This is a quiet night, after stepping off the edge of the world...
New Year's Day - I slept through a tarot appointment with one of the people I honor as a shaman. (I was reading for her.) Oh Good Heavens! We spoke together, and so we accidentally (and laughingly) directed my day. (Beloved, silly me!)
Later, after getting myself together again, while reading for another Companion, I brought out my calcite ball. (Not a crystal ball, and I love all the quartz family and am a kick-ass scryer, so please bear with me.) This ball is soft and kind and gently polished, it is not a phony ball. As a matter of fact, when I purchased it (at a Gem and Mineral Show), the man said, "This is not what you think it is." (Yeh- he knew where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do!) Yet that lovely ball is so much more than he thought it was, and continues to be much more than I figured.
Some folks think that folks like us just purchase things to build up our egos. Sometimes we do. (I certainly have - Yup, I'm smiling now...) This purchase was not for me, though. The tiny orb just wanted to work alongside me.
This tiny calcite ball was purchased as and has now become my favorite scrying friend - for Others to read - this darling is soft and outspoken. The messages are more brief and more gentle than readings with my quartz balls, but better for folks to read for themselves at the sunset of a new year.
I'm not being a "poser" about dawn vs. sunset (regarding the New Year), yet for me the light of sunset light has always meant much more than dawn or noon.
Thank you soft companions, I love you more than words can say!
