Totem Visitation: Peacock
I was driving home from a client on Tuesday and standing on the double yellow line, like he was waiting for me, was a glorious peacock. I told him to get out of the road, and he crossed (left to right) behind me. I drive that route several times a week, and I have never…
Close Encounters with Coyote
Crossroads magic is an interesting practice, and I suspect each person approaches it somewhat differently. Crossroads are one of those places the Scots call Thin Spots – places where the veil is thin. For me, crossroads are an opportunity to create goodwill with the spirits, and to make the occasional entreaties. I don’t tend to…
Contact: Sea Turtles
I had the opportunity to have a bit of a chat with a large, male green sea turtle. It was pretty challenging, actually – their energy is different than anything I’ve encountered; almost like it was subsonic. It moves so very slowly. They haven’t really changed much over the span of their existence. I did…

Totem Visitation: Crow (part three) – Channeled Information
part one – Crow comes to visit part two – what others have to say about Crow From the conscious into the unconscious. From the unconscious to the conscious. The breath of Spirit, the breath of the Universe. From the Void came their song, reaching out over the neighborhood, rending the quiet of the dawn….
Totem Visitation: Crow (Part Two)
(part one is here) Before I start with the automatic writing, I felt the need to go and see what some other folks had said about crow. While I like to have my relationship with Spirit be fairly organic, I don’t operate in a vacuum. Besides, I like data. Spirit Animals & Animal Totems agrees…
Totem Visitation: Crow (Part One)
At 6 o’clock this morning, I was called to awareness by two crows in a tree, directly facing where I sleep. One was above the other; the top one was facing left, the bottom one right. Once I acknowledged them visually, noting their positioning, they moved on. Their arrangement suggests wisdom and awareness. They were…
Totem Visitation: Oriole
I was sitting in my office and was distracted by a very distinct bird chirp. Outside my window was a delightful, young, male oriole. I have been fascinated by orioles since I was a child. Their nests are unlike any others – they hang like baskets and are very strong. Orioles have a very long…
Cycles
Raccoon asked me this morning to create a cycle calendar. Basically, Raccoon tends to do things on a 20-week cycle, so that’s 4 quarters of 5 weeks each, with the energies of germination, growth, thriving, and harvest. Since I noticeably started a cycle on Friday, I used that as a starting point. I cross referenced…
Pyrite and Abundance
Just this week, I came across a wonderful pyrite and obsidian disk, about an inch and a half in diameter, with a hole in the middle. I couldn’t put it down, so it came home with me. It’s very soothing. I’ve long known that pyrite is good for generating abundance, but I’m told it’s also…
