So my wonderful Cheeky Angels, what do you think of the new logo and new look? We are very excited about it all and our whole lives are consumed with the magazine and how we can improve it to bring you the best informative, exciting and interesting articles. There have been a few glitches behind the scenes with all three of us having energy shifts which has really affected us but nevertheless we are not ones to be beaten!

I would put your seatbelt on though as it is certainly going to be a ride! We believe that this Edition is yet again packed full of fabulous articles and as you have probably already seen, we have widened our scope to a Mind, Body & Spirit Magazine as we want to take a Holistic & Spiritual approach so it is not just Spiritual but the whole way of life.

Hi, I’m Mandy. I am part of the Cheeky Angels Team and the “normal one!” I am a wife and Mother to 2 boys, aged 18 & 6. I lead a very hectic life and have somehow obtained the nickname of the Energizer Bunny! I can’t think why…. I run my own business as a self employed hairdresser, am a tutor teaching Mediumship and Psychic development alongside doing public demonstrations. I am a working Spiritual Medium & Psychic as well as a Pet Psychic and Animal Communicator. I am the other owner of the ‘Mediumship Messages and Training Centre’ group on Facebook alongside Stella and we share the same beliefs & values in helping & nurturing others to grow. We all have a very good friendship between us but with different areas of expertise and I am really looking forward to combining all areas together to form a unique magazine with real people, real stories and we tell it as it is with no airs and graces. With us, what you see is what you get.

Hi, I’m Stella, I am the Aussie part of the team. I am a Wife and a Mum to my own three children (adults!), and adopted Mum to hundreds. I love to look after people and to make other people feel happy in their lives. I work as a Tarot Reader, in a few different places. I work from a shop, a theme park, online, in person and have worked at many Psychic Fairs. This is my passion along with healing; I am a Reiki Master and Teacher. I am one of the owners of the ‘Mediumship Messages and Training Centre’ on Facebook where it is our mission to help as many people as we possibly can to develop their gifts at their own pace and in a comfortable and safe environment. I am admin on a lot of Spiritual Pages and have met some truly wonderful people over the years. I cannot remember a time when I did not read the Tarot, but I did once upon a time, have a ‘proper job’ as a cook and before that a secretary. I had a rather nasty car accident which left me disabled in as much as that I cannot hold down a ‘proper’ job anymore with set work hours. But what I do now suits me very well. I am an optimist and I love to learn and to share, so Cheeky Angels Magazine is a chance for me to cover all of my passions in one place.

I’m the baby of the group and I considered myself normal until, I met the crazy two above about three years ago and my life hasn’t exactly been the same since!!! Anyway, I live in Portsmouth, Hampshire, UK with my partner. I work full time in Sales Support, so it’s been fun trying to fit the magazine in at the same time!!! I love to research my family history and go to Zumba, Pilates & Slimming World (yes i do love it!)... oh and my favourite band is Boney M......!!! Now you know I am not normal! I am loving being part of this and bringing you all knowledge, other peoples views and a bit of laughter..

TERRI SETTERINGTON Everyone has the ability to be psychic. Many people have experienced an extrasensory event but few acknowledge this fact, often passing it off as being a trick of the mind or the result of an overactive imagination. It seems that once these events start to become more regular that some inquisitive people will choose to explore their psychic side and develop their budding talent through workshops or spiritual circles. However, ability will often differ from one person to the next; some people purport to hear Spirit (Clairaudience), some feel Spirit (Clairsentience), and others may see Spirit (Clairvoyance), but imagine what a thrill it is to know the history of an inanimate object by simply holding it in your hand. This skill is Clairsentient in its very nature and widely known as psychometry. In essence, there are three areas of psychometry; object, person, or location. Object psychometry is by far, the most commonly practiced. An object can be read using one of three techniques: 1) The object is held in the palm of the hand 2) The object is held against the forehead and/or face 3) The object is placed against the solar plexus. These methods allow the psychometrist to sense the energy coming from said object. These specific parts of the body accommodate the Chakra centres that are most functional in sensory perception. Hans Holzer (1975) explored a theory that, “…

