As the world hangs in the balance and our planet's population waits with baited breath, to see who will be elected the U.S. President, we of spiritual pursuits are stepping back to celebrate our most favorite holiday, Samhain, Celtic New Year, Day of the Dead or whatever you would like to call it. This is a time of honouring our ancestors. Nothing could be more important than looking back on our history and wisdom from the elders and making sure we are not doomed by repeating mistakes from the past and from the history books.
This Samhain is especially powerful as we will have a Full Moon, indeed, a Blue Moon, (the second Full Moon in a calendar month), to beckon us to higher realms during our rituals and meditations. A Full Moon doesn't really go along with the celebration of Samhain--even though it is depicted this way in photos, art, some traditions, etc., the last crescent phase would be the correct one that coincides with this date on the cosmic calendar. (A Dark Moon would go with Winter Solistice, for example. And so on through the Wheel of the Year.)
The Blue Moon doesn't really enhance the energies as the calendar humans follow is only man-made and based on human calculations. This is a Full Moon in Taurus with a ruling planet of Venus, and this sign is about beauty, purpose, material possessions, what you own that is tangible and more of everything, a great time to manifest those things in real time.
Mercury is retrograde for several more days and this will definitely influence the events of the coming weeks as this planet will slip into it's shadow phase around November 4th. So it is not over yet! Even though we are having a Full Moon and the trend is to ask for more and think of abundance and blessings, Mercury will have us wanting to get rid of those material things and situations in our lives that are no longer necessary and don't serve a purpose. So a dichotomy of sorts with these energies we are feeling. Think "less is more."
As always, I have provided the links below so you can do your own research and reading on the upcoming trends and the cosmic forecast happening right now.
Be sure to honour your elders and set a special place for your ancestors at the table.
In these incredible and changing times, we need their wisdom more than ever!
If you ask them, the veil is thin and you will hear their messages loud and clear.
Happy Samhain!

DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE MATH! To determine your soul and personality card, add the day, month and year you were born. Take that total and add all of those numbers in a row. If the sum is more than 22, add together the resulting numbers. If the sum is between 10 and 22, that number is your personality card . Add that number together to find your soul card . To calculate your year card , do this: add the number of the day and the month you were born to the year you want to check your card for. Then add those numbers all together for the total. The sum of those numbers is your year card . Your year card is in effect and you are under it's influence from your last birth-date to your upcoming (or next) birth-date. If you have any questions on this, just ask me (use the contact form on this site). *I use the number 22 for the Fool in order to assign a number value to that card. **Create a chart or an old calendar and calculate p
REVIEW: Mildred Payne's Secret Pocket Oracle by Patrick Valenza/Deviant Moon

Mildred Payne's Secret Pocket Oracle in French--Second Edition Well, I gotta say, I love this little deck! It truly is pocket sized and can fit in the palm of your hand! Throw in your purse or take when you travel, it really takes up hardly any space. Patrick Valenza, the creator and artist of the Deviant Moon Tarot also created this tiny deck. I bought the original First Edition when it was initially published and the original did not have as many cards. There was an expansion pack that came out later to take the deck from the original count to the 69 cards--where it is numbered now. There is another expansion pack that I have seen on the website but not explored yet. Also on the first edition, the backs had unusually drawn designs that could be fit together to make into a really cool puzzle. Both editions came nicely packaged with extra cards, the cards were in a standard tuck-box and included a small red pouch to carry them in. The First Edition had the meanings of the car
The Hidden Occult History of Moldavite

Moldavite Moldavite is one of my favorite stones and I have been using it for magick or wearing jewelry with these stones for many years now. I can tell you firsthand that this stone does not come from just Czechoslovakia but many other places on our planet. Wherever a huge meteorite has hit, one has a chance of finding these stones...not created with any compound or mineral here on Earth, Moldavite comes from somewhere else, another planet or celestial body. The term for this is "tektite" and there are many different kinds of these. Moldavite has a distinctive leafy green color and almost looks like bottle glass. Buyer beware, there are many knock offs out there if you choose to buy some of these stones. Check your sources carefully. Not sure how I missed this very cool article, but it is worth checking out, lots of information here. This is the known history, but I have another history about this stone...maybe I will write about it someday. Enjoy reading this!
