Newsletter-February 23, 2010
Dear Odorizzi,
Hello Everyone!
Our new sign has arrived! We went without a sign for over a week while it was being created. We had many people concerned that we had closed the store, but we are still here. We're not going anywhere!
The graphics on the old sign almost looked like they were burnt due to a manufacturing issue. We are glad to have a crisp new sign again! Our new fixtures and signs have giving us a nice facelift. Check out our new Sounds True listening station too!
Help us make our Facebook goal! We have about 2700 fans right now and hope to make it to 3000 by the end of next week. Tell your friends about us!

Totem Animals
Animal totems offer spiritual guidance. To best understand the lessons conveyed by animals that show up in our lives, we must learn more of their instinctual behaviors, and natural habitats. Is the animal nocturnal? Does it live in the desert or the tropics? Is the animal solitary or lives in a pack? What type of diet do they eat? Answers to these questions and similar questions will give you clues as to what message is being offered.
Owl Medicine
Owl sees and knows the truth. It's ability to navigate through the darkest night and bring back nourishment for itself and others is the foundation of this essence. When you have lost your way, owl essence will guide you back to your proper path and wisdom.
Expanded Definition - Death and rebirth, releasing that which has outlived it's benefit and usefulness in your life, actual physical death transition, can be placed in a bowl of water and used to help earth bound Souls find their guides and loved ones. Clearing a home or land of negative energy. Starting over in a new life or releasing the ties that kept you bound to the old one. Enhances clairvoyance, clairaudience, communication from one's Master Guides and Totems.
Owls have long been associated with both death and wisdom. In Greek mythology an Owl was sacred to Pallas Athene, the Goddess of wisdom, because it sat on her shoulder and lit up her blind side. Their association with death comes from their peerless ability as hunters of the night, they are able to navigate through the most densely forested areas in order to seek out and capture their prey. Crows will mob Owls when they are near their territory for they know that when night falls, Owl becomes a formidable predator that will return to the Crow's nesting areas in search of a tasty Crow dinner.
Yet even so, the Owl provides a vital function in keeping bird, rodent and insect populations in check; too many of any species is detrimental to the balance of all. So it is with other things in our own lives, for if we have too many possessions, too many projects, too much of anything, it limits and restricts our ability to move freely through the different areas of our lives and the resu lt is stagnation which leads to the death of joy, happiness and abundance. Owl medicine then becomes crucial in helping us to clear out that which is no longer needed or wanted. What may seem like a death to us in the giving up of something may be for another the birth and manifestation of a dream. We are most likely to lose our way when we become enmeshed in the "shoulds" and "must haves" in life, most of which come not from our inner selves but from the opinions and beliefs of those around us. We can spend so much time listening to others about what we should want ( and the commercials on the telly and radio are prime examples of this!) that we ignore what we really want. We find ourselves spiraling downwards into the darkness because we have become so busy thinking we must pursue this or hunt that, most of which provides very little, if any, real nourishment.
Think for a moment what your life would be like if you were able to jettison anything that did not speak to you on a Soul level. What would remain? What then would you "hunt" because it provided for you on all levels? That is what Owl medicine teaches us to do. We find that as we begin to move through the process of what we truly want, clearing the old to make way for the new birth of the Self that is close at hand, we find that other obstacles, limitations, fears and anxieties also begin to "die" in our lives. They no longer have the hooks to remain attached to our energy fields and without our support, they must die.
Owl knows that all apparent manner of death is in fact a liberation into a new life. Something must first be cleared away for anything new to be born. When a person moves, leaves a job or relationship, has a baby, adopts a new animal friend, something in the old way of life had to die for the new to be created. At the time it may seem incredibly painful because we have been taught that death is an ending, not a new beginning, and that what is in the process of being born is always more beneficial than the old. The pain and grief is extended and heightened when we try to hang on to what was because we believe that s the best we would ever have. The unknown can seem dreadfully forbidding, how will we cope, who will be there if we stumble, what if we fail?
Owl can take us beyond those thoughts and fears, for Owl sees far into the future and knows that even after the darkest night there is a new dawn that is approaching. It is as inevitable as babies crying and of buds bursting for th from plants in the spring. From every death something new must emerge for life is ever renewing itself. The Crow that was taken by an Owl last summer may reappear the following spring as a nestling. The Berries that were eaten by a Bear one year may reappear the next as a bird, an ant or a human being. All of life is interconnected and we are all part and parcel of the same fabric that wends its way through the stories of our own life and death. Death then becomes not a loss but a new adventure to be explored with great abandon and joy.
Chakra - Root, Crown
Essential Oil - Rosemary, Lime, Cinnamon
Chant - Ti mah su
Planet - Pluto
Other Supportive Measures - Write a letter to a loved one who has passed over or light a candle for them for 7 consecutive days. Look back at some of the "deaths" in your life, how have they helped you to become the person you are today? Join a discussion or support group for death and dying, study the planet Pluto in your natal chart and note what deaths have occurred through the house where it is found and also the house where Scorpio is found on the cusp or contained within it. Hold a releasing ceremony, symbolically burying or burning anything you no longer want or need in your own life. Make up your own ritual for this and follow your own inner knowing or call upon Owl to help show you the way.

