Greetings All,

I just ordered a 4' white, fiber optic Christmas tree from KMart (aka KaMe-apART) online.  Remember the old aluminum trees (the good vintage ones are $600 now!)?  This Kmart tree reminded me of those old trees from my childhood.  Let's just hope it arrives before Christmas.  I don't have any lights up either.  I love looking at them but can't figure out how they work.  Okay, I know how they work, but do I have to run an extension cord out of my front door?  If so, how do I keep out drafts and burglars? How do I keep the lights attached to the house or tree?  And most importantly, can all this be accomplished in 15 minutes?  Oooh, where do those cool light balls come from?  You know, the ones in the yards on Friendly.  I love those.  And how do those work?  I am mystified by the electronics of Christmas.  I hope my tree comes with good directions.

Thankfully I understand holiday shopping.  Here's what came in last week.  Tons more stuff arriving this week too!

Saturday, December 16, 11:00am – 6:00pm - Tarot Readings with Maricarmen.  Maricarmen has been on the Enlightenment path for seven years, developing her intuition and learning ways to lift the spirit. She was introduced to Tarot as a child and has been reading for others for three years. Having experienced several unpleasant readings herself has encouraged her to combine her counselor training with her psychic gift. Using the Robin Wood or the Morgan Greer Tarot decks she will assist you in changing negative and uncertain situations into happy, positive experiences. Also a Reiki Master energy worker, she can link both her reading and healing talents; her goal is to bring you clarity, comfort, peace and understanding, based on the information you receive through her readings, to help you be prepared to handle a situation. Reiki is a natural and safe method of spiritual healing. Please inform Maricarmen if you would like to link both practices. Readings are $15 for 15 minutes. Longer sessions are available upon request. Advance reservations are suggested.
 
Saturday, December 16, 12:00pm – 6:00pm – Create Your Own Earrings.  Opal Moon artist Tamara Brown will assist you in choosing the right stones for the perfect pair of earrings for you or someone special.  Tamara will have a large collection of gemstone beads to which she will add her own sterling silver trimmings and flair. Earrings made while you wait!  If you have other projects for Tam, she can take them and do them later.  Today will be just for making earrings.  (Prices vary.)

Saturday, December 16, 3:00pm – 6:00pm - Candle Magick Workshop. You can make candle magick complicated, if you like- but why?  True, there are many factors that can play into the art of candle magick but spells don't have to be complex or difficult to be effective.  In fact, the simplest spells are usually the most effective. One of the simplest of magickal arts is candle magick.  It is simple because it employs little ritual and few ceremonial artifacts.  To begin with all you really need is a single candle, matches and your own personal power.  In this workshop we will go over a few basic things you'll need to know when using candle magick, as well as ways to enhance your candle magick in the future.  The first part of the class will be instructional and the second part will be actual spell casting with candles.  Materials will be provided by instructor (accept for writing material if you plan on taking notes).  The cost of this three hour workshop is $20.00.  Sign up in advance, as there will have to be at least four people attending in order for the workshop to take place.  Workshop will be lead by Lee Ann Donaldson.
 
Sunday, December 17, 1:00pm - 5:00pm – Intuitive Readings by Laurie.  Laurie came into this world a mystic and has spent her life looking for the Truth which interweaves, underlies and upholds this manifest world. She is clairaudient, clairvoyant, clairsentient and occasionally precognitive. Laurie was attuned to the Angelics in 1994 through Cynthia Rose Young and has been communicating freely with Them since that time.  Laurie is a clear Channel for the higher Beings of Light, sees past lives and their affects on the present, has the Gift of seeing and clearing attached entities, energy cordings, implants and demonics, and reads the energy of objects, people and places. Each session is different, is directed and guided by your personal Angels and Guides who often identify Themselves giving personal messages, answering questions and often include healing on various energetic levels. Information and advice can include anything from diet and health to the cutting of Karmic cords to repairing tears in the energy fields to Soul's Purpose in this earth experience.  All Sessions are taped and offered in the Presence and Protection of Divine Love and Truth.  Readings are $15 for 15 minutes. Longer sessions are available upon request. Advance reservations are suggested.

Hope you all are staying sane and enjoying the holiday Spirit.  Did I mention that John wants to celebrate Festivus?  I think he just wants an excuse to air grievances ;-).  Or maybe to show off his Feats of Strength.

Blessings,

Tavane
