Discovery of Unknown Ancient Population Changes Our Understanding of How North America Was Settled
She died 11,500 years ago at the tender age of six weeks in what is now the interior of Alaska. Dubbed “Sunrise Girl-child” by the local indigenous people, the remains of the Ice Age infant—uncovered at an archaeological dig in 2013—contained traces of DNA, allowing scientists to perform a full genomic analysis. Incredibly, this baby girl belonged to a previously unknown population of ancient Native Americans—a discovery that’s changing what we know about the continent’s first people. […]

Card of the Day – The High Priestess – Thursday, January 4, 2018
Day two. And the High Priestess shows up; no coincidence here, folks. The Universe is practically screaming to listen to your intuition. There is a bit of a feeling of hindsight is 20/20 here. Did you heed your intuition yesterday when we saw the Queen of Cups?
Perhaps it is merely the planetary fog lifting. All planets are direct, and Mercury will leave shadow six days from now. It should be easier to listen to your inner voice now, without becoming confused. There is much to be known now to put the pieces together, allowing you to move forward toward the life you have always wanted. Listen.
See you here tomorrow!

Pohāku Lāʻau – Magickal, Mysterious, Whitby Jet
By Isabella @TheWandCarver
Jet gives me such a thrill, particularly the Whitby variety. Some say it “ain’t Jet if it ain’t from Whitby!” Ah, yes…I almost 100% agree, still, I have had some very good magick come from Jet which hailed from other parts and all. Where does Jet come from, if not from Whitby? Deposits of Jet were discovered in other countries beyond Britain, including Spain, Germany, China, Turkey, and Siberia. In the United States, Jet has been found in Virginia, New Mexico, Utah, and Alaska. However, none of these locations produced Jet that had the same working qualities and beauty as the Jet found near Whitby.

So, whilst Jet from anywhere else may have strong magickal energies, when it comes to jewellery making and working with Jet for creation of art objects, it really is not Jet if it “ain’t…

Pohāku Lāʻau – Shiva Lingam, A Mystical Crystal of Power
By Isabella @TheWandCarver
Shiva Lingam come from only one place, the Narmada River in Western India, one of India’s most holy sites. The word ‘Lingam‘ comes from the Sanskrit word for symbol, as these stones are a symbol of Lord Shiva. The Shiva Lingam are an integral part of their worship practises, and have been for hundreds of years. Their colours vary, but they are all a tan colour with various brown, red or grey stripes, spots or patches on the stones.
photo by i.macy
The villagers around the Narmada River gather the stones from the river and hand polish them so that they are a smooth, rounded shape. They are deliberately made into the well-known phallic shape, as this shape has a specific meaning because it is symbolic of the phallus of the Hindu God Shiva, and of his union with his consort Kali…

Card of the Day – Queen of Cups – Wednesday, January 3, 2018
Steady as she goes! It is always a welcome sight to see the Queen of Cups show up near a Full Moon rather than the Queen of Swords. Intuition runs high today, so do rely upon yours to see you through any situation which you may encounter.
Today is our first full day of all planets being direct, and possessing the calm demeanor of the Queen of Cups can come in quite handy, especially with Uranus now in direct motion. While surprises can indeed happen, being able to keep your emotions balanced can come in very handy now. So, if out-of-the-blue events are throwing others in a tizzy, be that buoy which can go with the flow and handle anything which comes your way. Do not allow yourself to believe there is somethingbad on the horizon, because it isn’t like that. This is more about your ability to adapt…

Very rare transpersonal hook ups
This aspect the meeting of Venus planet of women and Pluto the lord of the underworld in Capricorn hasn’t happened in almost 250 years. 
Venus is set to meet up with Pluto in Capricorn behind the sun on January 9th. This clandestine affair symbolizes the rape of Persephone by Pluto.
With the recent #MeToo and Tines up campaigners this meeting symbolizes a turning of the tables.
Venus in earthy Capricorn is all practical patient earthy and world conquering.
I say Venus takes back the Night. This was a famous feminist slogan when numerous women were raped . No woman is truly safe living in the invaded state of patriarchy.
Any situation where Power has been usurped fits into the category of this monumental event.
Think about this. In the past 1000 years. Pluto and Venus have only met in Capricorn about 4 Times.
The times they are a changing wrote…

Lāʻau Lāpaʻau – What Is a Carrier Oil?
A carrier oil is derived from the seed, kernel or nut of a plant. Coconut, olive, and safflower oil are all examples of carriers used to dilute essential oils before they are applied topically. These oils get their name because they “carry” the essential oil onto the skin. Diluting with a carrier oil doesn’t limit the effectiveness of your essential oils. It allows you to extend the life of your EO’s, preventing waste.
Carrier oils do not contain a concentrated aroma, although they may have a mild distinctive smell. Cold-pressed, natural and unadulterated carrier oils should be used whenever possible to keep consistent with holistic aromatherapy. Vegetable shortening, baby oil, butter, mineral oil or any other petroleum derivative should be avoided as a carrier oils. They can prevent the skin from breathing properly, cause the essential oils not to absorb, keep your body from releasing toxins and clog pores.
High quality oils found…

Card of the Day – Knight of Cups – Monday, January 1, 2018
Happy New Year and Full Moon blessings to all! What a day! What a year! Today is the annual Full Moon in Cancer, and this one is also a Supermoon. The Knight of Cups is one of the biggest fan favorites, signalling love on its way to some. But, you know me, I have a different take on this, especially today.
Today’s Knight of Cups is a bit of a daydreamer, and why not; today is a holiday for pretty much everyone. And, even those who are working may indulge in a little bit of daydreaming as the New Year gets under way. Tomorrow, Uranus will end its retrograde, meaning that there will be ZERO retrograde planets until March 8 when Jupiter retrogrades. You will want to be very busy in the coming weeks, pursuing all of your dreams and projects. The Universe is giving you a green light to…
