The new episode of the Antlered Path is now available to stream.
'The Gifts of Mystery'.
It has been a long time since the previous episode! I had planned to share this ep in late October. But here we are now and it feels good to be back.
The Gifts of Mystery is my take on a few insights linked to the notion of mystery in the spiritual context.
Mystery can be a motivating force for us to seek more from life, from Nature and act as a creative muse too. I share about the connections between curiosity and mystery - because in order to explore aspects of something that feels mysterious one needs curiosity! And an open mind/heart.
Sometimes we will not find resolution or answers, the mystery can remain such for eternity. But when we activate ourselves to embark on a quest, however small, it is a wonderful thing and can lead to such inspiration and feelings of accomplishment.
A sense of mystery is something that helps us to manage our mundane lives.
The motivation for this episode came from a little quest I was on last Autumn, when I was researching the Dorset Ooser, a mysterious horned man mask that used to ‘reside’ in a nearby village. What happened to it, is a mystery. It is this mysterious element to it’s story that absolutely compels me and sets me off on some walks and explorations around the area, making connections and looking beyond the here and now.
