Card of the Day: Ten of Rods (Wands)

#TenOfRods feeling burdened, the world's on your shoulders. Look at your lifestyle choices, know that you're in control of what you choose to take on.


Hanson-Roberts, Essential Tarot (1984)


This is completely tying in with the Eight of Swords card drawn yesterday.  The many options, not being able to move forward, and the pressure weighing down.  Definitely.  However, there is always something good, even in the worst Tarot card.  

This is a card of the completion of one cycle and moving forward to the next.  Remember that it's okay to say, "no" when we have already taken on enough.  Do not over commit to things, this will just make us feel pressured and resentful. Do not let pride stand in your way; let go of the notion that if you want something done right you have to do it yourself.  Do ask for help.  Do look at yourself honestly and be realistic with what you can, and are willing, to take on.


Much Love

Dreamwork: Creative Triggers for Lucid Dreams

Lately a few people have mentioned to me the occurrence of "weird dreams," or dreams that are rather vivid and busy. Weird is a subjective term and means different things to different people, but I assure you that "weird" is quite normal in the dreamscape. Weird, strange, or peculiar dreams can be one of the best spring boards to dreamwork.  In my experience I have three different types of dreams: lucid, prophetic/psychic, and the typical strange dream we're all used to. I'll start by discussing my experience with lucid dreams because they require triggers. In lucid dreams I become aware that I'm dreaming.  I know that I am the conscious creator and if I feel the desire I can mold and shape things in the environment, including the people, places, and scenarios.  I can decide to sit on the ceiling, ride a bike through the air, or become another person. In my Strive to be Lucid post I mentioned that when you start becoming lucid you may startle and ...

Dreamwork and Crystal Combinations: Chrysocolla, Howlite, and Unakite

"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." - John Lennon "All we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" -  Edgar Allan Poe Dreams have always fascinated me. I will be sharing my experiences in a new dreamwork blog series. I have been able to lucid dream from a young age.  Growing up, and in my adult years, I continue to work with dreams, interpret, read and learn what I can about dreaming, and the dreamscape. What does "working with dreams" mean exactly?  I purposefully do things in waking life to encourage things to happen in my dream life.  If there are herbs, crystals, foods, drinks, music, or meditation said to enhance lucid or psychic dreaming, you bet that I'm going to try it out.  I will discuss more of this in future blog posts. First thing I want to talk about is this particular crystal combination because I am thrilled with the results.  (Even though this is not necessarily the most important thing in ...
