What lies at "the end of desire"? This intriguing line from the Charge of the Goddess—"I am that which is attained at the end of desire"—sends us on an exploration of desire itself, from basic survival instincts to our most complex spiritual longings.

Desire powers our most essential functions. Yet desire can also transform into greed, obsession, and attachment when left unexamined. As we navigate challenging economic times, the distinction between genuine needs and mere wants becomes increasingly crucial. How do we honor necessary desires while preventing others from overwhelming our spiritual growth?

The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we consider whether ancient gods might actually have been extraterrestrial visitors. Could stories like the arrival of the Tuatha Dé Danann or ancient hieroglyphs depicting strange objects in the sky be evidence of alien contact? More provocatively, if gods once directly interfered in human affairs but later stepped back, what does this suggest about humanity's spiritual development?

Throughout our discussion, one theme remains constant: the importance of self-honesty. We must recognize when we're gaslighting ourselves about what we truly need versus what we merely want. The witch's admonition to "know thyself" becomes essential guidance, with meditation serving as our most powerful tool for developing this awareness. By confronting our desires honestly, we begin the journey toward understanding what truly awaits us at the end of desire—whether that's reunion with divine energies after death or moments of tranquility within this lifetime.

What do you believe awaits at the end of desire? We'd love to hear your thoughts.
