2 Crystal Pendulums & 5 Crystal Elixirs Remaining!


labradorite and lapis lazuliI have just two crystal pendulums remaining, which are pretty spectacular and magickal ones awaiting the right partner.

They include a Lapis Lazuli point with copper/silver and the Third Eye Chakra symbol on it AND a Labradorite point with copper/silver and the Throat Chakra symbol on it.

These are really beautiful pieces and I realized that I had mislabeled the Labradorite when I first posted it as Fluorite, which I have no idea why, since I was thinking Labradorite, but wrote Fluorite….I chalk that up to feeling like there are two of me currently and multiple realities existing. 😉

Each will be Reiki cleansed, charged & individually programmed and will come with their own velvet pouch. $6 shipping & handling will be added at check out.

When you purchase your crystal pendulum you will receive a link to some helpful hints and ideas on how to work with your new friend, if in fact you don’t know how, or simply want some support. So please be sure to include your email address so that you can receive that.

Anyway, if either call to you you can order them direct here:

Lapis Lazuli Pendulum – SOLD OUT 

Labradorite Pendulum – SOLD OUT

And if you’re interested in Crystal Elixirs, I have just 5 now remaining (NOW SOLD OUT SINCE POST).

Crystal Love Offerings for Christmas & Beyond – New Guardians Welcome


There’s a lot of things that make me happy, but one of those things that really warms my heart is when I help unite Crystals with their Guardians.

All of the Crystals from the first offering, except for only 3 of the 7 remaining Reiki Stone Sets, moved on within two days. Even my two largest Crystals I’ve ever had, at 150 lbs each have journeyed forward. Some that I didn’t post, but past students from my Crystal Workshop had been drawn to, also moved on. So beautiful to know everyone is where they are meant to be and I can see how the journeys these people are on, mirror my own.

As we change, everything in our lives may change. I am always excited about the creative possibilities of that and sharing those co-creative energies with others.

With Christmas close at hand, you may find these to be wonderful gifts to self, or might feel they are perfect for a loved one. I have found these Crystal friends to be of most amazingly beautiful and powerful assistance in my own life.

Again, all Crystals are offered for sale at cost, as it’s important to me that they get to the right guardians more than anything else.

That said, since I am offering them for what I purchased them for, minus sales tax that I paid, I will need to add in credit card processing fees, if you choose to pay via this method on Paypal, and shipping costs. (Paypal processing fees: 2.9% plus $0.30 USD of the price.) Or, you can send money direct to me at Paypal to avoid the transaction fees. Message me at tania@taniamarie.com if any call to you.

emerald52) Raw Emerald – $11 – SOLD

Emerald is known as the “stone of successful love” bringing with it loyalty, good fortune, abundance, growth, peace, harmony, patience, love, honesty, integrity, eloquence, enhances psychic abilities (known as a stone of prophecy), stimulates greater mental capacity, strengthens memory, clarity of thought, brings awareness of the unknown to conscious recognition (great for the deep delving and uncovering we are processing through right now), imparts wisdom and reason to discern and understand it all, inspires deep inner knowing, promotes truth (reveals truth or falsity of all things) and discernment, and are supportive in successful business and relating, as well as for the creative arts – magicians have used them in spells and rituals to promote harmonious and fortuitous practices.

emerald2As the sacred stone of the Goddess Venus, it enhances and preserves unconditional love, unity, balance, hope and partnerships of all kinds. It also helps focus intention, raise consciousness, and draws in, as well as incites, positive, focused actions that enhance the ability to enjoy life to the fullest. It is well known as an aid to growth, and assists people who are not so well adjusted with this world, to adjust, thrive, and prosper. The green of Emerald is closely tied with the vibes of the natural world and the plants of nature.

It is most effective on the Heart Chakra because it has the ability to access desires held deep within and provides infinite patience, inspiration, healing, and harmonious balance. Emerald promotes physical, emotional and mental equilibrium so that all aspects of life can be unified.

pendulum33) Lemurian Seed Crystal Pendulum with Rainbows – $20 – SOLD

Many of you continue to message me about the Lemurian L.O.V.E. Seed pendants which are no longer available, but if you have fallen in love with the powerful little Crystal spheres, you may find yourself drawn to this pendulum. I had two, and still one remains with me, but this is the last one I have available. It is quite lovely and very sweet in energy.

