Music, Hello everyone, and welcome to intentional,
spiritual living with Brian.
This is season three, EpisodeSix. We're on the homeward
stretch of our 10 episode seasonI can't believe it time is and I
know I say this at the beginningof every episode, but time is
just flying. Today's a specialepisode for me, kind of a goofy
reason, but I like to shareI started this podcast in 2020,
(00:38):
during the god, awful covid era.
And as many of you know, but ifyou haven't listened to season
one, so we all went through thatwhole shutdown, and I had just
opened Raven's cauldron likefour months before, and then we
had to turn around and shut downand figure life out, as you all
(00:58):
know. And so that's when Istarted this podcast, when I sat
in this exact chair, so youmight hear ambulances in the
background and cars,because I'm at the old store,
because it was a closed at thetime, and now this is crooked
cottage escape rooms. And soit's a special time for me,
because it kind of goes back tomy roots where I recorded it and
started it, and I'm so glad tobe back doing it again. So
(01:19):
enough about that. So here weare, season three, Episode Six.
Today we're going to talkcontinue our 10 part, building
your crystal toolkit section.
And today we're going to betalking all about ocean Jasper,
a powerhouse gem that you cannottell one piece from the next.
It's very hard to identifysometimes and very, very
(01:42):
relevant for the Gen Z folks andyounger of the world, and
relevant for us all, but it'sreally wonderful, and we'll talk
about why that is. Secondsection we are going to talk
about how to make spell powder.
And that might sound a littlecrazy to you, spell powder is
something that I kind ofinvented decades ago that has
been very powerful me for verypowerful for me, and I like to
(02:05):
share all this stuff with youguys. And so that's what we're
going to do today, is make spellpowder go through a very basic
prosperity spell, come up withsome basic ingredients, and then
walk through how to do thatspell. And then this has
everything to do with that ageold question of, what do you do
with the contents of a spell? Doyou put them back into the
earth? Do you bury them? Do youburn them? Do you throw them
(02:27):
away? Do you do nothing withthem? All that kind of stuff?
And we're going to talk aboutthat and and how to keep re
energizing the spell with thisspell powder they're going to
make. And finally, we will doour three card Tarot pull and
see what the universe wants usto know and has in store for us
for the weeks ahead. So with nofurther ado, folks, let's get
started.
(03:02):
How All right, let's get rightinto it. So we have went through
five crystals, and this seasonto start curating and building
our crystal toolkit, if you'refollowing along, and today,
we're going to talk about oceanJasper and why you might want to
add that to your toolkit. So tobegin, let's talk about a little
(03:25):
bit of the geology of oceanJasper for our science people.
So it's a variety of calcidity,which is a microcrystalline form
of quartz, and it's known forits vibrant colors. And orb like
patterns. And I say orb likebecause there's a type of Jasper
called orbicular Jasper. That isjust that it's got the circles
(03:45):
of multiple whites around deepreds, blues, TEALS, pinks,
yellows. It's very, verystriking, very beautiful, if you
like Sardonyx at all, which is abanded type of Carnelian. It's
not unlike that with the orbpatterns. And so those those
patterns are formed throughcompression and aggregation of
silica minerals over millions ofyears, and the colors and the
(04:09):
patterns are influenced bythings like magnesium iron and
other minerals. And that adds tothe diversity of this stone.
It is a 6.7 to seven on the Mohsscale, so definitely worthy of
using your jewelry. What's coolabout Madagascar? What's cool
about Madagascar? I'm thinkingof Madagascar because that's
(04:32):
where I was going to say youcould take four or five pieces
of ocean Jasper from Madagascar,which is where I get 90% of the
ocean Jasper we sell at Raven'scauldron, and line them up. And
then you you would maybe thinkthat it was five different
rocks. And that's really, reallywhat's cool about it, because
it's, it's just a very diversestone. And so for collectors,
(04:56):
it's a little irritating,because you could kind of have
a.
100 pieces of it, because yougot to have that one where, if,
like, you're collecting RoseQuartz, it's all very similar
type of thing. If you'recatching sapphires, rubies,
they're all, you know, kind ofsimilar. Ocean Jasper stands
apart, and that's what we'regoing to talk about. Its
metaphysical uses here in asecond. It's rarity. It's
considered to be rare becauseit's very difficult to get to
(05:19):
and it really started becomingmarketed in the crystal
industry, in the jewelryindustry in the early 2000s
and it got mined out prettyquickly the good material, it's
still around in Madagascar, butas a result, it's hard to get to
and so very high qualityorbicular type patterns of ocean
Jasper are very sought after andtherefore considered quite rare,
(05:40):
and that kind of adds to itsallure for its metaphysical
properties. So there is thescience my friends on ocean
Jasper. Now let's talk about itsmetaphysical uses. And I
actually did a YouTube V log onthis on my YouTube channel a
while ago. So Gen Z,younger folks
(06:03):
very accepting of differences inhuman beings, the whole LGBTQ
plus world,trans that type of thing, all
different pockets of people inthe Gen Z, and they're very
accepting of each other. I am aGen X, and I didn't grow up in
such an accepting environment.
People were a lot more,I would say, judgmental in a
(06:25):
little bit chaotic and downrightmean in my era. I'm not saying
that doesn't happen now, butwe're in a different world now.
So where does ocean Jasper comesin? Is that it is a universally
loved stone, and no two pieceslook alike, and we accept it for
its metaphysical propertiesregardless. So a ugly, and of
course, this is subjective, butthere we have a joke in the
(06:49):
store. There's there's a vein ofocean Jasper that's kind of a
mustard color that has no othercolor, and it's just not that
attractive. But you would getthe same metaphysical goodness
and love out of that piece, asyou would one of these orbicular
pieces. It's got beautifulswirls of red and teal and green
and white. Doesn't matter. Andso that's what's really cool
about it. There's a wholediversity and inclusion movement
(07:14):
in the world, for instance, andocean Jasper fits into that
vein. It doesn't care. We areall the same underneath, and
that's what it kind of says.
It's referred to as the stone ofjoy, and it is known to lift
one's spirits and promotefeelings of happiness, well
being, warmth, that type ofthing. And once again, it's
because of self acceptance andpublic acceptance, if you will.
(07:37):
We all are here to walk ourpath, to get our life on the
road, and you will. And oceanJasper helps us to accept
ourselves. And once we acceptourselves, then that joy
radiates out from us and we getpublic acceptance, and that's
where it ties in. And I don'tmean to tie this to any sort of
generation. I'm not at all doingthat. I'm just saying there's a
(07:59):
lot more acceptance of humanbeings in the younger
generations, but those that havecome up prior to them are a
little bit more judgmental. Andso if you find yourself you know
in that vein, try a piece ofocean Jasper to kind of soften
your heart, and I will tell youI've done it myself.
