The masculine energy was so powerful in my house today that I had to go outside just to stop bumping into it.

Marriage, like any relationship, requires a constant balancing act between two distinctly individual energy fields.  Some days these fields overlap and coexist in complete harmony.  Other days, well, it can feel a bit crowded and unbalanced.  It’s days like these I will make a conscious effort to reposition myself before the opposing fronts collide in a violent manner.

It took me a long time to be familiar with my own ‘atmosphere’.  Since I was never a fan of the half-assed approach to knowing thy self, I’ve spent a good deal of time discovering the multifaceted circuitry that comprises my energy flow.  I only experience misery and discontent when I allow the circuitry of another being to negatively interfere with the flow of mine. My beloved husband, Mr. Durwood Bean, is simply wired differently than I am.  Most days we create a well-blended current.  On some days we produce an unpleasant and adverse electrical output.  When I smell smoke, I know it’s time to physically move away from him before someone gets hurt.

One of the most attractive features of the art and science of witchcraft is that unlike most mainstream practices, the feminine energy of intuition and emotion are given as much validity as the masculine energy of logic and thought.  Individual personality traits aside, I’ve found that John Gray’s book “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” is one of the most useful resources for understanding the distinctions between me and Mr. Bean.  I recommend it as a handy reference for anyone interested in the process of mapping out the circuitry of their own individual energy field.  Since reading it for the first time almost 15 years ago, I appreciate John Gray’s accurate descriptions of the natural feminine and masculine traits we project in relation to each other.  Although I’m quite certain that Mr. Bean has never read the book himself, I do know that he has been benefiting from its wisdom:)

Thanks to Dr. John Gray, I won’t be hitting Durwood over the head with a shovel tonight…..though he will be receiving a rather lengthy message from Venus over coffee tomorrow morning.
