Welcome to The Edge of Reality

WHERE MAJICK LIVES!

See Virgo Horoscope!

The Wheel is turning and Mother Earth is beginning to feel the effects of the storms and lightning chasing away the long hot Summer! She is looking to the sky, seeing the lightning and the clouds bringing relief. Small messages let us know the Wheel is in motion and Autumn is sending her calling card before she arrives.

Harvest is just around the corner, enjoy this wonderful season of change. Everything is becoming fulfilled. Now is the time to prepare for the Harvest and Praise Earth and Sun. Everyone needs time to let the child inside out to play and laugh. Each day is a gift and we need time to enjoy the "Present". Roll in Autumn leaves, dance barefoot in the moonlight, accept the gift of fire from the Sun, release all stress and negativity. Lay in the grass and find pictures in the clouds. Hug a tree, have a meaningful discussion with a cat or dog, have dinner by candlelight, talk to the flowers and the bubbling brook, then listen to what they say to you, feed the hummingbirds and chipmunks, Celebrate! Life is!

You know, how we feel about each Season makes a difference. Our Spirit and Vibrational levels are extremely important as we dance the Wheel of the Year through the Majick of the Seasons. We need to be aware of how important our thoughts, our acts and our feelings are, to ourselves, our friends and families and to the Universe as a whole.

Accentuate the Positive - Eliminate the Negative! How you "feel" is like a ripple that is felt around the Universe. If your are depressed, fearful or angry, the Universe feels it and reflects the feeling - If you are happy, successful and up, the Universe feels that too! How do you feel at this moment? When did you last laugh so hard you cried? When did you ride a merry-go-round last, or play tag in the dark and scream for joy? Lay in a forest and look up at the changing leaves or run down a hill in Autumn?

Share your gifts, give hope, care about someone, Be Happy! Add a Positive ripple to the Universe!


Many people spend a lifetime greiving or regreting their behavior and feeling angry and sorry for themselves. Grieving and feeling sorry are an important part of understanding and learning, but only for a short time. You need to be responsible for your actions and learn from your mistakes, but being responsible and learning should be positive and creative. Negative or sad feelings can act like a magnet to bring you stress and illness. You can best make up for mistakes by being the best you can be from now on.

Instead of looking back and saying, "I wish things had been different." say "This was a lesson and I will learn a new and positive way to react to this type of situation so that next time I will be ready to succeed and do the right thing." Then play act the situation with friends and family until you feel good about the situation. I know this sounds silly, but it really works.

Here is another suggestion that will help you get back on the road to success. Get involved in a community project, help at the library, help paint a house or clean up a neighborhood, help at an animal shelter, volunteer a little time each week doing something to help others. I hear "I don't have time!" echoing around the world. But you know - Time is a funny thing. You can stretch time or shrink time. It pulls and conforms to what you expect, need and want.

Steve and I both have our own separate business, Steve is an Attorney and I am an Animal Psychologist and Astrologer. I write all my web pages, I wrote a novel and three articles for a children's book, I write Behavior Profiles and WorkBooks on Animals, give Seminars and I am an Expert Witness on animal behavior. I volunteer at the Library, garden, Steve and I have and care for over 200 animal friends at our home and acreage. We maintain our home and land, gardens and pastures, make time for family and friends, parties, movies, ceramics, . . . I am not bragging, I am simply saying - If you want to, you can make time for that which will help you, heal you and make you happy. It may take a little work - but anything is possible.
Make friends with positive people and animals and listen to feed-back from those who want you to be successful.

It is important to stand by your beliefs without pushing them on others. Love and learn and let others follow their paths of learning too. We care and when you care, you don't get upset with someone who has different views, you walk a path and shine a light and if they care to join you that is fine, if not, it doesn't mean they are wrong or not a friend, only that they are different, and thank goodness for differences.

Sharing is so much fun. It's fun and rewarding to be different, it is so delightful to be in the midst of free-flowing ideas with family and friends who share their dreams. We live in a really majick place. Enjoy!