I accept every human for whatthey are, but I don't accept
every idea I don't accept everybelief system. Of course not.
(08:23):
I'm a human being, but I have,in my circle of influence and
circle of friends, I have peoplethat drive me delirious because
of that. They they buy intosomething that I think is
absolute nonsense, for instance.
And so when I am around that,when I'm walking into an
environment like that, forinstance, when I go to trade
shows and stuff, there's a lotof opinions and there's a lot of
(08:44):
forceful that's when I I grabthis. It's not to calm me down.
That would be amethyst. Now thisis to to open my heart a little
bit look at things from adifferent angle. If you think
about the page of cups in tarot,for instance, that's what I
would equate ocean Jasper, too,the page of cups. Since we're
doing a podcast, you can't seeit, but you have your phone, I'm
sure you could look it up, butit's that page that's holding a
(09:06):
cup or a chalice with a fishpopping out of it, and it's a
strange card, and you're like,why? And it's because I never
thought of it that way. Maybe Ishould look at it from a
different angle. What does thatmean? And that's where
ocean Jasper is a powerhouse,and I have at least four pieces
in my collection for thatreason. It's connected to the
(09:26):
heart chakra. It's a powerfultool for emotional healing and
enhancing relationships. Again,it's all about this balancing of
emotions and self love andgetting to know yourself. And
once you know yourself, and onceyou're grounded in who you are,
then you're going to exudewarmth, and people are going to
accept you. They tell about thatconfidence thing. It's also
grounding and stabilizing. Butthere are far more prevalent
(09:50):
stones on the planet that Iwould use Tiger eye coming to
mind for. I use Tiger eye forall foundational stuff, but you
could also use ocean Jasper for.
For that very reason, and it'salso finally known for
reflection and spiritual growth.
It encourages introspection andself reflection. Again, it all
ties back to self love, andI can't encourage you enough to
(10:12):
grab yourself a piece of thispowerhouse stone. I truly love
it for those reasons, it softensall of us, and we all need
softened on certain areas. I andI certainly am not
immune to that. As I describedto you, I take it to trade
shows. I take it when I'm goingto be in a social situation
(10:32):
where I have to talk to a bunchof diversity of thought. And
there very well could besomething that is a little
triggering for me, and itshouldn't be triggering to me. I
am a big proponent of diversityof thought. I love it. I love
taking three wildly differentopinions on something, throwing
it in the pot, boiling, andseeing what comes out. But
sometimes, as a human being thatcan get a hold of us, and again,
(10:54):
I know I'm beating a dead horsehere, because I can't tell you
loud and clearly enough how muchthis works. Ocean. Jasper is
your friend for self acceptanceand overall acceptance. Get
yourself a piece today. Add itto your toolkit. I assure you, I
assure you that you will notregret it. You
(11:27):
Oh, all right, let's get rightinto it and talk about spell
powder. What the heck is spellpowder, right? So give you a
little background on me. Most ofyou already know this, but my
heavily practicing figure in thecraft. I could be called a
witch, I could be called allkinds of things, but I do lots
(11:50):
of rituals and spell craft andceremonial things within the
craft weekly, weekly, if notsometimes daily, depends on
what's going on in my life. Andso I've been doing that for
decades, probably 35 years. Andso as a result, the age old
question comes up, so anytimeyou do a spell, any, any, any
(12:13):
spell worth its weightthat you're methodically and
intentionally doing, you have togather the materials. And
sometimes that's not so easy todo. And so you might be
gathering rare herbs, crystals.
You're writing a letter. Youmight have some adornments to
add to your spell. It alldepends on what you're doing.
(12:34):
And you pull it all together,you put it all together, and
then you do your spell. Youraise the energy whatever you're
doing, and then it's done, andthen you have this pile of spell
materials, and it just feelsawful to get rid of them in any
way. So most practitioners willtell you, Oh, just add it as an
offering to the earth and buryit. And I'm okay with that, but
I'll tell you how that can alsohave issues. And then other
(12:58):
people will say, burn it. Andburning it is good. Depends on
what you're doing. You can'tburn crystals, for instance, you
can burn herbs. You can burnyour letter, that type of thing,
and that's a great way torelease it into the energy. It's
a chemical change. And we'redenaturing those items and
returning them back to the earthas a type of air. So that's
(13:19):
okay, but I wanted something alittle more powerful, where I
take issue and I don't takeissue, but burying things. If
you own your property and you'regoing to be there for a long
while, that's fine, but if youlive in an apartment and you
rent a property and you're alittle bit more transient, and
things can happen, I just feellike I don't I don't want to
leave my expired smell materialsthere. That was very personal,
(13:41):
and it took so much time to putit together that I don't know I
just kind of want it to be withme. So let me just tell you a
little story before we go inthis spell powder thing. So my
my biggest spell I ever did. II've been doing this stuff
forever, but it would have beenin the year 2001 so 2324
(14:06):
years ago, almost,and my friend Lynn and I
gathered all these materials, ofthese at the time, again, 2001
so we worked at an assemblyline. We worked in information
technology, where they madesemis, a company called
Navistar, International Truckand engine spin off in the 80s
of International Harvester farmequipment. So iron filings, they
iron rails at the beginning of aassembly of a semi, and they
(14:30):
would punch out coordinates. Andso there's all kinds of iron
filings. And so we actuallypulled them and different herbs
that we're that we would pickin Champaign County and Clark
County, where these places werethat we were working. It's a
long story. We pulled all thesespell materials together. It
took weeks to do it, and it wasthe most one of the most
(14:52):
successful spells I've ever donein my life. I won't get into all
of it because way it was acandle magick spell.
We teach candle magick basedupon the result of the spell at
the store. SoI buried it in my house, my
first house I ever owned. Idon't live there anymore, and I
hate the fact that it's there. Ican't tell you why. I mean,
(15:13):
that's been, you know, 2324years ago. So obviously my
letter of intention has beeneaten and absorbed by the earth.
But there were pennies that weresupercharged in there, because
this was kind of a it wasn't aprosperity spell, but it had an
element to it. There werecrystals that I buried there
that I would love to get myhands on. And there, it's a part
of me, a part of my youth. Andit was so successful and good,
(15:36):
and it deepened my admiration ofthe craft so much, and it's not
with me anymore. So Much AdoAbout Nothing there. It just I
don't like to bury things forthat reason, unless I know for a
fact that I'm going to be aroundfor a while and have it close to
me. So this is how I came upwith this crazy spell powder. So
(15:56):
I don't want to just tell youhow to make the spell powder,
because that's very methodical.
