The cycles of the sun and moon continue, as always, and yet we often feel disconnected from them. We strain to hear birdsong, we are blinded to the budding of leaves. Can we be too busy and far removed from our natural environment to be pagan? Can it be too hectic, too technical, to ever find a spiritual touchstone? Or can we can find five minutes in the morning and another five minutes at night to light a candle, focus on a grounding thought, and sense the timeless rhythms that surround us?

The law of attraction is based on the idea that everything in the universe has a polarity, meaning that everything - from the food you eat to the people you talk to to the things you say to the things you think - contains either a positive or a negative kind of energy.

Knowing this allows you to observe what your inner voice is doing and thinking.

In a society that constantly represses your feminine energy, your purest part, the only thing left to do is to develop and protect it. Within you lies a strength you can't even imagine, dormant for too long, a flame that in these times is fading more and more. To conform to the masses, to strip away what makes you special: Your feminine energy.
