Just had a dream that
I was at some sort of fair or conference
and a belly dance instructor
that I think I've seen before on youtube or something like that
was telling me that I was too much in my head
that I needed to start thinking with my heart
to be more inside of my heart or heart chakra
that she didn't know how my head had not exploded yet!
Good advice strange belly dancer lady...

Totem Animals
Alright, so this blog might be a little vague and a little lengthy...there's my warning.
The Pagan Blog Prompt was about totem animals and what they have taught you...wow, what a subject. Whole books are written about these things.
-takes a deep breath-
My main spirit guide and totem animal is a dragon. He is very hard to describe but HUGE is an understatement. When I see him in my mind's eye I feel as small as the pupil of his eye. I know that his neck is longish and slender enough for me to ride upon the nape of his neck and press my hands against the back of his head.
I do not know his name...I don't think I can pronounce it in human tongue. It starts with an Akh.
Akh came to me when I was 13 years old and needed some help physically, spiritually, emotionally. I was under attack for the first time in my life by another witch, a boy who had been studying for a couple of years longer than myself and decided to attack me when I made it very clear I had no intention of working with him or dating him.
I had no one to turn to who would not think I was crazy and I kept having dreams that he would turn into this great naga (man snake) and wrap me in his tail and crush me to death.
Then, one evening I curled up in a ball on my bed and I began to pray to whoever would listen. "Please protect me, please." The prayer slowly began to change in my head, like the words were twisting themselves without my help. Suddenly I was chanting, and I sadly never wrote this chant down nor did I ever use it after that night, so I can't share it with you but it had something about Great Dragon, wings of night then rhymed with flight and might...eh -shrugs-.
That night I had no nightmares. Instead I dreamt I was sleeping against a wall of scaled muscle, perfectly safe and warm. This went on for a week and slowly I noticed the guy who was attacking me looking very, very tired. I never asked him about what happened, but he did call me one night when a mutual friend of ours was in a car accident and in the hospital. We talked for a bit but it was very strained and unnaturally polite on his part.
As for me and Akh. I saw him more and more. Soon I was able to make out the coloring of his great body (all grey and blue and black and purple). His astral realm is dark mostly and when he shows me things its like water reflecting images.
Akh was there for me when I went to the Coptic Conference and Dick Sutfen lead us to meditate and foresee the year 2012. He protected me and assured me that I was safe even though some of the things I saw were frightening.
Something I noticed about dragons, talking to others who have them as guides, is that they sleep for long periods of time. Sometimes months, sometimes years. I always know when he's sleeping and when he is awake. When he is awake I only have to close my eyes and he's there. Even though he is large its like I can feel him inside of me, wrapped around my spine, resting in my heart, throat and third eye chakras.
Damon has met my dragon before. He was astral projecting while I slept and he said it was like a great wall of scales and then it moved and looked at him. He told Damon his name...but he too only received an Akh sound, leaving me to believe we cannot pronounce it. He said that even though the Dragon know he wouldn't hurt me, he was still protective of me while I slept and wouldn't let Damon peek in on me while unconscious.
The only other person to talk to me about my dragon was a man I worked with for a little while named Michael. He said he knew a few others with Dragon guides but few that were as big and strong as Akh. That he had once had a vision about dragons and the relaying message was that come 2012 there will be 9 and 1. Not 10 but 9 and 1. He said he normally didn't tell people about that because he didn't really know what it meant but felt that I should know and that it should mean something to me.
Strangely enough I didn't think about pagan things when I heard it but was reminded of a verse from the Bible, Revelations about the 10 horns on the head of the beast with the little horn in the middle. It was the first thing that came to mind and still makes me curious. I'd love to know if anyone else has any clue about this from a prophetic or intellectual (and non-evangelical) standpoint.
Other than that, Akh is always with me. I feel him now even as I type. He doesn't seem to care much that I talk about him, heh.

Divination Tools Etsy List
Divination is an aspect of the Craft that I am very drawn to and I love all the different ways witches have to scry and divine past, present, future, answers to questions, inner conflict, etc.
My favorite means of divination are via cards (Tarot and oracle), a bowl of water, or my black Rainbow Obsidian sphere. I also scry using fire either by candle light or at the hearth.