I want to talk. I want to walkyou through a basic low level
prosperity spell so that we havesome materials that I've
designed here and a little bitof an incantation. And then we
can talk about the process ofmaking this so if you want to
(16:17):
follow along, or you want to dothis spell, then I'll just tell
you what you need to get. Andyou need to get, and you can
come back and listen to thislater. But the materials for
this basic prosperity spell thatwe're going to do are a green
chime, candle,some comfrey root, mugwort,
bergamot oil, parchment paper,a piece of fake money or real
(16:37):
you could use a real dollar billif you're okay with destroying
it, and some ocean Jasper,so again, comfrey root, mugwort,
bergamot oil, parchment paper,fake or real money. If you're
okay with the real money, we'regoing to be destroying it, and
it needs to be paper money. Soand ocean Jasper.
(17:02):
Now the very first thing we wantto do in this spell is to anoint
the money with the Bergamo oil.
And so the way you do that isyou actually do a little test
make sure that you're notallergic to bergamot oil. If you
are you're getting any reaction,just put a little piece on your
finger, and if it itches oranything, then absolutely wear
gloves to do this. Essentialoils are tricky in that respect,
(17:24):
like cinnamon oil is a very muchan irritant to a lot of people.
Andwhen you're anointing your money
with the Bergamo oil, justagain, visualize yourself
sitting inside the life that youwant. And we're talking
prosperity, and it takes moneysometimes to get where you want.
So visualize yourself there.
(17:48):
And when you're doing that,start grinding the herbs in a
mortar and pestle. So thecomfrey root and the mugwort,
start grinding those herbs andstart visualizing again, you in
that circle of life that youwant to be in. And visualize
those down to a very, very finepowder.
(18:11):
Alright? So that takes a littlewhile to get that done, but you
know you want them to become onethat comfrey and mugwort. You
want them to beindistinguishable, if you will.
Once that's done, keep that keepthose herbs and that money right
near you, and get out yourparchment paper, and we want to
write our letter of intention.
And I am a stickler on theletter of intentions for so many
(18:33):
reasons. When we do piano magic,it's the same thing. It's the
most important part of a spell,and it's the part that you
cannot look upon a book, on a blog, nothing.
The only place that it can comefrom is you write this letter to
whoever you vibe with, if it's adead ancestor.
(18:58):
So mode it be, if it's a deity,so would it be if it's a public
figure? So it doesn't matterwhoever you want to write it to
that's pertinent to you. Andthen you write laser, sharp,
focused, what it is you want outof this spell. And I say things,
and I will repeat this, becauseit bears repeating as many times
(19:20):
as I can. Don't ever write aletter of intention. I want to
be happy. I want more moneybecause you're not going to get
it if you do that. Happiness isa it's not even a real thing.
It's just a It's a state ofbeing that we all work towards
and never, ever really getthere. You want more money? For
what? Just for the sake ofhaving more money, the universe
(19:43):
is going to laugh at you forthat. But if you say something
along the lines of, I want tocultivate a very comfortable
life where I'm able to give backand share blah blah blah with
the community and do somethingthat I have passion for.
Or and not struggle to make endsmeet something like that, and
(20:04):
very and then and read it100,000 times over and keep
refining it until it is exactly,exactly what you want. So let's
fast forward to the point wherewe've got that done.
Now we want to take the herbsand put a couple of drops of
bergamot oil and that herbmixture in your mortar and
pestle, and then just sprinklethose herbs on top of your
(20:26):
letter of intention. Afteryou've done that, set that piece
of fake money or real money ontop of your letter of intention,
and at the top of it, facingnorth, light your green chime
candle and say the following,by earth and water, fire and
air, I call abundance with aprayer. With Ocean Jasper in my
(20:48):
hand, I summon wealth at mycommand, as tides do rise and
currents flow, prosperity to me.
Bestow from all directions.
Wealth shall come withgratitude. I call it done by the
light of the moon and sun. Thespell is cast. It has begun. Let
me say that one more time foryou, you're going to light
(21:11):
facing north, your green chimecandle. You're going to hold
your piece of ocean Jasper,and you say, by earth and water,
fire and air, I call abundancewith a prayer, with ocean Jasper
in my hand, I summon wealth atmy command, as tides do rise and
currents flow, prosperity to mebestow From all directions,
(21:37):
wealth shall come withgratitude. I call it done by the
light of the moon and sun. Thisspell is cast. It has begun. And
that, my friends, is our entirespell. So we've got to this
point. So what do we do to makespell powder? And what would we
want to do with spell powder.
(22:02):
All right, so first thing I wantyou to do, so now we're going to
fast forward. We've done thisspell. We're living our life.
It's the next day, and we stillhave these materials. What do we
do with them? So I want you totake the herbs, your letter of
intention,and combine and make a paste out
of it. Just put a little bit ofsalt water in there. So rip up
your letter of intention, and soit's in small pieces. Throw the
(22:26):
herbs in there with it, themoney in there with it, as well,
fake or real. And if the moneyneeds to be torn up into small
pieces, and we're gonnabasically make a paste out of
it. So just add a little saltwater, and just kind of keep
stirring and keep adding untilit makes like a paper mache
paste, almost like a flourdough, if you will. But we're
making this out of paper andherbs, so it's not really
(22:47):
scientific there. Just, youknow, make it so it's a bit of a
spreadable paste. When you getthere, then you want to spread
it out on a cookie sheet and putit in your oven at 200 and watch
it closely. And we're just theintention here is just to dry it
completely back out. So itbecomes this weird looking
stuff. It just kind of lookssometimes. It's depends on the
color of the herbs and whatyou've got on your letter of
(23:10):
intention, but it can take on anearthy color and so dry it out.
You can also, if you don't wantto do it inside, and you're do
everything all natural, youcould, actually, if you live in
a warm area, set it out on abaking sheet, just make sure
that it's somewhere where theanimals can't get to it, and dry
it out that way that's notwindy, so it won't blow away.
But you want to dry all thosematerials out. Once
(23:32):
you do that, then you want togrind that into a powder. And
you can do that in your mortarand pestle, or you could use the
spice grinder, if that becomestoo difficult in the mortar and
pestle, but you just want tomake but you just want to make
it into a powder and then put itinto a jar that's been cleansed.
