Oracle Readings Received: One Card Draw (Jul 20 2015)

First is the (void). Non-existence may not seem like a good thing, but if there's something you want out of your life, now is a good time to jettison things. Don't be afraid of a blank space, sometimes it's necessary.

Elemental Air is about that deep breath of fresh air, the rush of takeoff, clear thought. Once you have that breathing room, breathe. Take stock. Enjoy the space before you decide how to fill it.

Oracle Readings Received: One Card Draw (July 15 2015)

Your card :: 44 - Basswood

Correspondences: feminine energy, west, Saturn, element of earth

Basswood is used in the Iroquois tobacco ceremony through the False Face mask. Masks allow us to take on another persona, to see the world through eyes other than our own. This can greatly influence our thinking, as it takes us out of our own minds and prejudices. The problem lies in using the mask as a crutch to escape our own realities. Don the mask to get a new point of view, but don't allow yourself to be lost to it.

Pimp It! card :: 54 - Amethyst

Correspondences: masculine energy, sixth chakra, purple, element of earth

Amethyst dovetails very nicely with Basswood because of its abilities as a stone of healing. When we learn things by donning the mask, we can use this new information to heal our wounds, known or unknown. Amethyst is also used to help stave off addictions, which makes it a perfect stone to have when utilizing the mask's abilities. Allow yourself to ground and purify yourself with Amethyst by carrying a piece of it with you always.
