Well I am working on a long post on how to use Playing Cards for divination so please bare with me.

YOGA; Nadis, Chakras, Prana & Kundalini

Ansuz

I have heard this rune be called the God Rune. This rune is very close with the protection that Odin Gives his Followers.

Communication rune-From personal to technology. Both formal and Informal. Books words, pictures, art, sounds. Etc.

I find this rune to be connected to our anscestors and people we greatly respect. This rune has shown me how to connect to them and lead me information to my own past.

Sometimes in divination I have seen this rune show me that myself or the person I am reading may have a lack of Voice or authority. Speaks to much or to little. Or there Ancestors.

I hope this helps people!

The important things in life

A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining open areas of the jar.

He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “Yes.”

“Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things – your family, your partner, your health, your children – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter – like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else, the small stuff.”

“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party, or fix the disposal.”

“Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”

Not Waiting for Anything

When starting to practice, be eager like a deer trapped in a pen seeking to get out.
In the middle be like a farmer during harvest not waiting for anything.
In the end be like a shepherd who has brought the flock home.

Paltrul Rinpoche's Sacred Word quoted from Dalai Lama, How to See Yourself As You Really Are

Door way to Life and Death

The door I am going to talk about first is the door way of death and Life. Their is not just one doorway or two door ways.. No it is not that simple ... Not at all.

Here is an example...

Three years ago a Man's Wife died.. The wife did not pass away properly she is in limbo or still on earth. Perhaps you would say she is a spirit. Three years later the Man dies and when he dies he finds out his wife has been following him for the past three years.

He sees a door in front of him but not the actual door in the hospital. In the hospital this door is seen just as a plain door to the Bathroom... But to him the door is made of fine wood but it has cracks and its handle is cold. This door way was on the door was closed. He walked and when he saw his wife he pulled her to him and try to force her through the door... Why did he do such things?

The Wife struggled. She had learned that she could only go to her door and her door was locked... Was it locked because she was not ready or was it locked because she had something else to do...

The Door open and a strange shadow waiting for him but he called to the Wife to come instead of him.. Was it for her really? She pulled forth for the shadow had the negative vibe she felt so often now.. Thanks to her death she had become more of an receptive for such things.

But the wife of the ghost struggled and pushed her Husband into the Door. The Shadow screamed for he did not want him.. even though truly it was his door. But the shadow want her purity.. Her innocence or kindness. Later is was found to the Wife that her husband was cruel and was not what she thought he was... What was he.. well that is for her to only know. She still wanders .. Is she wondering due to finding her door or is she wondering to find something?

It was later said she found her door when she saw her door it was pure white and when she opened it she found herself opening her eyes and blood and water around her body was cold and she saw a bright light and she cried out and found herself looking into a women eyes as though she was the precious thing in the world.

We all have door ways the doorways to death are mysterious and yet not very understandable. Was the Man going to hell? Was the wife actually missing something for her to pas on.. Or did she had to wait the right time to be reborn? Death leaves us many mysterious. And from this we learn something and ask more questions because of it

Now you may disagree on this but take a moment and think if your own door way has a property you have yet to unlock?

SEA SALT

Sea salt is a common occurrence with me. I use it in cooking as well as rituals. Did you know Feng shui has connection to Sea salt? 

With feng shui Sea salt improves stability and purifies chi. 

The sea salt connects to our blood to our sweat and tears. Which is why it has such a powerful influence in our inner chi. The salt will draw in the chi in the room. Taking away any stagnant or stale chi. 

Place a bowl of sea salt(Two table spoons in a small ramekin dishes) in north east or south west of you residence . Change every two months. 

Sprinkle it on the floor(before you go to bed vacuum the next day or throw it out the home.). I usually use a bowl of sea salt to conjure the desire effects of using the salt.

Pan

Pan is the cheif.. He is Hermes Son. a noisy merry God, the Homeric hymn in his honorcalls him. But he was part animal as well.

Pan has Goat horns and Goat Hooves instead of feet.

he was the Goatherds God... And the shpards god.. And also gay(meaning Happy) compainion to the Nymphs.

When they danced.. All wild places were his home, thickets and forests and mountians. But Pans most Favorite place was Arcady...

Arcady where he was born. He is a wondeful musician .. upon his pipes of reeds he plays a melody as sweet as a nightingale.

He was always in love with one of the nymphs or another.. But he always was rejected supposedly because of his uglyness..(Intruth Homer did not describe how Pan Looks he actually looks quite charming.)