And when I it's so simple on thejar cleansing, if you've used
the jar before for magic, it'sjust sit it in some sea salt
(23:53):
water for 10 minutes and thenlet it naturally dry and it's
been cleansed and ready for youruse. Label that jar that it is a
prosperity spell. And we didthis in August of 2024
or September of 2024,so that you know what it is,
because that the worst thing youcan do is have bunches of these,
if you do lots of spells andthen boom, no more. Now, during
(24:13):
this time of prosperity,what do you do with this? Well,
you know, if it's starting towork, but you want a little
more. Add a little bit thatspell pocket to your pocket. Add
a little bit that spell powderto your wallet. Add that little
bit of spell powder to whereverit is you make money and how you
(24:35):
make money.
Put it in the cabinets of yourworkplace if you make money
there, if you go to an officejob, put it in a couple drawers,
maybe you'll get a promotion,that type of thing. So it's a
way to re energize your spellwith materials that have been
completely energized by you forwhat you want to accomplish,
(24:58):
spell powder. Then when it'sdone.
On and you've got it. Yeah, youkeep that. And so any other time
now that you're doing aprosperity spell, I take some of
that spell powder and add it tomy materials. Any time I have
tons of different versions ofspell powder. And so if I'm
doing a prosperity spell and Ihave now, I should say, if the
spell completely backfires anddoesn't do anything for you,
(25:18):
throw the spell powder away. Butif it is successful for you, and
it grants you what you need, andyou've manifested it, those are
still valid materials. Why throwthem away or leave them at a
place when you may leave thatplace and never see them again?
As far as the ocean Jasper,cleanse it in the moonlight and
put it back in your collection.
(25:40):
We're not getting rid of thatdown the road, if you're doing a
prosperity spell, then you havethis jar of prosperity spell
powder. You have it dated, andyou might want to write on your
label, on the back the successrate. It was so successful. This
overwhelmed me. It was so good,like the spell I told you about.
And then I add a little bit ofthat to the spell material. So
in the spell we just did, howwould I, where would I put that?
(26:00):
So when we take those herbs, Imight grind up that spell powder
with the new herbs and oils,just to infuse that energy into
the new spell. It is a verybeautiful way to make use of
your spell materials and reusethem in the future. If they turn
out to be powerful for you, ifit turns out not to be a great
(26:21):
spell, then that's when you wantto burn it or bury it, if you
are so inclined, and that, myfriends, is spell powder you
(26:47):
all right, let's talk Tarot forthe week. So I hope you're
getting good guidance from theuniverse on these tarot
readings. It's really a powerfulthing once a week to pull a two
to five card combination, andnot really ask any questions,
but just kind of see what theuniverse wants us to know, and
it can be a universal thing. Imean, as humans, we all
(27:09):
experience very similar patternsand stuff, and so I'm pulling
right now. I had pre shuffled mydeck and reset it so we've got
the upright magician,the upright 10 of pentacles
and the upright eight of cups.
Again, the magician, the 10 ofpentacles, the eight of cups,
(27:33):
all in their upright position.
So let's just do quick meaningson these first before we talk
about putting a story together.
Uh, magician is all aboutmanifestation, making it happen.
Reese for resourcefulness, ifyou will. It basically tells us
that we have everything right infront of us, inside of us, to to
accomplish what we want, and thepower to bring our desires into
(27:54):
reality is right within us andright within our reach. The 10
of pentacles. It's all aboutwealth, legacy, long term
success, financial stability,strong family bonds, the end of
a project that leads to lastingprosperity. The eight of cups,
it's it represents an emotionaldecision to walk away from
(28:17):
something that's unfulfillingfor us, if you will. We're
searching for a deeper meaningand happiness in our life. And
it can also symbolize that we'rereally not paying attention to
what's going right in our life.
We're only paying attention towhat went wrong
the eight of cups. So what doesthis spread mean? It simply
means that right now to the atthe end of August of 2024 we are
(28:40):
going through a powerful periodof transformation and growth,
particularly with areas offinance and personal fulfillment
and career, as we talked aboutwith the magician. It's
indicating that we have thepotential to manifest great
success. But the thing is, weneed to use our skills
efficiently, and that's wherethe magician has a little bit of
a gotcha.
(29:02):
When people tell you things likeyou can do anything you want,
it's truly true. It really isone of the truest statements
that you can make about a humanbeing. But do we have the
fortitude to do it? Is alwaysthe question and the follow
through. When you pair that witha 10 of pentacles, it's
highlighting the possibility ofachieving, achieving financial
(29:22):
stability,and curating a legacy that
benefits not just us, but ourfamily and those that we care
about as well. But when we enterinto the ace of cups, into this
combination, that's when thingscan get just a little bit more
tricky. It's an importantelement, and it has to do with
fully embracing the success. Youneed to leave something behind
(29:42):
that no longer fulfills us. Andso that's what's the power of
this. It's, it's, it's a spreadthat encourages you to trust
your abilities and strive forlong term success, but don't be
afraid to walk away with what'snot working. And that's the
important lesson here. Thenegative card is the most
important here, the eight of.
Cups, because it tells us, youknow, you've got all the power
(30:02):
to do everything you want to do.
You've got this 10 of pentacles,which is flourishing
financially, all that greatstuff. But in order to do that,
then we're going to have toleave some things behind. So it
harkens, in my mind, what ittells me, if I was reading this
for someone, control freaks, ifyou will. I can be that way in
(30:24):
my own life. You have to letthings go. You have to let some
things go in order to get to theprize. You can't do everything,
and you used to handleeverything, but those things are
no longer fulfilling you, andnow they're becoming rudimentary
tasks, and they're dragging youdown. And if we let them go, we
can sail to new highs. And that,my friends, is what Mother
(30:45):
Earth, Gaia, the universe,whoever you call her, that is
what is being told to us thisweek. So think about that as
you're walking through yourweek, because I think it's
really powerful.
And just like that. We're at theend of the episode. I so
appreciate each and every one ofyou for tuning in and listening
(31:06):
to this podcast. It means theworld to me. Coming up next week
in season three, Episode Seven,we're going to talk about adding
cinnabar to our crystal toolkit,and I'm excited about that,
because that's, by all means,not a common gemstone to have in
your toolkit, but one that isvery important to me, and I want
to share some of my experienceswith it and why I love it. Of
(31:27):
course, our Tarot guidance forthe week next week. And then I'm
going to talk about dealing withanimosity in the craft. You
know, how I deal with peoplelooking at you and rolling their
eyes and acting like this is allWoo, woo, and people that are
very religious, thinking thatwhat you do here is evil and
that type of thing, and how Ideal with that. And then we're
also going to add a fourthsection next week on a simple
(31:50):
but effective freezer spell forthose times when we really need
to shut someone off that justwon't leave us alone. It doesn't
harm them anyway. It just getsthem out of our radius, if you
will. So with that, I bid eachof you a great week ahead, and I
look forward to talking to younext Week on Episode Seven. You
Music, Hello everyone, and welcome to intentional,
spiritual living with Brian.
