Sugar Skull Goddess - self portrait With the light always comes the dark. She lives in the deepest of places, but she is not a dark entity she is not death but a representation of the ultimate manifestation of the self.

A de-LIGHT full sense of wonder and magick is necessary when engaging in this most sacred of rituals. Like many rituals it is one that we share with our animal kin. In child hood all beings play and in fact all beings SHOULD play. It is one of the most important activity’s that we can engage in strengthening the mind, the body and the heart.
