Tarot Card of the Month: February 2025, 5 of Cups

                                     Loss, Regret, Bereavement, Good byes, Denial

                                  Sign: Scorpio       Element: Water     Planet:  Mars

A lonely figure stands in the foreground with his head down cast, feeling hurt, grief-stricken and alone. He wears a black cloak as his protection, the cloak also alludes to secrecy and mystery. Before the figure are three cups that have been knocked over spilling their content signifying his loss. The red liquid can be red wine or blood meaning life force being spilled. The green liquid colour meaning can be related to the heart chakra as in healing or on an emotional level green is associated with jealousy and greed, money is also associated with the colour green as in the greenback. 

We see a river flowing between two lands which separates the figure from the castle or fortress on the other side which is safety and protection. There is a bridge off to the right hand side of the card that acts as a portal to take him over to the other side of the river. Or is it the other side of life? Now remember the river is indicative of human emotions and consciousness, the bridge can be seen as a portal between worlds or realities or moving from one place to another physically. From the angle we see the bridge, it shows the two arches in which the water flows as uneven. More water seems (perception) to go through the further one and restricting the flow closer to us. So this implies an uneven distribution of energy or thought.Before the bridge there is a hill which means an obstacle to overcome before reaching the bridge. 

Notice the two cups upright behind the figure, he has not noticed they are there, if only he would look around him, he would see there is hope, love and support. He is too distressed to think clearly at this stage though. This loss has overwhelmed him and affects his logical thinking process. One must ask the question, did he kick the cups over because that is a possibility. Did he regret the action afterwards? 

The pain felt is very real and raw, being both emotional and psychological in nature. The figure is a tall and imposing character in the middle of the card. This is a person that is larger than life and perhaps feels life revolves around them.  What is his pain? What is his secret? Is he to blame? His home looks safe and protected away from the turmoil though not to far away to reach for safety.    

Above we see a grey sky void of any luminary, no sun or moon. Grey is a neutral colour but it is also a spiritual colour which makes it important in regards to current world events. So, this card shows us there is a spiritual component to the card. The 5 of cups also reminds us to stay hopeful in times of loss; and tomorrow is another day. There will be recovery and transformation or changes so have faith. 

Notice the colour of the ground, it's not a vibrant green grass, more of a murky colour but grounded in earthly reality. Perhaps this represents stagnant emotions. This man may be down but not out, he has his cloak of secrecy and protection and he has survived. All he has to do is make his way to the bridge and safety. 

The bridge is a metaphor for transformation, spiritually or physically moving you from on place to another. One world or reality or another, like a portal. The world is currently rebirthing or transforming before us this year and choices must be made very carefully by everyone. February-March is important as we face transformations spiritually, morally and our choices which can also e politically motivated, though some people may prefer neutrality. This is very emotional energy which can be very painful and may include losses. Whether it is bereavement, financial, material etc it is painful. We must try to remain strong and hopeful nevertheless. 

Many people will feel lonely and without hope for the future, but must look around them for inspiration and hope. In February we will see the uncovering of a new leadership and victim blaming in the US. 

There is also secrecy around Donald Trump as he has something hidden from the public view as he tries to "transform" America in his image. Will this divide America? It is very strong possibility. I do feel the media will be on their soap boxes over Trump. This will show where the media loyalties really are, keep an eye on Fox news, and an eye out for news involving the Air Force, whether it’s the US or another nation. I see a military aircraft in flight which looks like it is turning on an arc. This seems connecting with a political situation and feels important. 

I do feel Donald Trump has a big stripe down his back like a skunk, not a popular person with some of his actions in February. Although he will attract like minded people to his cause. Interestingly, the Skunk use its scent to repel enemies but attract a mate with the same scent. Hence Trump attracts like minded people to himself. 

With Trump, you never know what he is really thinking, yet he always has something to say. That's Mercury the ruler of Gemini in action. February is a month of shadows, as there aren't any luminaries in the card, so it's a month of illusion and mind games. Death, and loss are highlighted in world events especially, the guilt game will be played out along with denial by politicians and public figures. As this card is ruled by Scorpio keep in mind the deceptive power of Pluto the ruler of Scorpio, it is a deadly power with a sting. This 

 Be very careful of what you say, read, and especially in your actions  because you may have misunderstood what is really happening around you and you could be betrayed. In Canada, I feel Trudeau’s hands are tied and he seems friendless all by his own actions. 

The number 5 can signify the 5th house of the zodiac, which is ruled by Leo which is a fire sign and this is about a leader with the influence of powerful Leo energy. An attention seeking leader that likes to be seen. There is more than one that fits the bill currently. 

