Gemstones and benefits

Image
Gemstones with Health Benefits by  International Gem Society In ancient Egypt and other cultures from antiquity, people believed gemstones had a wide array of health benefits. In modern times, gemstones are mainly used for ornamental purposes. However, some people still believe you can receive health bonuses from certain gemstones and minerals. Some use gemstones as part of their spiritual practices to restore energy fields, gain peace, and promote love and safety. In some belief systems, gemstones are placed on certain areas of the body, called “chakras,” to promote healing. In other systems, gaining health benefits from gemstones can be as simple as wearing a piece of jewelry made with a specific gem. Rose Quartz A popular gemstone, the pink-hued rose quartz is said to help heal heartaches. Closely associated with love, the rose quartz seems to have a soothing, gentle energy that can calm an agitated wearer. To get the most benefit from a rose quartz, wea...

Reading a Candle

Image
SIGNS LEFT IN OR ON THE CANDLE HOLDER, STAND, PLATE, SAUCER, GLASS, OR LABEL It is quite common to read the smoke patterns left behind in a candle glass for divinatory purposes. This is a combination of Capnomancy -- divination by smoke (a word that can also refer to reading patterns in "live" smoke -- that is, incense smoke or the smoke from a candle) and Ceromancy -- divination by wax (a word that can also refer to reading patterns formed by dripping wax into water). It is therefore known as Capno-Ceromany or Cero-Capnomancy-- divination by smoke and wax. A glass encased candle burns half clean and half dirty A grey or black and sooty top which fades down to a clear bottom indicates that there is hidden trouble with the person for whom the lights have been set or that someone is working against your wishes. Things will not go well at first, but by repeated spells you may get them to go better. A dirty, black, sooty burn marks the candle glass or holder This means...

Signs observed while Candle burns- Candle magic

SIGNS OBSERVED WHILE THE CANDLE BURNS A free-standing candle lets out a lot of smoke but burns clean at the end The divination of signs by looking at burning flames is a form of Pyromancy or divination by fire. You can also perform pyromancy with a campfire or by watching the flames in your fireplace. To perform a pyromantic divination with candles, it is best to work by candle light only, in an otherwise dark or dim room. If the behaviour does not stop, then it is to be considered a sign, and not simply a physical coincidence. The candle flame flares, dips, bends, or gutters repeatedly To be sure that any unusual behaviour of the candle flames is not caused by the mundane fact that you have set the candle in a draft, it is helpful to keep a few non-specific altar lights going in the room, so that you can truly judge the activities of the flames on your spell-lights against some simple blessing candles. If you have altar lights set, you can immediately tell if all the lights ...

The 7 Chakras

Image
Let’s start with a brief definition.  What is a chakra ? A chakra (pronounced “cha”-“kra” with a resounding “ch”) is a center of energy. Originating from Sanskrit, it literally means “wheel” by association with its function as a vortex of spinning energy interacting with various physiological and neurological systems in the body.  Chakras  are energy centers within the human body that help to regulate all its processes, from organ function to to the immune system and emotions. We can commonly count  7 chakras  positioned throughout your body, from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. Each chakra has its own vibrational frequency, that is depicted through a specific chakra color, and governs specific functions that help make you, well, human. - What are the chakra colors? The chakra colors are typically broken down into seven and follow the order of the color of the rainbow, from red to purple and white. These colors reflect the different fr...

Spiritual Significance of Samhain (Halloween)

Image
In mid-autumn the old is dying & everything is turning inward as the new prepares to be reborn.  We begin to think & dream about new beginnings & what the new year will bring. But before we can enjoy new beginnings in our life we need to contemplate what needs to “die” within ourselves in order to welcome the new life that will grow into next year’s harvests.  We start to turn inward before we’re “reborn” at the winter solstice. This is a time to open yourself to your inner voice, your intuitive power.   This is a powerful time for magic & manifesting. We all know Halloween as the time of year where costumes and candy reign supreme. This spooky holiday allows both children and adults alike the opportunity to channel their inner spirit for tricks or treats, but what many are unaware of is that this holiday is Pagan in origin and is a special time to celebrate the souls of our dearly departed, as the veil between this world and the next beco...

Aura Reading

Interpreting The Energy Field Of Life Aura: au|ra - A particular atmosphere or quality that seems to surround a person or thing. From Webster's New World Dictionary (3rd College Edition)     Aura Interpretations There are 4 facets to perceiving and interpreting the energy of the aura. Layers are determined by color variations. Within the color, the shape, consistency and clarity all determine the meaning of that layer.   Is the yellow you perceive around the head bright like the sun or dingy and faded? Is the green just an oblong ball around the elbow or is it around the whole body? Does the red appear as a spike flashing across the torso or is it consistently present around the head?   These examples will be further detailed, but you can see the many factors that determine the meaning of what you see. It's important to be as precise as you possibly can during a reading, whither it is for yourself or for someone else. The more you practice your second sight, the m...