I would like to learn to read tea leaves at some point - a combination of two of my favorite things Tea drinking and Divination!
Playing around on Etsy I decided to make a treasury list of some very nice divination tools I've come across.
Do you scry or divine? What is you're favorite way to scry? What have you used and what has worked or not worked for you?

Vibrations, 2012, and Dragons
Sunday I attended the Coptic Conference with a group of friends and Night. While the Conference is from Friday through Sunday I had to miss the first two days due to the fact that I didn’t know about the conference until it was too late to plan for days off and save money for a weekend-long event.
The Coptic Conference: How to Recognize Your Personal Power in a Changing World is presented by Coptic Fellowship International and the Tri-Cities Metaphysical Study Group. It was held at the Holiday Inn in Johnson City.
The conference has psychic readers and intuitives like Ethel Crites, Kim Crowe, and Evelina Everidge, as well as speakers, and a wonderful bookstore.
I was not able to see any of the readers (though I am told that Kim Crowe and Ethel Crites were both quite excellent) since I was late on learning about the conference. I did get to sit on three lectures Sunday.
The first lecture I attended I was late because we were checking out the bookstore (I’ll get to that loveliness in a bit).
Paul Rademacher, author of A Spiritual Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe: Travel Tips for the Spiritually Perplexed, gave his lecture: Hitchhiking to Wonder – Spirituality, Consciousness, and the Kingdom of Heaven.
Paul is an ex-minister of the Presbyterian church. He decided to obtain his Masters of Divinity after having a near-death/out of body experience while working in construction. It was during his time as a minister that Paul found a book written by Robert Munroe and found that he was not alone in his experience. Slowly he studied Munroe and was later invited to work at the Munroe Institute.
Favorite parts of the lecture:
He was hilarious. Something I won’t forget is him calling Presbyterians the “Frozen Chosen.”
In his studies he actually invited a few of his church to participate in some of the Munroe tape studies. O.O
After a small break, and our group rejoining (one of my friends had a reading by Cheryl Berry) we attended a second lecture, one I was a lil’ skeptical of at first due to the words Intuitive Healer. I am a firm believer in medicine and would not, under other circumstances, put myself in a situation where my health might be in some unprofessional’s hands.
Patti Conklin is a Medical Intuitive and is able to pull disease out of the body. I have had a few people I know be healed by her and their accounts are…well, nothing short of miraculous. In order to cleanse herself of the diseases she pulls out during healings Patti will spend entire nights vomiting and having diarrhea. She assured us that she is not in pain and that her 6 out of 7 nights of doing this is perfectly natural. She does not want anyone to worry about her. She is also the author of Healing Within.
Her lecture: Don’t Wish Life, Live Life – What Kind of Existence is in our Future?
Patti shared with us that she normally does not have prophetic dreams but on Easter she will usually have dreams about what will come in the future.
She told us that by July the economic crisis would be over with, that there would be mass relationship upheaval, and that something would happen from 4/20 to 4/22 (but I think this might be personal for her).
Patti explains that Communication has changed. That words and judgment has made us dense to vibrational frequency. She explained that the Universe is made up of harmonic tones (sound and color). She also explains that the body is made up of right and left hemisphere and that illness is caused by emotional cores within our cells. When we feel anger (whether or not we act upon it) it will deposit and record in our body. In order to be healthy we have to change the way we think.
After sharing all this with us she asked a few questions about her healing then began to let us experience her raised frequency (her frequency I guess can be translated as energy, how powerful her aura, herself is). Normally we all, according to Patti, function on a 28-35 level. She can and is comfortable at an 80.
As she raised her level gradually she asked what we were experiencing. Many had heightened sight of aura, saw Patti looking younger, and generally felt good. I, on the other hand, had a headache, felt alternatively hot and freezing, was about to vomit, wanted to cry, and felt pressure on my chest that was almost unbearable.
When it was over I rested my head on the chair in front of me and tried to ground myself. It was…horrible. My friends assured me that I was ok and that it either meant that there was far too much energy in the room and my having only been there that one day while everyone else had been there all weekend may mean I was more sensitive or that I had had an illness that Patti pulled out of me.
I ask that if anyone decided to raise their frequency around me, please give me warning to go into another room.

