Creating Sacred space can mean several things, the most important meaning however is what it means to you. You don’t have to spend hundreds of $’s creating a sacred space for you, but of course you can. It’s all up to you. One simple Sacred space I’ve created for myself consists of a beautiful ceramic Indian, 12 different stones, a small spell jar, a deck of tarot cards and a witchcraft book. Ive got those things sitting on the back corner of my desk.

What does this do for me personally? In the middle of working a shift through the day, I can get a sense of who I am, by just looking at my little Sacred Space I’ve created for myself. The Indian reminds me of my creative abilities. The cards reminds me of my love of divination and wishing to know the future, the stones represent peacefulness as well as great energy, depending on which I might pick up throughout the day. The book, well it reminds me I need to continue reading it.

Now of course there is a greater meaning to creating Sacred Space, because Sacred Space is also meant for spells, rituals etc. Spaces you can keep intact long after your spells been done. A place to go to, to perform such rituals and spells. Considering that I do my tarot readings at my desk, for the most part, Its good to have those things nearby, for me.

The next installment of The Small Things, will be a guide on creating your own Sacred Space, even if you don’t have space.

What has you down today? If you are one of the lucky ones, nothing! :)

Sometimes sadness seems to be overwhelming doesn’t it? No matter how much you try to interact with other’s ..you wind up feeling sad and blue when those “fun” times are over.

Instead of thinking constantly about the things that have you feeling sad and blue, why not try to think of the things that bring a smile to your face?

Do you know that if you focus on the things that bring you joy and happiness, you too, are soon feeling joyous and happy.

Have you ever thought about a friend you used to be close to, but have lost touch with? Sure you have! Have you ever done anything about that whole distance thing? Probably not. Why? Ask yourself why. Give yourself 10 good reasons why THIS person would NOT want to talk to you and give yourself 30 seconds to think of them..bet you can not come up with even 3 good reasons.

Are you afraid you are going to bring that other person down too? Don’t be, chances are you’re going to be too busy catching up on old times or making play-dates, that soon the miserable feeling you felt and that groaning sensation you had waiting for them to pick up the phone, will go away.

Too often people think that other people are feeling what you are feeling and are so intune with what you’re going through, that you don’t even give it a chance. Well here’s the kicker.. we aint all mind readers folks! Chances are YOU are the only one that knows how YOU are feeling, truly.. so give that other person a shot today…and pick up that damn phone!
