Astrology Report and Horoscope for July 2018

July 03, 2018

It is a painful time in the world these days as norms of democracy and social behavior are on the chopping block. While it is necessary to hold fast, even increase our connection to, spiritual values and practices, it is also equally necessary for everyone to get involved in understanding our world in pain. The answer is to include civil involvement right along with the spiritual knowledge that we must cling to for our sense of safety.

Crystal Blog: Smokey Quartz

June 26, 2018

Smoky quartz is my go-to crystal when I need soothing from stress.  It helps me calm down and ground myself. Smoky quartz is a variety of quartz that ranges from a pale tan color to deep chocolate brown. The color of smoky quartz is caused by natural irradiation and traces of aluminum built into its crystal lattice. It is the crystal for soothing frayed nerves and de-stressing. Smoky quartz contains the element Lithium. Lithium salts are used to treat depression and bipolar disorder...

The Dream Detective Blog: DIRTY THOUGHTS LEAD TO DIRTY DREAMS

June 19, 2018

Now I know what you are thinking; and while it is true that anything that’s on our mind before going to sleep can influence the content of our dreams (as can our biology), I’m actually talking about a different type of dirty thought... A woman came to me with a dream that she was living in a filthy house. It wasn’t even her house, she was renting a room in someone else’s home, and the room was very dirty....

Astrological Perspectives and Horoscope for May 2018

May 01, 2018

"May will be active and interesting, perhaps even a little chaotic. We are all faced with the need to resolve conflicts in our lives and in the world at large. Some may find that via some religious association and others via changes in their primary relationship. Spiritual growth demands we pay attention to our impact on the world both spiritually and politically. Stay conscious." -- Ray Couture

Tarot Card Blog for April 2018

Tarot Card Blog for April 2018

April 10, 2018

April is for rest and recovery! The fours in the Tarot speak of rest, recuperation and regeneration. This does not always look like busy work. With the Emperor we are asked to be more thoughtful when approaching problems. Aggressive antagonistic behavior is not necessary. You get to choose. With all of the Minor Arcana we see a need to open up emotionally and physically, not hold on too tight and refuse what may be beneficial. Time to create a happy home life! Spring is finally REALLY here. We can leave the winter behind.

"April will be a busy and active month. Lots of opportunities for new starts on the personal level. Time to clean out old ideas and old wounds too. Socially and spiritually the hard part is convincing yourself that what you need to do you really should do. The political drama will take front stage and cause many interesting reactions." -- Ray Couture

Rainee's Crystal Blog: Celestite

This activation and clearing allows us to see more, opening our tunnel vision to be panoramic in view. Celestite brings in rays of heavenly light. It calls in our angels and spirit guides. It assists us in communicating with the higher realms and in astral travel guided by angelic presence...

New Beginnings at East West

New Beginnings at East West

March 16, 2018 7 Comments

  I’ve been trying now for about ten minutes to use the image of blossoming primrose and heather as a metaphor for the return of our weekly blog, but the whole thing is starting to feel very overwrought. Suffice it to say, I am very happy to be writing to you all again. The Holiday season here at the store was the first reason for the “cease transmission.” On a personal note, the second reason came on the heels of the first...