This is season three, EpisodeSix. We're on the homeward
stretch of our 10 episode seasonI can't believe it time is and I
know I say this at the beginningof every episode, but time is
just flying. Today's a specialepisode for me, kind of a goofy
reason, but I like to shareI started this podcast in 2020,
(00:38):
during the god, awful covid era.
And as many of you know, but ifyou haven't listened to season
one, so we all went through thatwhole shutdown, and I had just
opened Raven's cauldron likefour months before, and then we
had to turn around and shut downand figure life out, as you all
(00:58):
know. And so that's when Istarted this podcast, when I sat
in this exact chair, so youmight hear ambulances in the
background and cars,because I'm at the old store,
because it was a closed at thetime, and now this is crooked
cottage escape rooms. And soit's a special time for me,
because it kind of goes back tomy roots where I recorded it and
started it, and I'm so glad tobe back doing it again. So
(01:19):
enough about that. So here weare, season three, Episode Six.
Today we're going to talkcontinue our 10 part, building
your crystal toolkit section.
And today we're going to betalking all about ocean Jasper,
a powerhouse gem that you cannottell one piece from the next.
It's very hard to identifysometimes and very, very
(01:42):
relevant for the Gen Z folks andyounger of the world, and
relevant for us all, but it'sreally wonderful, and we'll talk
about why that is. Secondsection we are going to talk
about how to make spell powder.
And that might sound a littlecrazy to you, spell powder is
something that I kind ofinvented decades ago that has
been very powerful me for verypowerful for me, and I like to
(02:05):
share all this stuff with youguys. And so that's what we're
going to do today, is make spellpowder go through a very basic
prosperity spell, come up withsome basic ingredients, and then
walk through how to do thatspell. And then this has
everything to do with that ageold question of, what do you do
with the contents of a spell? Doyou put them back into the
earth? Do you bury them? Do youburn them? Do you throw them
(02:27):
away? Do you do nothing withthem? All that kind of stuff?
And we're going to talk aboutthat and and how to keep re
energizing the spell with thisspell powder they're going to
make. And finally, we will doour three card Tarot pull and
see what the universe wants usto know and has in store for us
for the weeks ahead. So with nofurther ado, folks, let's get
started.
(03:02):
How All right, let's get rightinto it. So we have went through
five crystals, and this seasonto start curating and building
our crystal toolkit, if you'refollowing along, and today,
we're going to talk about oceanJasper and why you might want to
add that to your toolkit. So tobegin, let's talk about a little
(03:25):
bit of the geology of oceanJasper for our science people.
So it's a variety of calcidity,which is a microcrystalline form
of quartz, and it's known forits vibrant colors. And orb like
patterns. And I say orb likebecause there's a type of Jasper
called orbicular Jasper. That isjust that it's got the circles
(03:45):
of multiple whites around deepreds, blues, TEALS, pinks,
yellows. It's very, verystriking, very beautiful, if you
like Sardonyx at all, which is abanded type of Carnelian. It's
not unlike that with the orbpatterns. And so those those
patterns are formed throughcompression and aggregation of
silica minerals over millions ofyears, and the colors and the
(04:09):
patterns are influenced bythings like magnesium iron and
other minerals. And that adds tothe diversity of this stone.
It is a 6.7 to seven on the Mohsscale, so definitely worthy of
using your jewelry. What's coolabout Madagascar? What's cool
about Madagascar? I'm thinkingof Madagascar because that's
(04:32):
where I was going to say youcould take four or five pieces
of ocean Jasper from Madagascar,which is where I get 90% of the
ocean Jasper we sell at Raven'scauldron, and line them up. And
then you you would maybe thinkthat it was five different
rocks. And that's really, reallywhat's cool about it, because
it's, it's just a very diversestone. And so for collectors,
(04:56):
it's a little irritating,because you could kind of have
a.
100 pieces of it, because yougot to have that one where, if,
like, you're collecting RoseQuartz, it's all very similar
type of thing. If you'recatching sapphires, rubies,
they're all, you know, kind ofsimilar. Ocean Jasper stands
apart, and that's what we'regoing to talk about. Its
metaphysical uses here in asecond. It's rarity. It's
considered to be rare becauseit's very difficult to get to
(05:19):
and it really started becomingmarketed in the crystal
industry, in the jewelryindustry in the early 2000s
and it got mined out prettyquickly the good material, it's
still around in Madagascar, butas a result, it's hard to get to
and so very high qualityorbicular type patterns of ocean
Jasper are very sought after andtherefore considered quite rare,
(05:40):
and that kind of adds to itsallure for its metaphysical
properties. So there is thescience my friends on ocean
Jasper. Now let's talk about itsmetaphysical uses. And I
actually did a YouTube V log onthis on my YouTube channel a
while ago. So Gen Z,younger folks
(06:03):
very accepting of differences inhuman beings, the whole LGBTQ
plus world,trans that type of thing, all
different pockets of people inthe Gen Z, and they're very
accepting of each other. I am aGen X, and I didn't grow up in
such an accepting environment.
People were a lot more,I would say, judgmental in a
(06:25):
little bit chaotic and downrightmean in my era. I'm not saying
that doesn't happen now, butwe're in a different world now.
So where does ocean Jasper comesin? Is that it is a universally
loved stone, and no two pieceslook alike, and we accept it for
its metaphysical propertiesregardless. So a ugly, and of
course, this is subjective, butthere we have a joke in the
(06:49):
store. There's there's a vein ofocean Jasper that's kind of a
mustard color that has no othercolor, and it's just not that
attractive. But you would getthe same metaphysical goodness
and love out of that piece, asyou would one of these orbicular
pieces. It's got beautifulswirls of red and teal and green
and white. Doesn't matter. Andso that's what's really cool
about it. There's a wholediversity and inclusion movement
(07:14):
in the world, for instance, andocean Jasper fits into that
vein. It doesn't care. We areall the same underneath, and
that's what it kind of says.
It's referred to as the stone ofjoy, and it is known to lift
one's spirits and promotefeelings of happiness, well
being, warmth, that type ofthing. And once again, it's
because of self acceptance andpublic acceptance, if you will.
(07:37):
We all are here to walk ourpath, to get our life on the
road, and you will. And oceanJasper helps us to accept
ourselves. And once we acceptourselves, then that joy
radiates out from us and we getpublic acceptance, and that's
where it ties in. And I don'tmean to tie this to any sort of
generation. I'm not at all doingthat. I'm just saying there's a
(07:59):
lot more acceptance of humanbeings in the younger
generations, but those that havecome up prior to them are a
little bit more judgmental. Andso if you find yourself you know
in that vein, try a piece ofocean Jasper to kind of soften
your heart, and I will tell youI've done it myself.
