Mirror Dragon Tarot Each week when I do these readings I set up my reading space with black fabric (for the photo, mostly but it also allows for and smooth, calm space to focus on the cards) make sure I have undisturbed quiet time; dogs are out, husband is at work/play/store/whatever, phone is off, etc… I begin with a quick grounding meditation and settle into a centered peace to ask for guidance in choosing the cards which will be most appropriate for the week ahead. I shuffle the cards with my intent in mind and spread them in a dealer’s “ribbon spread”. Then with eyes closed, I ask for the Center card, the West card and finally, the East card, reaching out to the spread, touching the cards and choosing the one that feels most fully under my finger tip, then sliding them into their positions. Before opening my eyes I return to a calm, centered state and do my best to sense whether the three cards I’ve chosen are the most fitting for the highest and best for all involved. Only then do I turn them face up and photograph them for the reading. There are times when I see the three cards before me and groan or breathe a sigh of relief but I always use the cards I’ve selected ”blindly”.

8 Signs That Spirit is Communicating With You
"...miracles are everyday things... Every time something hard becomes easier; every time you adjust to a situation which, last week, you didn't know existed; every time a kindness falls as softly as the dew; or someone you love who was ill grows better; every time a blessing comes, not with trumpet and fanfare, but silently as night, you have witnessed a miracle.” ― Faith Baldwin

RESTORING MAN’S RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE THROUGH SELF-AWARENESS
Our disconnection from nature began when we started leaning towards the material instead of the spiritual. Spirituality is an abstract concept that differs depending on one’s culture, personal perception, and belief. In general, however, it can be defined as an awareness of something greater, the integration with other living beings, and a realization of a profound sense of purpose. With the continual advancements of modern society, society has become more cynical and pragmatic, rejecting all other forms of belief that cannot be equated with tangible results. Our society, since then, has been built on consumerism, exploitation, and disrespect to nature.

I was dreaming about meeting gods and realized something...
I was dreaming one night, and while having this dream, I saw and heard several deities. I met and talked with each of them as if they had been family. This was when I realized they were. They were in a sense that they came from my subconscious self, and they were trying to show me important things about the events in my life in the current situation I was in.

The world of crystals can be confusing to those starting the hobby. There is a ton of terminology used when describing crystals on the market. This is my reference sheet for crystal terminology that beginners may not know.

Let’s get this right (as Gordon Ramsay often says). I’m not religious. Never have been. My dad is, I think, Catholic (he has his mom’s rosary), but never practiced. My mom was protestant (again, neither were raised religious, but my grandpa always said a prayer of sorts and amen before the start of every large family holiday meal).

Awake In The Womb
As a child, I didn't even so much as know what the word psychic meant, nor was our technology advanced enough, let alone the intellectual and mental awareness throughout humanity. Being said, I had absolutely no way of learning about the struggles I was having during my childhood, that, little did I know, they were actually psychic abilities I was experiencing. My first psychic experience, I was still in the womb, my pineal gland/third eye was already open; which of course, the third eye is another sight that requires no actual vision, just increased awareness. Some people say it's impossible to remember your birth, but I remember almost every second of it. In my first year of biology, I remember seeing a scoping through the tiny camera lens, on a short video we had to watch. Since I always had past visions of being in the womb, I prepared to discover before the video began, if I truly remember, or was I just making it all up through my imagination; because at this point, I had yet to see what the inside of a stomach looked like. Once the video began, I knew I wasn't crazy. But this was only one of my many experiences, being born psychic. I was easily noticed as a weird kid. In fact, I am such a strong empath on the psychic spectrum, I can feel the energy of insects and animals, which really allows me to respect and value all life. I will surely, tell more of that story another day. But for now, I have some other stories to tell, that focus more on my psychic awareness and abilities since birth. A lot of the time, I actually thought I had some sort of eye disease, because all I could see at random times, was shapes and colors floating through my vision. No eye doctor or any adult, could relate or even tell me what was happening. In fact, nobody even knew what I was talking about. I had many eye exams done growing up, nothing was ever found, no issues anywhere to be found. I grew very frustrated as a child, to these experiences, often asking adults "What's wrong with my eyes?" and "Why can't I see normally?" Little did I know, these were orbs and energy fields I was seeing. Including the Earth's energy field, which is very amazing to see by the way, I truly wish everyone could. I often wish I could show people what I see, it's just so mesmerizing. One day, I'd love to write more about that as well, including doing energy healings on the Earth, and what that is like, as far as I'm aware, it's insanely dangerous. I'd love to write a short story one day, and share it here with all of you. As I got older however, with the right awareness and training through spiritual values and teachings, the colors and shapes became more transparent, allowing me to see more easily, as well as, I gained more control over it, allowing me to choose to turn the ability off. Which I am greatly thankful for that, because I was even worried about my abilities to drive; like what if, a huge pink blob covered a sign or a signal light? That was always a scary thought, but throughout my spiritual journey, it became easier to control, and is now more adaptable for me. The fears I just described, lead me to tell the story of another psychic ability, that was probably one of the scariest psychic experiences in my life growing up. Often, I would have random out of body experiences, that would scare the hell out of me. This is especially because, they would happen while I was awake. I would be walking through the halls at school, and get this dizzy spell feeling, like I was about to hit the floor. I never did, but that's also because I was so afraid of it; which while trying to have an out of body experience, if you feel fear at all, you will not be able to do it. So, my soul would always try, but I would feel immediate panic, which made it a failed attempt. Throughout my spiritual journey however, I have been able to gain more control over that happening, and willingly do it while I'm awake now. This is also why, I am very certain that I'm a star child, or actually a Celestial being, here to fix the planet. Not only do I greatly care about the Earth, but I deeply care about all the life on it as well. I have many plans and ideas that will save humanity and the planet, it's just the matter of me getting through all my struggles first, through my early adulthood, and absent income. I frequently Astral travel, to outerspace, it's always where my soul wants to go, I watch over the planet, communicate with it through.energy, I help to keep it as strong and healthy as possible, so Earth can hopefully survive longer, weather can calm down, and we can all be healthier.
Taylor MacePublished 13 days ago in LongevityHaving Spiritual Awakening?
For some, it seems like something straight out of a “How to lose your mind” handbook, but a spiritual awakening is a very realistic goal for those who believe in what it takes. No matter what path you follow in life, a spiritual awakening is not so much a religious awakening. At least not nearly as much as it is a personal awakening in my experience.

Saining Not Smudging Saining is the Scottish Folk magic act of purification. It’s similar to the idea of smudging but very different. Importantly it’s a cultural relevant practice and is one available for folks who work within the Scottish folk magic or other pagan based folk magic. There has been a lot of conversation around appropriation of certain practices across the world by westerners. A lot of people using White Sage to smudge is a great example of this. There is a lot of, backlash and anger from Native American people and others to stop folk using Sage to smudge in their efforts to purify their spaces. Others cite the overharvesting of the plant in the wild and other issues caused by the commodification of these native practices by predominantly white western Capitalists eager to cash in on the latest "white person" trend adding to it becoming problematic. Therefor we need to look at naturalized harvesting and using herbs from all around us. All Of Dea’s ( the company I use)herbs are grown in their local garden and/or harvested in a way that promotes the growth of our natural prairie sage in the wild. New herbs are being harvested every year, with the blessings of mother nature and Gaia