In the tarot the number 5 can symbolize destabilization,crisis,upset, adaptation, challenges and opportunities, to name a few. It also covers nemesis, revolt, being an outsider, altercation.

Please take care of each other and be mindful of your thoughts and actions.

Warm and fuzzy hugs everyone

Blossom like a flower with self love

Stop thinking am I good enough, wanted to be accepted or being the odd one out. You are you and you matter, you do not need to validate who you are to anyone but yourself. Many people live lonely lives, many people feel excluded at some point inlife, but turn that around and ask yourself, are others worthy of me and my own special uniqueness? Probably not, when you examine their personalities and how they treat others.  

We are all like individual flowers and blossom in the sunlight in our own unique way, no two flowers are alike or identical. You blossom in your own way, not the way others want or expect you to, and nor should you. Don't think that life will be better if you compromise who you are, your core being  and what you value about yourself is not worth trading who you are, in hope of a better life. Those detractors and those that exclude you will constantly demand that you change to conform to what they want no matter what you do, so remember that. You are valuable as the wonderful soul that you are already, believe in yourself and develop a strong sense of self within you. Trust me you will blossom.  

Those that seek to change you or devalue you are common garden weeds, they don't like your unique shining flower. They do not have the courage to be you, the flower that is unique and blooms by itself. Make sure that you nourish yourself as the beautiful flower you are. You are worth it!

Many younger flowers, take different lengths of time to come into full bloom because that is the way they are created. That is their uniqueness their gift to self, so let them blossom in their moment. Please don't rush them or try to alter them, this is their journey of the soul, not yours. 

Those that bully the young flowers lack the courage to bloom themselves and sap the energy of others. Only to be overshadowed later in their season at some stage. You must bloom on your own terms with the self nurturing of the self and the spiritual divinity within you. Some flowers need shade to bloom some need full sunlight, some flowers can bloom in shade or full sun but a flower will always blossom. 

Your petals are perfectly designed to be your skills through the journey of life, the come in all colours,  sizes and amounts by design that is part of their unique creation. Some flowers are tiny like forget me nots, some are like roses while some are like vibrant sunflowers, some are fragrant and some are not.YOU however are a beautiful flower regardless. So feed your soul and bloom like you were meant to in your own way. Bloom until your heart's content, you are so worth it 💝💖

Paramedic revived 11 minutes after electrocution details his ‘tranquil’ near-death experience

 https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/paramedic-revived-11-minutes-after-electrocution-details-his-tranquil-near-death-experience-c-17301712

What a surreal experience, lucky for him he came back. The silver cord wasn’t cut meaning there is no coming back, he was in the transition phase but not into the light. He didn’t have a life review otherwise he would have mentioned that. 

Wes Penre: Q and A Session # 2 2025

 https://wespenrevideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/QA-Session-2-2025.pdf

With question 2, the silver cord, which is a spiritual umbilical cord has to  be severed before we can leave this world and move around the multiverse. Once that cord is cut there is no coming back here. The spirit world controls that as it does our births and deaths which are programmed into us prior to incarnation. We do have exit points of possible times when we could die but they are not used very often. That depends on the individual at random times in their lives. Interestingly this is something that astrology can warn us of but, it doesn’t predict death. That is after the fact it is picked up in a person’s natal chart. 

Q # 4 casting pearls before swine! Why should Wes go to all his efforts and turn over his work for free? That is absurd and perhaps sour grapes to expect a person to provide their work for free. He has given enough for free already. People do not respect anything given for free and I speak from experience over many years. Never under value hard work and effort, expecting everything for free. He who knows the price of everything knows the value of nothing. 

Q # 5 What we don’t know is how big the soul group actually is. We can’t verify anything about it 100% either. What I learned via the spiritual church many years ago was, the soul groups are large and have at least two layers to them. 

The inner layer is supposedly those that are our parents, siblings, grandparents, our children, aunts and uncles and cousins etc. The outer layers are said to be friend and acquaintances, those we work with and people that are in our lives briefly, for random reasons. What is also common is, people that we definitely don’t get along with are put into our lives as well. This can be traumatic, stressful or harmful to individuals. There is no benefit to us when we are forced to incarcerate with bad people. To believe that it is to help us grow spiritually is utter nonsense. Example, an abuse victim does not benefit from abuse or violence. They are traumatised and can self harm, not to mention living with the ongoing effects of abuse and trauma. Not everyone is able to heal from this either. Most of the information that comes via so called spiritual books and new age teaching is unfounded nonsense. The CIA are the promulgators of the new age movement, and most people never research this, nor will they accept anything other than what they have been trained to believe, most of which is hearsay.

