Power Animals Around the World
The concept of Animal Spirit Guides (or, here, “Power Animals”) is not unique to any particular culture, though a lot of people will immediately think of Native American or Meso American cultures. This is where we get a lot of the neo-shamanic practices of Animal Medicine or Totem Animals, but it’s important to recognize that…

All About Strawberries
Wow, has it been a busy week! I’m sorry I’m getting this out to you late, but my little brother came to visit this weekend and we had WAY too much fun! No strawberries, though. Here’s a “guest appearance” I did on Paranormal Avians where Birdy and I both chime in on how to use…

Simple Shielding 2.0
Way back in Psychic Defenses we learned how to create a simple shield of white light surrounding us. Did you know you can customize and “upgrade” your shield with all sorts of functions? For example, when I was younger I was painfully shy and I didn’t want to be noticed at all, so I created a…
