Hello Everyone!
We
are very happy to announce the following freee talk and booksigning. We
hope you can make it out to meet Dan Furst. Let's show our visiting
author a warm welcome and good

Living by the Moon Talk &
Book Signing with Astrologer Dan Furst
|
March 9th (Tuesday), 7:00 pm
Dan
Furst - astrologer, author, actor, playwright, and artist - will be
signing copies of his new book Dance of the Moon: Celebrating the
Sacred Cycles of the Earth. Dance of the Moon offers a guided tour of
the various calendars of the world and shows how they developed in tune
with humanity's own spiritual evolution. From the Egyptian feast of
Thoth to the Celtic fire festivals, from the Chinese lunisolar year to
the lunar-based calendar of the Muslim world, and the Mexican Day of
the Dead. More than theory, this book is a virtual treasury of rituals
to affirm our ties to nature.
He will also talk about an era
when the moon was our only calendar, and explore all the timekeeping
systems that have been held sacred ever since by peoples all over the
world. He has a unique perspective, having lived and worked as an actor
and teacher worldwide including Egypt and Japan. He currently resides
in Peru.

About Dan's Book-
Dance of the Moon: Celebrating the Sacred Cycles
of the Earth
|
Dance of the Moon offers a guided tour of the various calendars
of the
world and shows how they developed in tune with
humanity's own
spiritual evolution. More than theory, this book is
a virtual treasury
of rituals to affirm our ties to nature.
Travel back to an era
when the moon was our only calendar, and
explore all the timekeeping
systems that have been held sacred
ever since by peoples all over the
world. From the Egyptian
feast of Thoth to the Celtic fire festivals,
from the Chinese
lunisolar year to the lunar-based calendar of the
Muslim world,
and the Mexican Day of the Dead, Dance of the Moon will
take
you on a cross-cultural tour of traditions, pagan rituals, and
practices throughout history that honor life's cycles.
Discover
the Mayan calendar as a soul evolution tool. You will
also uncover the
reasons why the year 2012, called the Mayan
"end of time," actually
marks the end of ignorance. What does
it all really mean?
Explore
the spiritual underpinnings of the Pagan Wheel of the Year alongside
holy days from communities spanning several generations
and thousands
of miles. Learn about a wide array of deities,
symbols, plants, and
elements that are sacred to each month
of the year.
Just as the
rhythms of the moon and the earth resonated long ago
for our ancestors,
these life-affirming cycles persist today in the
rituals and festivals
of the Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, Taoists,
Christians, and the indigenous
peoples of Africa and the Americas. Reconnect with nature and dance
along with life's sacred rhythms.
Dance of the Moon also takes
an amazing look at the
and Esbats of Celtic, Druid, and Wiccan
traditions, linking
them to Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Taoist, Egyptian,
and
other cultural customs. Discover why a calendar is ideal
for
certain cultures and why the number 13 became unlucky.
Learn to
dance along with life's sacred rhythms on this
cross-cultural tour of
traditions, rituals, and practices throughout
history. |

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.
Squirrel Medicine
Squirrel, ever the good boy scout, knows
the value of being prepared for the future! Squirrels are members of
the rodent family, and there are several different types of Squirrels
including the Red, Grey, Flying and Black. Each carries a unique energy
vibration yet there are many qualities that all of their kind
represent.
Squirrels are by nature very playful, engaging animals. Extremely
curious and a bit of a daredevil as well, many times I have observed
Squirrels going out of their way to tease dogs and cats as well as
birds. Their lightening like reflexes and agility in climbing out of
harms way allows them to enter territory that may otherwise be
injurious, even fatal for them. This too is an indication that those
who carry this medicine may often find that they can enter into areas
where others without their ability to run and leap out of the way, may
find themselves in some very hot water indeed. In some ways, Squirrel
people almost feel compelled to challenge the status quo so to speak,
especially if they feel by doing so they may gain something that could
be very helpful for them in the future. It is important though that
Squirrel people not give in to their impulse to challenge those that
are rightfully on their own "turf" just for the fun of it. Otherwise,
eventually these folks will find that they have gotten themselves in
just a little too deep and may have a difficult time scrambling out
again. Squirrels do tend to make close relationships with other
creatures that are as intelligent and curious as they are.
