Dreamin
I have needed glasses since the 6th grade, and even though I’ve had corrective eye surgery, I still have trouble seeing clearly. More recently, I’ve had several dreams where all is shadows and shapes, my vision is so blurry. At the Healer’s Retreat last weekend, a man who told me that he made extra cash in college doing psychic readings, made a comment that is helping me to better understand my poor eyesight. His comment was this: I am living more in the world of the subconscious and the dream than in...

Recently I picked up my Medicine Cards (by Jamie Sams and David Carson) to start working with them again. These were my first introduction to using cards as divination tools and the familiarity of the animal world created a safe, first step to learning about more of the spirit signs and symbols shown to us every day, waking and asleep.

The concession to us two younger girls was an afternoon to play with him before he would sadly go off-limits to us for the rest of our natural...
Read MoreWhat Gaia Returns to Us
It is the nature of Mother Earth to draw substances into herself and to push them back up again. With winter’s freeze and spring’s thaw farmers will tell you that they could pick rocks all day long in their fields and the next spring, a new crop will have been unearthed. And yet, there are continents, civilizations, we are told, that have sunk into the sea or been buried by the sands of the ages. The summer I lived on a Greek island there was an excavation site along the donkey path I used every day to get to...