Vision of a mirror glass pyramid with Prince William and his family

 Last night at 9.30 pm, I had just gotten into bed and closed my eyes, when suddenly; I saw a vision of Prince William, and his wife Kate  on either side of a  glass pyramid with the sunset illuminating the pyramid. Their children were standing at the base of the pyramid. William was standing on the left side and Kate was standing on the right side with the children at the base. It was just a split second vision but enough for me to see everything. 

The actual pyramid was a tall slim one with the tip looking rather sharp or pointed and the sunset was reflected on the mirrored pyramid, giving it a smoky glass look which is rather a symbolic image. To put the vision into a language, the pyramid is a symbol of the sun god Ra. The sun setting could imply the end of the current king’s reign and the dawn of a new king I feel this is a transformation that is about to happen. I can't put a time on this, it is up to the universe though. 

William was standing on the left side, which in spiritual terms means the female spiritual energy, the past and bloodline. Kate standing on the right side is implying male spiritual energy and the future, mirroring that symbol and duplicating the power. The children at the base of the pyramid are the base or the foundation of strength and power rising up. 

Are we witnessing the dawning of a new royal family lineage? A transformation from the past to the future of British royalty; which has its past in ancient Egypt in their bloodline genetically, and historically. 

Pyramids are energy enhancers and symbolic of power, manifestation, transformation, solar power, the afterlife and three sides of a triangle. In the vision I only saw the pyramid front on like a triangle. So this implies unity, spirit, the elements, balance, harmony and unity. The trinity in Christianity and  interconnectedness much like the Celtic Triquetra.  

Mirrors:  Hold and concentrate energy, think Feng Shui, truth; as in reflecting back at you. Mirrors can trap negative energy too. Not really any different than any object that can trap or hold energy. So mirrors do need cleansing energetically from time to time. Mirrors hold light which is also energy. Mirrors are also used for magic and scrying to, think of the wicked queen in Snow White and the seven dwarves.   In the olden days any shiny surface was used for divination, especially water or black obsidian spheres. 

Sunlight: Life force and life giving energy. the Sun has been  used in rituals since the dawn of time. Sunlight is purifying energy too, it represents divinity and royalty The SUn rules the 5th house of the zodiac which is ruled by the royal sign of Leo.   

The sun represents enlightenment, power and illumination. The Tarot card The Sun is the 19th card in the Major arcana. representing life force, vitality, joy, birth and rebirth as does the Sun spiritually. Without the sun no life takes place on earth. Sunset represents the end of something and transition. 2025 is a year of transition and that includes the spiritual aspect of life for everyone. 

Spirit would not give me this vision unless it meant something important. Time will reveal all anyway and we know that king Charles is ill and that William in the heir apparent. But what an interesting vision. Spirit sometimes gives me a vision and leaves it to me to figure it out. But sometimes I have to tell spirit to dumb it down for me, lol. The spirit world can be very cryptic, not something that I like, I am more a straight to the point person that likes clear and concise information, and the spirit world knows that. Messages and visions come through ones higher self but deciphering the message is down to the physical worlds brains and the message is open to interpretation.    

Alex's 19th Anniversary

Wow, today is officially my 19th year  6/1/2006  to 6/1/2025, doing tarot readings. In all these years I have performed mediumship, psychic predictions,  hosted a radio show etc, done scrying with wax drawing readings on a spiritual level, done psychometry (a form of scrying and is the gift of Clairtangence), how time flies when you're having fun, as they say. Conducting readings, and mediumship has been the highlight of my life and putting people's minds at ease in very difficult circumstances. 

I humbly thank everyone that has had a reading, mediumship or spiritual healing from me over the years. Although I no longer do spiritual healing due to my own health issues. I am most grateful for the gifts that I have and the service to humanity that I do. I also thank everyone that takes the time to visit my blog/s. 

I hope to continue this necessary service to humanity for many years to come. I find it interesting from a spiritual and Astrological angle that not just is my birth number a 6 but also the day that I started on this journey in life. ^is an important number in numerology, astrology and spiritually.

Firstly 6 is feminine energy, it is the 6th house of the zodiac which covers work, health and service to others. 6 represents love, femininity, nurturing. The 6th sense is spiritual as in psychic abilities. So, nothing happens by chance in this world or any other reality. Everything vibrates to numbers or mathematics. 

Warm and fuzzy hugs everyone 💖

 

Wes Penre: Q and A Session # 1 January 2025

Many people are rightly concerned about Trump being in power again. But I don’t think it makes much difference as to who is in power in the US because they control everything to a degree. I am more concerned about who takes over from Trump if he is assassinated, J D Vance or Musk. 

Pluto is in Aquarius up to 2044 and we are all going to suffer regardless. As for an alien invasion, that is total rubbish and a distraction made up to frighten people. 

