7 Ways To Deal with Psychic Vampires and Energy Suckers

As summer rolls on here in Southern California I continue doing art shows. As always I learn many lessons about life and people along the way.

The other weekend a woman came into my booth and started grilling me in a very intense and judgemental way about my soul readings.

I could feel my energy dropping and I was at a loss - it happened so quickly! And then she said “I believe you are a young soul” and I snapped to attention. This was a direct invasion of my space that I could immediately identify. No one has the right to force their opinions on you without asking permission first.

So I told her, “I did not ask for your opinion” and she suddenly became very nice to me.

I asked around about this woman and found out that she was very wealthy and had a habit of talking artists way down on their prices and then not seeming to appreciate the discount, but instead took it for granted.

What lessons did I learn in this encounter that might be useful for you?

Lesson 1

Feel the energy in the room and in your body. Take note.

Lesson 2

Put up extra protection by saying a prayer or affirmation.

Lesson 3

Do not overly engage with the person as this may encourage them. Pull back your energy.

Lesson 4

Stand your ground when necessary and speak up for yourself if you feel your boundaries are being dis-respected. Remain calm and use your intelligence.

Lesson 5

After the person leaves sage your space or say a prayer/affirmation and then speak with a trusted friend, spiritual advisor or your guides about what happened. Ground and center by being in nature, touching the earth, hugging a tree.

Lesson 6

Commend yourself on a lesson learned and pull an oracle or tarot card for further insight.

Lesson 7

Reassure yourself that you were NOT imagining things. Your space and your body are yours and you deserve to be treated with respect and decency at all times.

Cancer New Moon Soul Reading
Cancer New Moon: June 28 at 7:52 PM Pacific Time

Cancerian Goddess: Circe

Circe lured sailor
With colors and potions divine,
Those who were rude
She turned into swine.

Circe or ‘witch’ was a fate spinner and a weaver of the destinies of men.  She was called ‘The Goddess who commanded all the lights of heaven’ by Pliny an ancient philosopher. Circe lived as a witch and a weaver in a little stone cottage by the sea where she concocted magical herbal potions to ensnare sailors shipwrecked near her shores, turning the nastiest ones into swine.

She could be calm and reflective when her ally, Master Frog, was by her side. With his sweet kiss she could travel into dreamland and believe, once again that she would find her own Elfin Partner and live happily ever after.

Art From the Heart - Connecting More Deeply

As an adoptee I know what it’s like to lose everything. When I was born I was taken from my birth mother immediately without her seeing me or holding me. I have suffered a great trauma and I know what it’s like to feel alienated and disconnected from everything.

In this time of isolation and quarantine I am here to be of service the best way I know how. I’m keeping it together because I can (I’ve done it before). I’m always learning more with the help of my shamanic training, my mom, classes, my mentor, the gods and my own hard work and play.

What I can do is share my art work that speaks to the moment and needs to be seen.

This brings me joy, reflection and connection and I hope it touches you as well so we can remain connected through all of this, which will pass, as does everything.

Sagittarius Full Moon Soul Reading

Dear Moon Muser,

The heat is on and so are the art fairs and connecting more face-to-face with many of you! Last weekend in Irvine, California a lovely family visited my booth and commented about how happy it made them feel and how it was like stepping into a magical fairy tale - that made my heart sing!

I'm also tuning in daily to the old gods and goddesses on my walks through the wilderness of where I live in the desert valley outside Temecula, California wine country. Bobcats, the rare Mountain Lion and plenty of Coyotes accompany me along with hundreds of Quail and their babies, Red Tailed Hawks and as night falls, the Great Horned Owl, the ghostly Barn Owl and occasionally a whole family of tiny Burrowing Owls silhouetted against the desert sunset.

Astrologically we’re in for a very Plutonian (intense) Neptunian (watery) vibe right now as the US undergoes a Pluto Return and a recent Neptune/Jupiter in Pisces conjunction echoes all year long. Staying grounded is more important than ever as we focus on tapping into our intuition to help us stay connected with Spirit and the Divines in a world that does not recognize or honour this power.

Sagittarius Full Moon Soul Reading

I'll let the Sag Full Moon speak through me.

What is your truth?
What matters to you?

Blessed Be,

Faerie Magick Awaits 💚 Oracle Deck Pre-Orders End in Less Than 5 Days 💚 BELIEVE!

Dear Ones,

When I encountered the faeries here in Southern California on the land where I live the ancient ones shared their magick with me. As I entered that Other World with eyes glittering, I learned that the land can heal and that we can heal the land even if it’s only for the insects who remain after we all become stardust in the process. I remembered... how to dance with the faeries. Can you feel them too?

I honour the fee folk with this fifth and final (?) oracle deck, the Fairy Herbal and it’s magickal paintings. Both are on special until May 3 at midnite.

Why now? Because Venus, Jupiter, the Moon and Neptune are aligned in the sign of Pisces (a water sign, yes I know and my next deck may just be a Mermaid Tarot). As these planets align again as they did before during the Jupiter, Neptune conjunction of 1856 the Spiritualist movement had just been founded (in 1848) along with the discovery of Neptune and we ask again, “What will the framework of our modern mythology be?” This Jupiter/Neptune conjunction accompanies us on a search for meaning and truth as we search for solace in a traumatic time.

As a former elf (in a past life) and with a current BF elf, I know that faery-land does exist. Believe, O human child…

Yeats
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
