Aura Pictures

After a long and leisurely vacation in California, our Aura camera has returned, refreshed and ready for work.

Aura pictures take a photo of your aura using bio-feedback and interprets that information into visual and printed information. An aura picture generally shows a color field around you, with possibly varying colors around your head, shoulders and over your face and chest. Each of these colors in their positions tells something about you. The overall picture is beautiful and insightful.

Barbara can do extended interpretations that explain everything on the picture that the print out did not cover. She has twenty years experience in aura interpretation and teaches classes on how to see and read auras. She is available for interpretations Thursdays through Mondays.

Aura picture with the printed interpretation is $30.00

Barbara’s extended interpretation is an additional $10.

Joseph Ward - Intuitive Listenings Fridays 1-5pm

Joseph Ward is one of the most profound psychics I have personally met, though to call him a psychic or to say he does readings isn’t entirely correct. He listens to your questions, listens to the answer from the divine and then gives that answer back to you. He calls the sessions “Listenings”.

I have gone to him a number of times when I was ready to do major life changing work and he has always been able to hold up just exactly the right mirror for me to look at. He has helped me recognize what doors or avenues available to me, and is even willing to help answer the simple questions I’ve proposed to him. While Joseph is not your normal psychic, his “Listenings” have impacted my life many times over.

Joseph is now doing mini Listenings at Aquarius every Friday from 1pm to 5pm. For those of you that know him from the Oracles of Aquarius Psychic Fair we hold, he will not be doing the Soul Music on Fridays, but you can arrange a private appointment for both the music and full readings. His charge for this is $15 for 15 minutes.

The Traveling Band of Gypsy Nomads are coming back!

I had the opportunity to see them twice times last year, once at Denver when Barbara and I went to the New Age International Trade Show and again here at Aquarius. They were so entertaining that by the time they came here, I was looking forward to seeing them with giddy anticipation.

I'm thrilled they are coming back! They will be here July 11, 2008 from 8-10. They are colorful, artistic, bouncy people with a great sense of humor that shines through everything they do. By the end of the show here, I had a soft warm spot for the French language being sung. Samantha just has an amazing voice and offsets Scott’s Orcish grunting beautifully. No, Really.. there is a song sung completely in Orcish grunting!

It’s hard to sit still during their music and honestly, its encouraged that you don’t. They love to see dancers and we will make sure there is a big enough dance floor.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door and I know I’ll be there with the kids again. It was too much fun the first two times to miss when they come back through.

Beltain and A-Maying

Let’s go A-Maying and greet the Lord of the Forest and the Lady of May!

The name for May comes from the old Latin mag which means “to grow” and also is the root of the Goddess name Maia, the name of the month. The month of May brings in the festival of Beltain, later Christianized into the name of May Day. Bel or Belinus was the name of the primary Celtic deity of Beltain in Ireland and Beli Mawr in Wales. Originally this was a fertility festival and connected with the Lord of the Forest and the May Queen. It is the time to celebrate the Sacred Marriage between the Lord of the Greenwood and the Goddess as Earth Mother.

Celebration of May Day, one of the most festive of the year, often began with gathering flowers, setting up a May Pole and decorating it and then dancing and singing around it. A young maiden was crowned Queen of the May and later, during Christian times, this Queen of the May led processions in honor of the Virgin Mary. People celebrating May Day, the transition from winter to summer, lit bonfires as a part of the celebration to help hurry in the warmth of the sun after a long winter.

Food is magical and the foods associated with May Day are almonds, frankincense, cakes, cookies, red fruit, salad, honey and wine. Foods for fertility would be fig, grape, pomegranate, eggs, milk, poppy seeds, rice and sesame seeds. Foods for money and prosperity are allspice, almond, anise, basil, beans, cabbage, lobe, desserts, dill, eggplant, endive, fig, ginger, lettuce, mace, nutmeg, peanuts, pecans, sage, sesame seed, spinach and pineapple. (Taken from Magical Cookbook for the Kitchen Witch www.kitchenwitchstore.com. ) Early wine is not the best so was often flavored with woodruff and strawberries to make May Wine, appropriate as an offering of “first fruits” for the God and Goddess.

This holy day, as with other spring festivals, is associated with fertility, gain and prosperity so is an appropriate time to ask for these blessings. Direct the powers of your mind and light a green candle to attract prosperity or meditate with an egg, the symbol of fertility.

Modern celebrations of May Day have become varied and individual. Cammie, an employee www.aquariusbooks.com. and her group, have their own tradition at their feast. The members decided that they were no longer maidens and too old to be Queen of May and needed a new way to determine the ruling King and Queen. She makes a special pie, hides a male and a female trinket in it (this year it is an acorn and an oak leaf; another time it was a chalice and a blade) and the people who find the trinket become the King and Queen for the evening.

Cammie’s Beltain Pie

Large box of Chocolate Pudding
8 oz tub of Crème Cheese
8 oz Carton Sour Cream

Mix all the ingredients and pour into a graham cracker crust. Poke the two trinkets into the filling and cover with whipped cream. Place the pie in the middle of the table and each person takes a fork
eating until both trinkets are found.

The month of May has also long been associated with the gathering of fairies. As flowers bloom they herald the approach of summer and are a sign that the fairy folk are at work.
