Daily Tarot | Card of the Day – 8 of Swords – Thursday, April 19, 2018

We do not see this card as often as we did back in the beginning of this blog. For so long, so many felt as though their hands were tied, and that solutions were not readily available. All of that has been changing, and the energies which have been present this week are designed to put you into a whole new chapter. Truly, the only one who can stop you is you.

If you are feeling restricted in any particular area, consider Saturn’s newly retrograde motion, in place through August 25. If you feel as though Saturn is not allowing you to make gains with an issue, an additional review of the situation may be necessary. It does not mean you are permanently stuck.

For most of you, it feels as though there is a sense of freedom here today, and that is likely due to Chiron having now moved…

Shamans are rising, are you one of them?Many of us who grew up in the western World are in fact Shamans but don’t know or understand it. Traditionally, if you were not born in an indigenous culture and initiated by the age of 30 you are not a Shaman. This for me limits the World’s […]

Celtic Lore | Dragon Runes

In Dragon Magic, one form of divination are the Dragon Runes (aka Druatch Runes). They were envisioned and created by Isedon Goldwing in April 2001. Isedon said they were “a set that I have come across through re-memory/trance/channeling/whatever you want to call it…”

The Druatch language that the names for the runes come from, is based on memories from others who have the past experiences of dragons as well, by finding the words appropriate to the idea behind the rune, the names were created, through continuing meditation and assigned appropriately.

I plan on making a set for myself using wood circles and burning the images onto each piece.  I feel that using something that is natural to make my runes would connect me better to them.  You could also use your favorite stones!

Invocation 

“Power beings of the Dragon realm I call out to you today. Come forward now as I offer you my light and ask that you enter my dream state and show me your guidance at this time.

Please assist me in understanding the wisdom you have to offer humanity and to use this information wisely. I ask that you guide me and protect me along my soul journey (if there is anything specific you want the Dragons to help you with you can state it here). Thank you for your bright blessings. Blessed Be.”

Meditation

After saying the invocation, make sure you aren’t going to be disturbed.

Close your eyes and relax, clear your mind and take your awareness to your breath. Allow your breath to relax you, taking you deeper into a meditative state and imagine you are surrounded in bright white light.

You can play gentle music…

Pohaku La’au | Crystals for Beginners

“In a crystal we have clear evidence of the existence of a formative life principle, and though we cannot understand the life of a crystal, it is nonetheless a living being.” -Nikola Tesla

img_0753 My personal collection of stones! I have many smaller palm stones as well, but I typically keep them scattered and in different places depending on how I’m feeling.

So you’re giving into the hype and you want to know what this whole crystal thing is all about. I don’t blame you! They make for beautiful decor and they’re something tangible that you can refer to for specific feelings, ailments, or imbalances. Don’t let people make you think that crystals are for witches or people who worship satan…. because those things have absolutely nothing to do with crystals in the slightest. People of all religions, beliefs, and ages can use crystals in their every day lives.

Spirituality | Contemplations …

North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii, USA
During late November through mid-January, the northern coasts of the Hawaiian Islands turn turbulent as winter storms traveling across the North Pacific generate large swells.

 

Turbulence … it means anything from a few little bumps to a catastrophic weather system that could knock your flying tin can out of the air. So, you know, you better buckle up! One of the most unpredictable things about encountering turbulents is its aftermath. Everything’s been shaken up, undone, turned on its head. So … if you have the choice – to avoid the plane crash – do you take it? Do you play it safe? Or, do you get on board and take your chances?
