"The Celtic 'tree zodiac' fabrications, the direct result of Robert Graves' invention of a tree calendar', have become an almost insurmountable barrier to any serious study of the forms of astrology that were practised by pre-Christian Celtic society. For fifty years, from the time Graves' published his book The White Goddess (1946), a veritable industry has been built up among his acolytes, which preach artificial astrological ideas based on Graves' spurious arguments. Some have even published books on what they fondly term 'Celtic Astrology', manufacturing a completely artificial 'astrological system'. "

"You are not the ‘Great Creator’ of your songs, you are simply their servant, and the songs will come to you when you have adequately prepared yourself to receive them. They are not inside you, unable to get out; rather, they are outside of you, unable to get in. Songs, in my experience, are attracted to an open, playful and motivated mind. (...) sit down, prepare yourself and write your own damn song. You are a songwriter. You have the entire world to save and very little time to do it. The song will find its way to you. If you don’t write it, someone else will. Is that what you want? If not, get to it." Nick Cave, issue #43 of the Red Hand Files

"Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out."
~ Václav Havel
BRING FRESH ENERGY INTO YOUR HOME
Repaint the walls, scatter plants throughout your living space, rearrange furniture, buy a new painting, string up some fairy lights... However small the gesture, making changes to your home environment can help alleviate feelings of being stuck in a rut and will usher in a more hopeful energy.
"As the human body consists of members and parts of various ranks all acting and reacting upon each other so as to form one organism, so does the universe consist of a hierarchy of created things, which, when they properly act and react upon each other, together form literally one organic body."
—Zohar

FIND THE LESSON
Being hopeful means treating the challenges that you face in a positive way. Instead of letting your difficulties overwhelm you, look instead for the lesson each obstacle you're confronted with is teaching you. There is always some wisdom to be gained in tricky times.
