The spirit, which we share, is a sacred blue torch, burning and devouring the dry plants, And growing with the storm and illuminating the faces of the goddesses.
Secrets of the Heart
Kahlil Gibran
I am no drunkard, but I am no saint either. A medicine man shouldn’t be a saint. He should experience and feel all the ups and downs, the despair and the joy, the magic and the reality, the courage and fear of his people. He should be able to sink as low as a bug or soar like an eagle. You have to be God and the devil, both of them. Being a good medicine man means being right in the midst of the turmoil, not shielding yourself from it. It means experiencing life in all its phases. It means not being afraid of cutting up and playing the fool now and then. That’s sacred too.
Psychomagic
Alejandro Jodorowsky
You do not exist outside of your psyche’s being, but within it. Some of you may have just put children to bed as you read these lines. Some of you may be sitting at a table. Some of you may have just gone to the bathroom. These mundane activities may seem quite divorced from what I am telling you, yet in each simple gesture, and in the most necessary of physical acts, there is the great magical unknowing elegance in which you reside — and in the most ordinary of your motions, there are clues and hints as to the nature of the psyche and its human expression.
