Elizabeth Prettejohn - the woman who lived alone in an abandoned Devon village for 47 years

She led an incredible existence in the ruins of the village, living off her chickens and whatever the sea could provide

Feel Me now as Mother of Air.

Mine are the limitless skies and endless stars.

I am bird woman.

I lift your imagination and carry it on soft,

feathered currents to otherworlds.

I am bone woman.

I am the stillness between death and rebirth.

I am the stillness between breathing out and breathing in.

Rest in that pause.

Feel My presence

I am peace.

A new book by Brian Clark - coming 2021!

Can't wait for this to be published! Still reeling from the last one 'Soul, Symbol and Imagination'.

From Brian's (astrosynthesis.com.au) monthly newsletter:


 

 A New Book By Brian

 

A new book by Brian Clark 
Due in 2021


ASTROLOGICAL TIME
Seasons of the Soul


The study of planetary cycles immerses us in the question and mystery of time. A horoscope ensouls time -  inviting us to imagine and animate it with the spirit of each moment.
 

 

While astrological timing may be complex and multi-dimensional, with practice we can learn to read and discern its archetypal images to give meaning to life experiences and events. Astrological Time: Seasons of the Soul is a guidebook exploring planetary cycles and the mysteries of time. 

The cover copies the 16th C fresco by Francesco de' Rossi ‘Time as Prudence seizes Occasion by the hair’ capturing the relationship of mortal and divine time (Chronus and Kairos) embodied by Prudence and Opportunity.

The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.
