INTRODUCTION TO LENORMAND CARTOMANCY
with Joy Vernon
Monday, October 1, 2012. 7 - 9pm, $25.  The petit Lenormand oracle is a 36-card deck that developed in the nineteenth century as a game and a fortune-telling tool. Lenormand cards each contain a single, simple symbol, not the complex layered symbols of tarot. Many readers consider them to be less psychological and more straight-forward than tarot in the way they answer questions.
This class will start with a brief overview of the history of Mademoiselle Lenormand and the cards which were named after her, and then we'll learn some basic techniques for working with this  | | Robespierre at the fortune teller Lenormand |

ANCIENT MYSTERIES & THE PHOENIX
by Bruce Johnson
 The Greek philosopher Herodotus describes the spectacular Phoenix or Firebird, in his historical writings. The body of the Phoenix was said to be covered in fiery purple feathers, with a tail of alternating red and blue feathers. The light colored head had a characteristic and distinctive tuft of feathers on the back. The Phoenix lived for 1000 years, died on its nest of incense and flames, and then was reborn from its own ashes.The Firebird represented to the ancients- immortality, initiation into the mysteries of death and rebirth, spiritual transmutation, and cycles of time.The Firebird was sacred to the sun, and the symbol of the deathless soul. The Phoenix as the celestial ruler of all birds lived in the heavens, and was the highest expression of the astrological sign Scorpio. The Phoenix was a universal symbol of the periodic cycles of creation and destruction in nature.Like the Dragon, the Phoenix is one of the four sacred creatures of the Chinese.Read more ...

OCTOBER ASTROLOGICAL UPDATE
by Marci McCaffery
In a year of accelerated change, it is important that we don't lose ourselves in the highs and lows. May we stay centered in gratitude and acknowledge the gifts in our lives. No matter how things around us may seem, we must remember that we are immensely powerful. Fear is the opposite of love. When we focus on love, we become invincible to fear.
~~Michelle Kare
This month we are advised to ground anything uncomfortable into the earth for transformation. The period between late September and early October may be considered a critical time, based on the intense concentration of planetary aspects. The aggressive, fiery Aries Full Moon conjuncts with Uranus in Aries and opposes the Sun in Libra, on September 29th. Imbalances and the need to awaken to our own collective shadow are highlighted. Pluto joins into the mix and forms an exact square at 7 degrees cardinal. Anyone with planets at 7 degrees of a cardinal sign (Cancer, Libra, Capricorn or Aries) or within a 5 degree orb will be especially sensitized to this impact. This is an enormously significant pattern involving two powerhouse planets that can usher in dramatic changes.

HUMAN SOFTWARE
with Ellen Hughes, author of ADVENTURES IN ALTERNATIVE HEALING

ABUNDANCE IS MINE!!
by Norma Mitchell
 Do you feel somehow empty - that something is missing?
Are you fearful you'll never get what you really want?
Do you give yet not receive?
Are you under-appreciated or unsatisfied with your job?
Do you have the money you want?
When we think of abundance, many of us tend to think about our material world abundance first. Although money is important as one of our tools to help us create a successful life, true abundance is more than money. It is our well-being with Spirit, self and others. Join Norma Mitchell on 1st and 3rd Thursday Evenings from 7 - 9 pm, to create prosperity in love; balance with self and others; health in mind, body, emotions and spirit; enjoyment of life; and true abundance of Spirit's gifts in all areas of our lives. |
