Queenrollo your story about your son has made me cry. I'm an emotional wreck at the moment. Those sorts of moments with teenage boys are so precious.

YashmisCrone · 26/11/2018 20:56

What a beautiful moment queenrollo. That is so special. One of my most precious memories of my DF is of a similar experience (stopping to watch the sky together) when I was about the age your DS is now. I treasure it. It’s so lovely to hear of your experience.

Also very exciting that you’ve signed up to something new-wishing you all the best on your new adventure Smile

Sokere · 26/11/2018 21:06

@Elphame I hope it goes well with your transfer. Have you got a new puppy? Your DP sounds like he has settled into his retirement a lot more now. I recall the first week wasn't so hot!

@queenrollo A lovely memory for both of you to treasure.

@YashmisCrone I truly was guessing at what the images might mean so am more than pleasantly surprised.

I've had a late evening Christmas shopping and really enjoyed it. Felt the excitement in the air and love the lights. I like to make the most of it before it all gets too much!

YashmisCrone · 26/11/2018 21:48

Sokere I love the lights too, lights and a tree are my favourite parts of the season

As for your ‘guessing’, I’d say it’s very accurate! Your scrying’s been spot on. You seem to be a natural!

BlankTimes · 26/11/2018 22:05

Evening everyone, I agree the candles were a lovely gesture, thanks so much Speakout for thinking of it so we could all share. Another one near Yule will be fabulous.

Queenrollo fabulous story, I often think of the amount of things that we miss seeing in the sky as we have our heads down.
A couple of months ago, I was in the garden and saw part of a rainbow but it was upside-down in an otherwise summer's day type blue sky. By the time I went indoors and found the phone etc. it had faded a lot, I've added a pic of it, it's between the two wisps, like a smile in the sky.

YashmisCrone · 26/11/2018 22:56

That’s beautiful BlankTimes, I’ve never seen anything like it!

PawneeParksDept · 26/11/2018 23:42

As many of you are far more experienced than me I was wondering if any of you could tell me if there's a name for this, and whether it's a technique that once named I can develop?

I seem to have a really interesting ability to, if I think really hard and in the right way about someone to feel their actual physical presence or to feel as though I'm visiting them or they me.

Does anyone know what I mean?

BlankTimes · 26/11/2018 23:49

Thank-you Yashmis I've not seen one like that before either. I only wish I could have photographed it sooner because it was so bright, but only ever that shape and size.

I've seen a couple of what look like square rainbows before, but I'm pretty sure they were just the last vestiges of an ordinary rainbow fading.

I love this site cloudappreciationsociety.org/ warning, you can lose hours just browsing, but haven't seen anything like it on there either, on my photo the colours of the rainbow are upside-down.

This is the closest so far, but I'm not convinced it's the same thing. cloudappreciationsociety.org/gallery/photo/photo-n-289867

Sokere · 27/11/2018 07:24

@Blanktimes Thank you for listing that site. Absolutely stunning photographs. I had a screen saver of clouds and the sky I love them so much.

@Pawnee I don't know what it's called but do you mean when you get a deep sense of another person?

YashmisCrone · 27/11/2018 07:38

BlankTimes I love the site to. The perfect wormhole for me to fall down with my morning tea! Fascinated by your sky smile, I found this:
www.physics.org/article-questions.asp?id=58

Weird that they seem to be caused by ice crystals, yet yours was seen on a summer day

Pawnee I think I know what you mean- as Sokere describes? I’m not sure what it would be called either though

speakout · 27/11/2018 07:40

Good morning witch sisters.

So so dark this morning!

I have some witch balls to make today, just about to start.

I hop you all find some magic in your day X

Sokere · 27/11/2018 08:25

I feel I want to return to spellwork. I've only done protective /good luck /health type spells and then stopped for a while. Why would I feel this I wonder?

I asked Tarot (obviously Smile) and just keep getting the Magician card.

Maybe I'll start again by making one of your witches bottles speakout.. I'm not sure why I'm feeling drawn to do this. Do any of you know why you get drawn to spellwork (other than a specific purpose) is it a way of connecting /developing?

BlankTimes · 27/11/2018 09:43

YashmisCrone Wow, thank-you for that, it's fascinating, I can hardly pronounce what it's really called Wink Smile in the sky will do.
From your link "Upside down rainbows, or ‘circumzenithal arcs’, to give them the proper name, are not caused by rain. Normal rainbows form when light refracts through raindrops, mist, or sometimes even sea spray. The upside down kind however, are caused by ice crystals in the air. They are more common in cold climates, but still fairly rare."

I guess the atmosphere is just really cold at the height they form despite it being summer 'on the ground'

Then the image below that reminded me I've also managed - again not brilliantly - to capture a double rainbow or at least both ends of it, the right hand side outer rainbow is very faint, - you'll have to imagine the bit in the middle, I couldn't get it all in one shot.

I have a quartz bridge crystal (one small double terminated embedded in the other at right angles) fashioned into a wand and when the sunlight hits it at the right angle, the rainbow it creates travels down the shaft then when it hits the embedded one it intensifies the colours and literally 'fires around corners' Here's a pic of me holding it, not yet managed to hold it in a shaft of light and photograph the effect I've described. One day...

Sokere glad you like the Cloud Appreciation site too, there are some stunning images on there.
I've found with personal development that getting drawn to something usually sets off a load of synchronicity if you ignore it, so eventually you get the message it may be a good idea.