.” The most common way to practice psychometry is firstly to slow yourself down, as relaxation is the key to shifting your consciousness. When we achieve physical relaxation, we naturally relieve any emotional or mental tension and open up our higher state of self, which in turn will allow intuitive thought processes to flow. The easiest way to achieve a semi-meditative, relaxed state is through the correct use of deep breathing exercises. Breathing, although essential to life is an involuntary process that occurs without thought for the majority of people. When we start to think about the way that we breathe and as such begin to take control of the function, the body will automatically start to relax. Breathing should be rhythmic and always originate from the diaphragm, using both the nose and the mouth. Inhale through the nostrils, as the small hairs in the nasal passages serve to filter out any dust or particles and for that reason, the individual is less likely to cough and disturb their relaxation. Exhalation should be through the mouth. The psychometrist needs to be in a quiet room with all distractions minimised. The person they intend to read for should accompany them to this room and bring the object for the reading with them. The reader should sit in a comfortable chair with their head well supported; feet need to be flat on the floor, hands placed on the lap in a palmsup position and eyes closed. Start by inhaling a nasal breath over a 3-second period, hold it briefly then exhale slowly through the mouth for a full 6 seconds. Repeat this rhythmic breathing pattern and slowly the body will begin to relax. Once fully relaxed, the psychometry object is then placed into the reader’s hand. It is at this stage, when feeling the object enter the hand that the

psychometrist should begin to visualise a candle with a flickering flame against a dark background. Once the image is clear in the mind, allow the inner self to extinguish the flame with a quick, singular blow. As the flame goes out, the first thoughts that come into the mind should be spoken aloud. These words will directly relate to the object in the readers hand. Initially the words/thoughts may be confusing but with practice and over time, the skill will become honed and the reader will be able to understand the order and meaning, which will allow for clarity of intuitive thought. In the early stages of perfecting this psychic skill, it is important that the person presenting their psychometry object for a reading has knowledge of the history and ownership of the item (for instance, grandma’s ring or granddad’s wristwatch) and will be willing to discuss the information openly with the reader during the debrief period. This will allow the developing psychometrist to verify for their successful hits them self and therefore expand their confidence and experience. As the psychometrist becomes more proficient in their psychic ability, they will be able to move on to anonymous objects, thereby giving the owner information that they can take away and research. For many people psychometry continues to be one of the easiest psychic talents to develop. Through the act of psychic touch, an individual can become consciously aware of the historical circumstances that relate to the object or about the people that have owned or handled the item. The psychometrist will form impressions about the object and these may manifest in a variety of forms, but all will occur through the physical contact that the reader makes with the object. The four most common forms of impression are image, auditory, emotional or physical. Some psychometrist’s use one or a combination of these impressions. Mental imagery is self-explanatory, whereby the psychometrist will see pictures in their intuitive minds-eye and they will formulate their reading based on what they have seen. Auditory signals may come in the form of words and phrases or even random sounds, sometimes the reader will use their spirit guide to gather the information on their behalf. Emotional impressions are probably the easiest to receive as much of which is imprinted in or coated on the object will often relate to an emotionally charged time in the items history. The psychometrist will pick-up on the feelings either happy or sad, which will trigger intuitive thoughtprocesses to flow. Finally, physical impression occurs in a variety of ways. The reader may experience a change in temperature or tingling sensations. The object may vibrate, or the psychometrist may experience pain, nausea, or symptoms that directly relate to a medical or physical condition that the deceased, earlier owner had in life. With all forms of psychism, development and practice are essential in order to become an effective psychometrist. This skill will enhance the use of the ‘five senses’ and retrain an individual to look at life and people from all levels of consciousness and not just from what is seen by the naked eye.

