spirit
A deep well of thanks
A modified elemental pentagram with bits added, symbolizing bits of my spirit and my joys.
I’d like to tell a little story, one of a rocky road filled with love, laughter, joy, despair and well…life.
It’s around October of 2007 when the question came to me, I don’t remember the exact verbiage but I do remember the shock that I felt. Something like “Dierna and Saets want to have a baby, it’s top secret right now since they aren’t pregnant yet. Dierna is not going to be able to work for a while and I was wondering if… Continue reading
Life, Spirit and Magick
My beautiful smoky quartz point sitting atop a light box. You can see the fairy inside if you look closely enough. 
I wanted to continue my train of thoughts from last November. They felt incomplete and only a glance at what I do everyday and what it truly means to me. To be able to live a meaningful life that is an embrace of my spirit is what this life is all about for me.
My struggles surround my inner critic that I am never good enough and that my abilities are never enough. While I… Continue reading
Gemstone Spotlight: Selenite ~ Light Bringer
A Selenite Tower looms in the background where my broken Light Bringer Athame rests in the front with a Gilded Spring Candle burning.
The word Selenite comes from the Greek “Selenites”, meaning “moon stone” or “moon rock”, with the root word “Selene” meaning “Moon”, and for good reason – the mineral Selenite is the near transparent and colorless crystal form of Gypsum that exudes a pearly luster which glows and can very much resemble the moon. The Greek Goddess of the Moon is named Selene, Selenite contains feminine energy and is often used to… Continue reading
Unwell with no cause
A South Florida sun from a couple years ago. I like the view of the Sun better in CA definitely. 
This morning I am sitting at my desk wondering about a great many things; however at the front is the feeling of disharmony that I am experiencing within my body. Yesterday afternoon while eating my lunch, I had a violent reaction to my food. I *never* get sick but this was violent and loud.
To say that I was not happy with this development was an understatement. I cancelled my Dance Central exercise for last night and nursed some clear… Continue reading
Gemstone Spotlight ~ Quartz
Some of my clear quartz sitting on my altar tile charging during the day.
Quartz is a gemstone everyone knows about and many people will have many types of quartz. I intend to talk about the general uses of quartz without going into what each formation of quartz can be used for. The formations of quartz, will be talked about separately.
Quartz can transform mechanical energy into elector magnetic energy (and vice versa), which makes it useful in devices such as microphones, crystal radios, watches, etc.
Clear Quartz is sometimes called Rock Crystal and is generally the most… Continue reading
And back to Wands we go ~ Page of Wands
Page of Wands ~ Shadowscapes Tarot by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law
I am delayed today on getting my post together for my reading. I pulled my card this morning like normal but did not have quite enough time to put this together and the Gemstone Spotlight so I opted for Gemstone and figured on doing this later…
Like old friends I have pulled another card from the Wands suit. It seems like an old friend that I keep finding unexpectedly in the super market where we catch up and later go to get some coffee. Today I pulled… Continue reading
Gemstone Spotlight ~ Amethyst
Several of the Amethysts that are always on my personal altar, currently being “charged” on my altar tile.
Ah, amethyst how I love thee like so many have for thousands of years. Long viewed as a stone of royalty it has been set into crowns, scepters and even rings for bishops. It is said to even have been the ninth stone in the breastplate of the High Priest of Israel and one of the ten stones upon which the names of the tribes of Israel were engraved.
Amethyst’s name is derived from… Continue reading
Aces up ~ An interesting reading
This morning I shuffled absentmindedly for much longer than I normally do and not really thinking about anything in particular just shuffling and letting my mind wander over what I needed to get done today and what I wish to accomplish in the short term. I finally settled down and pulled a card.
Ace of Pent, Ace of Cup and Queen of Swords…interesting
The card was the Ace of Pentacles, again today. Interesting. Since I pulled this card a second day in a row I wanted some clarification so two more cards pulled. Ace… Continue reading
Hello 2013
Taken at the Petrified Forest Park in Arizona during our cross-country move in July/August.
I scarcely know where to begin with this post as there is so much in my head right now. I’ve started this post about a week ago and have yet to be able to finish it with just so much in my head, nevermind the fact that I’ve had an utterly full week of things to do and little time for myself.
So much happened in 2012 that stress was at an all time high for most of the year. Work stress (not always… Continue reading
Shadowscapes Insight a King and Star ~ Healing of Burdens on the way Home
King of Cups & The Star ~ Shadowscapes Tarot
I’m getting ready to go into the store early today. We have a lot go get done by close of the day tomorrow and I wanted to get my reading done early today. I sat and shuffled like normal when a card jumped out of the deck. I set it aside and continued my shuffle and pulled my card.
The card that jumped into my lap was the King of Cups, hmm no wands today at all. The King of Cups is wise and understanding he knows the meaning of patience.… Continue reading
