Parental Paradigms

     Being Canadian, I have the luxury of special coins called toonies that are the equivalent of two dollars.  These are larger than loonies (one dollar coins) and I designate them to represent people's parents. 

These parents can be the people who have raised you, the people you were born from, or the people you choose to have in your life as mentors. 

    Usually elderly, these folks and their coin counterparts, can be hard to deal with at times.  Other times, their absence can cause a void one cannot replace.  When the spirits try to talk to you through toonies, put your own opinions aside and just listen.

     Toonies that fall off counters indicate you will be on your own for a major life decision.  They aren't ignoring your plight - they just have things to do.  If they roll underneath something and remain missing, you might as well assume your parents are about to take a much needed vacation.

     Sometimes toonies hide inside the bottom of people's purses, and refuse to be found.  This sign you can take personally.  It means your opinion or recent actions haven't made a good impression on your parental figures and they don't feel like arguing or discussing this topic right now.

     If your toonie is exceptionally cold to the touch, note which side of the coin is facing up.  My methods use the Queen for the maternal and the flipside for paternal.  Coldness is a warning of potential illness or injury, possibly death, so don't take complaints of pain or depression lightly if your toonies are cold.  Take the time to warm up your parents' hearts with a visit or gift.