Paranormal Investigator

I have written for pleasure for many years but have enjoyed being a paranormal investigator for much longer (30 + years). Therefore, in 2009 it made sense for me to help a friend when he wanted to write ‘ ’. This project so inspired me as a writer, therefore, since then I have been involved in many written exploits, albeit many of a fictional, contemporary nature. I also gained a postgraduate degree in Parapsychology in 2009 and despite seeing myself as a sceptic; I have witnessed and experienced many paranormal phenomena, that until this day, I still cannot explain. My juices are flowing in the esoteric world and the idea of life after death fuels my ardour and keeps my farreaching interests honed. My interest in this genre is vast and I am not scared to die, as I believe there is whole other journey out there for us. In the everyday world, I work as a Medical Nurse Practitioner who supports Doctors in the secondary, acute care environment. I diagnose my patients, prescribe for their needs, and run the cardiac arrest team. Life is therefore, never boring. I am married, mother to four grown up children and grandmother to seven… life does not allow me much slack. Oh, and I ride motorcycles… did I say? www.contact-throughart.co.uk

Tea Leaf Reading

MANDY CARR

International Spiritual Medium and Pet Psychic/Animal Communicator.

Tasseography (also known as tasseomancy or tassology) is a divination or fortune telling method that interprets patterns in tea leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediments. The terms derive from the French word tasse (cup), which in turn derives from the cognate Arabic word tassa, and the Greek suffixes graph (writing), -logy (study of), and mancy (divination). There is no scientific evidence that the future can be determined through interpretation of these patterns.

shapes are then interpreted intuitively or by means of a fairly standard system of symbolism, such as: snake (enmity or falsehood), spade (good fortune through industry), mountain (journey of hindrance), or house (change, success). Melton's described methods of pouring away the tea and shaking the cup are rarely seen; most readers ask the querent to drink the tea off, then swirl the cup. Likewise, his notion that readers give intuitive interpretations reflects his unfamiliarity with teacup reading; most readers use the standard symbols that have been handed down through several generations. There are, however, many who prefer to read by feel and intuition, as stated by Melton. The first inklings of Western tasseography can be traced to medieval It is traditional to read a cup from the European fortune tellers who developed present to the future by starting along the rim at the handle of the cup and their readings from splatters following the symbols downward in a of wax, lead, and other molten spiral manner, until the substances. This evolved bottom is reached, which into tea-leaf reading symbolizes the far in the seventeenth future.

The many elaborate tea cup sets specially reasons for these prohibitions are designed and decorated to aid in practical: tea-bag tea is cut too finely to fortune-telling.

My areas of expertise are Mediumship, Public demonstrations, t utoring, Spiritual Healing and Animal Communicating (passed & living). A s well as Spiritual clearances for the more problematic Spirits and also Paranormal investigations. I have been Clairvoyant since being a small child and at a young age I was fearful of my gift as there was no explanation from anybody and a lack of understanding. When I suffered a severe trauma as I approached my late teens my world turned upside down and brought back my gift with a vengeance. This led me to learn more about it and embrace it because i accepted it was never going to go away. I joined a development circle which helped me to see that my experiences were nothing to fear. I also realised that I was not limited to human Spirits but also that I could link with pets both passed and still living and communicate via telepathy, images and feelings with them. My journey has led me to want to help others to understand their experiences and how to accept them as a positive gift. I now run a development group in Sheffield UK as well as an international online development group on Facebook. I have been featured in the d aily Mail, Chat magazine, Pick Me Up magazine and italkFM radio in Spain.

The Encyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology, Fifth Edition, Vol. 2 edited by J. Gordon Melton, notes: After a cup of tea has been poured, without using a tea strainer, the tea is drunk or poured away. The cup should then be shaken well and any remaining liquid drained off in the saucer. The diviner now looks at the pattern of tea leaves in the cup and allows the imagination to play around the shapes suggested by them. They might look like a letter, a heart shape, or a ring. These

Q

I would like to know more about table tipping!!...I've experienced this during circle and it totally amazed me!! Does spirit simply use everyone's energy to move the table?? Was the fact that I felt very dizzy when we first started a build up of all of our energy or something to do with spirit using my energy? I love this form of communication and would like as much information as you could give

me!! Thank you all Rachel Ray Woodward xx Thank you for your question. Table tipping is a technique of communicating with Spirit. It is usually done with 2 – 6 people and works best if one or more of those people are Spirit Medium’s and it works better if the Medium is a Physical Medium (that is able to produce physical evidence of Spirit). This is because they are able to reach a higher vibration in order to communicate with Spirit.

