Dreaming of storms can offer a treasure trove of symbolic meaning.  
I had torrential downpours in my dreams this week.  And, whilst logging onto Twitter this morning, I saw  @coachoncall ,  Cheryl Richardson (The Coach on Call) had a thunderous dream encounter too. 
This synchronicity prompted me to write a few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of us know what an altar is. 
My friend @DonnaFaber8 of When Isis Rises and I often chat on metaphysical matters.  During one such conversation my mind wandered into the topic of symbolic altars.
Paraphrasing Webster: &#8220;An altar is an elevated place or structure at which sacred rites are observed.&#8221;
Regretfully, the term altar often conjurs some wild imagery.  [...]]]></description>

You know what I&#8217;m talking about.  A phase of life in which a load of miserable (sometimes horrific) circumstances have plopped right into our laps. 
Taking a look at these utterly dismal circumstances, we sometimes think &#8220;Why me? Why are these terrible things happening [...]]]></description>

Like the Song of life is being rendered from me.

A higher life drawn, pulled and ripped from me.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got a trick back.
It&#8217;s a trick back because sometimes my body moves a certain way, and my back decides to move a different way.  Tricky indeed, but it&#8217;s not magical, and it&#8217;s certainly not entertaining.
So what the hell is a trick back good for?
Herding Awareness.
Pain lassos our awareness and seizes our attention fully. 
What&#8217;s so great [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, a brightly lit, inquisitive mind focused on a statement I made on my Tarot site .
I wrote:
In our own ways, in our own time, we will all find the answers we seek only to realize there was never a need to search for them at all.
And, in response, Ed asked me: &#8220;Isn&#8217;t it through searching [...]]]></description>

I get a lot of requests to interpret dream meaning and symbolism. Of course, I always have impressions to share, but I continue to stand firmly in the knowledge that dreams are personal oracles.
What do I mean by that? I mean your dream is a message for you and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tags: Animal Totems &#124; Native American &#124; Horse Symbolism
For me, the symbolic meaning of horses is compelling because it points out the value of partnering with our animal kin for guidance, wisdom and growth.
That admiration was confirmed last week after spending hours with my dad going over his lineage.  Simply put, we&#8217;re horse people.
