Where the forests are alive, and the Kingdoms are awakening
You Do Not Have To Be Good – May 2021
I was at home one evening when I felt this random urge – to record a little snippet from one of my early pieces of writing over this particularly witchy piece of music I was listening to at the time.
One of the biggest misconceptions I’d always had about the concept of spirituality was this needing to ‘have to be good’.
However, upon my reintroduction to plant medicine three years ago, I was shown quite clearly that this was not the case; that, on the contrary, all our power is in our darkness; that we do not have to pretend, or to hide great swathes of our being to be worthy… and that – much to my excitement – I was on this path because of who I was … not despite it.
I hope you enjoy this… Let me know what you think!
About the author - meet Diana Shamanic
Just over ten years ago, Diana Shamanic (aka Karen Farini) left her London life (as co-founder and owner of burlesque supper club Volupté) to go tripping 'round Asia. Here, she would ultimately wind up escaping yet another brush with muggle existence, after a 3-year stint running a same-but-different business (this time a backpacking hostel on the island of Koh Phangan in Thailand). By 2018, though... Well, let's just say her inner world had started to shift quite dramatically.... After various stints in Bali, Israel and the jungles of Peru, she's back again living on this magical crystal island, where she's just about to open 'Pandora's Box', offering psychic astrology readings and shamanic journeying into the body and beyond.
