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…

Letters from luna: A word on the wyrd
Posted on January 18, 2021by Rohini Walker A gentle summation of the year 2020, and – in here the U.S. – these first weeks of 2021, would be highly, deeply weird. We’re living in strange times. Yet, for those of us who have been paying attention for preceding years, decades even, and who recognize the cyclical, ever-in-flux nature of the universe, this weird, troubling moment in humanity’s story is unavoidably necessary. Radical change needs powerful pattern interrupts. It needs the seething underbelly of a…

Letters from Luna: Meaning as Quintessence
Posted on September 26, 2020Scroll down for an audio version of thisinstallment of Letters from Luna. by Rohini Walker What does meaning mean to you? As I write this, I observe the various objects on my desk and environs. Things that I have chosen and placed around me for more than their externality; things that, when touched or looked at, evoke a certain feeling or memory, called forth from within the object I am wordlessly communing with. Here’s an incomplete inventory: a small jade…

Letters from Luna: The Migration of Memory, Part I
Posted on August 28, 2020Scroll down for an audio version of thisinstallment of Letters from Luna. by Rohini Walker There is a vision that lives in me from childhood, a tiny island amongst the larger land masses of time and memory. It persists, vivid and fleeting, mysteriously relevant. I know it wasn’t a dream, in the conventional sense of the word at any rate.

Letters from Luna: Of Imagination, Dreams + Reality
Posted on April 9, 2020by Rohini Walker / Illustration by Martín Mancha I’ve been playing a game with myself for the last couple of months. It revealed itself to me seemingly spontaneously, while out on a hike in the desert one morning with my beloved familiar, the black pitbull, Bodhi. A voice, the one I have come to call Lila, murmured: “I wonder what it would be like to imagine if I was awake in this strange dream of life?” And with that, my curiosity was…
