What I Really Want… and You May Too!

I Was Born for the New Earth!

What I really want isn’t complicated, yet it encompasses everything. It’s both deeply personal and universally resonant—which is why, as I share these longings, you might find yourself nodding in recognition.

Connection to the Sacred Web of Life

What I really want is to wake each morning feeling the pulse of the living earth beneath my feet. To step outside and breathe air that carries the whispers of trees and the songs of birds. To know that my actions honor rather than harm the intricate web of life that sustains us all.

I want to live in a world where we’ve remembered our place as caretakers rather than conquerors.

• Where forests are expanding rather than contracting
• Where rivers run clear
• Where the night sky remains visible through clean air
• Where pollinators thrive among abundant wildflowers.

This isn’t just environmental idealism—it’s practical survival wisdom. The truth we’ve always known but somehow forgot: we are nature.

There is no separation. The health of our watersheds is the health of our bodies. The diversity of our ecosystems is the resilience of our communities. The ancient rhythms of seasonal cycles are echoed in our own need for balance between activity and rest.

What I really want is for us to stop treating nature as a resource to be extracted and start recognizing it as the sacred context of our existence. I believe you might want this too—that somewhere beneath the conditioning of modern life, you feel that primal connection to the more-than-human world calling you home.

Compassion for All Beings

I really want to live in a world where the natural empathy children feel for animals is nurtured rather than numbed. Where we recognize the sentience, intelligence, and emotional lives of our fellow creatures and honor their right to flourish according to their nature.

I want systems that prioritize compassion over convenience, that acknowledge the moral cost of causing unnecessary suffering.

I envision communities where animal welfare isn’t radical but baseline—where we’ve evolved beyond practices that commodify living beings and instead embrace our role as stewards of interspecies harmony.

This isn’t sentimental; it’s ethical evolution. Our capacity for compassion is one of our most remarkable traits as humans. When we suppress it toward certain beings because acknowledging their suffering would inconvenience us, we diminish something essential in ourselves.

What I really want is for us to expand our circle of moral consideration to include all sentient beings. I suspect you might want this too—and when you witness an animal’s joy, pain, playfulness, or fear, you recognize a consciousness not so different from your own.

Magic as Intentional Co-creation

I really want to reclaim the ancient wisdom traditions that understood the co-creative nature of reality. To practice Celtic magic not as supernatural manipulation but as skilled alignment with the energetic currents that flow through all things.

The Celtic seers knew what quantum physics now confirms—consciousness shapes reality. When I speak of magic, I mean the art of intentional co-creation with the universe. The practice of moving through the world with awareness of how our thoughts, emotions, and actions ripple outward, affecting the whole in ways both subtle and profound.

I want a world where we’ve outgrown the false dichotomy between the mystical and the practical, where we recognize that imagination precedes manifestation, where we wield our personal power with wisdom and responsibility.

This isn’t escapism; it’s engagement at the deepest level. True magic requires presence, discernment, and commitment to growth. It asks us to face our shadows as well as cultivate our light, to take responsibility for the energy we bring into every situation.

What I really want is for us to reclaim our birthright as conscious creators rather than passive consumers. I believe you might want this too—that you’ve had experiences of synchronicity, intuition, or manifestation that hint at realms of possibility beyond the materialist worldview.

Personal Sovereignty and Collective Flourishing

I really want to continue discovering and expressing the fullness of who I am, while creating conditions for others to do the same.

To embody the understanding that personal power isn’t about dominance but authenticity—the courage to live from one’s truth and unique gifts.

I envision communities where each person’s sovereignty is respected and their contributions valued. Where we recognize that true empowerment isn’t a zero-sum game—your light doesn’t diminish mine; together we illuminate more of the whole.

This requires vulnerability and courage. It means letting go of limiting beliefs, healing old wounds, and challenging the stories that keep us small.

It means embracing both our divinity and our humanity, our wisdom and our woundedness, our power and our humility.

What I really want is to live in a culture that nurtures wholeness rather than fragmentation, that values depth over distraction, that measures success by fulfillment rather than acquisition. I suspect you might want this too—that beneath the achievements that look good on paper, what you truly desire is to feel fully alive and expressed.

The New Earth: Beyond Division and Scarcity

What I really want is to participate in the birth of what many are calling the New Earth—an era characterized by cooperation rather than competition, abundance consciousness rather than scarcity thinking, unity in diversity rather than polarization.

