My Interview with MysticMag

Erika Ginnis

It’s the time of year to look back at where we have come from and choose a path forward. I have more to say on that topic which I will save for later. However for now, I will start with a blog post, which is something I have not done for quite a while. As I was setting my intention for what I would like to see in the coming year, I was contacted by MysticMag, and so I decided (or the Universe decided) it was the perfect time to become more visible again, and post more often.

Therefore please join me in my wonderful opportunity to be interviewed by MysticMag. I really enjoyed answering questions about my book, my work as a a spiritual counselor and High Priestess in the Sylvan tradition, and to go into some detail about how my spirituality combines with role playing games within the game I am currently writing. Please check out the interview below.

Third Wish November, my latest track uploaded to Bandcamp.

Erika Ginnis

I call this piece Third Wish November. I started writing it on November 3rd 2018 and then so many things happened between that time and this, having come back to it in 2023… navigating cancer, the pandemic, planetary changes..

I always saw this as part of my yet unwritten musical, so that’s my vision still. I renamed it Third Wish November as a call out to the idea of three wishes, and approaching that Third Wish, so it feels a little hopeful, a little playful & maybe a little sad & a tad unsteady…yet containing magic, much like it feels living life today.

More will be coming in the future. I am releasing these as I get them up on Bandcamp, there should be another one in the not too distant future. Please follow me on that site if you are curious about what I am creating.

Please be well and happy.

Aloha and Blessings,

Erika

Hilo on a Saturday, Coconut Island on the bridge, thoughts.

Erika Ginnis

On the bridge to coconut island today, (Moku Ola, one of my favorite places to stand & think) entertaining deep, not entirely pleasant thoughts, but my thoughts nonetheless.

Doing this while watching kids jump off into the water…Watching the water…watching the minnows…Watching the world around me. Big tall guy, maybe a visitor to Hilo, walking on my side of the bridge looks like he might walk into me, doesn’t but passes behind me then stops & stands on my left. Asks me (in his slightly or maybe very tipsy voice) “Are you OK?”

(Says it almost as if he feels like he’s worried I might jump? Me wondering if he has been watching the kids jump off this very low bridge over and over. Probably not.)

He says “It’s just good to ask”.

Me, (even though I agree with that sentiment in principle) immediately establish my “don’t mess with me wall”, look directly at him and say “I’m good.”

To which he replies “OK I’ll leave you alone.” Which was the correct response on his part.

Interesting interaction. So many ways I might answer if it was someone I felt like I could answer.

Yes. No. Maybe. Right now I’m pondering deep thoughts. I’m looking at the water & thinking about how much I sometimes still seek approval and belonging. I’m dealing with aging. I just came from Pride that was a drive through event, which was deeply surreal and felt at once really good and really lonely.

I feel a little bad that I have to activate the iron wall, bad that I know from experience that to not do that in this situation (per intuition) rarely ends well. Part of me wanting to reward some level of caring. Wanting to say “I don’t know if anyone you ask that question these days, being completely honest in the social sense can truly answer in the affirmative”.

Maybe I reminded him of himself, maybe he was hoping to get lucky, maybe he was bad news. I wasn’t interested in a long enough conversation to find out.

I do however, appreciate any of his motives that were altruistic, since I might have had more of my inner workings showing on the outside as I was in mid-ponder.

And at the same time I would like to be able to have my thoughts uninterrupted while looking over the water. Which is usually the case.

So I took it as the Universe saying OK, you’re done, time to leave those thoughts for now. You spoke the truth, you are actually good. Nothing more to see here, move along.

Aloha and Blessings,

Erika

Awaiting Transit. A soundscape, for your latest exploration.

Erika Ginnis

If you haven’t heard this one yet, I wanted to share it with you today; recorded in the jungles of Puna Hawaii, and in Garageband iOS 13

I was originally going to call this Patiently Awaiting Transit, and then I realized that using the word patient was a stretch (haha), so it just became Awaiting Transit. It’s a soundscape, it feels like where I stand at times; in the place between the jungle and the cosmos, looking to the stars and imagining being in transit to something new…

There is also something in this piece that speaks to me of ships passing in the stellar shipping lanes, their colors changing through the spectrum as they move by.

More music to come in the future; I am releasing these as I finish them, up on Bandcamp. My mediations are also on Bandcamp, in case you don’t have them. Please follow me on that site if you are curious about what I am creating, there is a link in the sidebar.

I wish you peace and ease on your own journey to new places and experiences, may they be an opening to an even greater Good.

Aloha and Blessings,

Erika

My latest musical journey on Bandcamp.

Erika Ginnis

I have been spending time moving between creative projects. It is one of the ways that I am riding the waves of energy that are moving around and through us all. I have been creating visual art and music, and I keep saying I’ll migrate my web sites, however I may wait until Mercury goes direct.

I call this piece “Relays”, as it speaks to me of all the messages that we are receiving at the level of conscious awareness and all the levels that are not conscious. We are all on a journey of some kind, what is it for you? How do you hold on to your own clarity, your own receiver, keeping it clear and managing the input that you are swimming in.

Just a reminder that I still am offering my services right now, for whatever you would like to pay. This continues through the end of the month. If there is anything on your mind, or if you would like someone to walk with you, help you in some way by clearing energy or assisting you to expand your energy techniques, this is definitely the time to do it.

More will be coming in the future. I am releasing these as I get them up on Bandcamp, there should be another one in the next couple of days. Please follow me on that site if you are curious about what I am creating.

Please be well and happy.

Aloha and Blessings,

Erika
