Mystical Magical Whimsical

Glass stemmed Mystical Magical Whimsical by mystic2awesome The "Focus Card" was randomly chosen today from my deck of cards, is somebody trying to tell me something today. This card tells of thoughts of focusing on what you have and want and not on what you don't have or don't want. You would think that no person would dwell on what they don't want but many do. Their whole lives are full of "What if this happens or that happens". Make a note that if you are one of these people that just has to dwell on these "Whats" add to that question these words "and what is the worst that could happen". Once you have faced what the very worst is it doesn't seem like it's quite as big of a mountain. You and only you can decide which thoughts you dwell on, so "choose" to dwell and focus on what you have and what you want and hold those thoughts in your heart and mind.

I carry my cards, my incense, my cleansing articles and such in a special Bag like the one shown and sometimes when I find something new at the beach or in the woods I add it to the decorations of my Bag so that it is always evolving and gaining strength to keep my treasured items safe and protected. What do you keep your special treasured stones, scents or potions in and what makes them special to you?

Daydreams

Daydreaming can relieve your stress, perk up your creativity and invigorate your self esteem if used to see yourself in a positive light. Use your daydreams as a tool to see yourself succeeding and then enjoying your success in your minds eye. Try to steer clear of those negative revengeful daydreams which can ultimately become habit forming and keep you in a negative frame of mind. Using comforting imagery along with your daydreams will put a smile on your face and an uplifting breath of fresh air to your mind. While trying to envision quality daydreams you can use scents such as peppermint for stimulating energy or lavender to calm those frazzled nerves.

Water Thoughts

~Magickal Graphics~
For some reason today I am drawn to water scenes, thoughts of ponds with water lilies and magical pockets of water caught in high rocks of red sandstone. There are water falls which only occur once a year in a short span of the monsoons of Nevada (that is a span of 10 days). When fellow hikers see that it has occurred they hike out to the spot knowing that it will only be there for a very short time. After the initial few days or sometimes even just a few hours the water recedes and is soaked up by the enormous thirst of the desert and it is gone until the next year. The wait is well worth it to see a water fall being created by the Great Mother of Nature itself in a storm of rain and then to see it die just as quickly but much more quietly is a sadness which is included in the price of admission.

A Fool's Guide to Lucid Dreaming

It was one of those dreams where you have someone or something chasing you and you are trying to get away and seem to be unable to get away or even find a good hiding spot. And then I thought to myself "Self, if this is a dream there will be a tunnel to hide in when I look down" and I looked down and there it was! Usually in my dreams I suddenly realize that I am in a dream and then "edit" my dreams as I wish. This is a fairly new feature of Lucid Dreaming for me, I am changing my dream landscape and then realizing that Yes, I am dreaming. So I decided in the dream that I would jump down the tunnel and hide and when I did it wasn't just any old tunnel it was fully furnished with the most beautiful furnishings. There was lots of food and I completely forgot about what ever it was that was chasing me, so mission accomplished. Of course I should have thought to stop and face whatever was chasing me and ask it why it was chasing me, but that is something I am working on. The "Fool's Guide to Lucid Dreaming" is a great way to learn the basics of Lucid Dreaming for the beginner, enjoy your dreams.

Nymph

Is it warm enough yet to see a Wood Nymph around your garden spreading seedlings yet. Maybe not quite yet but with this in mind I thought I would create one of my own to put into my shop and maybe the seedlings of sales would start to grow. January has been a slow, slow month at the little shops. Of course I have been a little slow myself wanting to stay curled beneath the covers every morning just as long as I can. February will I believe be a month of growth and new seedlings from my mind to create. I hope your 2010 has been off to a better start and is becoming the year you have wished for.

Valentine Love

~Magickal Graphics~

Imbolc also known as the Feast of Torches (Feb. 2) was also Groundhogs Day, there must be a connection there since the lengthening periods of light awaken the Goddess as well as the Groundhog. For me, I am just so happy the Days are getting longer and there is more light to be had sending rays of warmth throughout this land. Now we can start readying ourselves for the Love to be shared on Valentines Day (the great Chocolate celebration of Love). This year with all the cutbacks and shortages of money going around I suppose I should be concentrating on creating items which are less frivolous and more of a useful nature but for me this is a difficult task since at some time or another I forgot to grow up. This glove pillow below is probably as close as I can come to something with an actual use. Hope you enjoy it and my positive energy I am sending out to you today.

Hugs

~Magickal Graphics~

It seems that a hormone inside the body whose output can be triggered simply by hugging. This particular hormone is found in both male and female brains and spinal cords and is called Oxytocin. Not to be confused with other infamous prescription drugs sounding similar. Just a simple 10 to 20 second hug can change the whole outlook of the Monday you so dread to see or the Wednesday hump day or even the dastardly deadline day Friday. Hugging is also a great way of dispersing Energy Vampires, those who feed off your positive energy thereby replacing it with negative energy, they hate hugging and will often disappear quickly if they see a hug coming. Of course do be careful with the hugging because it can be potentially sex-enhancing and if you insist on hugging your mail carrier there is an immense danger of chaos when everyone starts getting their bills late.

Healing reflection

~Magickal Graphics~

The Oracle Card for today is "Reflections" which is telling you to remove the smoke screen that hides your natural talents or worth, and stand tall. Recognize the areas to be developed further and start perfecting that talent now and be a good reflection for others. The card also says that our shadow sides serve a purpose within us and also can teach us lessons in this life when reflected upon. This card was chosen at random from a deck of cards called "The Sacred Path Cards" by Jamie Sams and illustrations by Linda Childers. This is a wonderful Book and Deck of Cards which I love reading over and over again. If you get the chance I highly recommend it for it's insightful self discovery and Native Indian teachings and healing techniques.
