 Isis is twelve years old and arrived from South Wales on a train to London in someone`s pocket as a tiny little bundle. She is a right little `madam` and "talks" all the time! Her middle or other name is Rhan which in Welsh means `fate` which was given to her on St. David`s Day - March 1st. This is the National Holiday of Wales. |
 Merlin is a local boy from NW London and a very quiet and kind cat. He is always willing to play if Isis is in the mood which isn`t always the case and he is 9 years old. Merlin`s other or middle name is Oswin which means "God-friend" an Anglo-Saxon name composed of Old English elements.  |
The Celts were convinced that all things in Nature are connected and interdependent; the plants, the animals, the earth and its forces, and themselves. It is an interesting paradox that, to an extent, the more ‘civilized’ a society becomes the worse is its attitude to animals.
Now more and more of us are awakening again to the idea that our bodies, minds, and spirits are one; this is also a principal theme of alternative and vibrational healing. In the same sense the physical world merges with a world of spirit, one whose powers and gifts are available to us once we open ourselves to it.
One way to make the world of
spirit part of our normal life reality is to create and deepen our
connection to animals. Animals can bring us messages from the spiritual
plane and can guide us during our explorations in that dimension, and
simply to open ourselves to the energies of these other beings expands
the dimensions of our consciousness where we can learn and grow.
As well as through a recognition of the essential aliveness of nature,
not just in a spiritual and biological sense but as a community of
sentient entities that can be explained in social, emotional or
psychological terms too.
