Jason and I met up with a friend and went to the Metaphysical Fair in Denver today.
I've been twice before but there's always something to see there. It's worth a few bucks just for the people watching. I'll sometimes buy some stones or cards or a trinket of some sort but I don't really NEED most of what's there. It's mostly a lot of pretty.
Last year I bought a little bottle of Muscle Regeneration oil from Ravenscroft Escentials. We went to her talk about oils and aromatherapy and it was delicious. I would snort this oil if I could. It smells heavenly. I sniff it just as often as I actually use it on my body. I wish it came in bathtub size. I'd buy more but I just can't afford $50+ for a little bottle of niceness. If I could afford that I'd do some kind of amazing drug or something. Anyway, it's awesome and if you're in to that sort of thing I definitely recommend her oils.
The first time I went was in 2013 with Jason, his mom, and his brother. We went to a guided meditation thing about finding a spirit guide. I think. That's what it ended up being even if that's not what was intended. The short version of that story is that I ended up in a city from Star Trek and discovered that my cat was my spirit guide. Conveniently, she could also talk. My mum has taken my USB drive hostage or I'd post a picture but I'll post one when I get it back cause that was a super cute kitty I had. Thomasina the little orange kitty.
Today, in the same exact room, we went to see the super and sassy Sherry Shone talk about accessing messages. She talked about getting information about yourself....from yourself. I know. Seems like people would have thought of this already but for some reason we don't. She talked a bit about tarot, visualization, and finding and using your portal. We talked about what our portals would look like. Jason said his was a sewer opening like in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; I said I imagined it more as a den opening. (Dragon's den, to be exact. Duh.) Our friend Neil I imagined as having a more rustic, and less whimsical, version of a hobbit hole. For myself, I mostly envisioned sparklyness. Like a stagate of otherwordly glitter. For a moment I saw a beaded curtain but then I upgraded I guess. I can't remember what Jason thought of for me. He'll have to comment if he remembers.
After we have a portal in mind, Sherry guides us to the portal. I closed my eyes and listened. She mentioned a path. I saw a forested area with a little path leading to an opening. It wasn't quite right but it worked for a start. Then she said "runway" and I immediately was moved right smack in the middle of an open and mostly empty airport runway. That was definitely not right.
I flipped through a few more mental flashes and finally settled on the right channel. Then I realized it was absolutely the Yellow Brick Road.
Not a big shock if you know me, but not what I would have predicted, I suppose. There was still some forest around but it was more open then in the beginning. I walked toward the shimery glitter portal and I couldn't help but be reminded of Glinda's dress.
We opened up our eyes and came back to the non-portal world. When we returned again, we imagined a "rope" to anchor on this side of the portal in case we need it to guide us back. It's whatever grounds us on this side, I guess you could say, so you don't get lost in the portal realm.
I have a pretty clear image of the "rope" but I can't think of where it's from. It's like a translucent shimmering rope. It was attached on one side like a little harness and leash to Thomasina, my guiding orange kitty, and the other end was attached to me. So when I needed to return I'd have my kitty to lead me back. It's fitting that she'd come with me on the path. I also saw my little orange doggy but she was just there as my little love, not as my guide.
I thought it was interesting that my kitty appeared again but it makes perfect sense. She was there before, so certainly she should be there again.
After all this, we looked at the tarot cards she had given us. One was quite clear, and the other took a little longer to figure out.
The first one, on the right, seemed to obviously be about my almost entirely unsatisfying work. That chick doesn't look overly enthused in her work. The one on the left I didn't know what to make of until later. What I took from it (after realizing the girl in the picture had my hair, which had been a topic earlier in the day) was that I needed to be more free. I mean, she's floating around grabbing stars with some neat sky horses while the other one is weaving something that makes her make that face.
So...not sure how I DO that but....there's the message I accessed! One step at a time...
Aside from the nice smelling essential oils class last year, I think this one was my favorite! Had I not been to the first one to find my kitty guide this one might not have been the same; but since I already love Sherry, this one wins anyway.

Oh! She also mind controlled us to start clapping for no reason. Well done. xoxo
