Pendulums, Crystal Balls and Tarot Readings.

By Malc Baxter

Casting stones and crystals are used in a similar way. Contrary to the fortune tellers in old movies, crystal balls do not open as a window to show scenes of what is happening, or what is to come.

The crystal ball is used as a focal point for divination just like cards in tarot readings. Amethyst balls are of a shade that serves to unlock the mind in order to receive universal intellect. Wicca's call the practice of gazing into crystal balls, scrying.

To practice scrying relax completely, make your mind blank, and focus your attention on the crystal ball. By relaxing and staying focused on the question, you will be able to see an image or hear an answer. Many psychic readers say that they see visions in their crystal balls. A form of divinations which can be accomplished by using large stones.

Pendulums:

Pendulums are used mostly for yes or no questions. Pendulums are any weight suspended by a chain or a string. The psychic reader will hold the pendulum over loosely over the center of a paper or cloth that has been divided into areas for yes and no.

They themselves don't move the pendulum, but they make an inquiry and the pendulum starts to sway to and fro, signalling a response. Using in pendulums in tarot readings is also an option that psychics use in their readings.

A rendition of this divination has been used on pregnant women for many years. A needle is threaded and the psychic person will hold the thread over the abdomen of the pregnant woman and ask what the baby will be. The needle, swinging backward and forward, or side to side is an indication that the baby is male. If the needle swings in a circle of it's own volition, the baby will be a girl.

Psychic readings and Tarot readings can be done with several different methods each of which is unique and different.

The Fascination Of The Zodiac Pendant!

By Dane Masters

People are fascinated by zodiac signs. since ancient times, this symbolic wisdom has been handed down in the form of art or jewelry, as signs on landmarks and walls. The sign bearer comes to know about his/her personality traits, what are good signs and what are bad, what the future holds, etc. Any item can be used by the bearer of the sign to be kept nearby--crafted on a pillow with needlepoint or a poster sketch or etched into a ring or a car air freshener with a painted zodiac sign on it. It is not necessary that a necklace with a pendant carrying the zodiac pendant be the only way to carry the sign on person.

When I was younger and still not fully appreciative of my mother's thoughtfulness, I received from her a cigarette lighter (after she accepted that I smoked). On the lighter was the sexual position for Leos. I had looked closely at the lovely gift, and found that the image in silhouette was one which featured a woman sitting astride a man, both man and woman with their legs out in the air in a gleeful pose. I am sure that if a zodiac pendant were in the same shop, my mother would have snatched that up, but seeing at a glance the "Leo" engraved on the hatch, she investigated no further and brought the item home, not realizing she was condoning, maybe, more than her teenaged daughter's smoking habits.

But, since this piece of writing is full of digressions enough, I digress. Instead, I feel compelled to comment on the beautiful zodiac jewelry I found online, and on the zodiac pendants that are available and accessible and affordable at sites such as ebay, et. al.. On a 16 or 18 inch silver chain and costing a little over 100 bucks, a one-inch Leo zodiac pendant appeals to me greatly. It is silver, my preferred metal, and it is somewhat understated yet creatively rendered-it is a lion's head with a flowing mane that is encrusted with a few cubic zirconia.

Another kind of pendant still features the sign of the zodiac but is the sign itself, the symbol, rather than the animal. This necklace is even more subtle, as it is-in my case, as a Leo-just an upside-down "u" with a curlicue at each leg of the symbol. Still other pieces of jewelry featuring the astrological signs are equally lovely.

On ebay, which will be different once I stop writing and you start searching, of course, there are hundreds of choices, including those in 3-d with inlaid turquoise, those that are like tiny plaques, and those that emphasize the name of the sign or leave the sign name out and focus on the material-the silver, gold, or copper or leather. The prices range from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars, and the options-if you catch them in time before bidding ends-include different sizes, shapes, inscriptions, and information. If you look closely, you might even find one of the 1970s classics-with the designated sexual position. Then again, you may opt to steer clear of the classics and stay safely within the realm of the elements, the icons, and the astrological traits more suited to you and yours.

Love Psychic Readings Using Crystals.

By Malc Moore

There are many forms of divination when it comes to psychic readings. Tarot and Runes are quite popular. There are also other forms of divination that is rarely used, but will work as well, such as casting stones. Usually the types of stones used in these forms of psychic reading are crystals and gemstones, although there is also Runes.

Not many people use casting stones. With this method of divination the individual will need the use of crystals and various gemstones. There are different ways to use casting stones and individual psychic readers will need to find what suits them best.

A psychic will often throw crystals and gemstones onto a flat surface to help with readings, this is how casting stones are used in a psychic reading. These stones can be found in a kit, with a drawstring bag to store them and. Generally those who utilize the stones prefer to pick each one by hand in order to feel the vibration from each stone. The feel of a stone helps the individual determine if they want it in their kit.