SHIT: Spiritual Human In Transition
FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real
FEAR: Forgetting Every Available Resource
The last lecture of the weekend/day was by acclaimed author and new age celebrity: Richard Sutphen. Dick has worked for some time on prohypnosis, past life regression, etc. He has written a few books, the most recent of which (and one that a friend of mine is letting me borrow when she’s done) is Soul Agreement.
His lecture: The Shift – December 21, 2012
Dick started out by telling us what to expect, as we get closer to Dec. 21, 2012. First, he does not think that everything will just happen on Dec. 21 (which is kinda cool since I might be recuperating from birthday celebrations on the 20th).
The time of 2012 is called the Big Shift, Great Purification, Final Days of Misfortune, a Spiritual Awakening. We’re told to expect a Pole Shift, Global Warming, a new Ice Age.
Dick informed us that we are all here, born in this time to live through 2012 when the Big Shift occurs. He explains that we chose this because through experiencing the Big Shift this will cause us to move forward a number of past lives (one author says 1000).
He informed us that the Earth’s vibrational rate is increasing. The rotation rate is also increasing, we are now living 16 hr days. Life and lives are going faster.
He went on to explain how native peoples around the world all are watching for 2012. IN Austrailia they expect Purification and a Back to the land thinking in the world. He also explained the Hopi prophecy and how they have changed from talking about the coming hour to “This is the Hour” and that it is a time of great purification.
The Big Shift will be made up of Purification, then Transformation, then Renewal.
Dick suggests a sort of enlightenment and reconnection psychically, a 4th dimension (where we now live in the 3rd and the 5th is made up of pure love).
There will be hard times though.
Scientists predict 50 million driven from their homes by weather every year.
The Earth’s alignments will shift.
People will die.
Dick led us all into a hypnosis/guided meditation where we projected forward in time to 2012.
We contacted out spirit guides and asked to be shown 6 things.
What should I be doing in the economic crisis?
Where should I be in 2012 (physical location)?
What should my career be?
Show me New York at 2012
Show me London at 2012
Show me my home at 2012
When it was over he asked people to share what they saw in New York. Many saw chaos, people rioting (lack of good term) in Central park, destruction of buildings, the subways being flooded, the sky a mix of red and yellow.
Then he asked about London. Again people saw destruction, but there was disagreement on whether it was equal or better or worse for the people there. A lot of people saw flooding or even ice (or were cold).
When asked to go back to their home many saw Appalachia as doing a lot better off.
I left shortly after because the lecture ran a lot longer than scheduled and a friend had to go to work.
Other:
He asks that we check out the book “The Vanishing Face of Gaia.”
Other than the lectures and all that deep stuff there was the AMAZING BOOKSTORE!
Some of the booths were run by people from Atlantis in Johnson City, The Glass Dove (Janet Vancil), Elain Watson, used and new book sellers, some of the lecturers, and many artists.
There was one artist whose email and name I have lost and would love to get back in contact with her. Her artwork: shadow boxes of beautiful sculptures, including one called Metamorphoses that I absolutely loved (it was a female sculpture with green, leaf-like wings and an eternity symbol above her head). I almost cried when I looked at it though I know that sounds silly.
There was one booth that was selling stones and fetishes. I asked if they had a dragon fetish and all three of them went to work looking for it. After a lil while it seemed they would not find it at all and I told them not to worry about it and made to leave. Just a few steps and all three women called after me to wait (which was a lil embarrassing since a lot of people turned to look at me). They had found the piece hiding under a larger stone. It’s a goldstone dragon about the size of my palm and absolutely beautiful. I currently have sitting here next to me.
The Glass Dove sold stained glass pendants that were beautiful (especially the green and gold leaves). The one I bought, though a lil too pricey, was a purple glass piece, etched in silver, and encased in copper. The etching is of a Indian style hand that almost looked Hennaed. I put it on a copper chain when I got home.
I also bought a dragon poison necklace from a booth set up by a shop from Greeneville (I really wish I could remember the names of these places).
If I had had more money I probably would have bought a lot more. There were medicine wants, pendulums, stones, books, fairies, pamphlets, cds, and on and on.
I’ll definitely save up for next year, maybe buy a session and do some past life regression or something.