Squirrels always seem to have a plan in mind before they embark on
anything and do not tend to rush in "willy-nilly". Studying Squirrels
for a number of years now, I have noticed that they really appear to
scope out a given situation, calculating the risks and potential
pay-offs for taking those risks. So too do people who carry this
medicine need to calculate carefully the risks involved before
embarking on anything, especially major, long term goals. While
Squirrel medicine is excellent for preparing and storing resources away
for the future, they also have a quick, nervous energy that indicates
they are not really suited for very long term projects. Its much better
for Squirrel people as a general rule to seek out advantageous
situations where they can get in, get what they need and get out again
quickly. Because these animals are potential prey for many other
animals, or may get hoisted by their own petard by teasing or even
provoking other creatures, they need to move cautiously yet quickly.
Otherwise they may end up exposing themselves to being preyed upon by
others. The way for Squirrel people to get around this is by connecting
with those who are more suited to working towards long range goals and
as long as the Squirrel person pulls their fair share of the load, all
will be well. The Squirrel person is apt to be able to finish smaller
tasks more quickly and efficiently than one who is apt to spend too
much time making sure all the details are in order. The Squirrel person
can quickly scope out a situation, knows what actions need to be taken
and simply does them. If the goal needs to be kept under wraps, its
important that the Squirrel person heed the need for silence. By
nature, Squirrels are very noisy and talkative, and so too very often
are those who carry Squirrel medicine.
Because of their need and ability to communicate so well,
Squirrel people would do well to take up they study of body language.
Squirrels use their bodies, especially their tails to communicate with
others of their group. Because of this, Squirrel people may often find
that they learn about and from a person by paying attention to the
person's body language rather than their words. Too, Squirrel people
may also need to develop a "poker face" so that they don't give the
show away if something needs to be kept quiet! Squirrel people may also
find that they have a tendency to chatter on and on about anything and
everything. This can be a huge time and energy drain if the person is
simply using this as an outlet rather than getting on with preparing
for the future and taking the practical actions that need to be taken.
If one finds that many people come to one "just to chat" they may be
carrying Squirrel medicine and find they get pulled into conversations
for far longer than they had originally intended. It may be very
helpful for these folks to allow the answerphone to pick up rather than
answering the phone themselves so they can selectively choose when and
with whom they wish to chat. An amazing number of Squirrel people I
have known have had numerous problems with telemarketers and I have
even known a few who WERE telemarketers!
For all their playfullness, Squirrels are also very practical and
focused on making sure their storehouse is full for the coming months.
So too do Squirrel people or those that have Squirrel appear as a
temporary guide need to pay attention to their own storehouse of
resources, and not just money. Time and energy are valuable resources
as well and if one has been wasting time instead of focusing on
projects and goals, then they will find themselves slipping further and
further behind as time goes on. Other things may also begin to fall
apart and this is a sign that one needs to get one's "house in order".
Squirrel can be very helpful to call upon if one is always
procrastinating. Its ability to quickly get the job done can be a real
asset and the energy that is freed by finishing up the old allows brand
new and more positive beginnings to occur. Often times when people feel
deeply stuck in a rut, its because they have many unfinished projects,
plans and goals that either need to be worked on or released. Its no
shame to admit that a goal that was once important no longer is, far
better to accept that one has out - grown it and move on! Squirrel
knows that only those things that are going to sustain it in the future
are important. So focus on those things that are apt to bring you more
of what will sustain you and allow the rest to go.