If you do or have felt so close to someone, know their thoughts and feelings yet you have known them for a short period of time could it be that you knew them in a past life?? This was someone I knew who grew up in a different country, had a different lifestyle, religion and yet for a period of time we were so close we were almost the same person if that makes sense. Sort of how close twins describe their relationship.

Q

Rachel Ray-Woodward - I'm a Past life Reader and yes, I do see you and this Person are indeed connected in this life due to past life relationships. I see there being 3 past lives together in which this person in one of your past lives was a marksmen named Lance and you were a wealthy business lady of royalty called Edith and the both of you came together, you as female this person as male. It was back in the 1400’s.

The group sits around the table and after saying a prayer or asking for protection the séance starts, Everybody attending puts their hands lightly on the table top and one person (preferably the Medium) asks simple yes or no questions. When a Spirit is present the table will move in accordance to the answer. It could tilt or turn and sometimes completely levitate. It is a form of physical mediumship, whereby Spirits use their energy vibration to move or elevate the table. The people around the table are also raising their own energy in order to open up the channels of communication. Messages may also come through to the group by the methods of mental mediumship, i.e. hearing, seeing, feeling, and smelling due to these channels being open at the time. Table tipping was a popular means of Spirit communication in the mid 1800 to early 1900 where it was all the rage to have friends over to hold a séance with table tipping. It fell out of favour again but is seeing a reemergence of popularity again today.

When people connect closely in this life and feel a sense of 'knowing' and feeling comfortable it is always past life related. We can all have had many past lives relating to another person or maybe as little as one, but we are brought together and re-incarnated in this life to live out 'unfinished business'. Past lives can range from being just close friends to being 'twin flame' connected in a romantic link. We are all here to serve a purpose and no matter what the culture, creed or nationality, we can have had a direct link through past lives. It is not uncommon for people to continuously re-incarnate into this life with the same connection as in a past life and not uncommon for us to be a different gender or race in the next life. Past life links can stay with us for always in this life, or they can come to serve a purpose then are gone. It is about life's lessons teaching and learning from each other to make us stronger and develop the strength we need to also move on with courage. Lynnessia Nicholson

I went to look at a house in a view to rent. It was perfect, the bathroom was on the top floor with a nice wooden cupboard little did I know what was behind it when I moved in. I went upstairs and I opened the cupboard, it was then that it all started. I felt something walk through me and I thought nothing of it at the time but when I went to sleep that night I felt something laying upon me and I could not speak or move. The next night I slept in another bedroom and it happened again. I moved to several rooms with the same occurrence. My partner at the time had a hip replacement and could not make it upstairs so I decided to sleep downstairs with her. She told me that she felt a hand on her thigh and I told her what happened while she was in hospital. We spoke for a while then fell asleep, it happened again to me this time I shouted get off me and it went away. I have moved to several flats since and it as happened lots of times. The most scary was at my last flat i can only describe it as a queue of spirits laying on me in turn. One was so heavy the bed groaned under the weight and so I turned to Facebook for help. I found a site that offered me a cleansing prayer to say for 7 days. Since then I have met someone and I’m now doing a psychic development class with great results. I’m getting married later this year and I still sense the odd spirit but have only seen a cat and heard my late Granddad. All is good Love and Light Richard xxx

Tarot Tavern

We hope you enjoyed our interpretations of ‘The Fool’ in our last Edition and that it helped you or perhaps there was something in there that you had not thought about before. It is really interesting seeing and reading others perspectives. It doesn’t matter at what stage you are as a Tarot Reader, you will always see something different or your Guides will help you interpret it differently. So, you have met ‘The Fool’ at the start of his journey naively going on his merry way - now meet ‘The Magician’.

