I-CHING

The I-Ching is an ancient Chinese oracle called the "Book of Changes." Each part of the book is represented by a hexagram, a series of broken and solid lines which are usually gotten by temple sages who drop sticks or throw coins. In China a person who has a question about their life situation goes to the sage, he or she divines which hexagrams are applicable and together they consult the oracle for advice. The first hexagram shows the situation at hand, the second shows how the situation is likely to pan out. While a bit mysterious at times, this system of divination can be both fun and eerily accurate.

Being psychic

We are often asked what is a psychic? Can I be one too? The over simplified answer is, YES! We are all born with a certain amount of intuition or psychic ability..like singing-everyone can sing..some are paid to be heard .others are begged to remain silent! When we are born, and as we progress this intuition is used primarily for safety. As we get older, learn the rules and the language, most people forget to use their inherent ability and stick to learned knowledge. A perfect example of this natural knowing is the unspoken communication between parents and children or partners in a relationship-siblings, especially twins have it too. And yes, most people can be taught to use their own abilities, or at least to pay attention to their inner voice.

The Claires

Clair means clear, so clairvoyance is clear sight,,clairaudience is clear hearing, and clairsentience is simply clear "knowing". All psychic work is based on using one or all of these talents accompanied by tools, (cards,regular or tarot, astrology, numerology are just a few) or standing alone.

Karma

Karma is simply cause and effect. There is no such thing as a rewarding or punishing karma..it just is. For instance, if you did or do harm OR GOOD to someone, you will be made to feel the effects..not necessarily personally, but perhaps by seeing or feeling what happens to someone you love. If a life is taken, your life will not necessarily be forfeit, rather you will lose someone you love so that you can experience the full effect of the loss.

Astrology

Astrology is one of the oldest sciences known to humankind. In ancient times,an astrologer would take the date,time and place of birth of the subject (called the native)and for 30-60 days-depending on the expected lifespan of the individual-would examine and chart the night sky,using each 24 hour period as a year in the life of this person. The planets that could be seen with the naked eye (and later a sextant) and their relationship to each other would be used as points of reference. This was, as you might imagine very labor intensive,costly and could also be dangerous for the astrologer..an astrologer who made mistakes frequently had a short lifespan. For these and other reasons, the construction of a birth chart was only considered for the wealthy and powerful. Fortunately for us, this is no longer the case! With readily available yet sophisticated computer programs and services, anyone who is interested enough can have their chart calculated and interpreted...for much less than a king's ransom and no risk at all! In order to calculate a chart, one needs only the date,time and place of birth..and for a less detailed chart, just the birthdate itself. The interpretation is what requires great skill and years of study. We have prepared for you a brief description of the signs and planets of the zodiac in order to give you a more in depth knowledge than the casual reader. Perhaps you will be guided to learn even more.

It is said that song composers of the past used dummy texts as lyrics when writing melodies in order to have a 'ready-made' text to sing with the melody. Dummy texts have been in use by typesetters since the 16th century.