Lemurian Seed Crystals: are crystals that are reputed to have been seeded by the Lemurians – an advanced and peaceful, ancient civilization based on the consciousness of love and connection – to teach and guide us in this time. Lemurian Seed Crystals have been programmed to hold and transmit messages of unconditional love, conscious connection, and equality, while they assist us in remembering who we really are. They are very supportive, positive, and life affirming, as they enhance and encourage inner development and connectedness. They are also great for dream work and dream interpretation. Lemurian Seed Crystals have a very pendulum2Yin or feminine energy, and for all their power are more gentle-feeling energetically than Yang/masculine crystals. They are very powerful tools for meditation, healing on all levels, and are excellent for clearing and balancing all chakras. There are vast universes inside each Lemurian Seed Crystal that is home to many beings of light and unique spiritual information and wisdom, as they are connected to inner earth, the earth’s surface, and the stars. Lemurian Seed Crystals were planted in different areas of Brazil, millions of years ago, for the purpose of guiding a future generation toward healing enlightenment known of in ancient days. During the last days of Lemuria, it was decided to plant, or seed, crystals programmed to transmit a message of oneness. The Lemurian Culture’s center of consciousness was the emotional and spiritual dimensions of existence, unlike our modern world’s mentally based focus. They had a deep connection to the heart, which allowed the expression of unconditional love for the Divine pendulumand each other. Lemurian Seed Crystals also help us to maintain our connection with our spiritual source and teach us how to be both individuals and integral parts of the cosmic design. This is mirrored by each seed crystal’s energetic connection to all other seed crystals, while on the individual level, simultaneously doing its own work to pass forth their knowledge and programming for the earth, in preparation for the transitions and shifting changes in consciousness. There comes a responsibility, to honor and work with, when you and your Lemurian choose one another.

The sphere shape of round pendulums is potent for utilizing the most complete and whole energy of the crystal.

auralite24) Raw Auralite ~ Stone of Awakening & Regeneration – $24 – SOLD

Definitely a stone for personal development that fits wonderfully with current re-focusing back on the self, as this is where the real change takes place.

Auralite was formed during the Meso-Proterozoic Age (a time of emerging multi-cellular creatures) by Meteoric impacts about 1.2 billion years old. These impacts brought rare metallic ores to the Earth’s surface that were integrated into the structure of Amethyst Crystals that were growing.

Just being with these Crystals is powerful to initiate healing. But because of its powerful presence and energy, people share that it is a Crystal to work slowly with until you get used to it.

And it does feel different than some of the “lighter” crystals I know people are drawn to. Likely because it is a Crystal that reminds us that in order to expand and truly ascend, you will need to do the inner, deep work. So it brings you back into the body, while also keeping an anchor of guidance from Source within you. This helps to ground and integrate the physical (as your form will need to change along with your mind)  for a New Earth reality of the heart that unifies all of it.

So, it may take a little while to become accustomed to it because of its ability to help strip and release layers of energetic “debris” from your consciousness.

It’s said that Auralite 23 takes Super 7 to another level. As we accelerate, so too do the friends, tools, and knowledge accelerate in mirror to this. We will always call to us the perfect supportive guidance to reflect where we are and this will be a constant evolutionary process.

And having a Crystal (many of which are Elestial) that embodies so many minerals, but especially the rare existence (not seen until now) of Gold included in Quartz, let alone the Amethyst variety of Quartz, is bound to bring about some astounding effects.

And they ARE even stronger than regular Amethyst. Not only will Auralite really open and activate the Upper Chakras such as the Crown and Third Eye, but as mentioned, I truly feel how they draw you deeper within at the same time, so you aren’t taken to a place that resides outside of the body, but into an embodiment of very inner focused body and heart awareness experience that takes you into account all levels mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

YOU become the sacred temple that you are and your Divine Blueprint – or nature of your consciousness – is activated.

They bring a sense of calm and tranquil harmony, but all the while bringing you into greater awareness of your true self and spiritual purpose beyond the day-to-day world that preoccupies your mind. It is then up to you to accept and integrate the energetic link it provides and when you do, higher awareness and telepathic connections will get stronger.