Sixth-Century Silver and Gold Sword Discovered in Kent, England

 https://greekreporter.com/2024/12/31/sixth-century-sword-kent-england/

To be honest, I think it’s not right to go digging up ancient graves no matter what country they are in. It’s still desecration and robbing the graves. Archeology is just an excuse to destroy and desecrate graves. Much as I love history and archaeology, gravesites should be left alone. 

Happy New Year 2025

 

Happy New Year and blessings to everyone around the world. May all your hopes and dreams come true.

This year is a year of transformation and transcendence as it’s a number 9 year. It is also the Chinese year of the Wood Snake. The year is associated with spirituality and psychic powers as well as prosperity and transformation. 

Warm and fuzzy hugs everyone

Neurodiversity and Astrology

 https://oxfordastrologer.com/2023/04/neurodiversity-and-astrology.html

I thought that this would be a good article to share with everyone and being  slightly neurodiverse (ADD) myself …oh look a squirrel. I do like to save information of all kinds that is useful until I find a use for it. So I generally have interesting information stored all over the place, just waiting for it to come in handy. Virgo and Mercury and helpful Libra, I like to be useful and share information. 

Atlantis awakening

 Yesterday afternoon I was looking at my tarot cards for myself and as I tuned in to the cards, I heard a voice within me saying, “ Atlantis is awakening within you ”. I don’t think the Atlanteans were very moral people and that doesn’t sit well with me. I don’t know what to make of this message, but I definitely do not go in for any new age stuff. I am strictly spiritual in my own way. 

What a weird thing to experience and just so surreal. This coming year for me is about spiritual transcendence on a personal level. Letting go of the past and opening up to a new experience. Where I go with that is unknown. I don’t generally go with the flow because I am a very cautious individual who doesn’t take risks. So for a change I am open to what the new year brings me on a spiritual and personal journey. 

2025 is a year of transformation globally and affects everyone on the planet one way or another, especially those on a spiritual path. 

A Common Sleeping Pill May Reduce The Buildup of Alzheimer's Proteins, Study Finds

As someone who suffers from insomnia this interests me. I do believe that we will have a significant breakthrough in this treatment in my lifetime. It may start by stripping something from the drug and using a combination treatment. I am only going from intuition here as I know absolutely nothing of medicine. 

Long term medication does harm the liver, but it’s quality of life that matters. 

The original light bulb moment, 124 years of continuous use

 https://www.sciencealert.com/this-is-the-worlds-longest-burning-bulb-and-it-could-outlive-us-all 

Wow, talk about a light bulb moment. In reality though, manufacturers don’t want light bulbs to last indefinitely or many years because they don’t make money if people don’t need to but them very often. So planned obsolescence is a must to keep the money flowing in. But how amazing is the little light bulb to survive 124 years of use. It has seen so much change in technology over the years and hopefully it will continue to function for many years to come. A great testament to its inventor, it makes me wonder how many bulbs were made at the time this one was made and how long they lasted. 

Final call for Christmas humour

 

Christmas Humour

 

                                       

50th Anniversary of Cyclone Tracy hitting Darwin

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_Tracy

Tomorrow morning at approximately 5.30am Australian EST, it will be 50 years since the terrible cyclone Tracy hit Darwin. I had just turned 11 years old at the time and new to Australia. I had no idea what a cyclone at first, and I had only been in the country for 13 months, so everything was new to me. 

On Christmas morning my brother and I woke up and went to open our Christmas presents around 5.30 am, as kids do. We had our little transistor radios with us and were listening to the news when the cyclone was reported. 

I remember the shock when hearing of the destruction and deaths. I felt so guilty because I was safe in my home opening up my Christmas presents, and other children and adults had lost everything. How could I get my head around this? It most certainly put an end to any happy Christmas for me when I knew what had happened, Darwin was flattened.  I ran through to my parent’s bedroom and woke them up, to tell them what had happened. I don’t remember their response other than just being woken up after a few hours of sleep. I remember the song, Santa never made it to Darwin, which came out after the tragedy. It gave me the chills and I couldn’t listen to it without being very distressed. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Never_Made_It_into_Darwin

I will never forget this terrible day as long as I live, and all this week cyclone Tracy has been on my mind, not actually realising it’s now 50 years ago. But just a feeling of foreboding and worrying about a disaster happening on Christmas morning again was bothering me. Let’s hope that is not the case, it’s more likelihood that the energy of the event that is being picked up on and I being very sensitive to the energy. 

W or upside down M on the Ace of Cups

 The upside down M on the Ace of Cups is a mystery to most people, who usually look to the religious mythology, but what if that M is a W? As in the constellation of  Cassiopeia. It’s a female image upside down in the northern hemisphere sky. That makes a lot of sense when one delves into the esoteric mysteries the RWS Deck are infused with deep symbolism.

