Poetry for all – That’s the Spirit

 As a pre-launch to my book Tarot and Oracle Craft – Psychic Questing for Real, my publisher, Stairwell Books, invited me to participate in their annual Poetry for all evening.

“For All” meaning poems written and performed by the disabled,  LGBTQ+ and those who are neurodivergent. Considering my sight loss and MS etc, it felt quite appropriate to be there.

To see the evening follow this link: BSL signers and poems projected on a screen included.

I don’t write poetry so I asked my good friend, Teny Amey if I could read one of his.

“Healers” 

Why do our healers so often seem sick

And hobble along on a frame or a stick?

If each has the power of bringing good health

They’d surely then turn it back onto themselves

Or if that power must apply to some other

They could just form a circle for healing each other

 

Every week at the service, we bow and we pray

For spiritual healing to all that we say

For the world and its creatures, for famine and war

For the names that we put in our book by the door

Same thing every time, same prayer so appealing

Same victims endure with no sign of their healing

 

 Maybe we just need to try a new wave

That we dilute the power with so many to save

If we pick out the worst, most needing relief

And then focus all of our prayers and belief

On the one we elected, the cause of the week

Perhaps their prognosis won’t be quite so bleak

 

 It may not seem kind but you know it makes sense

To focus all power through a narrower lens

Overlooking the blisters and simple limb strains

For those in the agonies of life-changing pains

There’s just too much ill in the world of today

For spiritual healing to fix all that we pray

 

So let’s try it out and look for the proof

That cancer like magic can simply go Poof

Let us all pray for one deserving strong case

And focus all healing on just that one place

So then if that works we then have a clue

And can work down the list ‘til we end up with you

 

 During the interval I collected from donations for the MS Society. The interval was rather short for many readings! However I did do a reading as the event closed. I feel that that was the one that I had to do – it was very much needed.

 I wasn’t the only “star” – everyone was. The event itself was very well starred:

The heavens were with us. Look at Jupiter bang on the ascendant in mutual reception with the Moon in Pisces Spirit and poetry, the 9th house - that of broacasting and spirituality. Neptune is not far away  the mystical magic of words in this case. What a beautiful chart.

Guess What I did on Hallowene

 I wnet out on my broomstick... no a car to Brighton.

 I joined in the Fantasy and Horror Conevention and met my publisher, Rose Drew of Stairwell Books.

It's being published in March 2026.

The front cover could look something like this

I'm retired, it;s now over to you to find and experience the secrets of the universal energies. Good luck and really enjoy your creations.

The Pleiades are go and so much more

Heralding the magnificent Orion, the Pleiades can be seen in the eastern, (just north east) in the evening sky.

But, hey, better still – so I am glad I waited to post this –

Beneath it is the bright star Aldebaran, the eye of the Bull.

And when I saw this a few days ago, there was a third bright object below it. It was the comet Lemmon.

Now, a few days later the comet has moved northerly heading toward the plough. I even saw its tail.

You can see Saturn too

An easy way to spot these:

Face east after around 10pm  - East is where the Sun rises;

Straighten your arms in front to you, palms up;

Widen the distance of your hands and arms to 60 degrees (that is 11 and 1 on a clock face);

Raise your arms as if your face was at the centre of the clock;

Saturn is on your right hand, the Pleiades, on your left.

(all subject to the weather!).

 

Spirits grow old. Really?

 I was told at the local spiritual circle I go to that spirits can grow up in the afterlife. So I said what - 110 140? It's crazy! 🤣 

I suggested that “spirits” may appear in a clairvoyant  manner that can relate to the person for the reading or message.

Certainly makes more sense to me and the medium had to agree.

PS: When I'm dead and gone, I will make my essence felt without all those annoyng wrinkles!

When Enhancement is not Enchantment

 So, on the night of the lunar eclipse on the 7^th September 2025 at 7.25pm, I had a phone call: ”Come on, let’s go to the seafront to see the eclipse” (or the blood moon darkened by the penumbra and the thicker atmosphere through the horizon). The eclipse itself occurred below the horizon but we should have been able to see the Moon coming out of it.    

Of course there were clouds but we waited about half an hour and saw… well was it a bird? – ha no, a plane? – possibly or the Moon.

Yes there it was, not bloody but white and bright illuminating the surrounding clouds. This was  reminiscent of an awesome painting at my Grandparent’s home.

An exciting moment indeed. So memorable in many ways.

I also predicted that it would rise above my garden shed about 9.20  pm. I was right and with the fading clouds, it shone in all its beauty as it transited across the southeastern horizon. Awesome.

Later, I wanted to transfer the pictures to my computer. My phone suggested an enhancement. I went with it and got a “stock” shot of the Moon. No memories, no excitement nor spontaneity. I was relieved it didn’t delete the original.

This is an example of the now deleted impage - many thanks to NASA.

A new wonderful WAND

A brilliant present from my son.

It'll make hallowene even more exciting!

The Pendulum swings into healing mode

 At the local spiritual group I attend, it was my turn to lead the group for a new experience.

I have eight "classroom trained" pendulms. Fortunately, I had brought my own as there were 9 in the group that evenng.

I gave a brief introduction to the chakras and provided record sheets; I demonstated that you need to swing the pendulum into action and, starting at the base chakra,  hold it over each of the points in turn (marked with an "X") for each one, draw the size and shape as the pendulum indicated.

That was the "Before" column. At this point and also after the process, a reading can be done.

There is then a period of healing followed by a repeat pendulum performance  up the "After" column.

 

 This was mine - no energy as usual and poor self esteem and expresson (probably due to the teaching episode)! At least temporarily increased.
