I’m a writer, pagan, shaman and contentious objector.

This is my spiritual journey blog. I am trying to learn from my experiences to expand my consciousness, embrace energy and stay rooted in the Earth. Only our own experience can illuminate, protect, and initiate us.

Sitting in the South comes from the pagan elemental system of cardinal points (North, South, East and West) as means of framing spiritual vibrations. South represents fire, protection, strength, trust and spirits, but it also is the place of self. To be sitting in the South is to be resting in the Self, the place from which to approach a spiritual journey.

    You have a lovely blog. Thank you for creating it.

    You write that ’sitting in the south’ means ‘resting in the self.’

    But what if the buddha-dharma is correct and there is no self? Will you be resting in a delusion?

    Thank you

    I only know that there is a part of the Universe that I and others view in a way that creates me and that’s what I have to work with.