There are 5 stars in the constellation of Cassiopeia that form a W or from the Southern Hemisphere it is an M. In mythology she is the queen Cassiopeia  and the mother of Andromeda

The Dove in the card can also represent a constellation called  Columba not just the allegorical dove in biblical stories each image within a card is a symbol.  There is much more to the images and mythology that is incorporated into the Tarot deck. Apart from the conventional Christian, Greek Mythology, the Tarot is infused with Astrology, Greek, Roman, ancient Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Persian mythology, Numerology, The Kabbalah, Ancient history and Astronomy. Then there is the language of  colour symbolism. There are multiple layers of wisdom that are only imparted to certain metaphysicians that is carefully guarded. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columba_(constellation)

I do feel there is a strong case for this being a hidden meaning that most Tarot readers have perhaps overlooked. My rule of thumb is always check the skies with myths and if I can't find anything that sounds right then I hold off. But the more I think, and rummage around online I find other things that make me think, oh wait; I need to make notes on such and such. We never stop learning when we step into the realms of the esoteric and metaphysics and you can never know enough no matter how long you have been a reader.     

Five Christmas story elements that don’t appear in the Bible, from the little donkey to the inn keeper

 https://theconversation.com/five-christmas-story-elements-that-dont-appear-in-the-bible-from-the-little-donkey-to-the-inn-keeper-24605

Start looking for the answers in the night sky, it’s astrology pure and simple. The manger, the donkey, the cradle are all astronomical and astrological. It’s all mapped out and predates Jesus by thousands of years. The birth of Jesus is no different to other mythological and historical figures, and the narrative is repeated all around the world in many cultures. 

The Beehive is also another name for the Manger which is connected to ancient Egypt is also in the night sky, it’s also the name for the New Zealand parliament building. 

The donkey in the biblical stories is also astrological, sitting in the constellation of Cancer. It’s called Asellus Borealis which is next to Asellus Australis, both are known as the donkeys.

A little bit more information about the Corona Borealis. ⬇️

https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Gazetteer/Topics/astronomy/_Texts/secondary/ALLSTA/Corona_Borealis*.html

You will notice the mention of three Mary's in the Wikipedia page about the Belt of Orion The bible also mentions three Mary's. Jesus’s mother was a Mary as was one of his sisters, however that sister is the Mary Magdalene, and there is either a double up of her or a deliberate obfuscation of her role and identity. Not all researchers agree on this though. Jesus was an actual king historically speaking and Mary Magdalen ( Mary of the Towers more interesting connections with her in Europe including being alluded to in the fairy tale Rapunzel )  was his sister wife.  The Jesus family had connections to ancient Iran, Parthea according to the writer Ralph Ellis, who has written extensively on the history of Jesus and his family bloodline. The books are available on Amazon. Raplh Ellis also informs us about Jesus being an Astrologer as well as a high ranking Freemason. 

I am finding myself drawn to  study this along with my astrology studies. It's a lot of fun when you delve into this and it's great to learn new things and it is so much better than sitting in front of the tv for me.

I am the sort of person that could happily divide my time between nature and a library and I just love to share information with likeminded people.  As I come across more information I will update this and perhaps you may be curious about the amazing information. The power of the age of Aquarius is unfolding as we live and breathe and this is written in the stars. 

 

Tarot Card Of The Month: January 2025, Knight of Wands

 

 Insight, Quick action, Quick thinking, Travel  Inspiration and foresight

Element: Fire

Zodiac Signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius 

Mars goes retrograde in January

Welcome to January 2025 Tarot card of the month and a brand new year.

January's energy is fast, enthusiastic and quick thinking mercurial energy combined with the element of fire and Aries energy, which is dynamic action.  We see flashes of insight and communication to kick of the month. There is also explosive energy involved for January, I feel cold steel  as in weapons here, this also covers naval vessels in the news.  January has a strong military energy, as we know this is to be expected from here on in. 

Trump hits the ground running and ideas may be only half formed. January's energy is all fired up, as they say and youth crime is highlighted. There are challenging aspects politically, in business  and finance for January and communication needs to be addressed clearly. 

Capricorn rules the start of January, and the ruling planet of Capricorn is Saturn, the teacher (restricting energy, its effects are slow and long lasting) discipline and leadership. There are two cardinal signs here which adds power to the mix Aries and Capricorn, so this is pointing to leadership issues. 

Capricorn is the ruler of the  10th house of the zodiac, and 10th house is about your reputation and public life. Aquarius being the ruling sign for  the second half of January and the ruling planet is Uranus, representing the freedom urge, which covers  the future, yet the knight on the card is facing left which is looking to the past. So this is something from the past being brought into the current world circumstances. Which is a political issue returning to public awareness. I do feel that a challenge is being issued on a global leadership level. Aquarius is the ruler of the 11th house of the zodiac and is about friendships.

