Faery Tambourine
The gentle music and sweet fragrance of this tambourine is said to be
irresistible to even the shyest faeries. Use it with a kind heart
to lure them from their hiding places.
Materials
* 2 feet (61 cm) of grapevine; honeysuckle, or other woody vine
* floral wire
* liter-sized soda bottle
* 4 yards (3.7 m) of 1/4 inch-wide (3mm) ribbon in one or more colors
* measuring tape
* scissors
* 4 jingle bells
* various fresh herbs and flowers
Instructions
1. You can buy small grapevine wreaths at craft stores. but most
faeries can tell homemade from store-bought, and they tend to be more
receptive to things you make yourself. Simply wind grapevine,
honeysuckle, or a similar woody vine around the soda bottle. Avoid any
vines that look hairy: it could be poison ivy! Wind the vine around
the bottle several times, occasionally threading it through the inner
part of the wreath and back out again. Secure the circles of vine to
each other by tying small lengths of floral wire in four or five
places around the wreath.
Faery Garden
atever you do to bring life to your garden will bring
faeries as well. First of all, plant
plants that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. This will also
attract the fae. So put up
hummingbird feeders, bird feeders, bird baths, bird houses, even bat houses.
Small fountains,
ponds, faery statues, or waterfalls are all good. Here's a short list of
plants that attract
faeries to your garden:
Common yarrow, Achillea millefolium
New York aster, Aster novi-belgii
Shasta daisy, Chrysanthemum maximum
Western giant hyssop or horsemint, Agastache occidentalis
French lavender, Lavendula dentata
Rosemary, Rosemarinus officinalis
Thyme, Thymus

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which
one it is, you will know what to do for that person..
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have
expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and
support,
To aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
This person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is
done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share,
grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons,
Things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson,
Love the person and put w hat you have learned to use in all other relationships and
areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant

Hello my Dears :)
Today Im talking about how to chose the components that go into making your besoms.
Just like spellwork every component needs to be chosen wisely .Attention should be
paid to how everything works towards a common goal.
You need to think about how you'll be using your besom.What tree always catchs your
eye and calls to you.What can be used with the wood to enhance the powers of your
broom.I can always tell when someone has put the proper thought into making their
besom,the energy flows right up your arm when its handled.
This lovely is made for healing and protection.It will dispell negative energies,break
hexes,calm and heal both body and spirit .I started off with a nice piece of Oak for the
handle and Cherry switchs for the broom .
The Oak is a magickal tree, potent and full of energy.The Druids are held rituals in oak
groves, and held them sacred because Mistletoe grew in them. Oak symbolizes
strength,perserverance and protects against evil spirits.
Cherry has a very centered and grounded Earth energy unwavering, and solid. Cherry is
used in rituals to stabilize and focus. It is used for intuitive insight and to overcome
obstacles. This is an excellent choice for healing as well as divination work.Cherry is
suited for use working with animals and familiars, spells of detection, and amplifying
spell work.
these two woods combine to make a powerful backbone of energy to build on.
The Shaft has Honeysuckle and large tumbled Amethyst coiling to the top where a
piece of Iron Pyrite finishs it off.
Honeysuckle is great for boosting psychic powers,protection,luck ,happiness and good
health.
Amethyst brings energies of stability, peace, calm, balance, courage and inner strength.
It can be used to protect against psychic attacks. On the spiritual level, amethyst can
help open potals to other realities, telepathy and other psychic abilities. It is an
excellent stone for meditation or dream work, past life work, and can help you see your
path. It has also been used to help ease the pain of grief, and promote happiness.
Amethyst is reputed to be beneficial when dealing with legal problems, and money
issues, which can lead to prosperity and abundance. Amethyst is also used as
protection for travelers.
Iron Pyrite is a very protective stone, shielding the user from negative energy of all
kinds.
Pyrite blocks energy leaks and mends auric tears. Pyrite protects you from both
environmental pollution and physical danger. Used on the Third Eye,Pyrite
strengthens mental abilities and awareness of higher forms of knowledge.
Many have ran into a situation where they are constantly competing with others who
are usually in same aspect or idea of a path.. and are always trying to out do each other
with the same means.. and this is where being you the individual can make it allot
easier as i have had this same argument myself for being me although as complicated as
i can be but not my fault.. think I got the short straw lol
anyway when you learn your abilities or your goal to achieve in your task and your
using your own set methods then there is no competition.. no 2 are the same in their
ways or means.. so even when one tries to doubt my ways because they dont relate to its
understanding it is neither's fault but we have to adjust and understand the
individuality aspect as long as we are working toward a goal of improvement of some
kind..
do not let others pull you down or try to put doubt in your means as they just would
not understand or being held back by their own lack of trying to pull another down.. it
happens and more then should from this modern society..
still many adults playing in the sandbox but dont let them tell you your indiviudalistic
ways are wrong if it works for you just is and the way it is..