I accept every human for whatthey are, but I don't accept
every idea I don't accept everybelief system. Of course not.
(08:23):
I'm a human being, but I have,in my circle of influence and
circle of friends, I have peoplethat drive me delirious because
of that. They they buy intosomething that I think is
absolute nonsense, for instance.
And so when I am around that,when I'm walking into an
environment like that, forinstance, when I go to trade
shows and stuff, there's a lotof opinions and there's a lot of
(08:44):
forceful that's when I I grabthis. It's not to calm me down.
That would be amethyst. Now thisis to to open my heart a little
bit look at things from adifferent angle. If you think
about the page of cups in tarot,for instance, that's what I
would equate ocean Jasper, too,the page of cups. Since we're
doing a podcast, you can't seeit, but you have your phone, I'm
sure you could look it up, butit's that page that's holding a
(09:06):
cup or a chalice with a fishpopping out of it, and it's a
strange card, and you're like,why? And it's because I never
thought of it that way. Maybe Ishould look at it from a
different angle. What does thatmean? And that's where
ocean Jasper is a powerhouse,and I have at least four pieces
in my collection for thatreason. It's connected to the
(09:26):
heart chakra. It's a powerfultool for emotional healing and
enhancing relationships. Again,it's all about this balancing of
emotions and self love andgetting to know yourself. And
once you know yourself, and onceyou're grounded in who you are,
then you're going to exudewarmth, and people are going to
accept you. They tell about thatconfidence thing. It's also
grounding and stabilizing. Butthere are far more prevalent
(09:50):
stones on the planet that Iwould use Tiger eye coming to
mind for. I use Tiger eye forall foundational stuff, but you
could also use ocean Jasper for.
For that very reason, and it'salso finally known for
reflection and spiritual growth.
It encourages introspection andself reflection. Again, it all
ties back to self love, andI can't encourage you enough to
(10:12):
grab yourself a piece of thispowerhouse stone. I truly love
it for those reasons, it softensall of us, and we all need
softened on certain areas. I andI certainly am not
immune to that. As I describedto you, I take it to trade
shows. I take it when I'm goingto be in a social situation
(10:32):
where I have to talk to a bunchof diversity of thought. And
there very well could besomething that is a little
triggering for me, and itshouldn't be triggering to me. I
am a big proponent of diversityof thought. I love it. I love
taking three wildly differentopinions on something, throwing
it in the pot, boiling, andseeing what comes out. But
sometimes, as a human being thatcan get a hold of us, and again,
(10:54):
I know I'm beating a dead horsehere, because I can't tell you
loud and clearly enough how muchthis works. Ocean. Jasper is
your friend for self acceptanceand overall acceptance. Get
yourself a piece today. Add itto your toolkit. I assure you, I
assure you that you will notregret it. You
(11:27):
Oh, all right, let's get rightinto it and talk about spell
powder. What the heck is spellpowder, right? So give you a
little background on me. Most ofyou already know this, but my
heavily practicing figure in thecraft. I could be called a
witch, I could be called allkinds of things, but I do lots
(11:50):
of rituals and spell craft andceremonial things within the
craft weekly, weekly, if notsometimes daily, depends on
what's going on in my life. Andso I've been doing that for
decades, probably 35 years. Andso as a result, the age old
question comes up, so anytimeyou do a spell, any, any, any
(12:13):
spell worth its weightthat you're methodically and
intentionally doing, you have togather the materials. And
sometimes that's not so easy todo. And so you might be
gathering rare herbs, crystals.
You're writing a letter. Youmight have some adornments to
add to your spell. It alldepends on what you're doing.
(12:34):
And you pull it all together,you put it all together, and
then you do your spell. Youraise the energy whatever you're
doing, and then it's done, andthen you have this pile of spell
materials, and it just feelsawful to get rid of them in any
way. So most practitioners willtell you, Oh, just add it as an
offering to the earth and buryit. And I'm okay with that, but
I'll tell you how that can alsohave issues. And then other
(12:58):
people will say, burn it. Andburning it is good. Depends on
what you're doing. You can'tburn crystals, for instance, you
can burn herbs. You can burnyour letter, that type of thing,
and that's a great way torelease it into the energy. It's
a chemical change. And we'redenaturing those items and
returning them back to the earthas a type of air. So that's
(13:19):
okay, but I wanted something alittle more powerful, where I
take issue and I don't takeissue, but burying things. If
you own your property and you'regoing to be there for a long
while, that's fine, but if youlive in an apartment and you
rent a property and you're alittle bit more transient, and
things can happen, I just feellike I don't I don't want to
leave my expired smell materialsthere. That was very personal,
(13:41):
and it took so much time to putit together that I don't know I
just kind of want it to be withme. So let me just tell you a
little story before we go inthis spell powder thing. So my
my biggest spell I ever did. II've been doing this stuff
forever, but it would have beenin the year 2001 so 2324
(14:06):
years ago, almost,and my friend Lynn and I
gathered all these materials, ofthese at the time, again, 2001
so we worked at an assemblyline. We worked in information
technology, where they madesemis, a company called
Navistar, International Truckand engine spin off in the 80s
of International Harvester farmequipment. So iron filings, they
iron rails at the beginning of aassembly of a semi, and they
(14:30):
would punch out coordinates. Andso there's all kinds of iron
filings. And so we actuallypulled them and different herbs
that we're that we would pickin Champaign County and Clark
County, where these places werethat we were working. It's a
long story. We pulled all thesespell materials together. It
took weeks to do it, and it wasthe most one of the most
(14:52):
successful spells I've ever donein my life. I won't get into all
of it because way it was acandle magick spell.
We teach candle magick basedupon the result of the spell at
the store. SoI buried it in my house, my
first house I ever owned. Idon't live there anymore, and I
hate the fact that it's there. Ican't tell you why. I mean,
(15:13):
that's been, you know, 2324years ago. So obviously my
letter of intention has beeneaten and absorbed by the earth.
But there were pennies that weresupercharged in there, because
this was kind of a it wasn't aprosperity spell, but it had an
element to it. There werecrystals that I buried there
that I would love to get myhands on. And there, it's a part
of me, a part of my youth. Andit was so successful and good,
(15:36):
and it deepened my admiration ofthe craft so much, and it's not
with me anymore. So Much AdoAbout Nothing there. It just I
don't like to bury things forthat reason, unless I know for a
fact that I'm going to be aroundfor a while and have it close to
me. So this is how I came upwith this crazy spell powder. So
(15:56):
I don't want to just tell youhow to make the spell powder,
because that's very methodical.