Military power as I said is part of the theme for January with Ukraine/Russia, Israel/Palestine, China/ Taiwan and the waters in Houthi conflict zones. The US will be up against anyone that doesn't agree with them. This includes faction fighting within the US government that strongly disagree with what is proposed. 

Children are highlighted for January so please keep an eye on your children, especially for accidents, going missing, getting lost, youth violence and murders committed by youths. Keep an eye on children near water too. The energy of Uranus is sudden and unexpected (which can be violent) so please watch your children like a hawke including teenagers getting into danger. I also connect poverty and war  this warning for children.

Angry young men are definitely highlighted with violence and murder, so you need to talk to your kids, it's too late when the police get involved. How to deal with violent youth will be covered by the media though I do not see a decent outcome to crime prevention and sensible sentencing for violent crime. 

2025 is a transformative year in many ways, there is a strong spiritual and religious energy for the year ahead. Focus and forward thinking and action is a must to transform the world into a more positive place. That though will take many years to achieve. 

The card shows a clear blue sky, no clouds or luminaries are present. This means no clouded thinking and the road ahead is clearly visible. There are disruptive energies afoot from the Eastern hemisphere to the Western hemisphere indicated. This is political and emotional energy which is a volatile combination and not what we need for communication and peaceful understanding. Please think things through very carefully and choose your words wisely because there is no room for error. Hot Mars energy is messing the communication channels.

Facts and only facts is the only way to examine all that takes place this month. There are deliberate destabilising attempts being employed with the deliberate attempt to sabotage hopes of peace.

Do not accept what is mere  hearsay, especially in the media and even from the Trump camp. Political factions are keen on causing deliberate destabilisation to sow confusion among ordinary people to keep the masses divided. It is wise to sit back and wait for more information rather than react without the full facts and the truth.    

Hearts and minds and being manipulated during January and people are being played for suckers. Hot fiery tempers are not helpful, they just add fuel to the fire. So leave well alone, step back and wait, you will be glad in the long run or you may just end up in court. 

More protests are highlighted in January, again I stress  people are being manipulated. Ask yourself who benefits from this disruptive behaviour? Look behind the smokescreen. Revelations will shock and astound so please be very careful. 

Some people have a need for adventure in January, inspiring them to get outdoors and traveling. Mountain climbing may be popular though care must be taken for sudden changes in the weather like heavy snowfalls, strong winds, heavy rain etc. In Australia, or other hot countries factor in the heat affecting you and make sure you have plenty drinking water with you and block-out sun cream.You may find yourself trapped on a mountain, so check the weather beforehand and keep monitoring the weather while you are doing outdoor activities in the countryside. If possible carry a distress beacon and let your loved ones know exactly where you are going and when you expect to be home. Any delays, then phone and keep loved ones updated. Make sure that you have a full charge and phone credit too. 

I wish everyone a safe and peaceful 2025

Blessings and warm and fuzzy hugs 🤗 

Alex

Merry Christmas 2024

Wishing everyone a wonderful festive season and all the very best that life can bring to you in 2025. To me Christmas is about just being with those you love, whether it is family or those that we care about, animals included.

It's an opportunity to relax if possible and have some fun. It is also an opportunity to thank people for their hard work, service to others  including postal workers, trades people and retailers, those that rescue and look after animals, charity workers and all of those amazing people that work tirelessly for others, including parents and carers. I thank you for your service.

Thank you to everyone who read my blog this year and takes the time to read my psychic predictions and Tarot Card of the month. It is truly appreciated, thank you.

Blessings and warm and fuzzy hugs

Alex
 

Selenite Crystal

 

Selenite is a great crystal and especially when it's a generator crystal. I keep one in my bedroom and one in my office. Some of the properties of the ethereal selenite are, removing toxic energy or blocking negative energy, blocking negative entities and psychic attacks especially when  used with black tourmaline in energy grids. Cleansing the aura and balancing the chakras are part of its uses, as is enhancing one's psychic abilities and is used in healing work. 

Selenite is good for preventing nightmares, calming the mind and de-stressing. It is very important in spiritual work, use Selenite for emotional healing, mental clarity and focus. Selenite is connected to the crown chakra and the 5 chakras above the crown chakra. A word of caution in regards to the 5 chakras above your crown chakra. the first three are safe to use however the 4th and 5th can be used for connecting and communicating with non terrestrial beings or alien beings. I am not in favour of communicating with such beings and I feel this is not a safe or healthy pursuit.   

