Divination
Dreams
Dreams are a simple, yet easy form of divination. Since dreams operate on a
different mental plane, they allow you to receive messages from your guides
and let you peek into the script you have written. That's where some of the feeling
of deja-vu comes from. You witness a portion of your script in the dream
state and when you experience it, it triggers a residual memory that you recognize.
Before you go to sleep ask your guides to give the answer to a question while
you dream. Also ask that you remember the dream. It helps to keep a dream
diary as the answer may show up over a couple of dreams.
There are a lot of books on the meaning of the symbols in dreams. It helps to
have more than one opinion as to what the meaning is. It's important that you do
not pick a meaning because it is what you want to hear; try to pick the one that
rings truest in you heart.

Crystals & Gems
Pearls
Pearls are one of nature's most exquisite gifts. Pearls are said to cure
migraines and chronic headaches by being worn against the skin. They are also
said to promote wisdom and contentment into old age.
Pearls should never come into contact with makeup or perfume. To cleanse pearls
they should be soaked overnight in a salt-water solution and energized by sitting
them in oyster shells. If pearls are not worn frequently they will become dull and
unattractive.

Smudges & Smudging
Smudging for the Season
Smudging can be used to bring in the new season and recognize the ancient rituals.
With the Summer Solstice (June 21st) fast approaching, it is time to honour the
changing season.
The Summer Solstice celebrates community and our place within it. We travel and
visit more friends in the summer. It is a time of community coming together to
enjoy each other and the bounty that life has to offer.
Gather outside in the open before dawn. Smudge around the area where you will
gather. Smudge and cleanse each person as they enter within the area. Gather
together in a circle and clasp hands, with thumbs facing to the left. (When your
hands are clasped this way, you receive energy with the left hand, as it faces
upward and you gift your energy out downward with your right hand.) Ground
yourselves to the Earth Mother's (Mother God) energy and open your crown chakra
to receive the Father God's energy. Feel Their energy combine over the heart chakra
and feel it fill your body. Mentally open up the small energy centres in your hands
and allow the energy flow to the neighbour on the right as you receive energy from
the neighbour on your left. Fell the energy level swell and the energies combine
to reconnect you with the group, your community, your support. Mentally give thanks
to the Divine for reminding you that you do not stand alone on this journey.
End the ceremony by smudging yourself, others in the group and to the light
of the candles which heralds the suns rebirth.

Dealing with Death
On this plane, death is a reality. This isn't to be morbid, this is to be
factual. Recently in my life 2 dear friends have had family members pass over
and another person is on life support. We all come to this plane for whatever
time we write into our scripts, to learn one lesson or many, to have our souls
grow and perfect, to make a difference and to experience.
However our society has taught us that death is something to be feared, mourned
and is an end. The truth is our soul survives and returns home; whether you believe
this to be heaven, the other side or just returning home to God. We mourn for ourselves
not for those who have gone; it is our own "selfish" wish to keep those we love
and know close; but even in passing they do not truly leave us. They will for a
time be cocooned to soften the pains and memories and to heal the soul of the programming
that it received here, but then they come to offer support and to let
you know that you are still a part of them and in their heart.
It isn't wrong to mourn but I would like to suggest to you that you make it
more important to you that you celebrate their life, their friendships and the lives
of the people that they have touched and made better. Let them pass over with a
light heart and pass freely when the body tires and gives out.
