People generally fall into one of three categories, those that prefer auditory, visual or kinaesthetic communication.
Auditory people respond to what they hear, they may run conversations in their head when making decisions.
Visual people think in a series of pictures, they may say things like – “I see what you mean” or “I get the picture”
Kinaesthetic people may need to touch something to aid their understanding. (more…)
In a recent article Victoria & David Beckham explained how they find Los Angeles to be quite a spiritual and very positive place to live. They also went onto say that they had become devotees of healing crystals, with both of them keeping crystals in their separate bathrooms in their Californian home. Whilst David did not say what his crystal preferences were; Victoria did “We both like crystals, as in crystal energy. I have lots of pink quartz and black tourmaline in my bathroom”. They hope that the crystals will improve their health and boost their energy levels.

Wicca is a duo-theistic religion worshipping two deities – a God (typically homed) and a Goddess. The Goddess has three forms; the Maiden (enchantment, inception, expansion, the promise of new beginnings, birth and youth), the Mother (ripeness, fertility, sexuality, fulfilment, stability, power and life) and the Crone (wisdom, repose, death and endings).

Secrets about the future were foretold in the movements of the heavens, but only those skilled in studying, analysing and interpreting them could hope to make sense of the messages they delivered. The best readers would find themselves in the employ of the rich and powerful.