Caution should always be employed when dealing with the unseen world as carelessness can be very harmful to one's mental health. Do not mess with things you cannot control or understand, one should only communicate with one's higher self, anything or anyone communicating with you via meditation must go through your higher self as a safety filter.  Even then it is up to your discernment as to whether to allow the communication. This beautiful crystal is have guardian to keep by your side in this activity and other powerful protective crystals.

I strongly recommend you use rose essential oil on your main chakras, wrists, both the palms and backs of your hands, on your ankles, the top of your feet and the souls of your feet  when meditating, or doing any spiritual work because rose essential oil has a very high energy and is very good for spiritual connection and protection. Blue Idaho Spruce is the highest energy of all the essential oils but it may not be available as easily as Rose. Rose is my favourite due to the fragrance and its spiritual uses.

Use Selenite to cleanse and energise other crystals, it is a must have crystal in your crystal tool kit. It is a beautiful crystal just to own with is loving warmth, purity, ethereal power and appeal. Do not get Selenite wet as this will damage the crystal. 

You will see a list of Australian crystal retailer websites on my blog under the headings of crystals and bling and crystals. Enjoy your crystals and their energies in your life. 

Warm and fuzzy hugs, Alex

Miss Ruby's Doggie Advent Calendar And Spreading Her Love

 

I bought the first doggie advent calendar this year for Miss Ruby. I have just never been lucky enough to find them in the shops until this year. So every morning Ruby has her Schmacko treat when she wakes and an extra seasonal treat. I sit on the floor so that she can see the little doors being opened and sees the treat inside. She gives the calendar the vacuum cleaner sniff of sniffs to examine the calendar and wonders what it's all about. The problem is what happens the day after the treats are gone. Will she think she is being gypped out of treats? I can assure you she definitely is not lacking in treats and goodies, she is spoiled rotten every day. 

Ruby wishes to send her seasons greetings to all fur babies  around the world spreading her love. Ruby hopes one day that all animals (fur babies) of the world will have a better life and have equal rights enshrined by law globally to be free from hunger, sickness, homelessness and abuse, and that no animals ever suffer. 

Find your mantra

 Each person needs a good mantra to recite to themselves and to live by. To uplift themselves, restore their spiritual equilibrium and raise their spiritual energy or vibrational frequency. It’s not for others to benefit from, it is for you, because your soul needs nourishing. It is for you to ground yourself when life throws you a curve ball that pulls your heart and soul down. 

We all know suffering, we all know loss, we all know what it is like to be disempowered, lonely, hurt, and alone even when we are living with our family members. We all know what it feels like when someone says hurtful and cruel words. Having a mantra to live by gives us that boost to lift ourselves up and keep going when we feel downtrodden, stressed and discouraged or disregarded.

Living with grace and inner peace, with detachment from negativity is a tonic that we need each day. Give yourself the gift of a mantra that stops the negativity in its tracks and empowers you like medicine. Giving you the power to face the day with detachment and humility. 

It’s not easy by any means but with constant practice we can achieve the best possible results. Be your own spirit physician and uplift your soul. 

Making your own mantra is important because it carries your unique spiritual energy or frequency, it’s meant for your use only. 

                                                           

Repeating a mantra three times is important and makes it powerful. The number three being significant in spiritual matters. It relates to wisdom, harmony and understanding. Not just that, it relates to the three levels of consciousness. Completeness,  divine wholeness and perfection is another interpretation. The number three also represents spiritual guidance and protection. Rituals are said three times like the expression, third time’s the charm. 

Ancient Civilization Of Halflings In The Dungeons Of Kabardino-Balkaria

Clearing space on my iPad and came across this from 2022. Rather thought provoking and it reminds me of the ant people the native Americans people spoke of after the cataclysm. Our planet is full of underground tunnels that go right across the world from the Middle East to Europe for example.

Wes Penre: Q and A Session 2 December 2024

 https://wespenrevideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/QA-Session-2-December-2024.pdf

I will reserve commenting on this other than to say I am not in 100% agreement with past lives and hypnosis. I am very against hypnosis and it can be influenced by suggestion etc. 

The first Anniversary of my father's death

 It a whole year today since I lost my father, it still feels so surreal to me. I vividly  remember the phone call and what I was doing at the time. His passing was expected but still it is difficult when the moment arrives. 

It's the anniversary of one of my favourite uncles too. My father's brother in law died in Scotland on the same day.  I lost 3 uncles and my father all within 3 weeks and it was a rollercoaster of shock to me. 

Memories are something that I have to treasure along with the laughs, we do have the same sense of humour which will always be a bond between us.