We all want to be debt free! Here is a ritual to help:
DEBT BANISHING RITUAL
Supplies:
Rolled parchment, 2 inches wide and as long as you like
One black pen
One purple candle
Oil of your choice
Incense of your choice
List all your debts on the parchment. Draw a banishing
"X" on the back of the parchment.
Carve a banishing "X" on the candle. Place the rolled
parchment in the candle holder then tighten the candle on
top.
Think of banishing your debts. Think of the feeling of
happiness and relief when the debts are banished. Light the
candle.
In your own words, ask the Universe to banish
the debt and replace with prosperous energy. Allow the
candle to burn completely. The paper will catch fire, so
watch what type of holder you are using (glass will break)
and that the candle holder is on a fire-safe surface.
As the candle burns, concentrate on banishing your debts,
your feelings of relief and happiness, and the coming
prosperity.

Book Review:
Nature Spirits & Elemental Beings: Working with the Intelligence in Nature
Based on firsthand practical experiences of communicating with natural spirits through meditation, this eye-opening guide to healing the earth teaches how to work with elemental beings by describing each in detail while defining their roles within the web of life.
As a result of tuning in to plants, trees, and animals, and illustrating the disrupted flow of energies within the landscape, the true impact of human culture upon the harmony of the natural world is evocatively revealed. Insight into related topics, such as how the long-suppressed Goddess culture embraces these energies to make strides toward healing the earth, can set anyone with earth and landscape concerns-gardeners, growers, designers, and builders-one step closer toward becoming environmental warriors.

Mangano Calcite
Mangano Calcite is one of our favorite stones. The energy is so sweet, we call it the "marshmallow stone"
It has a gentle but powerful energy, and is an excellent complement to energy healing modalities because of its excellent properties of energy magnification. It is a calming stone, that eases and heals the heart chakra. It fills the heart with universal love and self-love. It offers hope for the best. It heals inner child hurts and past abuse by filling one with a sense of motherly love.
It is also excellent for channeling and astral travel, and for studying and retaining information learned.
Physically, pink mangano calcite is beneficial for general health and healing, bones, joints, and physical heart issues. Use to release fear, to open your heart and move towards that which you desire.
Mangano Calcite in particular helps us to experience feelings of absolute safety within our own heart and can give us strength to cope with emotional pain.
Perfect for study or those who need a sharp memory and extra energy to get through their day, as it is an energy amplifier. Use to speed up your spiritual development.
Mangano calcite creates stability and trust in ourselves. Provides a state of constancy. It helps us to overcome difficulties and to put our ideas into action. It enhances memory and makes us more energetic, industrious and successful. Helps to alleviate fear.
