Unconventional4's Chakra Oils

Image
Unconventional4 Crown chakra oil      I love using essential oils. I use them constantly in my oil burner, and topically on the skin, especially when I need to calm the mood of myself or the house. I like to use essential oils to calm and relax the kids for homeschool hours, right before bedtime, and to get my self in a relaxed mood for meditation.      Frankincense helps with focus and minimizes distractions as well as easing impatience. This is my favorite to use for meditation. Cedarwood creates a comforting and relaxing environment, while lavender is calming, soothing, and relaxing. Lavender also helps with sleep, tension, restlessness and irritability which is why I love use this on my kids after bath time.      In our Crown Chakra oil blend, we use our special blend of lavender, cedarwood, frankincense and coconut oil. I also added rainbow moonstone chips to this recipe because rainbow moonstone is associated wit...

April🌱 is finally here! Spring Garden 2020 update.

Image
Happy April Loves! A few post back I said that I would go into more details about our 2020 garden and what we are growing. I am happy to write this is that post! So we started this season by my husband prepping the beds that we would be transplanting our seeds into once they're mature enough and we are no longer under the threat of frost. He wanted to go for more of a market style set up so having the rows to walk through and provide plant maintenance was essential.  We used alot of chicken compost and the decomposing trees on the property to form our soil which was already pretty awesome. Alot of the compost had to be sifted to remove sticks and other material that didnt break down completely during the composting process.                   Our 2020 Garden layout  Around March 20th we received our Seed from  The Bakers Creek Heirloom Seed Company. We ordered lots of seeds and was surprised to see that they had thro...

Hey Yall! I hope all is well with you all reading this. During this time of pandemic I pray that you and your families are healthy and happily enjoying your time and space together. This is a really weird time that we are in right now. Everything is closed or limited due to COVID19. My homeschooled babies are getting antsy to get out and off the property and continue our regular trips to the park and library. My whole family has been home for about 2 weeks now and we have gotten a lot of projects done. We got our shower room finished and painted, rerouted the plumbing, got hot our hot water heater installed and working and we even found time to get our spring garden started with lots of yummy veggies and herbs. This week we have turned our focus to making sure we have time to enjoy our time together as a family and really taking care of ourselves. With the threat of the Corona virus looming overhead we have to be sure that we are doing our best to take care of ourselves and our familie...

Energy of the week: 8 of cups

Image
Happy Fullmoon in Virgo family! I am super excited because this past weekend I was gifted a brand spanking new Tarot deck called The Light Seers Tarot by Chris Anne. This deck is beautiful and was gifted to me by a good friend @mellietarot on Instagram.   Thanks Mellie! I will be using this deck this week for our energy of the week. But about this fullmoon though...This beautiful super moon in Virgo is here to empower us to achieve our dreams. In order for us to do that sometimes we have to remove the parts of ourselves that is getting in our way of achieving that. This is a time for us to reflect on things. Which brings me to the energy of the 8 of cups. The 8 of cups is all about letting go of disappointments, and releasing the things in our life that no longer serves our highest good. Leaving your old reality to create a new one, and moving through the stagnant energy. In the card there is a young woman walking away from the water and into what I as...

March crystal of the month: Bloodstone

Image
Happy March Loves! This month our crystal of the month is Bloodstone . This gorgeous green stone can be found in Australia, Russia, India, China, the Czech republic and the United states of America.      Bloodstone is also known as a heliotrope , that is a variety of jasper. The dark green color of the stone with its red specks through out is where we get the name Bloodstone.

Tarot Card Pull* Energy of the Week* The Tower Card

Image
The Tower cards primary principle is destruction. Its planetary correspondence is Mars .  Tower Card Keywords: sudden, change, upheavel, choas, revelation, awakening      A tower is being struck at the top by lightning. This is symbolic of the structure of our personality, our concious mind and outer life. Is being hit with a heavenly jolt of energy (Spirit). What we thought was solid and whole on longer serves our highest good. We receive a flash of intuition that deconstructs our previous sense of security and unity.      This apparent destruction frees allowing the possibility for greater wisdom. If you count the dots on either side of the tower you'll get the number 22. In Numerology 22 is a Master Builder. There is 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet, and these letters created the Torah. There are also 22 major arcana of the tarot, which primary wisdom is contained in these cards. A closer look will show us that these are not dots at al...

As someone who has been interested in all things spiritual, mystical and magical for a while, it's not till 3 years ago when I allowed myself to fully explore and embrace a different side of me. A new side that I am still learning and cultivating every day. I've always been interested in tarot, so in 2017 I gave myself full permission to dive in and purchase my first Rider Waite tarot deck. During this time I did self readings and simple readings for family and friends. Lately I have felt the urge to share my card readings with my blog readers ❤ I'd like to start with a weekly energy of the week card pull. This weeks card pull is The Death Card. This is not a negative card! Again I repeat This is not a negative card!! Please note that this card dosen't stand for death in a physical sense. The primary principle of this card is Transformation through ending and rebirth. The zodiac sign associated with this card is scorpio. Looking at this card we see a knight ...
