AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
As of Summer Solstice, we will be beginning our quarterly enews, which will come out around each solstice and equinox.  LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER (EARTH)
by Fran Carey
It was as desolate a stretch of road as you're likely to find in a state with a population exceeding four million. The horizon stretched unbroken until it disappeared over the edge of the world. Warm late afternoon light bathed the shortgrass prairie. A firm breeze swept across the bed of Wildcat Canyon and made the distant windmill spin. I couldn't hear it, being upwind, but I knew what it would sound like - a rhythmic, metallic creak and a groan as the head turned to follow the wind. I knew the smell, rusted metal and alkaline water. And not just from this lifetime. I let the sun and the wind and the memories wash over me, a past life on the High Plains when my fastest transport had precisely one horsepower. And a saddle. It was, to quote Yogi Berra, deja vu all over again. I often find myself on spiritual trips as well as physical ones. It seems a break from routine helps me break other barriers as well.

by Karen Charboneau-Harrison
The idea that each human has an astral body capable of separating from the physical body and journeying through time, space & dimension is an old one. Hindu writings describe the 8 Siddhis (magickal powers) obtained thru Yoga - one of them is Astral Projection. These beliefs are contained in Tibetan Buddhism and are an integral function in shamanic practice world wide. In the Catholic Church this technique is called 'bilocation' & there are many accounts of saints employing this method to be seen in 2 places at once. Go here to read this article in its entirety... MAKING MATH MAGICAL
by Renna Shesso
It's our collective malaise: Post-Traumatic Math Disorder. Yet despite how we personally feel about mathematics, our distant ancestors willingly used numbers as pathways into the great patterns of Nature, avenues to understanding the Universe and their own place in it. Many ancient cultures had specific gods and goddesses they credited with inventing mathematical skills. With the aid of divine inspiration and assistance, humans nourished this numerical invention, continually pushing their skills and seeking greater clarity of expression. Often, their motivation was metaphysical: A large portion of math history traces back directly to the earliest astrologers, who needed to be able to describe and record what they saw in the night sky… Go here to read this article in its entirety... FAIRIES AND GNOMES AND OTHER-WORLDLY BEINGS
by Barbara Moore
Happy Spring! Hopefully, you are feeling the wonderful energy of the spring months and have all sorts of exciting plans for personal growth. In keeping with the theme of springtime energy and growth, I wanted to write about some decks that might be useful in your journey. The many fairy-themed decks from Lo Scarabeo seem like a natural sort of spring thing. But they are much more than a collection of charming, clever decks. They embody amazing intellectual, mythical, and divinatory concepts. Tarot of the Hidden Folk is based on the little known Book of Rael, the transcription of the history of the Secret Realm (or fairy world) and the origins of the occult hierarchies within that world. Amazingly enough, the story fits the structure of a Tarot deck perfectly. Go here to read this article in its entirety... TAROT MEDITATION WITH THE SUN AND THE MOON
by Stephanie S. Sommers
The Sun card represents a flowering of the inner self, a time when who you are inside yourself and who you are to the outside world become more closely aligned. In other words, the who that you are internally and the who you project into the world become more alike, you truly are who you are all the time. The Moon card represents the balance between the wild and the tame, the balance between our unconscious and our conscious, our ability to use the information hidden in us to support our choices and actions. The Moon is information communicated to us from dreams or altered states like meditating. Go here to read this article in its entirety... THE SUMMER SOLSTICE / MIDSUMMER'S EVE
