Trusting that the entry into winter (the season of retreating into a bowl of nourishing, hearty soup!) here in the northern hemisphere is going peacefully for you. It seems that many of the conversations I’ve been a part of recently have been expressing a desire to go slow, to not get swept away by the toxic GMO of relentless doing which is at odds with the organic slowness + stillness of the season. For my part, I’ve been enjoying the…

Letters from Luna: On Animism + Anthropomorphism
Posted on May 9, 2022by Rohini Walker Since the desert took me in almost a decade ago, I’ve been shedding layer after layer of ill-fitting beliefs lurking within me that were not of my conscious choosing; distorted value systems and their attendant powers to make meaning and create realities instilled in me by family, culture and society, who for the most part did not consciously choose these for themselves either. Over the past couple of years, this shedding of decrepit old inner operating systems, and…
by Rohini Walker The days of dwindling light are officially upon us here in the northern hemisphere. I write to you from a gusty Mojave high desert, where the cooling temperatures are greedily welcomed after another merciless and revelatory summer. We have just exited the season of the ancient Egyptian goddess, Ma’at – symbolized by the scales of Libra, the constellation in which the sun was recently in residence – and are well on our way towards the renewal of death, the…

Letters from Luna – The Migration of Memory, Part II
Posted on March 23, 2021by Rohini Walker Click here The Migration of Memory, Part I It’s the in-between time here in the Mojave high desert, as winter shapeshifts into spring. Calm, sunny days are peppered with winds so wild, it’s a wonder the house doesn’t end up in some other, other-worldly faraway. On days like this from my remote spot, the wide vistas swirl with haboob-like dust devils, and eyes smart and sting if you have to venture outdoors for some outlandish reason. Today is one of…

Letters from Luna – The Daemon’s Vision: Continued Excursions into Soul-Making
Posted on February 1, 2021by Rohini Walker In a previous installment of Letters from Luna, we began some initial explorations into the nature of the soul – what Mary Oliver described as the ‘Third Self’, and James Hillman, borrowing from the ancient Greeks, called the ‘daimon’ or ‘daemon.’ This is – for me and for countless others who place inestimable worth on a commitment of intimacy with what is mysterious, ever-changing, and vastly precious within us – a tireless topic. It is to live within a state of gossamer…