It is best to use smaller stones, but not tiny, as they would be easy to lose. They should also have one flat side. You will want to choose the stones with their magical associations in mind.

Tiger Eye is a yellow/orange stone that is associated with light, clarity, warmth, heat, daylight, the Sun, etc. This stone could also be associated with the night, vision, and cats. This all depends on the question that has been asked, or what the subconscious of the reader leads them to.

Amethyst, as with all purple stones, is usually associated with psychic vision, and spirituality. If you are a beginner you will need to purchase one of the numbers of books available on the subject.

The crystal stones can be cast in different ways. A method employed by some psychic readers involves making a cloth on which to throw the stones, with the cloth often decorated with a circle which is itself equally split into four sections.

In psychic readings each of the four parts of the circle is represented by a direction:

Air Element - East.
The color yellow and the mind are both related to air.

Fire Element - South.
Fire is about purification, energy and action and the color red.

The West Represents Water.
Water is linked with psychic abilities as well as emotion, along with blue and purple stones.

But there are a lot of divination methods which may be utilized in psychic readings, making the psychic's job that of finding the right ones that suit them.

How To Determine Someone's Astrological Element

By Max Blackstone

Is there any way to guess someone's astrological element? It's astonishing when it happens but it's not so easy and requires a lot of practice and a deep understanding of astrology. Here's an easier solution!

So, what's the first step? Here's a very easy way that allows you to guess anyone's astrological element (with a little bit of practice of course).

And the good news is: there are in fact ONLY 4 astrological elements: Fire, Air, Water, and Earth. Every zodiac sign belongs to one of these four elements. And here is how they relate:

The Fire Signs are Passionate Doers (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Fire signs tend to be outgoing, inspirational and these people often are an inspiration to others. Fire element may become selfish, in-sensitive risk-takers. A lack of fire is indicated by a lack of initiative, inspiration and difficulty in becoming inspired.

Earth Signs are Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn: Persistent Achievers

Earth signs tend to be practical, cautious and have a materialistic approach to life with the need to build solid, 'real' material success. They appreciate long range planning and have the determination to succeed. A lack of earth is indicated by a lack of 'real' world success.

Air Signs are Intellectual Speakers and include Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.

Many times Air signs tend to be natural communicative, extroverted intellectual and enjoy being exposed to different ideas and knowledge. A lack of air is indicated by a lack of the capability to think through and express an idea.

Water Signs are Intuitive Feelers and include Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

Water signs are quite emotional - even if they don't show it - caring, and artistic, but can also tend to exaggerate feelings out of proportion and live in a fantasy world. A lack of water is indicated as a lack of the ability to understand the feeling side of life and to show compassion to those around them.

IMPORTANT: Everyone has a little bit of all of these element within themselves. So there's not anyone who is just a earth or fire sign. But that doesn't matter. Because what you are looking for is: which is the DOMINANT element. And that's all that matters.

HOW TO GUESS:

To determine someone's astrological element, you'll have to rate the person's personality traits between one and ten points in the following four questions. By answering each question: Give 10 points when the trait is dominant, give only 1 point when there's a lack of of the trait. Give 5 points when you don't know.

Does the person have the traits of a "Passionate Doer"? Please rate between 1 and 10 on how inspirational, passionate and energetic this person is about things that interest that person.

How much of a "Intellectual Talker" is the person? Please rate between 1 and 10 how much communicative and extroverted this person is about new ideas and concepts.

How much of a "Intuitive Feeler" is the person? Please rate between 1 and 10 how emotional, compassionate and introverted this person is about problems and issues.

Does the person have the traits of a "Persistent Worker"? Please rate between 1 and 10 how practical, consistent and materialistic this person is and things that the person wants to achieve.

While answering these questions, try to think of situations where this person had to display these traits in the past. If you've just met the person, go ahead and ask them to tell you a story in which they tell you about their passion, ideas, feelings and achievements.

How to tell: The person's astrological element is the HIGHEST RATING one.

However, if you're unsure about the results or just not yet clear - just go ahead, ask more questions and re-rate the person in all four areas. You'll be flabbergasted how many times this method will be successful. Have a fun time!

How to Make Love Happen with Astrology

By Max Blackstone

If you're fascinated by love astrology and love horoscopes or you feel curious about how the stars influence your love life, there's a well-kept secret: There's more that you can learn from a love horoscope than just your astrological compatibility with other signs.

Here's the story: You romantic relationship potential is bigger than you think. Using love horoscope you can understand it, but an astrologer also can create a more potent and powerful document: a so-called "Astrology Love Guide"! How is it different from a horoscope?