Our Neighborhood and World is made up of a sprinkling of so many diverse religions and beliefs. There are Catholics, Mormons, Baptists, Buddists, Born Agains, Congregationalists, some we have no idea about, and Our World of Metaphysics and Majick. We all share books, ideas, cookies, parties and help each other when there is a need. I give herbs for healing, fix thumps and bumps, help a neighborhood teen design an invitation to his up-coming party on my computer, often I can save animals when they seem to be leaving this realm, give Tarot Readings, ask the storm to wait until a niece's wedding is over, help a friend sort out a dream. Steve and I try to bring love and comfort always, when there is a problem we try to help. Steve adds his Majick of Healing, Understanding and all things Legal (Being a Lawyer, he is exceptional at that sort of thing) and you know what? Our Family, Friends and Neighbors bring love, comfort, help, friendship, ideas and Majick to us in every increasing amounts as well. Open up your heart to someone and 90% of the time you will find a wonderful friend.

The religion you practice, the language you speak, the color of your skin, these things are of the moment, your spirit is forever. Let the Universe enjoy the music of your Spirit. Love life and the adventures it brings, Majick is in the Air! It's Autumn! Celebrate!!

The Majick of Virgo

The Sun entered Virgo on August 23nd and leaves on the 23nd of September. Virgo people are Mercury powered. Virgo analyzes, critiques and suggests remedies. Virgos are happiest when busy. Virgo people adapt to most anything as long as they are needed and can schedule, make lists and help.
Virgo's have been called "picky" and "critical" and it is true that they are automatic "fault-finders", but this isn't necessarily bad. Virgos have a keen eye for details and most are very bright and with Mercury empowering them, they simply cannot keep still and let the rest of us blunder into problems. So they tell us! Then we shout "Picky, picky,picky" or "You are critical!"

Virgos are easily hurt and can easily slip into the role of "Victim" due to their need to be needed. They are extremely thin skinned, but you will never know it unless you use your intuition because once hurt, a Virgo hides their pain under a basket and usually they come out swinging. They are the authors of the saying "Don't get mad - get even!" They never feel good about getting even however and tend to blame themselves as well as everyone else for problems. Virgos want desperately to be loved and appreciated.

Virgos are rarely shy and although they are notusually loud or brash, they make sure they put their two cents in before things are settled.

If you are a virgo, you are an Earth Sign, meticulous, careful, good at mental work. You are good at written communication. You process, systemize and analyze. You are a genius at coping with details and terrific at keeping order.

Virgo people are purists - Good with a capital "G"! Unless they fall into the role of "Victim" at which point they can turn against all they feel is Good and prove how really Bad they can be. Vicious, angry and filled with hate, they become vendictive and lonely.

Quality shows the way the sign's energy flows - Virgos Quality is Mutable.
Mutable energy works in a versatile, flexable, changeable manner.

Positive qualities of mutable signs are: impartial mental attitude, alert, quick to make decisions. You are adaptable and open minded.

Negative qualities are: tendency toward being indecisive, an enabler, making excuses or on the other hand, being very critical.

Gender is often misunderstood in Astrology. Feminine means the energy is receptive, magnetic, emotional and circular. Masculine means the energy is aggressive, raditory, objective and linear. Virgo Gender is Feminine. Virgo is Magnetic, pulling everything inside. Virgos want to be liked and have friends who value them.

Virgo Element is Earth. Earth is dependable, secure, functional, hardworking. Earth people inspire a feeling of solidness, safety, caution, warmth, matter-of factness. You have heard of the saying "Salt of the Earth" and "There goes a real Earthy Person!" The picture it brings to me is one of a very sexy, loving being and a loved one, on a cold evening, blankets and a roaring fire, hot cocoa, warm fresh bread and dreamy music playing. If this picture brings memories, most likely the memories are with a Earth Element playing a strong roll in their chart!


IDEAS:Herbs of the Zodiac as the Wheel turns.

VIRGO HERBS:

The 6th House, the house of voluntary service, health, schedules, duties, work and small animals is ruled by Virgo. This sign governss the liver, solar plexus and intestines. Complaints of Virgo are dysentary, obstructions of the bowels, cramps and gastritis, nervous disorders, appendicitis and spasms. The organ mainly responsible for all this is the Liver, which is the physical seat of responsibility. Virgos carry a heavy load.

Mother Earth always offers her help.

