Thanks to those of you who have written me personally to say how challenging this request is. I get it! It took me years to confidently tell the world that I experience magic.
If you’re willing—it doesn’t have to be perfect, well-written, or anything else. Just share what you feel. 💜
Hello everyone. My name is Pam and I’m 85 years old. I’ve been spending some time looking at the patterns in my life that brought me to the place I am today. I certainly had a wonderful magical, childhood and adolescence as we spent every summer in the woods at Lake Tahoe, Nevada. I slept outside under magical trees and swim in clear blue water every day. Deer came to feast every day, and my father had a magical chipmunk eat out of his hand every morning. So in many ways, I didn’t know anything but magic. Nights were spent around a campfire on the beach with many playing, guitars and singing. I didn’t really wake up to the magic, and took it a little for granted until my 30s and 40s when my yearning for travel took over. I traveled the world and found magic in other cultures and begin work with many teachers. I am so grateful to Allysha for The Heretic and love being connected to other people who follow their magic.
Wow, Pam! I've got Godde-bumps reading this! You really transmit the magic of the forests and creatures of your childhood. Amazing to hear that you've followed that thread through your life. Welcome to the community--we're so glad to have you here! 💜 🤗
I am Megan Gilbertson, an explorer both of the world and my own backyard. Explorer of the internal physical, spiritual and magical worlds. Yes, the internal ones scare me and I completely admit to avoiding / downplaying them at times but they move me to tears, connect me with everything and everyone, tell me things / open my eyes to a world that my physical being can't understand in the same way. It's the current flowing beneath the ice, the wind blowing the trees and wearing down the mountains, it's the love and warmth that you can feel from afar and the voice that says "this one" or "this way" that holds no "rhyme or reason" in the physical realm. It's a voice that we've been taught to mistrust and downplay because we can't explain or quantify it.... it's scope and reach is too vast ..... it's not our limitations that scare us.... but our limitlessness, our endless potential..... that's where spirit and magic live within us all. In that forbidden small place that's growing vast and strong with each connection to another magical being that acknowledges and encourages their vastness and our connectedness beyond reason or explanations. That is why I'm here; to keep that "knowing" alive and expansive. To break "rules" that were made by others to keep this power small and make it wrong. I'm here to show our similarities and love our differences - this is my magic, and my truth. Also one day, to lead trips with my fellow magic women for other women to connect on a deeper level and create soul sisters for life.
Yes, Megan! Ooh, I can feel the flow of Spirit and magic in your world. Thanks for presencing that limitless "internal" world for all of us 💜 So glad to have you here!
I was raised in a conservative, Catholic family. Our family attended Mass every Sunday; our entire lives centred around the church. We would often attend gatherings at the rectory, and was taught by nuns .
As much as I firmly believed what was being taught about the Divine, sitting in the church pew at Mass, my mind would wander.it seemed like there were pieces missing in the gospels and sermons, and I had many questions that seemed unanswered.
I tried ho quench my curiosity reading as many books as possible about nature , and the wonderful animals and plants on Mother Earth.
Any interest in pursuing knowledge and feeling any magic around me fell to the wayside raising 3 children and working full time. There was only a flicker of light within me during those years.
Fast forward to 2005, I broke my right foot , forcing me to be off work for 2 months.
It was then I spotted the book The DaVinci Code on the store shelf. This book led me to read Holy Blood, Holy Grail, of which Sir Henry Lincoln was an author. My mind was reeling with the possibilities given , causing me to delve deeper into books on anything related to the esoterical.
I wanted to feel and see the landscape around Rennes le Chateau , and went there in 2007.
Sir Henry was there, eager to share information about what he had discovered about this sacred landscape.
This was the turning point in my life - wanting to feel the magic within myself, wanting to know how it is available to anyone who is willing to accept it as part of their being.
Sir Henry felt Alyssha was the One to carry on and share his knowledge - this is why I am here, to accept the wisdom and teachings she has to offer.