When the Magician card appears in a spread it brings to mind the beginn ing of a new phase/ chapter in your life. This is a period where you are able to power ahead and manifest all of the things that you dream of. You have all of the necessary tools at your disposal to make a real go of success and you will be doing so under the watchful eyes of the Gods, who will assist in many ways. It is a time when it is necessary to use your intellect, and take note of everything that is going on around you that could possibly interrupt your flow toward achievement. The Magician card is usually represented by a man in a white gown with a red jacket over the top. The white gown represents the purity of the situation, a new situation that is yet to be explored and the red gown shows that the person in question has experience & knowledge to back them up. He is much wiser than the previous card of the Fool, who rushes ahead blindly toward his objective. The Magician stands at a table which contains all of the suits of the tarot deck (earth, air, fire and water) which shows that he is equipped fully to reach his goal, if he uses all of the resources available to him, body, mind, heart and soul. He is standing holding a staff that is pointed up toward the sky with a symbol of eternity above his head and his other hand pointing down towards the Earth. This shows that he is able to channel the energy from the vast universe to manifest his desires upon the Earth plane. There is of course a warning with the Magician. He stands in a bed of flowers, but intertwined with the pretty

STELLA

flowers are thorny roses, which whilst beautiful hold danger. This is a reminder that it is easy to become overconfident when things are going your way so easily. It is a reminder that you should be careful that you do not become arrogant and big headed in your success. It is also a reminder that with over confidence it is easy to be swayed along a path that will lead to your destruction. It is important to keep your intellect intact at all times and to know fully what is the outcome that you desire, so as not to be mislead and swayed from your path by somebody underhanded and manipulative. It is always important to keep our wits about us and to keep ourselves grounded in any venture that we undertake. It is possible to achieve great heights, as long as our feet remain firmly on the ground and our head remains out of the clouds. One more reminder of the Magician is that when we are using our skills to our best advantage, and we come to a standstill, it is important to stop and reassess that we are actually using all of the skills that we possess in order to achieve the best outcome. Do not focus entirely on the most obvious, but dig deeper within ourselves for all the knowledge that may be useful in the current situation. I have read many stories based about the Major Arcana and it is interesting how people interpret. You see you could have ‘The Fool’ as the main character who visit’s each Major Arcana or of course ‘The Fool’ could morph into any of these Major Arcana. I like to think that it is ‘The Fool’s’ journey and he is visiting the Magician for advice on how to move forward on his journey. When I pull this card I always have the immortal words of Sir Winston Churchill in my head: ' '. Of course this was about winning World War 2 but if you look at it the Magician always has tools around him so he can magically complete what he

needs to do. It reminds us that we can make our own miracles happen if we try - you have the power within you to do whatever you want to do but you need to believe that you can. If you don’t believe it how can you expect anyone else to. It reminds me actually of that itchy nose in Bewitched - she just twitched her nose and hey presto! You can do that too - not necessarily in the same way and as quick as her but you still have the power within you. Magician’s are also illusionists and this is a powerful trait as it demonstrates that you may want people to see something one way but actually it is another - a bit like the Trojan Horse in Greek Mythology where the Greeks used to enter the city of Troy and end the conflict. I know there’s a theme going on here with wars and it wasn’t actually meant like that! But when the Magician shows up it could also mean that you are pretending that something is ok or someone else is not being true to themselves. It is all for show and part of the illusion. It is just a warning that perhaps not everything is as it should seem perhaps but of course, it all depends on where the Magician lays in the spread and the other cards around it, as well as using your intuition. Again if we look at different types of Magic - look at Houdini who was a very skilful lock picker and escape artist so again, we can interpret the magician in that you are able to escape quickly from difficult situations. Again, what that situation is depends on where it sits in the card spread but it could mean that you use your intuition and escape from love situations, arguments and fights etc etc… Of course don’t forget that Psychics & Mediums were seen as Magicians back in the olden days!

for me the magician card is as the name suggests, is about magic - it’s about miracles and the opportunities of revealing hidden gems in our life, quite literally pulling a rabbit out of a hat. When I see this card it suggests that (for the person being read for) has control over their life, they have all the tools necessary to accomplish their needs and thus help attain their desires..… you need only believe it.… believe in miracles

I think he reminds us that we have at our disposal everything we need to make positive changes in our lives.

