Healing

I'm getting organized! This page is a listing of healing or some might say woo-related posts, mainly energy work and crystals.* The list will be growing as I work on cleaning the site up. Please be patient. Also, to reiterate the intent with any of these types of posts, please remember this statement from my about page:  I was also a massage therapist and energy worker (Reiki and polarity therapy) for over 10 years. There may be posts on alternative healing methods not to be used as a replacement for sound medical advice (being woo doesn't mean you have to be anti-modern medicine, anti-vax, anti-pharma or anti-science).

Crystals

Herbal

*Concerns regarding how we come by crystals have been around for a long time. I bought haphazardly in the '90s not really questioning where they were from. I also received some as gifts and bought some from real rockhounds. I've put off buying anything new for now, but I still share some of my older articles on the topic for those interested.  Of interest: Dark crystals: The brutal reality behind a booming wellness craze. Also, you might consider doing online searches for ethically-sourced crystals before you buy or if you live near a rock shop, talk to the folks who work there.

Walnut - Witchcraft Tree for Fertility Magic, Healing and Transitions

Image
The walnut tree has provided food and material used for healing since the Roman times. Its long association with witchcraft once made the tree an object of suspicion and fear. Modern witches, however, hold the tree sacred and use it in folk magic and herbal remedies following in the footsteps of their ancient counterparts. In much of Europe and Asia, the common walnut, also known as the English walnut, is widely cultivated for its delicious nuts. The most prevalent walnut trees in North America are the white or butternut walnut and the black walnut tree. Black Walnut. Credit: Jami Dwyer, Wikimedia Commons .

Linda Rector Page, N.D., in Healthy Healing: A Guide to Self-Healing for Everyone relates that one of the many benefits of manganese is supporting the brain and nerve centers. It also helps eliminate fatigue and nervous conditions. The le

Smoky quartz, one of my favorite grounding stones. Credit: Parent Géry, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons I've created a new meditation video for my Northland Hearth channel in support of my article at Hubpages titled, Crystals for Grounding and Healing the Root Chakra . My goal is to add more audio and video media to my existing blog posts and articles across the web, as well as create new written content and support it with videos. This will include a range from what some might consider "woo" to hard polytheist journeys. Why should AI have all the fun, eh? I hope you enjoy.

Trump a light-worker?

Image
I'm currently working on a healer's bio of sorts as a personal archive that may be of interest to others who've traveled a similar path, which I hope to publish here in the next few months. It'll include my experience going from an evangelical belief system to the New-Age toxic positivity movement and how they're often two sides of the same coin. In the meantime, I came across a fascinating bit of "channeled" info. I haven't completely let go of my woo-girl days that I'll be covering in the bio. I've noticed a strange phenomenon in the lightworker community. People actually think Donald Trump is a lightworker. Maybe it's not so strange. I've seen people, especially women, treat abusers as victims in New Age and Pagan circles. From what I observed in the '90s and early aughts, these abusers have to start out by using performance progressivism to get women to fall for it. While I don't think Trump has any loyalty to a party, he
