Settle in with some tea and follow along to a reading od Alfred Lord Tennyson’s The Two Voices. A poem a bout a man who is feeling hopeless and considering ending his life and the dialog between the two voices in his head.
Author: Elizabeth Invictus
I have a BA with a Specialization in English Literature and Languages from Western University. I am a Level II Certified Reiki Practitioner and offer energy work and energy healing services in my home and online. I also offer Faeries' Oracle readings and Tarot, and provide holistic and metaphysical personal guidance.
I began writing short stories at 9 year and poetry at 11 thanks to the encouragement of my sixth-grade teacher. Her guidance taught me the importance of mentorship, and the value of helping others discover their own self-expression.
Over the years I have collected many experiences working various jobs from housekeeping and factory work to working as a travel consultant and walking and talking as a door-to-door marketer. Now a full-time student and single parent, I live with my beautiful daughter, my inspiration.
I love to read, and studying literature has given me the opportunity to study the record of human thought from mythology and the Pre-Socratics to the contemporary; a discourse that includes mathematical and scientific theory, psychology, philology, and psychoanalysis, linguistics, history, political and social theory among other things.
This all-round education reflects the kind of self-education I practice in my life outside of school.
My other passions include friendship, photography, yoga, drawing, painting, travelling, cooking, baking, crocheting and other creative/artistic endeavours.

Gwydion’s Crossing: Between Worlds Retreat
Otherworld Retreats offers shamanic-based immersive & sacred experiences
in the UK & Ireland.
Wander with us wild and free, and discover the mystic magick of the Cornish Coast. During this 8 day retreat over Autumn Equinox, we will travel between this world and the eternal world unseen.
Listen deep to the song of the ancient trees, the beat of the ocean banging the cliffsides, the wind howling down the forgotten paths, calling out the spirit we silence beneath.
Gwydion leads us beyond the threshold to worlds above, below and between. Experience the breadth and depth of the mind, body and spirit as we follow the ancient wisdom of the land. We share meals, dreams and visions as our feet trace the marks of this sacred ground. These lands inspired the visions of Arthur, Morgana Le Fay, the Lady of the Lake, Mordred, and Merlin, where once magick and the material lived side-by-side.

V&E Words: Empathy
What is Empathy? I explore the eymology, psychology, physiology and spirituality behind the concept in an attempt to answer this question. How do we feel the other? How do we know the difference between our feelings and the feelings of the other? The three major components of empathy seem to be: knowing, feeling and responding compassionately. We read books to gather knowledge of things we do not have the time or space to learn first hand. Tuning our empathy has the same effect but for emotions. We can connect with other humans and simulate experiences we have never had. In doing so we expand our awareness and are better able to live ethically and effectively with our fellow humans.