I see the current crises we face as birth pangs of this new paradigm. The breaking down of unsustainable systems makes way for more life-affirming ones. The intensification of division ultimately serves to reveal our fundamental interconnectedness.

This transition requires us to question assumptions so fundamental that they’ve become invisible:

• That humans are separate from nature.
• That progress necessitates exploitation.
• That security comes through control.
• That fulfillment comes through acquisition.

What I really want is for us to reimagine what civilization can be when built on principles of reciprocity, regeneration, and reverence for life. I believe you might want this too—that you can sense the possibility of a more beautiful world, even if the path there isn’t always clear.

Children and Animals: Our Teachers of Presence

I really want a world that honors the wisdom of both our youngest humans and our non-human relatives—beings who haven’t lost their innate capacity for presence, wonder, and authentic expression.

Watch a child absorbed in play or an animal fully engaged in its natural behaviors. They embody what spiritual traditions have always taught: the sacred is found in the present moment.

They haven’t yet learned to postpone joy for some future achievement or to second-guess their authentic responses.

I want educational and social systems that preserve rather than extinguish this natural wisdom. That nurture curiosity rather than conformity, that value emotional intelligence alongside intellectual development, that teach relationship with nature rather than mastery over it.

What I really want is for us to recognize children and animals not as lesser beings to be controlled but as teachers who remind us of essential truths we’ve forgotten. I suspect you might want this too—that you’ve experienced moments of delight and clarity in their presence that revealed how complicated we’ve made things that are naturally simple.

Intentional Community: The Power of Shared Vision

What I really want is to be part of an intentional community of seekers, whether in-person or via the internet—individuals committed to their own growth while supporting others, united by shared values while honoring diverse expressions.

There’s magic in gathering with others who see what you see, who speak the language of your heart, who understand without explanation the yearnings that animate your journey.

Not to create an isolated utopia, but to form a nucleus of the new paradigm that can gradually expand its influence.

This doesn’t mean surrounding ourselves only with those who think identically. True community embraces healthy challenge and creative tension. But it does mean creating spaces where the fundamental values—reverence for life, commitment to truth, celebration of diversity within unity—form a shared foundation.

What I really want is to experience the amplification of intention that happens when aligned souls gather in purpose. I believe you might want this too—that you’ve tasted the unique joy and power that comes from being truly seen and supported in community.

The Path Forward: Small Actions, Quantum Effects

As I reflect on these deep desires—for harmony with nature, compassion for all beings, magical co-creation, personal sovereignty, paradigm transition, wisdom from our youngest teachers, and intentional community—I recognize that they may seem idealistic in the face of current realities.

But what I really want isn’t dependent on sweeping external changes before I can begin living it. Each day offers countless opportunities to embody these values, to make choices that align with this vision, to be the change I wish to see.

• I can tend my garden with mindfulness, treating the soil and its creatures with respect.
• I can reduce harm to animals through conscious consumption—like a diet of organic whole plant foods and protection of wildlife habitats of the land, sea and sky.
• I can practice Celtic magical traditions that attune me to natural rhythms.
• I can do the inner work that expands my capacity to serve.
• I can create small pockets of the New Earth paradigm through how I interact with others and our planet.
• I can learn from children and animals about being present.
• I can nurture community with those who share these aspirations.

What I really want becomes what I really live, moment by moment, choice by choice. And in a quantum universe where everything is connected, these seemingly small actions have ripple effects beyond what we can measure.

An Invitation to Resonance

If what I really want resonates with what you really want—even if you might express it differently or emphasize different aspects—I invite you to recognize that we are kin on this journey.

We don’t need identical maps to be traveling in the same direction. We don’t need identical languages to be speaking the same truth. What matters is the underlying recognition that we belong to each other and to Mother Earth, that we have both the responsibility and the capacity to create systems that honor life in all its forms.

What I really want is a world where enough of us are living from this awareness that it becomes the new normal.

• Where children grow up taking for granted values and practices that seem revolutionary today.
• Where the healing of our relationship with nature, with animals, with each other, and with ourselves has created conditions for flourishing beyond what we can currently imagine.

And if what I really want speaks to what you really want, then perhaps together—through our individual choices and collective action—we are already calling that world into being.

The question isn’t whether what I really want is possible. The question is: what becomes possible when enough of us align our lives with what we really want at the deepest level?

I’m committed to discovering the answer through how I live. How about you?

Magic has three essential elements: forming a clear intention, implanting a vision, and then taking action. Let’s do it together!

That’s what WulfWorks & Faehallows School of Magic are all about!