They used their astrological knowledge and techniques in ways that most conventional astrologers don't know:

Already more than 5000 years ago, astrologers discovered astrological traits which are the psychological building blocks for how a person thinks, feels, perceives and responds to the world. They researched and understood that a Gemini loves to communicate, a Scorpio is passionate; an Aries loves a challenge, etc and so on. (This is over-simplifying it a bit.

The KEY: It means that you know what your potential lover finds sexy and craves for! And that means that you can intensify and show off your own natural behaviors and traits. And that means you know how to be the "the one and only match"!

So in short it means that if you use the knowledge of an Astrology Love Guide, your potential lover will feel that you're irresistible. It means that create your love compatibility on purpose. Applying the knowledge of an astrology love guide means you bypass all the romantic guesswork. It's almost like you're casting a love spell on that individual ...

Cleopatra, the influential ruler of ancient Egypt, used Astrology Love Guides successfully as a "Secret Weapons". Both of the world's most powerful men, Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony felt magically in love with Cleopatra who relied on love astrology.

You'll discover in an Astrology Love Guide not only what your romantic potential is but what your lover desires and what you can say and do to appeal to these traits, so you can actually increase your natural compatibility with anyone. That how you can win friends and lovers using astrology as your powerful secret weapon.

Numerology House Numbers

By Laraine Turner

Numerology and house numbers can help you find the vibrations your very own home is giving out. Numerology works on vibrations and this is why it works with numbers.

Before language, our only form of communication was symbols and numbers.

Numbers then had meanings. Each one's unique vibration or frequency meant something different. As time went by and the scientists became the modern day Gods, the meanings of numbers were forgotten and they became used for mathematics and not much else, a means to an end and nothing more.

The philosophy and psychology of modern day numerology allows us these ancient insights and we can relate meaning once again to all that is numerical in our lives.

I used to just consider the number of a house for an address analysis but often found the resulting reading incorrect. It wasn't until I used the whole first line of an address (and I include house names as well) that things started to make more sense.

When you think of it that does make better sense, as when asked for your address, you don't just give your number do you?

So instead of thinking about numerology house numbers we should really be considering numerology addresses, with name, number and street address as well.

If you know how numerology works then you'll know that all the letters of the alphabet are equivalent to a number.

For example; A=1, B=2 etc, all the way up to Z which equals 26.

When this numerology code is related to the first complete line of your address (including the addition of the actual number of your house), then you will come up with the number that resonates with your home.

Always remember to reduce the final number to a single digit though. I.E. 34 = 3 +4=7.

Unless, of course, the number is either 11 or 22 as these are master numbers in numerology and should never be reduced any further.

As for numerology house numbers, on their own, I think that they do still have some relevance but no where near as much as the whole first line of your address.

So what does your personal house number numerology mean?

The Amazing History Of The Tarot

By Jack Levine

Tarot cards were invented in the fifteenth century in northern Italy. It was created for a new type of card game that is very similar to bridge. The deck was similar to the playing cards of the time with four suits and number cards from one to ten. There were also court cards that included a king, knight and page. The queen was not included in playing cards at that time. With the tarot, came the addition of the queen. There were also twenty-two other cards added to the deck that had pictures that had special meaning and symbols.

That first deck of cards contained all of the cards that we are familiar with in a standard deck of cards but it also had the addition of the twenty-two trump cards that we would recognize as the cards of the tarot. Each of these cards had a special place in the game and would be able to trump any other card when it was played.

The game was very popular during this time and there were many decks created for playing. However, because each of the cards had to be hand painted it was not a game that everyone had the privilege of playing. Only the very rich could afford the deck of cards to play the game of Triumphs.

It wasn't for centuries that the symbolic pictures on the card began to be seen as magical and mystical. This is where the current reputation for tarot cards began.

The cards changed in their look as they moved from country to country. Every region added their own touch to the designs on the tarot deck. In the time when the cards were created, playing cards, as well as the tarot deck, were hand painted. If the cards exist today, they are artistic masterpieces and very valuable relics from a time gone by.

When you purchase tarot cards today, you will find that there are a number of different styles of cards to choose from. The number of the cards and the particular tarot or trump cards is the same in every deck, but what are different are the symbols and pictures that are used to represent the meanings. Tarot cards are very beautiful and make an excellent item to collect.

The tarot has also evolved to include many different spreads of the cards. Each spread of the cards is more suited toward a specific type of reading. For example, if you are interested in knowing the state of your relationship, there is a spread that will work best for this type of question.

However these lovely cards were created, we are treated to the art and culture of the past whenever a tarot deck is used. They are a beautiful symbol of a time gone by. The artistry that is used in a deck of tarot cards cannot be compared with any other game that has ever been invented. Perhaps the detail and the attention to the beauty of the cards is what have led to the assertion that the cards have more meaning than can be found in a game.
