According to Gill Edwards: “The new spirituality suggests that we grow through love, joy, abundance and laughter. We can grow by learning how to consciously create our own reality.

The above quotation felt like truth to me during the three weeks or so that I didn’t get any upsetting texts from our daughter working in London.

It was such a melodramatic approach. Hours before I was assured our daughter was all right. Her reply to my text was neutral, bland actually. Then much later she texted me that she has had fever for the past two days and was suffering from a sore throat.

My “I can handle anything” self was instantaneously transformed into a panicky old hag. Luckily Emil was at home so I couldn’t behave like a crazy mother. But I managed to do a witchy trick – I wrapped the neck of the statue of St. Calungsod with an ionized armlet I have been using for my aches and pains.

Then I turned to my research about te laws of te universe. I chose the law of contagion which states that the objects in physical connection remain so after separation. Well, my daughter and I have been and still are. I drew consolation from Laura Bushnell’s : “…your magical self, that part of you that knows truth, has faith in miracles and cn lead you to the lif you’ve dreamed of living.”
