For me, I just walk out the back door, and there it is; happiness and joy lying everywhere; in the dirt, plants, chickens, bird song, rain on the gravel, etc.  This morning Luna went with me to the backyard to let the hens out of their coop and fill the woodstove and it was then … Continue reading How Does One Find Happiness?

Creating and testing my lithomancy set -divination using crystals. . Will test these with various questions and casting cloths. . Have you tried lithomancy?

In the early morning, while the house still sleeps, I sit in the kitchen, drink my coffee, lay cards for the dawning day, document dreams, and talk to my ancestors. . Until recently I whipped through their advise with a 3-card spread; there is much to cover before the sunrise creeps over the mountain. . A 9-card (3×3 or portrait or box) spread, though, is definitely the way to go. . Mary Holder, my great great grandmother, had quite a bit to say and this appears to be about the crystal healing sessions I am about to introduce .... in my own space and not at the spa (yes, you heard it here first!). . How do you talk to your ancestors? Or do you? Let me know in the comments. . . . #lenormandcards #pollyssunsetlenormand #lenormanddeck #lenormandspreads #ancestralwisdom #ancestorsspeak #lenormand #cartomancy #geneology #spiritguidance #modernwitch #spiritguides #ancestry #familytree #spiritualguidance
Cards with friends! Can you imagine using these for cartomancy? The cards, not the friends. 🤣 . . #cartomancy #rummy
On All Hallows Eve, I sit on the front porch, reaching out to my dead and enjoying unseasonably warm temperatures. It's been raining and the glow from these florescent yellow maple leaves is heightened. . One again @thecardgeek has shared another revolutionary spread for this holiday and I have included those images for reference. . The request: Show me, Spirit, how I can improve my channeling skills in the coming 12 months. . The center line of 5 is the main message: protect myself, do a little at a time, write about it and stick to the family tree and loyal guides. . 2/ Positive influences to channeling: fox + snake. 🤣 An ability to remain honest, not let it drive me nuts and keep it uncomplicated. . Messages from Guides 3/ My Focus: Whip - keep at it, again and again and again. 4/ What To Ignore: Ring - overcommiting myself. 5/ What Hinders: Ship - working too much (doesnt leave time or energy to focus). 6/Best Skill I Have: Stars: being psychic and clear sighted. . I invite you on this power packed day/night to reflect on your goals for the coming 12-months. Winter is coming and with that the darkness, pregnant with potential. . Give this spread a try, share, and tag me in - cannot wait to see your discoveries! . . #divingguidance #divination #ancestors #witchythings #spiritualworld #channeling #channelingspirit #mediumship #spiritualguides #ancestorspeak #spiritualtools #samhain
Now that the veil is thin, it's the perfect time to ask - who is close by. So this morning I made the spread, as presented by @thecardgeek and was left with my grandmaman, a child, and a young male. The second picture is the family, including y grandmaman. . This spread prompted a conversation with my mom where I learned that Grandmaman was pregnant when she developed kidney disease and had to have the kidney removed; they took the baby too (aborted). . And the young man? She was engaged to a young man before meeting my Grandfather. His name was Edward Hanrott and they met when she stayed with his family in London to learn English. Apparently, he was on the train and leaning against an outer door, speaking to friends. The door wasn't latched completely and, while the train was moving, the door opened, he fell from the train and died. . She was so distraught that she had a nervous breakdown and convalesced at a 'spa'. It was after this that she met the man that became my grandfather. . I checked again this evening to find grandmaman and Edward still here. This is the final outcome of the radar spread as shared on @thecardgeeks youtube channel. Who do you have hanging about? I'd love to hear! . . #clairsentient #witchylife #kippercards #kipperkarten #kiperreadersofinstagram #cartomancy #mediumship #spiritualist #modernwitch #diviningguidance #divination #ancestors #witchythings