Let go of Anchors
the cluttered concepts we been
givin that never worked
Posted by haw
What I mean by anchors and even I found I had few but was on purpose..
heres what i mean, through time we are seeking what we are and we pick up on things
that seems to might work for us.. and sometimes it doesnt.. I held on for purpose of
assisting another the option that it may help them..
sometimes when one explores and find all this stuff they tend to try or have but seen no
relative effect or just didnt seem to carry them much further.. and thus they proceed
and mean while we put these things in the brain closet thinking we may use them later
but rarely do.. on allot as i have seen how much between all paths put into one box can
be over whelming..
for those that are finding themselves and with this group we hope to clear all these
things up..
First you will seemingly know what doesnt work.. letting it go will help clear the
conscious clutter because many times we are trying to manipulate a uni interpretation
between a few different concepts and allot of times all it will do is confuse as some
concepts have their restrictions on how to utilize a method much less mixing it up..
confusion sets in and is in back of mind every time you try something else.. constantly
trying to put a puzzle together and the peaces just will not fit by this..
so clear all the concepts you have gathered and not ever fit your objective and just let
them go.. these will act as anchors and anchors on your forward energy initiative ,
action, motion.
For some meditation works and some not.. the idea is to find some clear minded free
time.. if is sit in a quiet room for a few or some park or in the yard.. but just some total
peace , and do not try to think .. but realize yourself as a person and what you want or
hope to achieve or your interest.
for most on this site is some kind of spiritual connection for themselves and or if not for
others sake..
in this quiet time it will and can come to you what you feel you can do or compelled to
do.. as for healing or guiding or teaching or just being a big brother or sister.. every bit
helps .. even when we help others it helps ourselves and many do not give this a chance
and thus denying themselves of the feeling the accomplishment set forth in their
calling.. or task..
Now I have helped many and some do progress and some just fall off .. I hate to see it
but is by their choice so is not my responsibility I cannot live their life or decisions for
them..
so this is the effort , find what it is you like or can do and ask questions or search this
site for related topics and read what really what makes sense to you.. not half heartedly
either.. it has to be completely relate to you and your feelings for it to even work via the
energies you present.
one big major thing I always have said is it doesnt have to seem or be complicated to
work.. as we grew up all you had to do was pray right.. well for us we go a step further
harnessing energy we recognize due to many and their gifts or calling because we
recognize it..
so really boils down to a few aspects in effort to have things manifest and do not forget
when helping or assisting another their energy has to be solid in the intent as well for a
change in any kind of forward movement..
so confidence plays a key role as your intent and energy depend on it any doubt can
take away from that.. even if you dont see a sign of improvement from another or a
scenario doesnt mean your effort didnt work.. the energies elsewhere wasnt right.. one
can even be serving up some karma and are not allowed this change at the time.. not on
us..
not easy to keep allot of my writings short as i can explain so much .. but ask questions
and maybe I or another can answer..
but try to let go of all anchors first thing.. and treat it as a fresh start but keeping with
elements that seem right for you.. rid the old ..
Much peace

1. If possible, grow the plant yourself. This will give you direct physical contact with it
regularly before attempting spiritual contact.
2. If the plant is edible, add it to your diet regularly for an entire week before trying to
make contact. This internalizes the plant's energy and creates an inner harmony with
that plant's matrix, which will ultimately improve your results.
3. Sensually experience the plant--touch it, smell it, listen to the sound it makes in the
wind or rain, and look at it from different angles (above, below, and from all sides).
Again, it is suggested that you do this for an entire week before attempting to make
contact.
4. Bring the plant into your life in as many ways as possible, like wearing its pattern in a
tie or shirt, hanging a picture of it near your desk, burning incense in its aroma, and so
forth.
5. When you feel ready, meditate with the plant nearby. Try to make sure you won't be
disturbed for at least twenty minutes.
6. As you meditate, breathe deeply and wait until you feel "transported," maybe a little
fuzzy around the edges of your being (some people describe this as tingling or hearing a
far-off humming sound).
7. Now, visualize yourself in an environment in which that plant would naturally grow.
See yourself sitting in the middle of a circle of these flowers or plants. Allow this
visualization to become as real as possible, bringing to memory the smell of the plant,
its texture, and everything else you learned about it in the previous steps.
8. Reach out spiritually toward the plant. Don't open our physical eyes, open your
psychic ones. Be patient and wait, making mental notes of any imagery or feelings from
this point forward.
Reawaken your taste buds by tasting everything with your eyes closed, get a friend or
family member to help you, it is not a guessing game, but a journey of discovery to
understand the subtle messages of every part of something. You are not trying to guess
that it is coffee or cucumber, acorn or birch bark, but that is it drying or wet, soothing or
enlivening, bitter or sweet etc., etc., Also, does it bring up any thoughts or memories for
you ? Work with everything your taste has to offer you. A name is not important, but its
signature energies are.
When you are sure your taste has awakened you can move onto your smell, working in
the same way, allowing yourself to smell every part of something and to be aware of
how that smell makes you feel. Repeat for touch, always with your eyes closed, explore
every facet, angle, bump and texture of the object you are holding, let it speak to you
through its signature energies. Learn to feel the breeze, even the most gentlest of
breezes will caress your skin, the Earth Mother will talk to you through the souls of
your feet, walk barefoot and lightly upon Her.
With your ears strain to hear things that are further away, learn to judge distance,
spacial awareness and direction, allow yourself to hear the various levels of sound, what
is close to you and what is further away, what is of the Earth and what if of the Air. Who
and what makes the sounds you hear ? How do those sounds make you feel ? What do
you sense ?
Always you are questioning, questioning, it is how we learn about the world around us
and about ourselves. When it comes to our eyes we must learn not to trust them without
the back up of our other senses. What we think we see is only a fraction of the
capabilities of our sight. We think tables and chairs are solid objects, but they are not,
they are merely vibrating at a different level to ourselves and our perceptions and so
they appear to us to be solid. I could give you facts and figures about black holes and
quantum physic's and matter, but that is not the Shamans way, facts and figures proof
nothing if you cannot feel and experience it for yourself.
You must learn to use your eyes in conjunction with all your other senses, and they
must be opened fully before you can work with them all as a whole.
Put down your books that tell you how it is or how you should experience it - this is
only one persons experience, we are all different and will each experience life
differently. If you truly wish to walk the way of the Shaman, then you must work on
yourselves first.
