Everything Under the Moon

Sometimes your main totem animal can surprise you.
I always thought mine was a bat and it turned out to be an owl.
Here is some information of jellyfish totems:

It sounds to me like your struggling with yourself and your afraid of not being good enough to get into heaven. Your ashamed of your feelings and their communicating to you, only it gets 'warped' in a sense, because of how intense your feelings against it are. So your having a tug of war inside your...

So, I was thinking the other day about matron and patron Gods/Goddesses. And I found myself wondering, why do they pick certain people? I was called by Kali-ma. And it has always made total sense to me, but i've always wondered why. So, what are your theories on why we are chosen by certain beings a...

I believe it is, yes. I don't generally seek out the dead, they find me. Sometimes they'll wake me from sleep, because they are confused and need guidance. It's rather annoying to wake up to the sounds of a sobbing 50-ish year old woman right by your bed, who refuses to stop sobbing until you notice...

It was originally a form of gypsy magick and it's what the modern tarot deck is based off of. My ex-best friend was from Russia and her grandmother gave us a paper with each card and it's meaning and certain spreads. I could do it, but i'm a tarot person myself. She could do it well, which was surpr...

My boyfriend knows i'm pagan. He's a liberal Catholic/Christian(he sorta flows between). We get along fine when it comes to religion. Because we both believe religion is a personal decision, and that what might be right for you, may not be for anyone else. And we also believe that because of this, n...

Do you feel a kinship or fascination with them?

I recently discovered my spirit guide after I had an empathic "break down" this last summer. She changes form between being a maiden and a crone, she sits in this rocking chair by a window. Outside the window is a forest and it's always dark with a full moon. I call her the shapeshifting m...

I understand a lot of you. I feel that way at times, too. Over this last summer, I kept having horrible problems with my empathy. And I nearly had a breakdown. Normally I can decipher between another's emotions and my own. But I was getting them from everyone, everywhere. My mind got completely jumb...

I can shield others as well. But shielding someone who is farther away is harder for me. It takes more energy, so I generally just give them an object with a protection spell and tell them to keep it with them. I can shield things like entire buildings and people if they aren't too far away. I can a...

I believe(as a few have already said) that it's a mixture of nature vs. nuture. In my family my grandmother(on my mother's side) is very very empathic, if she goes into places that horrible things have occurred in the past(without any knowledge of it), she'll feel overwhelmed, faint, cry etc. My mot...