Often Squirrel will begin to make its presence known when one needs to
begin preparing for the future in some way. For example, I always know
when I need to order extra bottles for Morningstar when Squirrel
suddenly appears. For someone else, it may be a need to start saving
more money. I have a friend who got the intuitive hit that she needed
to begin saving extra money and as it turned out, her car went on the
fritz and she needed that extra money to have it repaired. Someone else
suddenly began cleaning out his home, jettising things he had long kept
in storage. A short while later, he came across a wonderful new home.
The whole process of moving was made much easier because he heeded what
his intuition was telling him when Squirrel started appearing. He had
been searching for a new home for quite some time and I think that
Squirrel knew that the things he had stored were holding him back from
finding it. Sometimes we all store things thinking we will use them
some day, but here again, hanging on to too many things blurs our
vision of what is truly important for a happy and fulfilled life.
Some other things to pay attention to when Squirrel appears:
Now is the time to clean our inner houses, set some goals and figure
out what resources we are going to need to pull them off as time goes
on, make a game plan so you are in control
of where your life is headed. Put your plans down on paper and go over
them
daily if you can or least thrice a week. Make them concrete in terms of
taking
action such as setting aside money, or doing research or what ever else
it may
take. You don't need to take quantum leaps but even the tiniest baby
steps are
going to get you further faster than ever before.
In keeping with the above, now is a great time to go
through your home and toss out anything you no longer want or need in order to
prepare for the new. Give what you can to others, spend time each day blessing
everything and everyone in your life. Jot down at least three things each day
that you are grateful for. Think of how much you have already been given and do
something for those who have not as of yet been able to receive as much as you
have and affirm that they too are now opening to their greater good!
Take some time to play, be kind to yourself, give yourself some time this month to
reflect on all that happened in your life this past year. Celebrate what was
good and bless the not so good as well and lay it to rest as best you can.
Finish what needs to be finished so you can move fully into the Light filled
year that is soon to come!
Make sure that things in your home are in good working order. Squirrel
carries strong earth/material energy and a clean, uncluttered home
where things work properly also helps to provide a stable foundation
for the present as well as the future.
While Squirrel is not in and of itself an indication of
great wealth coming your way, it does support one in laying the
foundation for more money energy to begin moving into your life. Paying
attention to your intuition, doing the practical things you know within
you need to be doing will also help attract other prosperity totems
such as Buffalo.
You may find that you need to learn a new skill or two, or
you find yourself embarking on a new course of study when Squirrel
appears. This too can greatly increase your ability to attract more
resources to yourself.

CHARM TO SECURE EMPLOYMENT
Take a green handkerchief or a piece of green cloth roughly that size, lay it
flat with one of the corners facing you. Place upon it 3 cardamom seed,
a bay leaf and a sprig rosemary (or 1 tsp. of dried herb). These herbs surround you in self-confidence and attract energy. Cardamom
sweetens your personality and brings out your natural eloquence. Bay
leaves are symbols of success and triumph. Rosemary is a herb of
achievement and mental alertness. Tie the corners together with a length of string, so that you have a little bundle of herbs. Before each interview, hold this bundle and visualize yourself walking into the
interview room, radiating confidence
imagine yourself being in a position to pick and chose jobs at will.
Carry this to your job interviews.
And accept that any rejection is a sign
from the universe that the job was not right for you.

Part I: The Angels Speak about
Using our Psychic Gifts in the Everyday World . . . The Angels have requested that I
do a series of articles on what are known as the "clairs," the various components
of our intuitive or psychic abilities. "Clair" is the Latin or French
derivation for "clear through extra sensory perception" so, attached to a word
means, for example, clear hearing, clear
seeing, etc. The best known, of
course, is probably clairvoyant which means someone can see that which is unseen or hidden from general view. There are
other clairs, i.e. we hear, taste, smell, and feel, and know as well as see. Have you ever just had a feeling something was going to happen?
These types of feelings, often labeled bad or ominous, are also called premonitions.
