How to find your Totem Animal

Everyone has an animal, bird or fish which holds a special meaning for them. This is not necessarily a pet or even a domestic animal; it could be foreign or even mythical

1. Take a walk in the woods just before dusk. Take the time to look at the trees and plants, to inhale the scent of the woods and listen to the sounds around you. 

2. Find an old tree and sit down beneath it. Close your eyes and lay your hands flat on the soil on either side of you and take a few deep breaths. 

3. Ask the Goddess to send you your Totem animal. 

4. Open your eyes and pick up the first thing you see lying on the ground near you. Take this home and place it under your pillow for three nights and your Totem animal will come to you in your dreams.

5. When you know what your Totem animal is, remember to look out for it in the world around you and to acknowledge this gift of the Goddess each time you see it

What Other animals would you like to know about?

Jellyfish- Spirit Animals

WHEN JELLYFISH APPEAR:

Keep your faith strong and know that life will supply everything you need. 

Practise the art of non-resistance, going with the currents and movements of life rather than fighting them.

Be a little more cautious at this time with any work you’re doing in the spirit realm

Be sure that you’re getting enough water throughout the day

Organise your work and home so that you’re more efficient and effective, doing a little bit each day

CALL ON JELLYFISH WHEN:

You’ve been struggling with something that hasn’t yielded much progress or any results.

The group your with, or your family, is out of sync with each other, causing unnecessary disturbances and upsets.

There is considerable disarray and fragmentation at work or at home.

You;re involved in a conflict with someone where there seems to be no resolution because each of you is being stubborn and intractable

IF JELLYFISH IS YOUR POWER ANIMAL

You have absolute faith that you’ll be provided for no matter what. You’re very sensitive and responsive to the natural rhythms of the earth and easily flow with them. You prefer living with a group of people or within a harmonious community, one where everyone tries to be cooperative. You’re very organised and like to manage and coordinate events that require these kinds of skills.

@dannisdays jellyfish for you <3

Merry YULE!!! Blessings to you all and hope your celebrations are joyful and loving xx blessed be

AGATE

COLOUR: Agate comes in lots of different colours and is sometimes artificially coloured, different coloured agate can have different strengths when healing and working with them. common colours include clear, milky, white, grey, blue, pink and brown

APPEARANCE: Waxy and soft, usually banded, sometimes translucent, various sizes.

ATTRIBUTES: Agate is formed by microscopic crystals of quartz laid down in bands making them a very stable crystal and for this reason also perfect grounding stones, bringing about an emotional, physical and intellectual balance. They aid in centring and stabilizing physical energy. Agate also has the power to harmonize yin and yang. the positive and negative forces that hold the universe in place. 

Psychologically, agate gently facilitates acceptance and one’s self. This builds self confidence. It aids self-analysis and perception of hidden circumstances, bringing to your attention any disease that is interfering with your well being.

Agate can also aid mental function as they improve concentration, perception and analytical abilities, leading to practical solutions.

Emotionally this crystal overcomes negativity and bitterness of the heart. it heals inner anger, fostering love and the courage to start again.

HEALING: Agate stabilizes the aura, eliminating and transforming negative energies. Placed on the heart, it will heal the emotional disease that prevents acceptance of love. placed on the abdomen or taken as an elixir, Agate stimulates the digestive process and relieves gastritis. Also good for cleansing the lymphatic system and to strengthen blood vessels

POSITION: Hold or place on the appropriate body location. As agate is so variant it is useful for all healing situations

CALCITE CLEANSING STATION

This is my gorgeous hunk of calcite that I got not long ago, calcite is the perfect tool for cleansing other crystals and tools you wish to use in rituals or on yourself. Cleansing stations are easy to use just place the crystals or objects on the calcite and place in a quiet place, this can be inside or outside.

Calcite is also a really good tool to use to cleanse yourself, it works great with the mid-section/ stomach area and our emotional centre. It promotes proper elimination and encourages calcium uptake in bones. 

Calcite is also great for meditation and uplifting your emotions.

This is my little charging station working away outside with my new collection of crystals. There is Raw Emerald at the back, Black obsidian/ dragon glass arrow head, agate ball and my favourite cavansite in matrix

sunburst crystal layout

FUNCTION - Radiates energy

A radiating sunburst energizes a whole area. It is particularly useful to energize the earth via a map but you can also lay it out on the ground or bury it if your layout is to be a permanent feature.

Although is is usual to begin this layout in the centre and work outward, you find it useful to dowse for your placements, for example, you may need to set out a central alignment first, or place crystals to draw in energy.

You do not need to complete a circuit of this layout, as the intention is to radiate the energy outward as widely as possible.
