Medicine Cards: Coyote: The Trickster

Coyote medicine card In the Navajo and some other cultures, it is an insult to refer to someone as coyote.  Greed, thievery, gluttony, and being obsessed with roadrunners are all part of the shadow medicine of Coyote nature. This person may prove to be a teacher for others but he will do so by negative example.  Robert Oakes writes in Coyote Medicine: Coyote often talks either backwards or in riddles.  Coyote is about waking people from their slumber; shocking them if that is what is necessary to get them to open their eyes.  Coyote Medicine is about stopping people from acting out of habit.  All too often we follow tradition to the point where it loses meaning and significance.  According to Coyote nothing is sacred and all things are sacred; all teachings are inherently wrong and inherently right. Coyotes are teachers, but not in the straightforward way that most people expect.  Coyote teaches us by his folly and misadventure.  Coyote is the mirror that shows us our shadow and makes us laugh at the same time.   Continue reading

What I attracted today by not paying attention

I’m batting 1,000 today in miscommunication! First, I attracted a 50% overcharge by not clarifying the price of a job ahead of time. Then I went to edit a client’s file for a second time and found my first edits had not been saved. Then I edited an odt file in Open Office, periodically clicking the icon to save. It showed it saving as an html file. Afterward I wanted to save it as a Word doc and did. Now the html edited file is nowhere to be found.  LOL I see today I’ve got Mars, Venus, Uranus and Chiron all ganged up in my 12th house, aspecting my natal 12th house Venus, Mercury, Sun, Jupiter, Ascendant and 6th house Neptune, Moon and Saturn. Today is either going to be a party or a clusterf*ck. I’ll love it no matter what it is.  I did get a fun bit of entertainment. Being an “A” name, often I’m No. 1 in my friends’ phone list, so I get their butt dials. I just got to hear an illuminating 8 minute conversation between two friends in a car about other friends we know. Wow.

The best valentine — don’t make him choose

Valentine 2015The topic of advice queries this week seems to be “let’s give the boyfriend/husband an ultimatum — it’s me or work.” Whether you’re together 5 years or 50, let each partner spend time doing what gives them the most fulfillment. Don’t pout if they don’t choose you, even on so-called holidays. That doesn’t mean they don’t care. They’re just loving their work or hobby so much all else fades into the background. Find something for yourself that does the same for you.

Six months same as cash? Make sure your payments are applied correctly so you don’t get charged that interest!

dollars in handMake sure your payments are applied correctly so you don’t get charged that interest! You buy an item your fave store and choose the 6 months as cash option. Then you buy another items and choose the 9 months same as cash option, then another at a 6 months same as cash option. You get your statement and make one payment thinking it will be divided between them all. IT WILL NOT. I just noticed Best Buy is still not applying my payments correctly, despite me sending separate checks for separate promotions and detailing on the check exactly what promotion I am paying toward.  It does not matter.  Best Buy will apply payments to the first ending promotion first.  Govern yourself accordingly.

Lawyer Argues Police Have No Right To Stop You At DUI Checkpoints

At any checkpoint, most people will silently roll down their windows, and willingly hand out their license and registration and allow themselves and the inside of their car to looked upon with unknowing eyes. But, not Attorney Warren Redlich, he claims that police officers cannot lawfully do anything but tell you to have a good night if you present your driver’s license at the window.  Have you ever been pulled over at one of these “DUI” checkpoints, even if you had not been drinking? Probably! Most of the tickets handed out at the checkpoints do not even have anything to do with drinking!  Warren Redlich and Jason Osborn have found a way around the law by holding a sign that read, “I remain silent. No Searches. I want my lawyer,” and his license and police let him pass without asking any questions.  Continue reading

What is the “energy shift” anyway?

ask believe receiveI have to smile when people talk about the energy shift as if it’s something new and happening outside ourselves. My experience is all that’s happening is that whoever is experiencing the shift has finally reached another level of awareness about That Which Is and Has Always Been. We think it’s new because it’s new to us. We’re just finally more able to hold our dial on the higher frequency is all. Ask to be expanded, ask to see the bigger picture, the higher view. Then relax into it no matter how it appears.

Why I do not believe suicides go to hell

A friend posed the question: Do, as some believe, those who commit suicide go to hell?  She wrote: “Ppl who commit suicide have already been through, or is going through something worse than hell! And if it wasn’t gods plan his suicide wouldn’t have worked. No, I don’t believe ppl who commit suicide go to hell.”  She asked what I believed.  I believe no one goes to hell.  My experience from communicating with those who have passed is that there is a period in the astral world of reflection on one’s life.  It’s a period where those who’ve had strong beliefs about what happens after they die, EXPERIENCE whatever they’ve been taught to believe. This can feel like hell to those who are uneducated on the topic and don’t know what is happening.   Continue reading

I live in my mind way more than I live in my body

daydreaming decohubsDay 8 of The Giant Headcold.   I’m awake. Coughing but feeling good, breathing. My body’s digging the sleep and I’m enjoying trippy dreams. A dose of Mucinex to clear the chest. Taking Cecelia Avitabile’s Immune Tincture which is basically the same as the Buried Treasure ACF Fast Relief Immune Formula, along with vitamins C, D and E every few hours. Layout for the March magazine is getting done little by little. Times like this when my body gets knocked down a bit, I realize I live in my mind WAAAAAY more than I live in my body. Yay for being in control of my own thoughts.