A lot of personal growth, rebalancing, and spiritual healing is possible with the assistance of Auralite and this includes an inner purification process to cleanse what is hidden and trapped within so you can come to love yourself.

auraliteAuralite has many things to share and teach including: release of old patterns of anxiety, fear, judgment, self-defeat, resentment, depression, and dissolution, brings rise to solid new potentials, optimism, and hope from the lifting of these veils, increases intuition, psychic sensitivity, and ability to see truth, supports integration that leads to release of chronic problems within the body, activates balanced kundalini awakening, stimulates eternal now awareness, telepathy, telepathic viewing, soul travel, lucid dreaming, past life regression, opens to angelic realms, good for meditation, emotional peace, karmic release of patterns, teaches the Oneness of All, opens the mind and spirit, helps release time restraints and expectations so you can relax, decreases stress, nervous anxiety, tension, and panic attacks, uplifts and comforts spirit, teaches the law of attraction, cools down anger so you learn to think before speaking/acting, and helps you to put into action the knowledge you have.

Auralite really supports all of the energy centers of the body, but especially resonates with the Heart, Third Eye, and Crown Chakras, helping to integrate their wisdom through the body in deep and practical ways. It has the ability to “read” into your soul and acts as a highlighter that will reveal where you’d benefit from clearing and improvement, and then guides you to ways to assist this.

In so doing all of this, Auralite is like a Twin Spirit to its keeper, always having your best interests/well-being in mind, and always willing to tell you the truth from that place that knows the benefit sometimes of tough love to teach you true self love and responsibility.

Auralite is one of the Crystals that truly embodies the essence of the New Consciousness, supporting each of us who feels called by it to awaken and activate the sacred way of being that this is reflecting.

Andara Info For 7) and 8): 

Andaras are not for the frail of heart, as they are extremely powerful and work on you.

seafoam andara (1)Andaras are created by the natural heating of their elements – they are primarily composed of Prima Matra (first matter), monatomic metallic elements found in Etherium powders – to extremely high temperatures that transmute to produce a glass-like material. Monatomic elements have been confirmed with such properties as being able to pass their vibrational energy to other objects, being first-matter elements, and being used over the years for healing and raising of consciousness, to name a few.

The Prima Matra is the result of combining an inter-dimensional implosion taking place billions of year ago with natural factors such as heat and pressure later. This resulted in the crystal glass with enhanced properties of its Etherium Powders that resonates at the same proven frequency as the original Prima Matra.

seafoam andara (2)Andara Crystals are known as one of the master crystals with healing vibrations that are from another world. They are thought by some to be the highest vibrational crystals because they contain Prima Matra (which combines 70 minerals). In general, they support us to move multi-dimensionally through space and time, to increase our awareness and raise our vibrations to access universal knowledge and connect with beings from higher realms, to detoxify negativity and balance and cleanse the chakras, assist our ability for energy channeling, powerfully heal, and accelerate spiritual development, awareness and manifesting abilities. In addition, each unique Andara embodies specific properties that focus their energy and our work with them. They are translucent, luminescent glass-like crystals of beautiful transparent colors and share an energy simply not experienced from any other material. Their energy is an anchoring of bleed through connected to Mu/Lemuria and “other” multidimensional realms.

seafoam andara (3)7) Seafoam Andara from the Sacred Land with Rainbow – $50 – SOLD

Sea foam Andara Crystals – representing the primal waters of our conception, these Andara crystals resonate the original blueprints of creation as possibilities. Within its effervescent depths one is transported to the timelessness of one’s being, with infinite potential and promise. Seafoam have some of the attributes of ALL Andara Crystals making them rare, unique, very special and potent indeed!

 

luminescent green andara (3)luminescent green andara (2)8) Luminescent Green Andara from the Sacred Land – SOLD

Luminescent Green Andaras from the sacred land work with Archangel Raphael for healing and focus through the Heart Chakra. Also concentrates on concrete science, knowledge and research, and is connected to the Temple of Truth. Works with Ascended Master Hilarion in helping to use our mental powers and works through this Andara to expand the mind and bring it into alignment with the Heart, helping to bring new consciousness, spirituality, accuracy and justice into all areas of discovery. The work done by both is connected through the healing bridge of the heart of this Andara and to the heart of you. This is a very powerful healing Andara that creates balance and harmony.luminescent green andara (1)

starbrary59) Lightning Strike Starbrary Quartz Healing Crystal from the Pleiadian Star System – $85 – SOLD

Starbraries are rare, precious, extraordinary, but completely natural Quartz formations that have been individually encoded by various, distant Star Systems throughout the Universe – at least 6 different ones who have left ancient crystal records of maps, histories and legends of their people. Their energy is undeniably different.

They hold information from the peoples of these Star Systems that positively influenced human evolution. They have come to be known as Starbraries and are identifiable by unique glyph-like symbols, markings, or sometimes geometric patterns along their shafts (occasionally also on the main face) and usually will also have a doorway/portal or key. And even if they don’t have keys, which they may not, they always have a shape that makes them very easily and comfortably held in such a way that helps to access the opening to these many layers of information stored within.

