How Does One Find Happiness?

Posted on March 2, 2019September 17, 2019 by Annette Lanniee

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?

Rauhnacht for January⠀ This year I participated in the Rauhnacht reads for 2020. ⠀ ⠀ The rauhnacht is done during the 12 nights of Christmas - in the @worldduvinationassociation we used December 24th through January 5th. ⠀ ⠀ Included in the read is an animal 'card' for a set theme and then three cards (system of your choice) to forecast the month.⠀ ⠀ I decided to use Ceccoli Oracle and Pixies Oustanding Lenormand for the forecast.⠀ ⠀ January's animal is the Stag - What is holding me back?⠀ ⠀ N°1 Vigilance. Being sure of the real situation once all the drama is stripped away. Watch and wait. ⠀ ⠀ What's holding me back is I am comfortable just watching; there needs to be some action. ⠀ ⠀ January's forecast: tree + lily + fish⠀ ⠀ An unhealthy contentment about prosperity i.e. I am too 'comfortable' and it has become unhealthy. ⠀ ⠀ Looks like I'll be rocking the boat this month! ⠀ ⠀ If you are a reader, give this a go; if youd like to see your January, let me know ... I'll share here. 😄⠀ ⠀ #lenormandcards #oraclecard #lenormandreader #ceccolioracle #lenormandreadersofinstagram #rauhnächt #rauhnächt2020⠀ #lenormand #cartomancy #cardreading #oraclereading #oracledeck #fortuneteller
The Game of Hope (GoH); if you havent played the game, I recommend you do so - it's appropriate for all ages. ⠀ ⠀ There several excellent ways to interpret a Grand Tableau (GT) though the GoH techniques are my absolute favorite. If you play the game, you'll have a better understanding of how movement happens within the spread. ⠀ ⠀ And the best part of this method is you don't have to decide on a question - it is perfect for the year in advance. ⠀ ⠀ What's your favorite GT method? Do tell!⠀ ⠀ #gameofhopelenormand #grandtableau #grandtableaulenormand #lenormandcards #theprimallenormand #pollyssunsetlenormand #fortuneteller #lenormand #cartomancy #fortunetelling #divination #lenormandspread #lenormandreadersofinstagram
While waiting to.draw my first rauhnacht, I decided to make a rum cake. . . Yum! . . #
One of my must-dos when traveling is visiting older cemetarys. The one pictured here was waaay off the road and marked by a tiny green sign along the side of the road. . Sweeping oaks with the moss hanging low, gravestones and crypts partially sunken, slowly being reclaimed by the earth. . Cemetarys have never frightened me - at 5 years of age I announced that I didn't want to take a nap and ran from my parents. I hid in the graveyard that was close by and returned home when I realized the dead person probably didn't appreciate my sitting on them. . Every cemetary has a different feel. One close to home makes me feel like I have arrived to a party underdressed and they all stop to turn and look at me! 🤣 . In another, I'll take the local paper and read the news outloud. I can hear the laughter at some stories and the gasps of 'OMG' from others. . None of my family are buried close by so I tend to the graves of others. . Do you visit graveyards? . . #cemetaryshots #cemetarywandering #cemetariesofinstagram #graveyardphotographs #taphophilia #grave_gallery #graveyard_dead #cemetary_shots
An impromptu trip to the beach for some Gulf water (Yemaya's been insistant). . We stumbled upon this drum circle serenading the setting sun but didn't get to stay as the skeeters were horrible. . I miss the Gulf! . #gulfofmexico #yemaya #drumcircle
