Last night Mercury and Saturn brought together an evening of incredible intuitive energy mixed with inner elders and fairytale meditations.  Plus the night carried very special energy as an important meeting discussing stem cell research was taking place the same time our class was convening.  It's been a really magical time as of late.  The tarot deck is coming along splendidly and the classes I am teaching with Sherene are going remarkably well.  Everything is in motion, although communication is a bit off.  I'll just say that the upcoming retrograde is poking it's way in a little early. 

Mercury turns retrograde December 26th, 2009 at 21 Capricorn - 10:32 am EST

For a little advice on how to cope with those pesky retrogrades take a look at our Constellation blog on coping with retrogrades.

Many wonderful things have been showing up in the mail as well as in person. Belly dance Goddess Blanca recently brought a gorgeous box of jewels to the class.  Blanca has a wonderful sense of style and any gift from her is truly a blessing.  The beautiful necklaces pictured below are from her as well as the wonderful bracelet.  Another surprise was the gorgeous glass hummingbird that made it's way to me from Galina Krasskova.  Hummingbirds have always been close to my heart as they represent a pure love.  Other wonderments to arrive were Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim which I will recommend to everyone.  It is an incredibly entertaining read and almost impossible to put down and Dame Darcy's Death by Doll cd.

I'm back to painting tarot tonight.  I'l be posting cards I need reference and models for so keep your eyes open for the post.