They are like encyclopedias of Cosmic knowledge.

lightningstrike1Much like other kinds of record-keeper crystals, you unlock the doors by aligning your fingers with them and this facilitates journeying though the multiple layers of informational experience. The information received was meant to be a permanent record to help humans to rebuild Earth, in the event of catastrophe.

These Starbraries were scattered in chosen places across the globe so that a variety of people everywhere could have access to them. There are sets of these crystals that are like chapters of books, or series of books that you will want to ask the order in which to read them. Once you welcome one into your experience, you’ll likely receive more.

The main difference between Starbraries and Lemurian Seed Crystals is that Starbraries have been encoded “remotely” by civilizations outside of our solar system, while Lemurians have been embedded by peoples that actually “inhabited” Earth long ago – seeding/planting them in a sand bed in Brazil for us to discover thousands of year later.

They have to both be deciphered, but the Starbrary language is much more complex, partly because they contain such huge amounts of information within each, which is also considered “crucial” to the human race’s evolution and survival, along with the planet’s as a whole. Times of extreme crisis, major shifts, or global need may herald many of these showing up more and more in the hands of lightworkers, visionary leaders, bridge workers, and Earth keepers.

lightningstrike2Lightning Strike Starbraries, which are very rare “spirits” of profound change that have had their information downloaded/embedded into them using the intensity of a bolt of lightning as a conduit. They are identifiable by jagged, zig-zag scars along their shafts where the lightning struck. Lightning Strike Starbraries can be from any of the Star Systems, but not all Lightning Strike crystals are Starbraries.

It’s thought that the cosmic travelers imbued their knowledge into the crystals (that were exposed or purposely placed on the surface) during electrical storms over Brazil thousands of years ago.

The Lightning Strike adds another quality to the crystal, which is easily understood by what we know of lightning to symbolize. These crystals help to connect, balance, clear, and unify all of the Chakras, as well as your energy field. They will also increase your personal vibration, starbrary4taking it to a much higher frequency that actually assists access to information found on Master Starbraries. While accessing the higher dimensional frequencies, you also are supported in releasing deep, old emotional patterns at the cellular level, which helps you along your path with greater clarity.

Some of the Lightning Strikes will appear more fresh and others will have been healed through the eons – each of these also having different energies. The more fresh ones will help you to work with very traumatic and dramatic change that needs to happen quickly so it will herald rapid clearing and be experienced more intensely. The healed Lightning Strikes (like this one) are softer and more gentle, and avoid unnecessary negative effects of instant results. They assist with old beliefs, past childhood or life carry-overs and help you to repattern things at the core.

Both are all about change and herald flashes of enlightenment. If you get one of these, you are ready for, and asking for, transformation in big ways.

Crystal Magick and the Journey Within: A Creative Exploration for Personal Alchemy (New Workshop)


August will host a new workshop experience to explore together. Yay!

My plate has been full, but what I’ve come to see is that everything has its divine timing. That said, I’ve been wanting to offer this workshop, and others, for quite some time, so with the recent multiple requests, I embraced the Universal nudge that the timing was now. The collective is ready, so I’m shifting my “plans” to embrace readiness too.

That being said, I’m super excited about this experiential workshop, which will be offered ongoing.

Here is some of what you can look forward to in this workshop:

This workshop is for the creative, imaginative, and inspired free thinkers and integrative visionaries who want to experience the magickal world of the Crystal Kingdom and your Inner Realm for empowered living and activating greater potentials in simple and fun ways. This is done in a flowing way to allow each person’s unique voice to be heard and valued, which allows greater freedom to explore deeper.

People who are drawn to my workshops are not people wanting to learn structure, rules, and dogmatic approaches. But they are people who are wanting to delve into the discipline of “unlearning” in order to unleash their true gifts. They are ready to explore the nature of their own uniqueness through the different modalities and perspectives available, and come to create their own journey through the process of remembering and awakening what is within. My role is to gently guide this process and facilitate experiential activation, which takes place in subtle ways simply through the energetic exchange we share.