Pawn maybe this helps explain your sense of someone else, I like Rupert Sheldrake although like everyone else who sees something differently, he's very much out of mainstream and therefore vilified by the establishment.
www.sheldrake.org/research/morphic-resonance

Speakout I enjoy every part of creating something, but there's always a time with the assembling of all the individual parts to create a unique whole that is literally magic.

Morning everyone. Beautiful sky pictures. I love looking at the sky. It's been think cloud and grey here for days which is getting me down.

Pawnee that's really interesting. I would interpret this as a call to get in touch with that person for some reason.

YashmisCrone · 27/11/2018 11:30

Gorgeous rainbow pics BlankTimes it is fascinating isn’t it. I agree re the name and like sky smile! (That’s how I found that info via google!)

Sokere another one here saying to follow your intuition- the magician, to me, says you have all you need to create the magic. It’s in you. I think it’s a good way to develop/connect, yes and also to create powerful shifts and change- something you’ve been working on for a while.. lots of other perspectives of course but that’s what come to my mind when I read your post.

Violet sorry to hear the grey skies are getting you down. I had an ex who suffered terribly from SAD. We had one of these alarm clocks

m.iwantoneofthose.com/accessories/lumie-bodyclock-starter-30-wake-up-light-alarm-clock/11424792.html?affil=thggpsad&switchcurrency=GBP&shippingcountry=GB&&thg_ppc_campaign=71700000044528445&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIq4mw7LD03gIV4b3tCh2ZLA4oEAQYAiABEgL7_fD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

and he’d also use something like this when he was working at his desk

They seemed to help him a lot, along with getting out in the open despite the weather.

I’ve just had a commitment cancelled for this evening. It’s something I usually enjoy but tbh I’m really pleased. I’ve just got the urge to be at home as much as possible atm. Clearing and creating a cosy/homely vibe. I’m looking forward to a break from work at Christmas to enjoy it all. Despite my ‘chucking out’ instinct right now I have the same issue with books as Elphame I really can’t part with them and need more space/another bookshelf to accommodate my ever growing collection. I’m working on turning a room into a library- always a dream of mine and an advantage of having an empty nest!

PawneeParksDept · 27/11/2018 15:49

I've waited til I got a chance to respond properly

Basically it's something I've been able to do since I was a teenager and it's only since it happened two nights ago that it occurred to me to ask you all. I suppose I've always assumed that it was something that EVERYONE did or could do and it's the participation in this thread that's made me realise it's probably unusual.

So, imagine it's a person that you are worried about, a friend you miss, a loved one you crave...

I seem to be able to conjure them in my imagination so strongly that I can almost touch them and it feels like I'm there with them or they are in the room with me.

Two nights ago this was so strong that I felt as though I was being kissed

This is not a new thing in my life, but the thread made me wonder whether it's a skill that can be used/stretched or honed in some way

I will look at that link thank you @BlankTimes

TooManyPaws · 27/11/2018 19:47

That's a very good talent to have, Pawnee, and one that many witches spend a long time learning! The power of visualisation, can be very useful as that visualisation and strength of creation is used in so much work, particularly in healing. The sort of feeling of bilocation, of being with the person, is not unheard of and sometimes a spirit duplicate of yourself may be seen or felt by that person. I believe that it was one of the abilities of Padre Pio along with healing. Perhaps set up a trial with a friend - set a time to concentrate on what your friend is doing, wearing, where, and then finding out and improving accuracy? ❤️

PawneeParksDept · 27/11/2018 20:00

Thanks for replying @TooManyPaws I feared I had killed the thread!

Interesting what you say about Padre Pio, obviously know of him (lapsed Catholic) but not much of him, will research!

speakout · 27/11/2018 21:41

That does sound an amazing skill pawnee.

I have a very visual way of thinking, and I can easily conjour images in my minds eye, but not to that extent.
I have been having a relaxing evening- peppermint tea, doing some online christmas shopping and an early night.

Amazing to see this thread is nearly fill- we will need a fifth soon- that's 4000 contributions- so amazing!!

OP posts:
owlshooting · 27/11/2018 23:33

Pawnee - I know what you mean because this has happened to me, but only with one person with whom I had a very strong bond. I was able to communicate psychically and actually felt their presence. I haven't had this with anyone else, but feel I could have if I worked at it. It's the same thing as people knowing that a loved one has died. My grandfather had a burst ulcer in WW2 and was calling out to my grandmother in pain. She maintains she heard him. It's all the same thing.

Sokere · 28/11/2018 07:34

@speakout It's incredible to think you're initial thread has brought so many people together.

@Pawnee I must admit I've never heard of that, but I do remember hearing about Padre Pio. That is an amazing ability you have. Do you do healing as well? I would imagine the two might go together.

YashmisCrone · 28/11/2018 08:55

Just stopping by to say good morning,

There are strong winds and rain here. Whilst I do enjoy the feeling of such powerful weather, I’m not looking forward to having to drive through it!

Some interesting answers here for Pawnee, I’m no expert by any means but it sounds like some type of empath skill to me. Very powerful.

I love it that there’s been nearly 4000 posts here. Such a beautiful, rich tapestry being woven and still going strong. I’m so glad you started it speakout, so many of us benefit from this wonderful place. Long may it continue Smile

PawneeParksDept · 28/11/2018 10:31

@Sokere

I've been told I would be a good healer and women I'm close to always seem to fall pregnant but I've never actually actively tried anything

Elphame · 28/11/2018 10:52

That is a great skill Pawnee - to be able to visualise as well as that is a rare thing.

Sorry I've been absent - spent the whole day yesterday visiting pubs in Bristol. We ended up walking about 10 miles and it was a long long day. I don't think very much is going to be achieved at all today!