This is clairsentenience. Have you ever
just known the truth of something i.e. it has resonated with you on some level
deep within despite the fact you never studied it or knew it on a conscious level? Have you ever heard a voice
seemingly out of no where tell you either to do or not to do something? This was, in
all probability, your Guardian Angel, giving you life saving advice. This is
clairaudience. Have you ever experienced other
sensations, feelings, and thoughts you could not explain? These are all part
of your clairs. . .your abilities which exist outside the mental or left side mentality
in which this society puts its greatest value. .at least to date. Sometimes we
name these recalls of past events as déjà vu'but they are perhaps better
examples of clairvoyance and clairaudience, perhaps even clairsentience and
clairessence. (clear smell)
We can also become
more intimate with these abilities as we work with them and use them. We
learn which ones within us are strongest; and which ones tend to be the
weakest just as we learn when we exercise the physical body which parts respond
the best and which are slow to respond.
Note: The Angels would like to
remind you of two basic premises on which we operate: The Truth shall set you free. . . The answers lie within. . . For this article, I would like to
focus on clairaudience or clear hearing
AKA clear listening. If you feel as if your day to day life drowns out
your own Spirit or the voice of any spiritual
voice coming in, you are certainly not alone. So, if you are feeling it wasn't
really meant to be this way; tied increasingly to your technology rather than to
yourself, perhaps you are ready to make a change. Ready to take another step in
the unfoldment of remembering that there is more to life than what is currently
before you. . that it is time to start to listen. Some symptoms you are being
pushed already to listen: Do you have humming in your ears, or a sort of Morse
code that comes and goes? Do you hear music in the far distance that comes and
goes? Do you hear an internal voice advising you or do you think you hear the
Earth itself moving/ shifting? Well, I am here to tell you that
you're not going crazy; not even close. You are being elevated in your
awareness i.e. your vibration is being increased and you are becoming
more aware of the unseen world. How to start a listening
practice: Find a quiet place for yourself. Startwith 3-5 minutes. ( Turn everything
off or put all electronics on vibrate) (As you become
comfortable with the silence, begin to increase the time spent listening and simply being.)
Sit still and
allow the breath to fall deep into the very pit of your stomach, breathe out,
again,
allowing
the breath to go deep, again, allow the breath to go deep, and breathe out . . .
relax into the safety of the stillness within. . .go deep again as necessary. .
your Angels will meet you there . . then. sit still in this space and just
listen . . .
This
is your safe place. . your sanctuary . . . Allow yourself to just be .
. . do nothing . . . breathe . . . listen. . . .
and so it is . . .

Featured Rock
Blue Lace Agate
Blue lace agate is a gentle, calming stone that engenders
tranquility. Blue lace agate brings with this calm and tranquility a
lessening of anger, even deep anger issues, and a calming of
nervousness.
Spiritually, blue lace agate assists
in flight, grace, reaching higher Spiritual planes, communicating with
angels and activates the throat chakra. It can help bring stronger
intuition and inner knowing. Inspiration is another hallmark of blue
lace agate and that can assist in inner attunement, and has been said
to be useful for performing miracles.
Blue lace
agate is considered a stone of communication. It can ease the harsh
edge off communication in difficult times, enhance public speaking, and
smooth discussions. It also brings tactfulness to speech and written
communications. Blue lace agate is used in crystal healing to reduce or
cure stuttering and other nervous speech habits and patterns.
As with all agates, Blue lace agate is a protective stone. Its
protective energies are more gentle and subtle than some stones, but it
is effective nonetheless. It can be particularly effective when calling
upon angels for protection.
In the crystal
healing realm, blue lace agate has been used to aid with arthritis,
headaches, colic, digestive issues, growth, throat, skin especially
eczema, and bones.
Blue lace agate is related to the element of Air, the throat chakra, and the zodiac sign Pisces
Rock Lore & Tidbits: George Swanson discovered blue lace
agate on his farm, Ysterputs Farm, in Namibia, which was called South
West Africa at the time. He coined the term "Gem of Ecology" for it
because of the swirling blues and whites which resemble clouds above
the Earth (the fragile blue marble) as seen from space. The best blue
lace agate in the world still comes from the narrow seam on George's
farm.