Another of my Crystal Altars

Reverence and use of crystals goes back to the dawning of civilization and have been used for centuries for their healing powers. Their connection with specific parts of the body and its organs come from traditional Western and Eastern Astrology. 5000+ year old ancient text formulas from India’s Ayurvedic records and traditional Chinese Medicine claim healing with the use of crystals that are now used in modern medical prescriptions. The Christian Bible refers to crystals over 200 times, crystalline structures have been found in the ruins of Babylonia and in the ancient Egyptian and Chinese tombs of rulers, and many of the early civilizations of the Earth (Mayan, Aztec, American Indian, African, Celtic) utilized quartz crystals in sacred ceremonies. These electromagnetic synthesizers that were once only a royal and priestly experience, are now a gift available to us all.

gaia returns

How I first found Gaia yesterday on 2/11/14

It has been quite the powerfully charged couple of days and it is feeling like something has shifted, not just personally, but in a collective way since 2/11. Synchronously, these shifts I’m feeling align with a couple of momentous experiences that took place that very day.

As many of you know, my sweet Russian tortoise, Gaia, has been “away” since Friday, December 27th, 2013. She suddenly disappeared from our yard and I didn’t see her until yesterday when she appeared just as magickally as she had gone. I knew where ever she was, she was where she needed to be and trusted that her choice to go was important and one to honor and support, leaving Divine unfolding to do its thing.

To many it would be thought that she had decided to hibernate, as that is what tortoises naturally might do at this time of year. But I never actually believed this was what was happening – at least not in the way that “other” tortoises and turtles do. I saw her departure as a self-induced state of physical suspension where she was able to focus on a collective mission at hand, which she could only do in this state. She had journeyed into Deep Earth – Gaia went to the depths of Gaia! And would not return until it was “mission complete” or there was reason to.

If you know Gaia, like I know Gaia, you’d come to understand quickly that she’s one determined being with the kind of tenacity and strength that will out-do anyone a 100 times her size. It is a great honor to be in the presence of such a magnificent being. I have great reverence for her and gratitude for all that she has been to me in this life and beyond.

Since Gaia had never actually hibernated in all of the time I’ve had her for the last 6 years, this was an unusual occurrence, in any event. But nonetheless, I released worry and trusted that all was well, however that may be. I didn’t need to know any more than I already did.

And so life went on this last month and a half, while I kept the communication channels open in case Gaia were to need anything or have a message for me.

During the last couple of weeks, I started to notice Joy, my rabbit, shifting from her usual spots in my office where she stays with me all day, to laying in the spots only Gaia used to hang out – under my desk near the CPU unit and all of the electrical wires and power cords. Gaia communicates in codes and binary, and likes to be near these kind of energy/power sources.

So, I started to notice Joy may be either in communication with Gaia, was missing her, or relaying a message to me. Like with anything, learning to interpret messages, signs, dreams, feelings, visions, etc. is a process. 😉 But my gut felt it was something in terms of communication – either communicating with, or awaiting communication from Gaia.

Then just this past Sunday, the 9th (2 days before Gaia’s appearance), I had a dream with Gaia. Gaia, Joy, and Nestor have all communicated with me in the past via dreams with some really potent accurate and clear messages that would “wow” you. My dream time is a very potent realm for me and one of my prophetic areas of life where I receive messages, do work, and prepare things for the physical world. The challenge always lies in the interpretation, but whether or not I immediately understand the message, it always ends up becoming clear later.

And I DO have very clear and detailed dreamscape experiences.

But on this night one of my dreams involved Gaia. She appeared in my dream and I could feel her working her way through something. I realized she was inside the bottom of the box spring mattress and had been wrapped in a maze of thin sheets of felt-like material that covered the bottom of the mattress and finally had found the hole from which she had gone through in the first place, and then emerged and started marching out of the bedroom and into my office. The word that stuck out was “veil” when I was seeing her surrounded by these thin sheets and then breaking through the “veil”.

I immediately was excited to see her and could tell she seemed disoriented and out of it. I brought her food in case she was hungry after being away for so long. She ate a little slowly and then seemed to gag, as her body was still needing to slowly assimilate from not eating for so long.

Then I awoke. I immediately felt the dream had been symbolic. That Gaia was trying to message me about something. Since “veil” had stood out, it at first felt to be her sharing that something was shifting and clarity would be coming – something would be revealed and no longer hidden or an illusion.

I still feel this is part of the message, although have now come to see the dream was also prophetic and her way of letting me know she was on her way back to Earth’s surface and to me. The reason the original message still holds is because I know Gaia was doing some very important collective work and there was a big shift not only I, but many others I spoke to, shared feeling had happened on the 11th – the day she appeared after her work was done. And many had expressed feeling something had been lifted, or a block removed.