Beautiful, Danielle! I'm so glad you got to meet Sir Henry and hear his stories firsthand. That was a big turning point for me too!!! Loving the courageous exploration into your own magic--isn't it funny how we dance around it for years, knowing there's something deeper just out of reach... and then one day, Everything changes... 💫
I’m David, from Newcastle, Australia (about 1.5hrs north of Sydney). I am really excited to be part of this circle with you all.
My journey of awakening and initiation into the enlightened magical realm started about 15 years ago, around 2007. As they say, “the way to a mans heart is through his stomach” and that’s funnily enough how my heart became drawn and captured by “The Zone.” What initially drew me to France and particularly to the Southwest of France was the British TV celebrity chef, Rick Stein and his TV series “French Odyssey,” in which he travelled from Bordeaux to Marseille along the Canal Du Midi in an old barge, savouring the sights and tastes of this beautiful part of the world. Watching this series over and over again where he visited places such as Toulouse, Carcassonne and Narbonne I developed an obsession, to travel to the area, to eat and drink my way around Occitanie, which came to fruition when my wife and I spent 10 days based in a Gite, driving around Occitania in 2010. What was incredibly prophetic during this period in my life were two things. One, was having my imagination captured by the, all but very brief, tale of the Cathars shared during one of Rick Steins episodes and two, during this first trip to Occitania having our “by chance” drive past the Pog of Montségur which as you would suspect completely captured my attention and sowed a seed for what was to come over the next phase of my life.
My discovery of “truth” started like you Danielle, when I read the DaVinci Code when it came out all those years ago. The possibility that there was an alternate truth to what the church had taught to me during my upbringing made more sense than what I was led to believe during the religious classes at school and the way the scriptures were discussed in church. In the 10 years that followed that first trip to France I became what I termed a “truth seeker”. During this period of my life, key moments of clarity have past by, particularly, when I read Kate Moss’s book “The Labyrinth”, followed by discovering Sir Henry Lincoln’s knowledge and wisdom on Rennes-le-Chateau & Mary Magdalene. I was then enlightened by Tim Wallace-Murphy’s concise explanation of history between now and biblical times which validated and expanded on what I had tangibly felt in my born-again-Christian days of my late teens and early twenties. This chronological overview “gave me permission” to alter my beliefs and my understanding of spirituality linked to a version of true history that “felt” correct. What was most important though, was spending time with our guide in “The Zone” over two trips to France in 2015 and 2017, where she brought to life the layers of history that you can feel by being present in places that have deep links to the past and the esoteric knowledge past through the generations in “The Zone”.
What truly is amazing is what has happened to my wife and I over then past 5 years from about 2017. We have gone beyond being merely truth seekers to being on a spiritually awaked journey, that to pinch your word Allysha, can only be described as “magical”, to say the least. We have shared Incredible moments of experiencing energy, power and miracles that defy explanation and can not be denied. This combined with the “ah ha” moments of linking history, logic and truth have given us an incredibly awakened spirituality that we are only just beginning to scratch the surface of, and surrendering to, this new way of “seeing” and “flowing” through life. One of the highlights of this period in our lives has definitely been when we both opened the pages of The Heretic and we were able to have those feelings and experiences validated by another person. I have since gone on to have my own spiritual pilgrimage to “The Zone”, in the January just past, to have my own incredible Heretic experience that again can only be described as magical.
Allysha, thank you for creating this space and bringing us all together. I am so excited to be a part of this amazing circle and to be able to openly discuss, learn from, share with and grow with each other, to allow us to further cross over into the magical realm with our common thread spun through The Heretic and everything that spins from the truth spoken within it’s pages. I can’t wait to see how this space evolves!
What an incredible journey you've been on these past few years, David! And what a blessing that you and your wife can share in it together. I really love the way you were drawn to France without understanding the true depth of what was calling you. I, myself, studied abroad in France long before I ever suspected what She had in store for me! I totally get it... those gastronomical barges through Occitania are amazing 🤩 It really sounds like you've trusted your intuition every step of the way and that has made all the difference. 💜
