Dancing With the Soul Tribe


The belief in soul tribe is one that puts forth the notion that we are reconnected in this lifetime with various "soul friends" if you will, from past lives. They are from our spiritual world and we run into them in this lifetime in order to remind us of things we may have forgotten while bound by this human uniform. They come to us in all forms: pets, friends, lovers. The lovers come to us with reminders of the hardest of lessons we chose to face during this path, while the rest of the "family" pops in to keep you sane as you follow your earthly path. These family members, in charge of your sanity check, are your kindred spirits. For the most part, the dance with them is smooth and rhythmic like a graceful waltz with only an occasional misstep, as opposed to the dance of the soul mate, which is rather like the 1970's dance floor gyration called "The Bump." The Bump has an air of seduction and underlying potential, yet one full swing of the hip will set a person flying to the ground. It's much easier to waltz, yet the allure of the disco ball has you dusting yourself off and hoping your partner will return to help you up. If they don't arrive right away due to unforeseen circumstances, (like the need to freshen their breath, tie their shoes and comb their hair before spinning you around again), your kindred spirits come to lend you a hand so you can continue to dance. If they accidentally step on your toe try to forgive them as they are pretty old friends of yours. And as for the soul mate, some song lyrics do come to mind" Well, shake it up, baby, now, (shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout. (twist and shout)
Cmon cmon, cmon, cmon, baby, now, (come on baby)
Come on and work it on out."

The Soul Mate Connection

When asked to do readings for people I would have to say that the vast majority of the questions are on relationship concerns. One of the most frequently asked questions are about the soul mate connection. The soul mate connection is a wonderful connection yet it most often a difficult one, at least in the beginning. It amuses me when I see advertisements about finding your “soul mate”. The ads make it appear as if this is the fairy tale match of your lifetime “The perfect man/woman to meet your every romantic desire”. Is there really such a thing? Well, I’d have to say yes and no. A soul mate relationship is a very special connection unlike any other. What characterizes a soul mate relationship? How do you know you are in one? Here are a few clues: Do you and this other person often have a “mind meld” where you are both thinking the same thing at the same time? Do you find that you have so much in common with each other? The more you get to know them, the scarier it becomes in how t

This is a picture of my drum. I went outside today at noon and drummed for 15 minutes. The sky got darker and sure enough rain drops started to fall. I am not egotistical nor have I become delusional enough to think that I am so" powerful" that this was my own doing. I would like to think that it was a result of a collective power of thought aimed at easing the fires in Colorado which was done by many people all over the country, all in their own unique way. I am skeptical as I see that storms are and have been in the forecast for today and the next day or two after that. Anyone who watches the news, reads the paper or has a smart phone need only to have looked to see that information which has been out there since yesterday at least. There are scientific explanations for what mother nature will do next. Is it possible that collective thought process can manipulate the timing of the expected? I suppose that it is not out of the question. What I find more exciti

Coffee Bean Divination

I went to a great book store the other day called "Upstart Crow." They have some wonderfully fun books that are offbeat. I could easily spend the better part of a day just browsing through all they have to offer. I bought 2 really fun books on knitting, one by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee (a self proclaimed yarn harlot!) who puts humor into knitting and draws life lessons from it as well. I will write more about that in my other blog specifically for knitters so as not to bore the rest of the readers. The other book I bought is called "Cafe Nation." It's a book about the history, folklore and magick of coffee! The book includes recipes, potions and shows you how to brew Turkish coffee which apparently is a must for coffee magic. The book includes a unique divination system you can learn using coffee beans. It is modeled on the ancient I Ching method of divination. I love the I Ching sometimes known as The Book of Changes. The I Ching is a book of verses thought to be
