This week I have chosen to feature Tiger’s Eye as my crystal spotlight. Tiger’s eye is a very beautiful and more well-known stone in the crystal community.  It has lovely bands of yellows, golds, and browns that vary from stone to stone. I have never seen two pieces exactly the same.

Tiger’s eye is not only beautiful but very calming as well as powerful. This stone aids in harmony and balance as well as aides you in releasing fear and anxiety. Tiger’s eye is also known for aiding in decisions and understanding by helping uncloud your emotions.

In the olden days it was traditionally used as an amulet against harmful curses. It helps block negative energies while building self confidence and strength of will.  It also enhances creativity.

I often keep tiger’s eye close by in all my studios and work spaces to help keep me calm , focused , and balanced while working on my creative projects.

Tiger’s eye stones are often found in South Africa but also found in Brazil, India, Western Australia , and even the USA. The meaning of the stones name is simple, the stone looks like the eye of a tiger or cat in some ways. Tiger’s eye also comes in a blue and red tone, all equally as beautiful with slightly different traits to each color.

Tiger’s Eye also helps with the solar plexus chakra with has powerful effects of “the will” or “ I can” in your daily existence. By carrying or wearing this amazing stone you will often be more active mentally and physically. It also helps bring out many psychic gifts and develop more earthly connections.

Tiger’s Eye is one of my personal favorites. I also use it in a lot of my handmade  reiki and full moon charged and clensed crystal jewelry.  Below are a few of my latest creations and more can be found in either of my shops. ( www.shantasticshine.com   or Via ETSY)

Full moon card pull.

BEFORE i start with the card pull i would like to remind everyone that i will be LIVE tonight at 8 p.m. est on PROJECT BRING ME TO LIFE'S 2ND LIVE PODCAST. We are giving away free things as well as a wzclusive coupon discount for viewers. So please support us and check it out and share with friends !

Now today's card pull... kinda goes right along with yesterday's . Don't fear though this Full moon is effecting us all. Remember to build yourself up with the moonlight and accept a positive change. Because The sadness and isolation card has appeared and it's time to De isolate yourself and climb out of that hole you've so desperately wanted to hide in. Let your wings fly free and what is coming shall be.

When this appears remember that love can bring both joy and sorrow. When disappointment enters your life, it's important to acknowledge the accompanying sadness and feelings of loss. However , it's equally vital not to a dwell on the loss. The temptation may be to isolate your self from the world and cling to your grief. This card is a reminder to trust that this situation ( ad hard as it may seem) is to be in your best interest. It's time to gently let go of the sorrow and disappointments. Open up like the image and embrace your full light and potential. Sorrow can only hold you back if you let it. It could however elevate you to new levels of understanding if you allow it to as wwll. Focusing on your sadness and loss will prevent you from attracting new, positive energy around your relationships; so it's time to turn your disappointment into hope for the situation. Move beyond despair into healing and joyful love. Let go and move on. You have more powerful spiritual forces helping you than you could ever imagine. Ask them for guidance in this time. You deserve to shine.

Also remember that tonight is the Full moon ,  super moon at that. Make sure to put any crystals you have out for cleansing and remember that emotions may be flaring and some if not all people act differently at this time. Things are changing . Accept them with positivity you are what you put out.

Love and light on your daily fight.
Much love

Spend some time by the river... ground yourself

So after meditating some much needed stress out I  decided since the full moons a coming and crystals are being cleansed by the river in sunshine and hopefully later in the moonlight. I'm going to recreate my world just as needed with the guidance of some much needed ladies in my life.

Though I feel a wild storm a brewin. Tonight is the Blood Moon - Full Moon Eclipse I hope to see it but it's lookin' cloudy. I'm going to be working late and looking for the moon.

I've been kinda M.I.A. with my work and art and self really.  So I've been out in nature more and dealing with a lot of growing pains. But Changes are coming and I've been working hard at creating myself and my world.  And today I spent some more time by the river.... chatting with some friends sadly via my phone I wanted to take them into the woods with me. Sometimes I need the guidance of my ladies to help set me free.


"You said get In the zone lil momma so I took ya down by the river with me anyway planted some seeds and let the cards tell ya what the needed to say. I'll do my best to follow suit and let the guides lead the way. I have faith...they generally don't lead me astray." - For a friend who helped me get grounded today when a bit frazzled.

She pulled some cards for me and told me to get in the zone... so I went and created myself a little thrown
Here were the cards she pulled for me... funny really I've been awaiting an emperreess card... and there she sits upon her thrown..





"The Empress-Past- harmony, beauty, women, planet-venus, venus represents love beauty and what we cherish, values include, indulgences, comfort and pleasure, this card can indicate, fertility, pregnancy or creative growth(id go with that one ) haha, also indicates home and luxury, its time to pampar or indulge in YOURSELF!, could indicate decoration or new clothes for beauty, alo represents a women who is a homemaker or works inside the home(your art and SHINE TIME:D) this card also shows nurturing or the motherly side of a women..
10 of cups- Present- the picture is almost self-explanatory, with a man and women and two childern dancing with rainbow overhead, indicating contentment and great happiness, could mean marriage also means a happy home and pleasant emotions, such a joy appreciation relaxation, and love go with this card
5 of Pentacles- Future- in this card two people walking pat a church in the snow, both battling elements, could be spending to much money then anticipated, perhaps on a major purchase, this card often indicates worry about money, it can suggest money loss , a different meaning for this card is insecurity the person does not feel good about themselves or feelings of low elf esteem, POSITIVE THINKING AND AFFIRMATIONS can be very helpful ( you know this) ..in the card it shows the people ignoring or walking by the church you may need to renew your faith and or find spiritual guidance...

"Over all aweome spread lady id take from this you need to get back on your path back to who you are which we both concluded just from conversation, although it does show that if you follow your path weather spiritually or faithfully you will eventually pull through with self acceptance and freedom from doubt and worry, i would be careful with your future card, watch your valuables and your spending be sure to not travel and leave any type of meaningful things where someone could mess with or take your things" - JC