  

The Mother Crystal

 

A few months ago I bought a few crystals and this particular amethyst jumped out at me. The photo doesn’t do it justice though. When I got it home and put it in place, I did a cleansing on it and I heard the word, Mother. I keep hearing this often whenever I look at the crystal, this is a powerful little crystal and I am very fond of it. I get the feeling that it has a strong protective energy for me. Amethyst is a feminine energy and I feel the power of the divine feminine emanates from this beautiful crystal. This is quite interesting because as we move into 2025 feminine energies will be strong all year as we move into a new cycle for humanity. 

I have never felt such a strong connection to a crystal like this before. I do feel the energy of a crystal when I put my hand close to it. This energy feels like a strong tingling sensation similar to when doing spiritual healing. So this is how I intuitively feel the right crystal for me, the energy frequencies are important when buying a crystal. So if you are able to feel the energy emitting from a crystals that is a great sign. 

Home fragrances impact indoor air quality, and the health risks are alarming

 https://www.earth.com/news/home-fragrances-impact-indoor-air-quality-and-the-health-risks-are-alarming/

A better option for fragrance is using an oil burner with essential oils and not a fragrant oil which is chemicals. I have used an oil burner since the 1990’s and the fragrance wafts through my house. I have one in my office and one in my kitchen and family room. Never leave an oil burner unattended for safety reasons especially if you have children or fur babies. 

I do have some scented candles too though which I don’t use too often. I did invest in air purifiers 4years ago to help with health issues and they are running constantly. I highly recommend investing in good quality air purifiers if possible. 

You can buy Frankincense and myrrh essential oils easily, these also help with spiritual cleansing. Cedar wood is a great essential oil to use at Christmas time it’s one of my most used oils. I use my oils for spiritual reasons mostly but I also use them for relaxing and promoting a calming environment. Please be very careful with using essential oils around pets because some are toxic to animals. 

I only burn incense outside after a lady told me about how harmful it is to use indoors. So I am very careful with that. I like to burn incense at my back door and my front door creating a cleansing and spiritually uplifting environment. 

I buy my essential oils from Essentials of Australia https://www.escentialsofaustralia.com/ the prices are fantastic and Max has good quality oils. I used to buy his oils when he lived in Canberra years ago. I recently reconnected with him thanks to John from Bonvale Connections when he retired as John had recommended him to his customers. Check out the prices of the oils and you will be delightfully surprised.

Wes Penre: Q and A Session # 1 December 2024

 https://wespenrevideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/QA-Session-1-December-2024.pdf

I can’t say that I agree with Wes on who the ascended masters really are. Originally he said they were mostly archons and some humans. I sure as hell wouldn’t have anything to do with ascended masters, especially because they are under the control of  beings that are no friends of humanity nor truly spiritual beings. Wes has said in the past, that humans have to adhere to En-Ki’s school of thought to ascend and that it was a sort of  like a draconian system. There may well be some benevolent beings in the ranks, and they may or may not know what is really going on. Also Wes did tell us that these human ascended beings don’t get to stay permanently in the so called spirit realm, they do come back again to reincarnate. We have the right to refuse to reincarnate, it is not in our best interest to be in a physical form, because we are entombed in the flesh and our spirit is very suppressed as are our natural spiritual and psychic abilities. 

Humanity has been deliberately put in to a living hell in the third dimension and this was not to benefit us from the beginning. The purpose being to traumatise us and harvest our loosh. 

There is no way that a benevolent god would do such a terrible thing to humanity. I also feel that a good soul would always be a good soul, it is what is our core essence is after all. 

Life on this earth can be very painful for those that are good because the people that are negative in their moral character sniff out anyone that is good or sensitive or different. They home in on them,  bully and mistreat the innocent victims. Even children in primary schools are capable of sniffing out a vulnerable child and bully them mercilessly. This is because the core essence of the child is not good to begin with. Not all beings incarcerate from the “good” side of the spirit world. There are lower realms that we call the dark side, think about psychopaths and other dangerous people otherwise the world would not be the way it is. This is free will choices being made, to become a bad person is easy enough if the will is there. 

As for psychic people, not all of us want to teach anything nor are we all wise and all knowing on spiritual matters. I don’t consider myself a teacher of anything, may be a sort of way shower or just someone that likes to share what I know. Not everything can or should be shared either. Because some people are not ready for spiritual wisdom. Some people may also use this spiritual knowledge in the wrong way and use it to manipulate and control others. 

Jewelry and Crystals

I am a lover of crystals, bling and jewelry and I often love to share my places to buy these things. 

Here is a quick link to a few of my faves for sterling silver rings and earrings. I also have a few fave places to buy crystals and I have never been disappointed with the crystals or the service.

I am just a customer and I do not get paid to promote anyone and never intend to. I am just the sort of lady that likes to share  things. Happy treasure hunting peeps.