(A little fun side note: I used to have a mattress and the box spring mattress had a thin felt-like sheet that was stapled across the bottom. Joy had ingeniously decided to bite open a hole in the bottom of it big enough to jump up into, and used to run along the bottom of the box spring mattress and lay suspended there above the ground, held by the felt material, like a bunny hammock. LOL! So there was a connecting factor to interpreting Gaia’s message to me that I see now later. She also likely had messaged Joy about her return and reminding me of this story of Joy, was to let me know she was fine and like bunny’s that burrow into their warren mazes, Gaia too would find her way out of the labyrinth from which she came.)

So then we fast-forward to Tuesday the 11th, a day that marked my having an appointment to get my final sacred tattoo. It was already a celebratory day, but little did I know how much bigger the celebration would get.

To add to the story and timing, I originally had an appointment for February 5th, but it had to be moved by my tattoo artist, and so now became 2/11. For me, personally, this aligned with being an 11/2 Master day numerologically, and collectively, also an 11/2 Master day. I also had previously had a plan to meet up for lunch with a dear friend of mine in LA before heading off to my tattoo appointment – a birthday gift to me from me. However, being that I was going to be away for 10 days, and I was falling behind on work I needed to get done before going, my responsible voice stepped in and said it was best to cancel my lunch date and stay home. This is not like me to cancel play dates, but I have learned I need to listen to my internal messaging, as there is always a reason, even if not fully grasped as to what it is at first.

But I did for some reason feel there was more to the reason to be home, although had no idea what it could be. Needless to say, I did end up getting everything I wanted done that day before I had to head out for my drive to LA and my appointment, and as I was rushing to eat some lunch before I left, instead of sitting at the table or eating in my office, as I might usually do, I decided to just stand at the kitchen counter so I could be quick.

As I was standing and eating, my left eye caught something in the distance outside. Now, to understand how divine this is, not only in timing, but where I was standing, there is only a very tiny portion of the yard that can be seen through the sliding glass door from this position. But the tiny portion, was exactly the portion I needed to see at that moment.

I noticed something round on top of the cedar chips along the perimeter of the yard. And suddenly I knew. It came over me like a warm rush, chills, and overflow of love – Gaia had returned! In that second, before I could even make her out fully yet from this distance, the entire meaning and bigger picture of it all rushed through me in full understanding, respect, honor, and gratitude, without my needing to describe it.

gaia returns (1)I started to tear up and joyful cries flowed. I then rushed out the door and ran over to greet my friend who had returned. And there sat Gaia, all covered in dirt, basking in the sun and resting from what must have been an arduous journey to get here from where she came, and to arrive at just this timing. (Another interesting fact is, as you can see in both photos, there is this grayish area among the cedar chips. This is a thin felt-like sheet that lines the perimeter where the cedar lays on top. Another reflection of the thin felt fabric – veil – in my dream)

I could tell she was out of it, disoriented (just like in my dream), and needing time to rest and integrate. So I telepathically communed with her, looked to see if I could find a hole where she might have emerged from, but could see nothing, let her be, but went inside to get some kale (just as I had in my dream) to put beside her in case she was hungry. When I returned, she had moved a little from where I had found her, as you can see in this photo, but she was not hungry yet.

I was overjoyed and felt not only excitement to see my friend, but was excited for, and proud of, her for the work she had been doing, and also grateful that she had returned in time to see me off before this momentous tattoo venture I was now going on. Everything felt so tied together, and since I don’t only see my tattoos as personal, but collectively connected, I again was breathing in the totality of the reiterating reflection of this through Gaia’s return and the connection with what I was about to do.

I knew the rest of the day would unfold seamlessly, that I was being guided and supported, and that what would come to be my “Spiritual Skin,” would definitely be “More Than Skin Deep“. 😉

And so I was off to my tattoo appointment (arriving there in an hour without an ounce of traffic), feeling the expansiveness of what had shifted and was activated this day. I had been feeling an expansion was upon me/us and that full click of the switch seemed to have ignited. Even when I got to my appointment, I found that James, the vegan tattoo artist here in LA, was in the process of expanding his shop, had now another artist sharing his space, and soon to be a piercer, as well as the breaking down of walls to push the shop out more and sharing a common space with the hair dresser next door. It was also the first time I met James’ partner, who was herself sharing of their daughter on the way in a couple of months – hence in “creation” expansion herself.

