Jish, crystals, self-hypnosis
I was finally able to offer corn meal to the winds today, the six directions. Thank you to sixhunter who got me those small little cute teacups. I think the winds were quite pleased with the offering.
As usual, I invited them in, and offered them white sage smoke as well, asking for protection, and the creation of boundaries.
Today, it was more to smudge and work with a few crystals. Which was ironic – I am a skeptic when it comes to believing in the power of crystals. Yet, with the knowledge that scientifically, crystals such as clear quartz are used as storage of energy and amplification of those to power say, things like watches, my skepticism diminished slightly. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I’m absolutely sure crystals work on a spiritual or intangible level, but there is a possibility – after all, a lot of facts now were fantastical conjectures in the past, and only when physical equipment became advanced enough to measure those fantasies that they became ‘facts.’
So…what the hell? I shall pretend. No loss to me, anyway.
I worked with a clear quartz wand and a lapis lazuli (both given by a very dear friend though we don’t speak much), and a citrine piece I bought. Perhaps it was the ‘pretending’ that made them work, but the three crystals worked together to focus my thoughts and intentions into an intensity that was somewhat astounding. Even after the hypnosis session, my whole head throbbed a little, when it has almost-never done so before.
I was actually able to almost feel my power coming out from my skin, and I ‘pretended’ to see through the illusion of time and space, and followed my lines and waves of power to the farthest reaches of the universe. I got a sense of something similar to the exact meeting line of tectonic plates on earth – that they are destroyed somewhere and recreated somewhere else even as they expand.
I was better able, also, to feel that my point of power is in the present, even though part of my consciousness kind of travelled the waves and took peeks at the probable pasts and probable futures.
Kiesh’ra was quite happy that I found the lapis. I think that was the crystal he wanted. No idea why. I told him not to get any weird ideas as well. First time I’ve seen him smile so widely. Um…something is up. *not so subtle hint to him*
Perhaps I shall start working with these three crystals a lot more from now on. At least as a focus of my thoughts, and amplification of them.

Soulbonding
With my family having somehow taken leave of me about three years ago, with the barest contact, and with sporadic involvement, I have only spoken with Dick and Bruce a few times over the past year. Somehow, the connection and rapport isn’t there anymore. Perhaps, like Dick did, I had to leave the nest and find my own way. My own suit which they created for me is still unworn; the emblem has been collecting dust over the years in the display case which holds the suit (I’m sure Alfred dusts it, but still).
I’ve donned a new armor half my own creation, and half gifted to me by K and by the Hellspawn (no other name which to call him by)who jointly created it, from helm down to sword.
Strangely enough, with everything which have been going on lately, I find myself asking for help from one of the most unlikely sources and people: Zuko of the Fire Nation, from the Avatar series. And it is not Prince Zuko who came to me, the lost and young Zuko of the series. It was Fire Lord Zuko, well-matured into his years (around 20 plus years, my age now), with more wisdom and wit from having governed his nation for years, who came to me offering his wisdom.
Ironically, I am of fire and air. And he offered me a very basic instruction when he came: fire and air have to go together. I’m a martial artist and he drew upon my martial arts background; I think he recognized in me the same fire soul which he has.
He is an unlikely candidate. Yet, I am more than intrigued by him. And perhaps he will make a good friend in times to come.
Manifestations
Having kind of linked certain theories between the Seth materials and my own beliefs in the Many Worlds Theory, I’ve kind of started my own shaping of the reality I want, exploring various worlds where I exist and where I’ve achieved the thing/s I want, and incorporated those into the shape of my own mould now. We’ll see how things go in times to come.
Armor/Training
With Zuko’s help and guidance, I actually manifested and donned my armor in one of the quickest times I’ve tried. His basic teaching of how fire and air blended together in a form of movement and martial art which is neither hard like earth, nor soft like water, but a blend of both, really helped.