The Herbs of Virgo must nourish the liver and educate it back to normal activity, soothe the nervous system, ally fear and heal the intestinal tract. Virgo herbs are as follows:

Skullcap: will tone the nervous system and strengthen the solar plexus (the seat of fear).

Dill: will clean the digestive tract of ulcerations.

Endive: cools the liver and allys inflamation.

Fennel: will counteract flatulency.

Licorice: sweetens the blood and reduces fevers in the intestines.

Mandrake: is a powerful liver cleanser, but it is poisonous, so use sparingly and only with the advice of an herbalists. It is one of the best agents, If Properly Used, for cancerous conditions of the blood stream.

Pillitory of the Wall: removes obstructions of the liver. Added to Marshmallow and made into an ointment, it will cleanse and heal abcesses of the skin.

These are only a few of the lovely herbs our Earth generously offers us. We can learn so much about the herbs and their majickal properties for there are many wonderful books available. Go to your favorite bookstore or library and discover the Majick of Herbs.

PSYCHIC INSTINCTS! Can we really communicate with animals? Go for a walk in nature, go where the wild things are and see if you can contact an Animal in the wild. All living things communicate. If we are aware and lucky, we may find an animal willing to communicate with us. Usually animals are willing to share their knowledge if you are of a gentle, open nature.

Mother Earth offers so many paths to follow. Each path can bring new learning and joy to us. A nature walk can develop into a sacred pathway to understanding if you are open to the gifts that are available along the way. A Nature Walk can enrich your life, bring you in contact with power animals, their special messages as well as glimpses into the magic world where you begin to understand your value and role in the Great Mystery of the Universe.

How do we get started? First, get to know yourself. What is your primary response pattern? Pretend we are going on a majik journey to the Ocean in San Diego. ***** STOP! What did you do? Did you picture the waves?
Did you hear the ocean waves crashing on the shore and hear the calls of sea gulls?
Or did you feel the ocean breese, the sand beneath your feet?
You responded to one of those methods first. Which one?
If you visualized first then your primary response is visual.
If you heard the sounds first, then you are primarily an auditory person.
If you felt the sand and the breese then you are a physical or kinetic person first.

Why does it matter? Once you learn what your main method of response is, then you can work on using the other methods so you will have a wider range of communication skills. This will help you understand others, including animals.

Try this exercise:
1. Learn to accept new and different viewpoints.
2. Learn to absorb vibrations, feelings, energy.
3. Try to imagine seeing through another's eyes, with their emotions, their abilities, their spiritual values.
4. Now try to do the same thing with an animal, a bird, a fish, an insect!

If you are lucky enough to be able to get out for a real Nature Walk, do so. Take enough necessities so that you won't need to hurry back. A few hours can work wonders. But what if you cannot get out into a nature setting right now? Thats OK! Mother Earth provides opportuntites to contact and communicate with animals everywhere. Go for a walk, Look out the window, Find your dog or cat, close your eyes and relax. Ask for a message and accept the answer. A feather floats down, a lizard runs past, you open your eyes and there, looking at you, is your cat and you know what she is telling you. You hear a call and know it is the call of a peacock. You begin to understand the language. Or perhaps you think you hear a tree, a rose or a tiny flit of something, you are not sure what, perhaps it was a spider, a hummingbird, or was it an elf or gnome? Begin keeping a message diary.
Whatever happens is just the beginning of a wonderful adventure.

Learn more of the creature or thing you have encountered. What is the lesson or understanding that you have been given. Study the source. One very easy way to go on this adventure is to buy the Medicine Cards and the book that goes with them, written by Jamie Sams and David Carson, published by Bear & Company, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. They provide the Animal Cards and stories, teachings and insights.

However you manage to begin this majickal journey, you will be delighted at all you can learn and how that learning empowers you. And please remember, you are not limited to one or two or even 100 adventures of this kind. There is always more to learn and new ways of discovering things. There isn't an animal or creation of any sort that cannot bring us the gift of learning and insight if we are willing to accept the adventure of learning awareness. Try a Nature Walk or new pathway and Email me about what you discovered.


I have received many Emails from all over the world saying how much you enjoyed these adventures. I am delighted to hear from so many wonderful, creative people. Thank You for sharing your adventures with me.

By doing exercises such as these, you develop your majickal potential and add calm, security and power to your life.