And all flowed more than well. My tattoo coming to life in the flesh in the magick and beauty I had envisioned and I couldn’t be more pleased with what is currently a new favorite I wear on my body with great respect and honor.

lapis-lazuliI know that all of my loved ones were with me, and it was also the first time I had brought with me one of my crystal friends along for the tattooing journey – a new and amazing! Lapis Lazuli that has become a staple part of my daily AND nightly experiences. I held my Lapis friend during my tattooing session, as he fits so perfectly and comfortably in the palm of my hand.

It is important to add that this Lapis Lazuli was also a birthday gift to me from me, which I had just purchased on February 6th. Until now I hadn’t owned any single Lapis. I just had a Lapis beaded necklace with Lapis Ankh. But I had an intention to one day have a special piece I could work with. And when I was at a local crystal shop just a couple of minutes from the house picking up something for a friend, at the last minute this Lapis Lazuli instantly stole my heart and I only needed to pick it up once and we were wed. 😉

Lapis Lazuli is an amazing stone of royalty and symbol of the starry night that always reminds me of my Egyptian roots. It’s a stone of inner truth and power, openness, mental clarity, intuitive and psychic awareness, magick, courage, manifestation, trust, hope, communication, good for writing and automatic writing, protection, and dream work – helping to bring information from dreams into waking life with wisdom.

Immediately I knew this Lapis was special and have slept with him under my pillow every night since bringing him home. The moment I did take him home and held him to my Third Eye, I was instantly provided clear insight on the last missing piece of a project I was working on. And that first night, and continuing forward, I had these enhanced prophetic, and detailed dreams. I only have to think of my Lapis and I get these clear images that flash in my Third Eye and bright light that illuminates.

I was with my Lapis the night Gaia communicated as well. 🙂 There seems to have taken place, an upgrade and enhancement to all things that were before, but in a new dimensional realm of experience.

And even clarity on symbolism in my tattoo, just a couple of days before getting it done, came through in magickal ways with the presence of my Lapis friend. (I will likely do a separate post on my tattoo another time). For now, I’ll just share the image that is now worn proudly on my skin and that I am absolutely in LOVE with.

The image is of the triple rabbit symbol, but I wanted my rabbits to be more organic, with each rabbit being unique, and each having an otherworldly/human quality. They are layered over a Full Moon, which they are circling round, and that is spinning out of a galactic vortex, exploding with tiny magickal stars. And inside the center sits a sacred Ogham tree letter that holds layered meaning.

All of my tattoos are done in black and shades of gray, but this is the only tattoo that we added white to. James asked what I thought of that and instantly it was like he was reading my mind, as this was to be a special piece in so many ways, and by pixie-dusting it, was just the brush of enchantment it needed.

And if you recall from a previous post where I mentioned my getting this tattoo, the area where it now lives and breathes, had also shown up in a dream sequence experience where I had received an implant underneath the skin that felt to be preparing the energy. Interestingly, the implant was a shiny silver-shaped disk, which would mirror the shape of the Full Moon that now resides there – a Full Moon that will also be mirrored in tomorrow’s Full Moon in Leo on Valentine’s Day. 🙂

So now my tattoo is in healing, but there is another magickal piece to this story.

On Sunday, the day before I had the dream of Gaia, I was working on completing a tattoo design for a client. And that night, after I was done, I noticed that my right, drawing hand (same right arm I got my tattoo on) was sore right where my thumb joint connects to the rest of my hand. The design was the one I posted last, Galactic Butterfly Activation. Little did I know what all was really being activated. Lol! And makes sense, given the power of this symbol and the meaning it holds.

The next day, Monday, I awoke with more pain to my hand in that thumb joint area, but it was extending down a bit and in connection with the middle finger. And by Tuesday, it was really in pain and now had extended down along the top of my forearm and was getting numb as well. It hurt a lot to use my mouse and to type, or to write. So I was wondering if I would need to stay away from things for a long time (thinking good I’m going on vacation Saturday), as I don’t want to permanently damage one of my main tools I use for my work.

I remember it was at it’s worst when I was in the tattoo shop, and I massaged it whenever I had the chance. But there was great pain when I moved it and a lot of numbing.

But the next morning, after getting my tattoo on the very same arm, I woke and all pain was gone, leaving only a tiny stiffness in the joint and has continued today without the pain and numbing I had felt.

Was it the tattoo? Was it the old clearing and releasing? Was it the needle working like acupuncture? Or was it simply an energetic shift that was taking place on all levels through a culmination of all things, including the power of sacred symbolism to shift on a DNA level?

