Opal – The Powerful Seeing Jewel
Opal is known as the ‘seeing jewel.’ Its name originates from the Latin word opalus. I was told this by the owner of a beautiful crystal store in South Africa. Most Opal he said can be as much as 65 million years old! The stone contains a high percentage of water, which creates a play of color through light, and a sparkly phenomena.
Opal’s energy represents both the higher emotional body and higher mental body. This jewel adds light to the aura and helps to bring buried emotions to the surface. When I bought my first Opal from an interesting lady at a psychic fayre, she told me that the name originates from the Sanskrit writings and means ‘precious stone.’ It is amongst the most popular of stones sold throughout the ages.
The lady in question was from the Far East and said that in her culture Opal is a holy stone that holds the spirit of truth within. She added that the Greeks believed it provided protection from illness and the power of prophesy. She told me that Opal carries the energy of the Moon and water, and that it would enhance my psychic awareness. She also warned of its use in any rituals, because of its powerful energy.
Strong Relationship Readings
My clients are typically circumspect and cautious when selecting partners. This is why great variance can be seen in their tastes, or their preferences. And therefore, they are happier if their concerns are alleviated during readings with just one simple answer, or a yes or no reply.
Of course, someone with a great deal of esoteric knowledge, or of a great mystical level, may have the ability to glean all information at an instantaneous glance. But I can assure you, with the volume of information I am usually getting, one is dealing with perspective, timing, opinions, distorted facts, memories, personality, updated ideas, ideals and hopes, and influences. It is always more than a simple yes or no.
With perspective, it can be the time of year or day, or the work the person does, or the culture they come from. This will greatly alter their reading. With timing, it would be about when the question is asked, such as if the question was asked at the beginning of the relationship, in the middle, or at the end. Opinions are good, but need to be sorted out, as people feel too embarrassed to state they are influenced by them. “My mother said,” is often overlooked as the a mitigator, when in fact it can augment or frustrate situations to a major degree.
Healing Your Life With Archangel Raphael
The main roles of Archangel Raphael, the angelic realm’s Supreme Healer, are to heal, guide and support individuals in their health matters. In fact, the name Raphael actually means “God heals” or, in Hebrew, “He who heals.”
One of the wonderful things about Archangel Raphael is that he is with us, in an instant, whenever needed. However, he is by no means a shy angel, because he well and truly likes to make his presence known – to make you fully aware that you are being comforted and supported on your way back to a healthier state. Nevertheless, it is imperative that we understand the signs that we are indeed connecting with this supreme being. Those signs may be one or more of the following:
How To Interpret Your Dreams
Have you ever had a dream so intense that when you wake up you just can’t seem to shake the memory, or the feeling of that dream? Maybe you find yourself coming back to it throughout the day, strangely affected by your nocturnal experience? Perhaps there are images you can’t shake, symbols you feel hold some meaning, but you’re just not sure. And then you ask yourself, what does it all mean?
Interpreting your dreams is a very personal experience. Dreams are a conversation with your subconscious, your higher self, and Spirit. Because of this, Spirit will use symbols, colors, places, people, and so on, that have specific meaning to you. It’s important to interpret your dreams through your own lens.
To get you started interpreting your own dreams, and engaging in this conversation with your higher self, consider the following guidelines.
Never Judge A Book By Its Cover
Many people like the idea of being psychic, but sadly do not have the gift. I know this because I have a friend who is a great astrologer, but she herself is not psychic. I know this because she has confided in me. She does not have any psychic ability; she does readings by looking up people’s birthday information in astrology books. She doesn’t pick up on other people’s emotions when around them. This was confirmed when she was invited to join me and a friend, who had just recently lost her mother and was deeply saddened, she couldn’t feel what this women was going through and didn’t pick up on her feelings.
But my astrologer friend does look like someone who could be psychic. Is there a psychic look? Do psychics look differently than people who don’t have the psychic gift? I don’t think so. I have learned over the years that you can never tell who is psychic, or who is not. I think we tend to judge people based on their appearances way to much.
Oracle Cards As A Divination Tool
Oracle cards are quite different from Tarot cards. They are easier and not as complex to read as the traditional Tarot, and there are a plethora of different oracle card decks available. Personally I own over 20 decks and I realize I have barely skimmed the surface of all of the versions available. To get started there are many reputable lists and rankings available online.
Oracle card creators represent different philosophies, traditions and belief systems, and therefore each deck is unique. Oracle card decks typically contain about 56 cards, or less. Each card has its own meaning. Oracle cards are typically prophetic and can be used for many different purposes.
I like to pull an oracle card every morning, just to give me an idea of the kind of day I will have. The nice thing about them is they do not need to be put in a specific spread the way one typically does when working with the Tarot. You can pull as many as you feel is best for you.

The Magic Of The Plant Kingdom
I recently enrolled in a course to become professional herbalist. Herbs are something I’ve always been interested in. I wouldn’t say I have a green thumb for growing plants and gardening, but I certainly do love immersing myself with the herbs. I love combining them with oils, making tinctures and herbal remedies, and doing all of this in a magical setting with candles and other healing modalities.
One of my herbalist instructors said something that stands out for me. She said that you don’t need to be a great gardener, farmer, or botanist to be an herbalist. She went on to say that many of her greatest students and graduates have been urban dwellers who live in big cities. Rather than growing and harvesting their own herbs, they purchase them from trusted suppliers, both locally and online.
