Anhydrite was first discovered, in 1794, in a salt mine near Hall in Tirol, Austria. In this occurrence depth is critical since nearer the surface anhydrite has been...

As a child my Aunt Marie would put on these great parties for Holloween! I loved her parttirs and came to appreciate them as I grew older. Thinking back on those fun memories I really resonated with being with my family and celbrating in that way. Trick or Treating I did not resonate with. I always felt there was something false about celebrating Halloween in this way. As a child I did not understand why this tradtion was so popular. As I learned more about the different holidays and how they were celebrated I changed up the way I celebrated this night.  What I have learned about this holiday is that it is a celebration of abundance and the realization of what ideas I have planted and that which has come to pass.  With that realization is the celebration and the Feast of Abundance. Feasting and celebrating the New Year to come! In doing this I include those wonderful beingss of Light who consistantly assist me through the year.  I light candles and in...

Energy Healing Enhanced this Time of the Year   I had the pleasure of meeting a truly awesome healer on Friday night at the Elevated Delights Drum Circle, her name is Rose. After hearing her description of what she does I asked her to come down to Elevated Delights on Saturday to do a treatment on me so I could describe it to you. The picture above shows you the Crystal Layout she created for me. Rose uses a Crystal Weaver Pendulum to assist her with what the person needs placed on them and around them.  As she started placing the crystals I started to feel relief and release through out my physical body. I started to feel like I had more room within me and around me as she continued.  Before the healing my eyes felt like I had pins going through them. My neck was hurting and my shoulders were very tight. I was having a pain in my left side near my solar plexus. I also had been feeling like I wasn't being heard as far as conveying messages, I was frus...

Obsidian – Category – Volcanic Glass Fracture- Conchoidal - describes the way that brittle materials break when they do not follow any natural planes of separation. Moh's Scale – 5-6 Luster Vitreous Optical Properties Translucent Chemical Formula - 70–75% SiO2, plus MgO, Fe3O4 Color – black, Dark Brown & Dark Green Easily Obtained Chakra – Root Geographic - Obsidian Cliff in Yellowstone National Park, the Big Obsidian Flow in Newberry Crater, Oregon, or Glass Mountain in Northern California. Britain, Italy, Mexico Obsidian is dense volcanic glass, black in color. Glass, volcanic or manmade, cools quickly from a molten liquid without forming crystals, the building blocks of the minerals making up most rocks. In nature, erupting a glass flow requires an unusually viscous magma, one that has both a high silicon dioxide (silica) content and a very low water content. When viscosity is high and heat loss is rapid, crystallization is inhibited. Obsidian is rich in iron and magnes...

Foot Chakras - Red This the area that I want to write to you about today. Last week I was telling Tina that my feet were cold and have been cold for a while. She said it is because I am having a hard time moving forward in my life. I thought about that this week. Our feet represent our path and how they feel is a reflection of how we feel about our path.  That being said I did some research about the Foot Chakra. There is a chakra at our feet that allows the energy from the Earth to flow through us. When we look at this chakra at our feet we may see gray wisps of energy flowing from it and away from us. The gray wisps of energy that we see in the inaction in our lives that keeps us in one place for way too long! Blockages! I focused on the area of my feet and started to breath in light for the surrounding area. As my feet 'lit up' I found that my feet warmed up and I was able to make decisions to move forward with some projects that I have set aside for a while...

Quartz Crystal Category Silicate Mineral Formula – Silica - ( silicon dioxide , SiO 2 ) Crystal Symmetry - Trigonal Color - Transparent, sometimes with cloudy areas. Crystal Habit – 6-sided prism ending in 6-sided pyramid (typical) drusy Streak - white Geography – Brazil, Madagascar, USA, Can be found world wide Moh’s Scale 7-8 Quartz belongs to the  trigonal   crystal system . The  ideal crystal shape  is a six-sided  prism  terminating with six-sided pyramids  at each end. In nature quartz crystals are often  twinned , distorted, or so intergrown with adjacent crystals of quartz or other minerals as to only show part of this shape, or to lack obvious crystal faces altogether and appear massive. Well-formed crystals typically form in a 'bed' that has unconstrained growth into a void, but because the crystals must be attached at the other end to a matrix; only one termination pyramid is present. Virtues Physical/Em...
