what is possible from

your daydreams can become reality.

Dream big and listen to your intuition as

there is message there for the future. Life

is very full and rewarding now.


Spring has sprung and the recent rains have sent

blossoms bursting forth from every bush and

shrub. What a marvel flowers are! They are

immeasurably beautiful, but there’s much more to them

than just their appearance. The scent of flowers can take

us straight back to childhood or to memories of a loved

one who we associate with one particular flower. The

scent of honeysuckle always takes me back to a cubby

house I had under a honeysuckle vine in our garden

when I was a child.

Flowers are such an amazing combination of delicacy,

grace and fertility that it’s no wonder they are thought of

as feminine – not as physically strong as the leaves,

though more beautiful and totally necessary for the

continuation of the species. We only have to see them

to feel that sense of rebirth that epitomises spring; to

glimpse the Goddess Ostara dancing among the fragrant

blooms, wafting her sensual fertility throughout the

garden.

An altar with flowers says spring, even if it’s only a small

bunch and the sight and scent of them can lighten a

gloomy mood, as the thought that such beauty came

from previously bare branches, gives us hope for the

future. Everything changes and even if your branches

are bare now, a profusion of beauty and abundance may

be just around the corner.

Spring blossoms are fleeting, but it’s that brevity of

existence that makes us value them so – if they were

there all year, we’d soon cease to notice them. So put

flowers on your altar, not just as decoration, though they

are certainly that, but also as a reminder to value all the

fleeting things we have in our lives, to glory in the sight

and sound and scent of them – in other words, ‘don’t

forget to stop and smell the roses’.

Blessed be, Morganna.

I will continue in this Edition of The Magic of

Language, with the importance being in stillness

over the Winter season was for the purposes of

creating more Knowing Realities. Its essence

was to weave a link to deeper understanding of

all we have learnt as the push for new life

begins to tempt us from every angle.

This is not to say we do not answer the call of

Spring, for we would be going against the very

life force of the Earth herself. It is more to

gather that deeper understanding, whilst in

stillness, and use it to create life differently for

us personally and collectively.

In other words instead of just blindly using this

piece to create that reality, because we want

this outcome; how about considering, from

that place of stillness, all aspects of that piece

and the reality we will create, with it, if we don’t

consider or know all of it. Mother Earth knows

this, we do not!

For too long humanity has been creating blindly,

not knowing, nor taking responsibility for the

realities we create, whilst misusing the tools

granted to us by God. More importantly do

those of us who have chosen to serve as

Spiritual messengers fully know and fully

understand all that has been entrusted to us by

the Ascended Masters.

The reason I ask is if we are not knowingly

using the tools, by applying all the Spiritual

Practices in the creation of our own realities,

then how can we guide or instruct others to

create their lives or realities differently?

From the perspective of language, the

messages of creation and how we use it are all

around us if we know where to look and are

willing to accept what we see as the truth. Do

we fully understand why others come and go in

our lives? Do we fully understand why we

chose to be born into a specific family? Do we

fully understand why we chose our date, time

and place of birth? Do we fully

understand the concept of the mirror image? Do

we know why we are attracted to this one or that

one? Do we fully understand desire,

neediness, loneliness, happiness, unconditional

love, poverty consciousness, expectation,

achievement, competition, success; the list is

endless. My point is all this is present as the

ingredients we use to create our realities.

The more we are willing to connect all the dots,

using our outer reality as the messenger, rather

than something to be afraid of, the more we

will get the keys to how life really works

because it is our hand creating it. Know the

ingredients and we will know ourselves!

As the Spring season urges us to dust off and

reawaken our creative life force, remember the

stillness and all that was given the space and

time to weave its magic of understanding, don’t

just blindly get on with it! Know what you have

been weaving, know the difference between the

old seeds and the new ones. They may look

the same, but the reality we create will be

different. Our choice, our reality!

Welcome to the Spring of Knowing Realities!

the Peace and wisdom gained through the

Passage of Life; “L” is for Living our hopes and

evocative artwork provides a focus for slipping

into meditation. Shirley can be reached at

“Lots of Socks”By Shirley Appleby

A delightful children’s story from Shirley Appleby

(that this grandma reviewer also very much

enjoyed reading). A cute and happy look at the

life of a child’s sock going from soccer practice

(ouch! That ball hurts!) to the clothesline with the

breeze and the birds singing, and back to the

quiet drawer that is home.

& CD Reviews

“You Should be with Mewhile I’m Walking by Myself”

Ranger Nick’s Camp Oven Recipes

Ranger Nick, well known all over the country

through his many appearances and cooking

demonstrations at festivals and expos, has now put

some of his favourite recipes into this book complete

with his trademark humour. (He includes a glossary

in case we miss that cackleberries are eggs). The

recipes are simple and fun to make and delicious –

and one can use a heavy duty cast iron fry pan with

lid if not on a camping trip. I highly recommend this

one for both great food and entertainment.

Visit Ranger Nick on his website

(www.rangernick.com.au) or check him out on

“The Warrior’s Guide to Gentleman’s Etiquette”

Mr. Cooper Ali-Shabazz

An interesting and different book by an equally

interesting man, who sets out the guidelines for a

man to be both a warrior and a gentleman in the

21st century. Mr. Ali-Shabazz operates his own self-

defense academy in Brisbane and has worked in the

security industry where he still is available for

consulting. This book, the first in a trilogy, discusses

a warrior gentleman’s relationships with women;

how to use appropriate self defense against

aggression from men (or women – his cast iron rule:

a man never strikes a woman; just walk away or if

necessary run!) A book that women will learn a lot

from and enjoy as well as men. Visit him at his

website, www.shabazz.com.au or reach him via

email at [email protected]: $24.95