What ever one believes or doesn’t, I am living these experiences and their meaning for me is all that is important.

Yesterday was another extension of expansion that unfolded while I was teaching an intimate Reiki 3 Master Teacher Workshop. I found the timing of this to also be powerful, as originally this workshop wasn’t to be until March 5th, but had been changed by request. And coming the day after Gaia’s return, my tattoo, and before the Full Moon, was quite a day to say the least.

I was so happy to have Gaia arrive back for a Master Teacher training and the day of Trinity energy, mirroring my tattoo, was reflected in three women coming together – a new student, a past student, and myself – could that not also be like the Maiden, Mother and Crone? And I had my three soul companions around – Gaia, Joy, and Nestor.

Our experiences during class were like a seamless flow of synergistic weaving that was impeccably orchestrated. And even our conversations extended into the realm of the “three” energy, as we discussed the dynamics of the triangular field of experience from black, to white, to gray.

And it was now the second time that Joy did not physically join class, which again was part of the expansion that is taking place. Last class she had prepared the energy of the room, but left when the students arrived. Yesterday, she stayed in my office the entire time. I know it is the next level of our connection between myself, Gaia, Joy, and Nestor that is being messaged to me for how the work we will be doing is now to start unfolding.

They will always be with me, connected to me, and supporting me (just as I will be them), but we will not have to be physically together to do that. More and more we will just trust in the open channels and telepathic love we share that bridges all boundaries and empowers beyond measure.

But back to Gaia.

I’d like to finish this post with the most endearing, amazing, and precious moment of reverence and love I’ve had with Gaia – I’m tearing up right now writing this. The depth of meaning to all that has been unfolding and that does in my daily life, in general, I can’t possibly express. Yet, I know many of you understand in your own unique ways with all that you experience. So some things are simply left unsaid.

This special experience happened this morning. Since Gaia returned, we washed her up and brought her indoors. The first evening she spent on her heating blanket, then fell asleep on the cold tile, likely needing to moderate her body temperature back in stages. She remained out of it and still not eating. Next morning she spent on her heating blanket and still no food, but later during Reiki training, she came marching through and made her way to my office and I later found her asleep under the bottom of my wall tapestry of  Faery Queen Astranaithes – also known as the magickal Dragon Witch.

This morning when she woke up I brought her to her heating blanket and then put out some more food. This time she went to it and slowly ate several bites, taking her time to assimilate it. Then I watched what she wanted to do next, as I made smoothies and golden raisin, cinnamon scones in the kitchen. I saw her walk toward the door to the yard and looked at it, then went back to her heating blanket. I had a feeling she wanted back outside.

I went to go sit with her and check in. And this is when the most magickal moment happened.

I won’t be able to explain the magnitude, but I’ll just share what I experienced. I sat there with my hand, palm facing up, next to her, as I telepathically spoke to her. My hand started heating up like when I do Reiki and then Gaia slowly reached her right, front leg up and forward, letting it come to rest across my index and middle fingers where they connect to my palm. And she kept it there, as she then turned her neck towards me and stretched it as far as she could, looking me directly in my eyes, while we sat there – “holding hands”.

I was overcome with emotions hearing her saying thank you for everything, for trusting, and supporting her. All of the mutual respect, honor, gratitude and love we have shared through the ages all washed over us both in those minutes and we also were clear on how this journey would need to continue. I understood.

We were not only a human with her tortoise companion – leg in hand, but we were two souls meeting in our wholeness, as we recognized everything in that moment that was us and beyond us.

Tears rolled, as she then reached forward into my hand with her left, front leg and then slowly put half her body in my hand while again stretching to look up at me, asking me to lift and hold her up, as she once did for me. I held her to my heart and then knew she wanted back outside and wanted me to carry her there.

meandgaia1My special song is playing right now in the background, as I finish this. It’s a song I use to travel to another realm, many times with Nestor, Joy, and Gaia – a sacred and healing space. Perfect timing to be completing this story, as my CD is ending with song #11, which is my favorite for inner journeying.

And so Gaia has been outside since 8:30 am this morning and just a few minutes ago, while writing this, I went to check on her – finding her marching over the area, back and forth, where I had found her.

I came back and continued writing a bit, but felt to go check again.

I just returned and in full tears of a feeling beyond words, as the song is now ending, I can share that Gaia has returned to the depths of Gaia – our connection and understanding deepened in mirror to the depths she will be traveling. Again, her timing is impeccable.
