Full Moon in Aquarius : Aug 3rd 2020

This is ALL about Justice and Balance. Tomorrow’s Full Moon is a Godsend for anyone who loves and embraces change, learning, growth, the Universal fight for freedom and the belief in equality and unity. Woohoo!

Charles Altamont Doyle

I’ve been researching the art of Charles Altamont Doyle. He was probably not what we, today, would call a Master but his work was very touching and telling. I feel that he influenced his son, Arthur, more than that son ever admitted! The image above is called Saint Giles, his bells. The one below is […]

This was recommended to me forever ago by my mentor, Leslie Kenton. I’ve used it in many ways. Even on the dog! I used it today with warm water, coconut oil and mandarin + geranium essential oils to soak my hands and feet. You MUST buy a product with the “Mother.” Research for yourself about […]

Moravia

What month are we in? It feels like November and my birthday! Presents galore. What I’m loving (as well as the wonderful gifts) is the fact that they come with just a tiny clue or two. And I’m being trusted to do the research myself and make up my own mind. OK. I might’ve got […]

Late Home. Again!

Oh Well. I’ve learned how to save a meal now. And this gives me more time to virtually annoy whomever is here with me. David Renwick. Brilliant Writer.
