From Stress to Stillness: The Path to Inner and Outer Transformation
Dec 03, 2025
I want to share something with you from my heart. What I have come to learn over the years is that when we practice ancient traditions, we are tending to our own lives and all the lives we touch in ways we cannot fathom in this moment.
In a busy, result-driven world, we often look outside ourselves for change. There we also find the source of our worries and concerns, and what we believe are our desires. Yet wise ones of old have always known what science is learning to explain today: True change can only ever take place when it comes from within, and the world is far more mutable than it seems.
What we can discover, not just as a concept, but as an inner knowing we can actually work with—when we practice an ancient tradition such as the Mysteries of the Wild Nights, is that everything is always in process. The self we are today is not the self we are tomorrow, and often the self of ten years ago would find the self we are today a perfect stranger or a grand surprise.
This inner knowing, that change is possible within and without, is not unique to ancient tradition. It comes with the deep study and practice of sacred mysteries, witchcraft, divination, and magic.
I share this as a message of hope. For the world feels dire and scary, and so many of us are chronically stressed, in pain, and anxious. Change is possible. The peace we seek is not something we will find outside ourselves. It is to be discovered and tended to within. Only when we commit to this, together, will we experience peace in this world.
With love,
