The rosary has one BIG problem…
The rosary has a problem. A big problem. It’s the number one issue holding people back from picking up a rosary and trying it on for size. The problem is the opening prayer.

Mystical awareness comes in pieces. In the moment, you might think you understand what is happening, but in truth, you don’t.

Read MoreThe radical prayer of the goddess hidden in the rosary
Two years ago this month, I was awakened in that precious 3-4 am “hour of god,” which I now call the “hour of the goddess.” I wasn’t concerned. I’m so accustomed to being awakened in the wee hours that I sleep with paper at hand. In the dark, I have heard and scribbled down newsletter…
