Happy Yule!

That was awesome! ❤ Thank you for sharing all the beautiful Christmas lights ❤

All the lights are beautiful, thanks for taking us with you. We haven't drove to see lights in a long time, so fun!

Love this! ❤

This was excellent, yes patterns are so similar in many paths. Similar story themes. I find religious history fastening. Thank you Sonia!❤

🦇🦇❤❤❤ During the summer, when Bob and I sit outside for a campfire they are pretty active. I can hear wind chimes toooo….their squeaks and your chimes do sound nice 😊

Sonia this is beautiful ❤ so homey and comforting!

Bob and I were just talking about the light and our sleep habits. We've been walking around with little nightlights on at night😂 I think we're sleeping better. Its good for our brains to see all 3 stages on light in a day. Im still working out noontime light because I'm in a school all day.😂 Such great information! I love your research videos, thank you ❤

This felt, and sounded, very peaceful:)

Goodness, Sonia, don't go into the attic without a good light and a hepa mask. Bats carry rabies & also parasites in their guano. 😮 Amazing they can slip through that little crack. I hope they are keeping the mosquitos at bay. (But really, set up bat houses, and try to get them moved out of your attic, for health and safety reasons.) I like bats! ❤

Sonia, I love your channel and how you approach issues. So much wisdom. ❤ My experience of Wicca was too similar to my Catholic experience. I also lean heavily towards atheism so the rules and morality codes rub me wrong. I still found positives in my learning and exposure to Wicca. I’m a firm believer that it’s important to explore many traditions.

Yes, yes yes! This is so interesting and I appreciate this very very much. I think you are 200% right. At least this resonates very very much. I love that you share such thought-provoking stuff. I’m gonna have to share this one too. Thank you, Sonia for everything you do. ❤❤❤

This year I decided to embrace the darkness, rather than fight it. It's going really well. 😊✌️❤️

Religion is the opiate of the people. Look whats happening around you due to blind faith / cultism.

So cozy! I especially love your cross-stitch pillow.😊

This is beautiful ❤ So true!

This was FABULOUS! I would hope that more than not are syncrenists.❤❤❤ I'm not sure how old Omnism is, but, I feel Manly P Hall and Blatvansky would have claimed it ❤ It recognizes that there is truth in every religion or belief but not ONE is the truth. I found the term a couple years ago and it resonated greatly. But, there is no doubt, I am a syncretist 💯! I love everything you said❤❤❤ absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing this Sonia ❤❤❤

Very thoughtful and pretty Sonia! =)

Your altar looks awesome. Very fresh and I bet it smells good. ❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing 😊

Your altar looks amazing! Thise pine cones with tea lights are so cool. Thank you for sharing. ❤

Very nice and cozy looking

The only thing I can comment is from my own experience, so not scientific in any way. When one is hungry - I mean hungry as in they don't know where the next meal is coming from (true hunger), there isn't much learning or spiritual working being done. An empty stomach is painful, and it's hard to think. Also, if one has no where safe to lay their head, the same. So yes, I believe Maslow's theory is correct as far as BASIC needs.

You hit the jackpot. I love, love, LOVE your finds! ❤

KZbin ate my other comment...geez. Awesome Haul! 💖

You got an excellent price for the Sun Goddess and the Amethyst Geode! Super cool finds! 💖

Very well done ❤ thank you for sharing ❤

I love that pendant. Thanks for sharing!

Good job Sonia =)

I think about death a lot as I have gotten older, because I am closer to it. I try really hard to live my life to it's fullest. The pendent is a sweet reminder to do that.

Oh, wow, that is amazing. ❤ Thank you.

I love that little froggie!!! You did wonderful!

That is so beautiful! Death is inevitable yes. ❤ Thank you for sharing

I think that Maslow's hierarchy is not as important as we think. It feels classist or old fashioned in some ways. Sexual reproduction is not a biological needed to be put so low on the pyramid, but it can be a social need. Not everyone has access to consistent food security but they will have community at church or whatever. They rationalize their lack of food under the lens of God's will or a struggle. They find spiritual fulfilment within the confines of their environment.

I love this kind of video. I love this topic so much. I'm not sure what I think about this. I do think perhaps to grow as a person we need to have our early years needs being met, but I also think the more spiritual we become if some of those needs are no longer being met, it could actually make us more self aware and spiritual, if you know what I mean. I don't think there is ever one simple answer for these types of topics because we have so many different people and personalities and cultures and environments in our world. Great topic and video. Thank you for sharing sweet lady. BTW I love your T-shirt! 😍😍😍

This is an excellent conversation in my opinion. I have heard his name in passing from my daughter who is a psychology major but I've not done any studies myself. I'm definitely gonna ask her what she thinks though l o l. I am a child care giver so I have had classes on child psychology. In conscious discipline we learn that if the child is threatened or feels unsafe, it is hard to teach that particular child. They are usually in a state of fight or flight. And it can be the same for adults with severe unhealed childhood trauma. So, in that aspect, I agree that those basic needs may need to be met, depending upon our perception of what makes us feel safe, before we become progressive in our spirituality. Excellent video Sonia! Thank you so much for sharing this. ❤❤❤

I have never heard of this. How interesting. I do think basic needs need met in order to have enough safety to pursue more in life. If someone is constantly not having basic needs met they can't focus on "higher needs" I don't mean they can't seek out spiritual growth, but it will be a great deal harder to accomplish and will come at a much slower rate. I'm currently reading "the power of now" by Eckhart Tolle Thank you for sharing this.

She is beautiful ❤ and congratulations Sonia 😊❤

So cute, congratulations! 🎉❤

Yea! 🎉 Im glad you love her. Summer is so talented! Congratulations 🎊

Congrats on that win! I have a couple goddesses from her and they are so awesome! I love yours. 😍

Yay! Im so glad your goddess made it safely to you! Thank you for your kind words ❤

OMG she is so talented, but I do believe Summer is part fairy and that is why she can create such perfect little fairies. LOL I love her and this is such a sweet piece.

They all look really good Sonia...good growing!

=)... Yay! I wish them good luck!

Glad to hear you have a shop near you!.... Very exciting, I know, because I found one near to me, and I love it! However, I do keep wishing the owner well, as her business did suffer thanks to the year of 2020. She hangs in there though, and I do what I can afford to help support her...... Anyways, love the new oracle deck you got, and I may keep an eye open for that one! -tina

Won't they freeze? 😮 or do you bring them in?

I shuffle like that too:)

Omgosh! I was trying to do this. Had trouble finding resources. ❤

I don't know how I missed this! I'm STILL catching up on videos for the tag! Such a cute craft, lovely oil blend! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the information ❤
