Rosemarinus Officinalis

Image
In the past few months, spirit has been drawing me closer to the healer that has always been in me. My guides have sparked a new found interest in me to learn more about the emotional and physical healing benefits of herbs. My new favourite is rosemarinus officinalis, ordinarily known as rosemary. This amazing plant can help with everything from your hair and skin, to promoting love, to memory enhancement, to easing headaches, to keeping you safe from evil, to making a household cleaner. Now, I am far from a natural gardener, in fact I have been known to kill many plants in my time. Spirit saw fit to find me a partner in this world who in an amazing gardener. He kindly grows the plants I ask for and then I am able to use the plants for the needs I am presented with from spirit. One of the oldest uses of rosemary is to purify negative energy by using it in incense, or to hang in a doorway to ward off evil from entering your home. I think one of the best uses is to prevent nightmares. To...

Creativity and Spirit

Image
In addition to my life as a medium, I am also a fibre artist. Today, I spent time in the studio working on combining my two paths of life. I was creating meditation pillows with organic cotton, dried lavender blossoms and golden flax seed. I then take the cover of these beautiful little pillows and hand embroider them with intention. I use Rune and Ogham symbols to fill the pillow with love, strength, joy, or destiny just to name a few ideas from spirit. However spirit directs me, I listen and fill the pillow with that  intention. These pillows have the embroidered intention, along with the sent of lavender that brings serenity, grace and calmness that can aid in helping with headache, anxiety, or sleep. The pillows can be used warmed or iced; or simply at room temperature during meditation. My pillows are for sale on the Lavender Laine Fibre Arts Studio website, www.https://lavenderlaine.ca There are several for sale now, but more will be going up over the next few days. Please ch...

The Ancestors

Image
So, for this edition of my blog, I have been cheered on by my guides to talk about my ancestors a bit and share some new and interesting information I have recently learned. While visiting with my parents some weeks ago, I was finally allowed to look through some information I had never seen before about my fathers side of the family. I know all about my mother’s side of the family back to the early 1400’s, thanks to my Grandfather, who spent about 40 years painstakingly researching each birth or marriage certificate from here in Canada and overseas. This was in the days long before the internet and companies like Ancestry existed. Smith is a difficult name to research, especially in Scotland  which is where they were from. I had always known that Matthew was a family first name. My Grandpa’s uncle who came to Canada with the family was named Matthew. I did not know that he was named after his father, my Great, Great Grandfather, also Matthew. The most amazing thing about the infor...

Spiritual Gifts - What’s in a Name?

Image
Today I have been thinking about all the seers I know and how different each of their gifts are, even when they are described as being similar. Some have one or two abilities or connections, while others are blessed with more. When I first started out as a spiritual medium, I struggled with what to call myself… what description of my abilities was the best fit? I do see and connect with ghosts and spirits; but I also sometimes see future events or help people with unwanted spirit in their homes or places of business. A medium is a wide ranging term that describes a person who speaks with the dead. My guides or spirits around me often help me see things that may happen in the near future. So, in the end, a spiritual medium is my best fit. I connect with loved ones on the other side to bring messages of love, hope and healing to those left here in this world. Other titles I could have chosen include: Clairvoyant - someone who sees future events Psychic - similar to a medium, it can inclu...

The Infinity Symbol

Image
The infinity symbol… Tonight, in meditation, spirit has had me drawing the infinity symbol over and over and over again. I often do automatic writing during meditation, but tonight I feel the spirit guiding it is that of a specific person that I have never met in this world, but was and is still loved by many I know.  Family friends of my husband lost their grandmother recently and her Celebration of Life was held today. Sometimes I would think that the feeling of her here was just me wishing I had known her; but, I have heard her talking in the background of my mind all day. Her accent was so prominent, that I knew it must be her. Tonight, I feel her so strongly. I know that she has been with me all day trying to send a message to her family… the infinity symbol.  Throughout the  ancient civilizations on earth, there have been many symbols used to represent infinity. In Asia, the yin and yang symbol, the Celts used the Celtic knot, the Greeks debated the idea of  al...

Each stave is make from the appropriate wood. Now the challenge comes to learn to use them for divination.

“The Witch City” - Salem Massachusetts

Image
Hi Everyone! I’ve been away for a few posts; but I’m back and ready to blog! So here we go… Cheers to my amazing daughter who, a few weeks ago, went to visit Salem Massachusetts. She brought me back this fabulous mug. Salem has long been a place I have wanted to visit, but have yet to be able to cross it off my bucket list. Salem is known as the witch city, due to the witch trials that were held there in the late 1600’s. Salem was first settled in 1626. It is the second oldest settlement in Massachusetts. It is perhaps a city best known for the witch trials held there between 1692 and 1693. Many Christians at this time held the strong belief that the Devil was a part of witchcraft. They believed that the Devil gave witches the power to harm others. Salem was not the only place where fear led to witch trials occurring. From the 1300’s to the 1600’s there were many witch trials held throughout Europe. At the time of the trials in Salem, more than 200 people were accused of practicing wit...