When I get the magician, it shows that positive change and unexpected seemingly miraculous solutions will appear to help the person

Hi there,

Q

My question is regarding tarot cards. I understand what the individual cards mean, but I can't understand how to read the cards all together. How do I connect the cards together rather than just understanding them individually? Thankyou kindly Tanya

Thank you for your question; it is a common question that a lot of learners would share. Once you have learnt the basic meanings for each of the cards it can seem impossible to read them with any sense of flow. The problem stems from the belief that each card has a set meaning and that this meaning cannot be changed, in which case your readings will be very stop/start and not seem to flow very well at all. It is a big step when you are learning the cards but it is necessary that you try not to concentrate too much on the stated meanings that are given to each card, but in fact try to rely more on what you are feeling/ sensing / hearing when you are giving the reading. For example: You may have pulled out of the pack, the 2 of pentacles, the fool and the Page of swords: The Two of Pentacles represents a time in your life where you are doing very well, you are able to sustain all of your wants and needs through the work that you are doing. You are happy with the way things are going and can carry on working and also enjoying your life with a sense of security that things are not going to deteriorate and leave you wanting. The Fool represents a time of moving into something new without too much thought, irrational decisions without much forethought as to the outcome of actions. Stepping out into an unknown area, having all of your skills and abilities with you, but letting excitement move you rather than rational or logical thought.

person is doing very well for themselves and are in a position where everything seems to be going according to plan but that the situation lacks a challenge and the excitement of something new. In comes the energy of the fool with his need for adventure without thought and the person is swept up in the excitement of plans to make changes and ready to accept new challenges. The page of swords is there as a reminder that excitement is short lived when reality kicks back in and that there is a need to listen and learn from the people who are more experienced in the situation you are undertaking, otherwise disappointment and failure may follow. So this simple three card spread would, in a nutshell, suggest that somebody who is very successful may decide to take on new ventures, and eagerly step ahead into an unknown area of expertise, but it carries the warning to make up for the shortfall in their own expertise by surrounding themselves with the right people to get the job done. If they leave arrogance behind and accept advice they will do well, but if they rush ahead as if they are indestructible, they will find out very quickly just how wrong they can be.

Stella

The Page of Swords represents somebody who is full of ideas and big plans for the future. Excitement again leads the way with this card, although the Page will ask the right questions of the right people, he will often move ahead too quickly without waiting for the correct answer. He is full of excitement but this directed towards the new project, he may become bored very easily as time goes by but if he mixes with the right people and takes his time he will succeed in his endeavours. When reading these three cards, it would be a little confusing as to why with the first card that is showing success would somebody take the irrational move to leap into something new with the fool card, and backed up with the page of swords. When you use your intuition to assist you in the reading, you may find that the person is rather bored by the monotony of the initial situation, yes the

Colours of the Angels is a healing modality that was channeled by Stephen Lovering of “ ” I have been using this healing modality for approximately 10 years now and find it is a very accessible method to call on your Angels when you feel that you really could use some help. Just by visualising a colour you are instantly connected to the Arch Angel that you wish to receive assistance from and it is very calming when you feel their energy wash over you. For those who opted to take advantage of the FREE ATTUNEMENT (usual value $30), that was advertised only in the Cheeky Angels Magazine Newsletter, this took place on the 20 May. Full course details, and instructions on how to pass on the attunement to others were emailed before hand. This is the original course document as received from One Healing Academy and written by Stephen Lovering, I have not changed it in any way. th