I want to talk. I want to walkyou through a basic low level
prosperity spell so that we havesome materials that I've
designed here and a little bitof an incantation. And then we
can talk about the process ofmaking this so if you want to
(16:17):
follow along, or you want to dothis spell, then I'll just tell
you what you need to get. Andyou need to get, and you can
come back and listen to thislater. But the materials for
this basic prosperity spell thatwe're going to do are a green
chime, candle,some comfrey root, mugwort,
bergamot oil, parchment paper,a piece of fake money or real
(16:37):
you could use a real dollar billif you're okay with destroying
it, and some ocean Jasper,so again, comfrey root, mugwort,
bergamot oil, parchment paper,fake or real money. If you're
okay with the real money, we'regoing to be destroying it, and
it needs to be paper money. Soand ocean Jasper.
(17:02):
Now the very first thing we wantto do in this spell is to anoint
the money with the Bergamo oil.
And so the way you do that isyou actually do a little test
make sure that you're notallergic to bergamot oil. If you
are you're getting any reaction,just put a little piece on your
finger, and if it itches oranything, then absolutely wear
gloves to do this. Essentialoils are tricky in that respect,
(17:24):
like cinnamon oil is a very muchan irritant to a lot of people.
Andwhen you're anointing your money
with the Bergamo oil, justagain, visualize yourself
sitting inside the life that youwant. And we're talking
prosperity, and it takes moneysometimes to get where you want.
So visualize yourself there.
(17:48):
And when you're doing that,start grinding the herbs in a
mortar and pestle. So thecomfrey root and the mugwort,
start grinding those herbs andstart visualizing again, you in
that circle of life that youwant to be in. And visualize
those down to a very, very finepowder.
(18:11):
Alright? So that takes a littlewhile to get that done, but you
know you want them to become onethat comfrey and mugwort. You
want them to beindistinguishable, if you will.
Once that's done, keep that keepthose herbs and that money right
near you, and get out yourparchment paper, and we want to
write our letter of intention.
And I am a stickler on theletter of intentions for so many
(18:33):
reasons. When we do piano magic,it's the same thing. It's the
most important part of a spell,and it's the part that you
cannot look upon a book, on a blog, nothing.
The only place that it can comefrom is you write this letter to
whoever you vibe with, if it's adead ancestor.
(18:58):
So mode it be, if it's a deity,so would it be if it's a public
figure? So it doesn't matterwhoever you want to write it to
that's pertinent to you. Andthen you write laser, sharp,
focused, what it is you want outof this spell. And I say things,
and I will repeat this, becauseit bears repeating as many times
(19:20):
as I can. Don't ever write aletter of intention. I want to
be happy. I want more moneybecause you're not going to get
it if you do that. Happiness isa it's not even a real thing.
It's just a It's a state ofbeing that we all work towards
and never, ever really getthere. You want more money? For
what? Just for the sake ofhaving more money, the universe
(19:43):
is going to laugh at you forthat. But if you say something
along the lines of, I want tocultivate a very comfortable
life where I'm able to give backand share blah blah blah with
the community and do somethingthat I have passion for.
Or and not struggle to make endsmeet something like that, and
(20:04):
very and then and read it100,000 times over and keep
refining it until it is exactly,exactly what you want. So let's
fast forward to the point wherewe've got that done.
Now we want to take the herbsand put a couple of drops of
bergamot oil and that herbmixture in your mortar and
pestle, and then just sprinklethose herbs on top of your
(20:26):
letter of intention. Afteryou've done that, set that piece
of fake money or real money ontop of your letter of intention,
and at the top of it, facingnorth, light your green chime
candle and say the following,by earth and water, fire and
air, I call abundance with aprayer. With Ocean Jasper in my
(20:48):
hand, I summon wealth at mycommand, as tides do rise and
currents flow, prosperity to me.
Bestow from all directions.
Wealth shall come withgratitude. I call it done by the
light of the moon and sun. Thespell is cast. It has begun. Let
me say that one more time foryou, you're going to light
(21:11):
facing north, your green chimecandle. You're going to hold
your piece of ocean Jasper,and you say, by earth and water,
fire and air, I call abundancewith a prayer, with ocean Jasper
in my hand, I summon wealth atmy command, as tides do rise and
currents flow, prosperity to mebestow From all directions,
(21:37):
wealth shall come withgratitude. I call it done by the
light of the moon and sun. Thisspell is cast. It has begun. And
that, my friends, is our entirespell. So we've got to this
point. So what do we do to makespell powder? And what would we
want to do with spell powder.
(22:02):
All right, so first thing I wantyou to do, so now we're going to
fast forward. We've done thisspell. We're living our life.
It's the next day, and we stillhave these materials. What do we
do with them? So I want you totake the herbs, your letter of
intention,and combine and make a paste out
of it. Just put a little bit ofsalt water in there. So rip up
your letter of intention, and soit's in small pieces. Throw the
(22:26):
herbs in there with it, themoney in there with it, as well,
fake or real. And if the moneyneeds to be torn up into small
pieces, and we're gonnabasically make a paste out of
it. So just add a little saltwater, and just kind of keep
stirring and keep adding untilit makes like a paper mache
paste, almost like a flourdough, if you will. But we're
making this out of paper andherbs, so it's not really
(22:47):
scientific there. Just, youknow, make it so it's a bit of a
spreadable paste. When you getthere, then you want to spread
it out on a cookie sheet and putit in your oven at 200 and watch
it closely. And we're just theintention here is just to dry it
completely back out. So itbecomes this weird looking
stuff. It just kind of lookssometimes. It's depends on the
color of the herbs and whatyou've got on your letter of
(23:10):
intention, but it can take on anearthy color and so dry it out.
You can also, if you don't wantto do it inside, and you're do
everything all natural, youcould, actually, if you live in
a warm area, set it out on abaking sheet, just make sure
that it's somewhere where theanimals can't get to it, and dry
it out that way that's notwindy, so it won't blow away.
But you want to dry all thosematerials out. Once
(23:32):
you do that, then you want togrind that into a powder. And
you can do that in your mortarand pestle, or you could use the
spice grinder, if that becomestoo difficult in the mortar and
pestle, but you just want tomake but you just want to make
it into a powder and then put itinto a jar that's been cleansed.
