Altar

There are two types of shamanism. One is called "agricultural" and the other is called "nomadic". Recently, I have been getting numerous lessons in nomadic shamanism. Part of the nomadic process is that tools and ritual objects are portable.As I have been traveling, I have been using a small portable altar and to bless this, I prayed intensely on a seven day candle. One hour after lighting the candle, the top of the glass blew off, it made a substantial ball of fire and it set off our smoke detector. I assumed from this omen that the altar had been turned on and was now functioning full force! This altar is an altar I use to work with the goddess and all her mysteries. Part of those mysteries is Kundalini shakti. I often meditate with the forces for both insight and energy to begin the day's work, which is a number of email readings going out simultaneously. Ritual often produces omens and it is through omens we sense the deities.

Solar and Lunar Power

I often do prayer vigils to accompany my reading sessions. Central to my spiritual work is working with the solar power. The Sun is the healer, the sacred fire and the Lord of Light. The Sun always goes hand in hand with the Moon. They become the Lord and Lady of spiritual work. The Moon gives the vision and allows us to see the spirits, the invisible world and facilitates in doing psychic work. The Sun becomes the healer. Often in invoking the solar power, we use fire or a candle, along with prayer. This type of work is how spiritual work was done in the olden times. Nothing in divination is fixed. The mere reason something can be seen is to find a way to improve that situation. Rarely is something written in the stars, as an absolute.
Fire and Water go hand in hand. Water becomes the symbol of purification and relates to holy water. It is also water that is used as a visionary tool for seeing . Fire is a tool for healing.