who serves in the First Ray which is the Blue Ray and the Ray of Protection and Power. who serves on the Second or Yellow Ray which is the Ray of Illumination and Wisdom. who serves on the Third or Pink Ray which is the Ray of Love. who serves on the Fourth or White Ray which is the Ray of Harmony and Purity. who serves on the Fifth Ray or Green Ray which is the Ray of Healing and Truth. who serves on the Sixth Ray or Gold Ray which is the Ray of Peace. who serves on the Seventh Ray or Violet Ray which is the Ray of Freedom. We can call on Archangel Michael when we are afraid of moving forward, or we are feeling lost and require guidance. His ray of protection and power assists us to face situations that can be considered overwhelming or when you are afraid of moving forward. Archangel Michael also offers assistance with his sword that he carries at his side. You can ask him for assistance to cut ties with people that are negative and draining. When a relationship is no longer good for you and you need to move forward, Archangel Michael’s sword will sever the links to that bind you to that

relationship. Also it can be used to cut the links to situations that are best left in the past. Archangel Jophiel’s ray can be used when you need assistance with knowledge or inspiration. It is useful if you are doing exams to help focus your mind to recall information. In times of confusion Archangel Jophiel will offer wisdom and clarification. Archangel Chamuel’s ray is the pink ray of love. It will assist you with all areas of love, especially with love of self. Once you feel comfortable with loving yourself, and accepting all that you are, you will find that the love you feel, radiates out to those around you. This in turn will attract more loving, gentle people to you. Archangel Gabriel will assist you with your spiritual path. The beautiful ray of white ray of purity and harmony will assist you in your work with the light, helping you to work on your true spiritual path and in the assistance of others. Archangel Raphael uses the green ray of healing and truth. This ray can be used for healing yourself or for healing others. It can also be used to heal wild animals or family pets. If you are doing past life healing it can help to smooth over the troubles you have brought into this lifetime with you. Archangel Uriel’s gold ray of peace and harmony can be used to bring peace into your life, but also on a much larger scale, it can be used to encourage peace and harmony throughout the world. It is also the ray that would be used to help the world heal after a natural disaster had occurred or indeed to stop one from occurring.

I have been reading the Tarot for the major part of my adult life, at least the last 23 years or so, and I am happiest when I am reading for a client, when I can see that I have in some small or large way helped them to cope with their perceived problems. My journey in this life is to be of assistance to others and to help them grow & learn, this in turn allows me to help myself in the same way. I am lucky to have some amazing Guides of my own, both in the Spirit world and here on Earth. With the wisdom of others & the ability to filter out the things I need and the things that do not serve me, I have seen big progress in my Spiritual journey and have gained acceptance of the things in my life that have been sent to try me. My other passion is healing. I am a Usui Reiki Master but also have studied, and been attuned to many other healing modalities. When healing, I think it is important to work on every part of the problem, the ethereal, the physical and the emotional; all play a part in manifesting disease in the body. With the use of the Reiki energy this is achieved. With Tarot and Reiki, I feel I have wonderful tools to assist and ease the burdens of others. I am excited to be part of this magazine, because it is a platform for many wonderful points of view and also for learning and sharing. Blessed Be www.psychicstella.com

Archangel Zadkiel can assist you in bringing the joy of freedom into your life, he will help release you from negativity and bring forgiveness and justice into your life. This freedom will bring you more firmly onto your spiritual path, and give you the freedom to take up opportunities as they present to you.

I am a Holistic Therapist and Reiki Master specialising in a romatherapy massage, Reiki treatments and courses as well as Angel g uidance readings. Originally from Zimbabwe, I moved to the UK ten years ago in search of something new and to gain some life experience. I come from a very Spiritual family and I have communicated with Angels and Spirits since I was four years old. I started doing Angel readings for friends and family at the age of fourteen and after years of growth & learning, I now do distance and face to face readings for people all over the world with the help of my Guardian Angel, Archangel Michael. In order to continue helping others, I studied holistic therapies in my spare time to increase my knowledge and Spiritual awareness. After working in a very stressful, corporate environment, I decided to leave my job to follow my heart and start practising holistic therapies full time. My main aim in life is to make a positive difference in the world by helping others to find inner peace through relaxation and guidance from the Angels. We all spend too much time worrying and I believe that sometimes all we need to do is stop, ask the Universe for help and then trust its guidance. I love to share my experiences with others and I am always fascinated to hear their stories too, as this is how we all learn and grow. www.angelicwhispers.net

I have a friend who is kind and generous of Spirit. She is the person who will see somebody random in the shopping centre, who is struggling with their load, and she will offer to assist them. She is the person who will see somebody stumble and run to their aid. On numerous occasions I have seen her take time out of the things she is doing to drive people to their homes because it is too warm for them outside or because they have come over faint. She does not realise what a special person she is, and she does not look for any kind of praise or Thanks in the things that she does for others. I think it is important to let her know that she is appreciated, and whilst it may not be a huge thing to her it is a great big wonder to the people that she assists.