And when I it's so simple on thejar cleansing, if you've used
the jar before for magic, it'sjust sit it in some sea salt
(23:53):
water for 10 minutes and thenlet it naturally dry and it's
been cleansed and ready for youruse. Label that jar that it is a
prosperity spell. And we didthis in August of 2024
or September of 2024,so that you know what it is,
because that the worst thing youcan do is have bunches of these,
if you do lots of spells andthen boom, no more. Now, during
(24:13):
this time of prosperity,what do you do with this? Well,
you know, if it's starting towork, but you want a little
more. Add a little bit thatspell pocket to your pocket. Add
a little bit that spell powderto your wallet. Add that little
bit of spell powder to whereverit is you make money and how you
(24:35):
make money.
Put it in the cabinets of yourworkplace if you make money
there, if you go to an officejob, put it in a couple drawers,
maybe you'll get a promotion,that type of thing. So it's a
way to re energize your spellwith materials that have been
completely energized by you forwhat you want to accomplish,
(24:58):
spell powder. Then when it'sdone.
On and you've got it. Yeah, youkeep that. And so any other time
now that you're doing aprosperity spell, I take some of
that spell powder and add it tomy materials. Any time I have
tons of different versions ofspell powder. And so if I'm
doing a prosperity spell and Ihave now, I should say, if the
spell completely backfires anddoesn't do anything for you,
(25:18):
throw the spell powder away. Butif it is successful for you, and
it grants you what you need, andyou've manifested it, those are
still valid materials. Why throwthem away or leave them at a
place when you may leave thatplace and never see them again?
As far as the ocean Jasper,cleanse it in the moonlight and
put it back in your collection.
(25:40):
We're not getting rid of thatdown the road, if you're doing a
prosperity spell, then you havethis jar of prosperity spell
powder. You have it dated, andyou might want to write on your
label, on the back the successrate. It was so successful. This
overwhelmed me. It was so good,like the spell I told you about.
And then I add a little bit ofthat to the spell material. So
in the spell we just did, howwould I, where would I put that?
(26:00):
So when we take those herbs, Imight grind up that spell powder
with the new herbs and oils,just to infuse that energy into
the new spell. It is a verybeautiful way to make use of
your spell materials and reusethem in the future. If they turn
out to be powerful for you, ifit turns out not to be a great
(26:21):
spell, then that's when you wantto burn it or bury it, if you
are so inclined, and that, myfriends, is spell powder you
(26:47):
all right, let's talk Tarot forthe week. So I hope you're
getting good guidance from theuniverse on these tarot
readings. It's really a powerfulthing once a week to pull a two
to five card combination, andnot really ask any questions,
but just kind of see what theuniverse wants us to know, and
it can be a universal thing. Imean, as humans, we all
(27:09):
experience very similar patternsand stuff, and so I'm pulling
right now. I had pre shuffled mydeck and reset it so we've got
the upright magician,the upright 10 of pentacles
and the upright eight of cups.
Again, the magician, the 10 ofpentacles, the eight of cups,
(27:33):
all in their upright position.
So let's just do quick meaningson these first before we talk
about putting a story together.
Uh, magician is all aboutmanifestation, making it happen.
Reese for resourcefulness, ifyou will. It basically tells us
that we have everything right infront of us, inside of us, to to
accomplish what we want, and thepower to bring our desires into
(27:54):
reality is right within us andright within our reach. The 10
of pentacles. It's all aboutwealth, legacy, long term
success, financial stability,strong family bonds, the end of
a project that leads to lastingprosperity. The eight of cups,
it's it represents an emotionaldecision to walk away from
(28:17):
something that's unfulfillingfor us, if you will. We're
searching for a deeper meaningand happiness in our life. And
it can also symbolize that we'rereally not paying attention to
what's going right in our life.
We're only paying attention towhat went wrong
the eight of cups. So what doesthis spread mean? It simply
means that right now to the atthe end of August of 2024 we are
(28:40):
going through a powerful periodof transformation and growth,
particularly with areas offinance and personal fulfillment
and career, as we talked aboutwith the magician. It's
indicating that we have thepotential to manifest great
success. But the thing is, weneed to use our skills
efficiently, and that's wherethe magician has a little bit of
a gotcha.
(29:02):
When people tell you things likeyou can do anything you want,
it's truly true. It really isone of the truest statements
that you can make about a humanbeing. But do we have the
fortitude to do it? Is alwaysthe question and the follow
through. When you pair that witha 10 of pentacles, it's
highlighting the possibility ofachieving, achieving financial
(29:22):
stability,and curating a legacy that
benefits not just us, but ourfamily and those that we care
about as well. But when we enterinto the ace of cups, into this
combination, that's when thingscan get just a little bit more
tricky. It's an importantelement, and it has to do with
fully embracing the success. Youneed to leave something behind
(29:42):
that no longer fulfills us. Andso that's what's the power of
this. It's, it's, it's a spreadthat encourages you to trust
your abilities and strive forlong term success, but don't be
afraid to walk away with what'snot working. And that's the
important lesson here. Thenegative card is the most
important here, the eight of.
Cups, because it tells us, youknow, you've got all the power
(30:02):
to do everything you want to do.
You've got this 10 of pentacles,which is flourishing
financially, all that greatstuff. But in order to do that,
then we're going to have toleave some things behind. So it
harkens, in my mind, what ittells me, if I was reading this
for someone, control freaks, ifyou will. I can be that way in
(30:24):
my own life. You have to letthings go. You have to let some
things go in order to get to theprize. You can't do everything,
and you used to handleeverything, but those things are
no longer fulfilling you, andnow they're becoming rudimentary
tasks, and they're dragging youdown. And if we let them go, we
can sail to new highs. And that,my friends, is what Mother
(30:45):
Earth, Gaia, the universe,whoever you call her, that is
what is being told to us thisweek. So think about that as
you're walking through yourweek, because I think it's
really powerful.
And just like that. We're at theend of the episode. I so
appreciate each and every one ofyou for tuning in and listening
(31:06):
to this podcast. It means theworld to me. Coming up next week
in season three, Episode Seven,we're going to talk about adding
cinnabar to our crystal toolkit,and I'm excited about that,
because that's, by all means,not a common gemstone to have in
your toolkit, but one that isvery important to me, and I want
to share some of my experienceswith it and why I love it. Of
(31:27):
course, our Tarot guidance forthe week next week. And then I'm
going to talk about dealing withanimosity in the craft. You
know, how I deal with peoplelooking at you and rolling their
eyes and acting like this is allWoo, woo, and people that are
very religious, thinking thatwhat you do here is evil and
that type of thing, and how Ideal with that. And then we're
also going to add a fourthsection next week on a simple
(31:50):
but effective freezer spell forthose times when we really need
to shut someone off that justwon't leave us alone. It doesn't
harm them anyway. It just getsthem out of our radius, if you
will. So with that, I bid eachof you a great week ahead, and I
look forward to talking to younext Week on Episode Seven. You
