See those cute little mojo bags?  They're the new brand from SoulJourney, thanks to @NatalieZaman and @SashaGraham and their great idea!  Mama Sandi's Magickal Swag, to be exact.  Read on for more info!

Magickal Swag is a new line of magickal bags I started making, created, charged, and Reiki'd under the proper Moon phase for each purpose.  They're perfect for sticking in a pocket, in a purse, luggage, drawer, or anywhere you think is appropriate.  Right now, the purposes are: Courage, Healing, Hex Breaking, Love, Prosperity, Protection, Psychic Awareness, and Success/Luck.  And there'll be more coming, of course.

I am SO excited about these great products!  So in love, in fact, that I've been seen standing in front of them, or taking a walk past them, just to admire them! LOL  So silly, I know, but I can't help myself.  I love the colors, the smells ... everything!

They each have herbs and spices inside that work for the purpose, naturally, as well as a stone.  On the outside, they're blinged out with ribbon and beads and charms so they're really pretty to look at.  Priced at $10.00 each.

I'm also going to be launching a service for making Special Order bags.  You come in with as much information as you have, including names, birthdates, etc., and your purpose, and I'll make the bag for you.  And of course, I'll be charging it for the person you're having it made for.  Or yourself.  The Special Order bags are $25.00 and you'll have to allow for a minimum of one week for creation and charging.

There will be more items added to this line, but that's for a future blog.  Thanks so much for reading!

I thought I'd do a short blog about crystal skulls.  There seems to be a real resurgence and interest in them.

So why would you want one?  Well, first off, cause they're really cool. LOL  Lots of people are kind of creeped out about them, and others just love them.  I fall into the latter category.  Obviously, they're not for everyone.

A wonderful way to utilize them is in a crystal grid.  You can form a grid entirely of the skulls, either in various stones or all the same, whatever you're drawn to do.  I may have to incorporate them into my next grid class curriculum. :-)

They're very useful in meditation, especially in the symbology.  Meditation takes place in your head, and what are you meditating with but a head!?  Just treat it like any other stone you'd meditate with and you're good to go.

It's an excellent divination tool, and for the above reason (meditation), it's also excellent for increasing psychic awareness.  Skulls are also very helpful when sending healing to someone, so Reiki practitioners can definitely use them in their work.

Use them for sacred geometry, self-awareness, and just to increase human consciousness.

Take into account the stone the skull is made out of also.  You want it to be a stone you resonate with.

The skulls above:
Back Row - Rose Quartz and Clear Quartz, $50 and $100
Front Row - Clear Quartz, Charoite, Hematite, Amethyst, Clear Quartz, $25

After we went to the Dunbas Castle, we decided to head over to the now-defunct Starlite Ballroom.  On the grounds are these small castles that were very cool.  We only saw one, but it was worth the trip!

This is just one side.  There's even a waterfall right in the middle of the lower portion that's fed from the water in the moat.  Pretty wild!

So then we started walking around a little bit and went around the back of the building.  It's now owned by a Hasidic Jewish sect and there were lots of lights on inside and people walking around, so we decided to just stick to ourselves.

Here's the sign over the doorway.

And while we were around the back of the building, we spied these concrete deer.  Absolutely no idea why they were there or what was intended with them, and we even discussed taking an ear, but decided to let them rest in peace.

The last shot of the day that I took was of these upper room windows - fourth floor - of stacks and stacks of mattresses.  The entire event struck me as something that should be written up in Weird NJ Fringe.  So bizarre!
