Necessary Items against the Unnecessary Evil

I realized that after finishing my last blog post, I needed to help those out there with "softer, kinder" energies to protect themselves against emotional energy bullies.  It isn't just fortune tellers who end up with migraines from dealing with these types of people, if they aren't properly handled.  So, I have a list of items for you to pick up.  These don't have to cost a cent - don't you love Wicca!

Stones
Branches
Old glass
Candles
Sage
Sweet grass
Quack grass
Thistle root
Flowers
Catnip
Pearly Everlasting
Playing Cards
Ribbon


Images of: yellow, pink, peach flowers (if live ones not available); water in all its forms; ravens or other majestic birds; trees, alive and healthy; cats in historical art form, wildcats or domestic varieties; and stones, particularly those with runic inscriptions upon them, but photos or paintings of interesting stones will do as well.

So go on your treasure hunt first, and then I will instruct you how to use these items.  Happy hunting!

When the Bitter Come A Knocking

     Fire.  It is hypnotically beautiful.  It illuminates, provides heat, creates life. In the form of our great ball of fire, The Sun, it has a magical energy that heals depression and internal cancers. When dealing with certain types of people, however, using even a tiny amount of fire energy via candles during a session can actually cause energy overload.
     The flickering of the candles, though, can provide a warning for the fortune teller.  They will be more active than normal, twist and bend away from the person who has this extra charge of negative energy about them.  At this point, the medium should snuff out the candles, place a glass of water before the negative persons place at the table and smudge the room.

     I have dealt with these people, several times; they carry a lot of anger, have ill intentions, avoid self blame and bounce negativity towards those in their immediate surroundings.  When you have, say, three people at your table and even one is casting their energy off, it will exaggerate whatever emotions the other two individuals are dealing with at the time. 
    The medium should be very careful how they explain what the cards are trying to say, in this case, because the reaction to any advice is now "charged".  Be prepared to have an "unimpressed" attitude cast at you, the fortune teller, from the negative "fire" energy people.