Having your children engage with Angels on a daily or weekly basis will help them familiarize themselves with their Guardian Angel and Archangels. One of the best ways to engage your children is having them write a letter to their Angels. The letter can be a letter of gratitude, a prayer letter or it can be a request to help them with something going on in their life. There is no formal way to write the letter so have your children write any way they are guided to. You can have an Angel box in your home where your children can place the letter so there is a safe and private place for the letters. Have some fun with your children and have them decorate their Angel box; spend an evening or afternoon with some craft supplies and have them express themselves while creating their Angel box. Having your child express their individuality is a great way to open up their creativity and their connection with Angels. As your children write their letters to the Angels it is also important to teach them about each Archangel and how they can help them in their daily life. is a big and powerful protector and is responsible for keeping everyone safe.

his story is about my journey on my spiritual path, a path that I sometimes tried to avoid, but that I was swiftly, one way or the other, brought back to relentlessly. I have always had a interest in spiritual matters and been fascinated by the reality that there is a life after physical death, that souls carry on and can return to confirm that they are well and very much alive in a different sense. As a teen, I pursued knowledge of Ghosties and Ghouls. I devoured stories of spirit sightings and mediums or all kinds. I would attend my local Spiritual Church on a Sunday night and whilst I was not a ‘religious’ person, I did love the platform medium every week, and the healing that occurred after the service. In my twenties I bought my first deck of Tarot cards and proceeded to try to ‘read’ them. This was a disaster, the cards were not for me, and I could not make sense of anything, even with the help of the book that came with them. If nothing else, I am persistent, and after the purchase of about 5 or 6 different decks of cards, I finally found one that I fell instantly in love with, the cards that I still use today, ‘The Mythic Tarot’. The story of the deck is based on Greek Mythology and they have lovely pictures on each of the cards. My real journey had begun….. I also became a Reiki Master in the year 2004. Once I was proficient in giving useful information with a card reading, Spirit made sure I would follow this path and put me in a position to be of assistance to others with my readings. I actually had gone to a new age shop to see if they were looking for a healer, only to be told that they were not, however they did need a reader. I was with my Sister in law, who

departed from my mind, I had my children to bring up, my hubby was running his own business and I would do his bookwork and my job to keep me busy. In order to get up the mountain, I needed to drive up a very steep and windy road, with hairpin bends and long drops at the side of the road. I would travel this road way too fast, feeling as if I were familiar enough with the curves in the road for safety at great speed. One day I was on my way up the mountain and I glanced at one point over the edge of the cliff as I drove past and suddenly into my head came a picture of me in my car rolling down the face of the cliff. I remember thinking at the time “ ” and then carrying on up the hill with a shudder I thought nothing more of it. It was approximately two or three weeks later that I was on my way to work up the mountain again. It had been raining lightly that morning and there were a lot of leaves on the wet road. Today, because of the weather and road conditions, I was driving very sensibly, keeping to the speed limits as I took my journey up the hill. I rounded a sharp corner that then went straight into another corner in the opposite direction, as I finished turning into the first corner and started to turn my steering wheel in the other direction, the back of my car did not follow and continued to swing out and steer me towards the cliff face at about 60km / hour. At this point I have to admit, I did panic and I pushed my foot on the brake, although to this day I am not sure, but can only think that I hit the accelerator instead of the brake as that wall of rock seemed to be coming at me at great speed. I turned my steering wheel fiercely in the other direction and suddenly I was moving away from the rock face. However, over-steer would be a slight understatement at this point, and my car did a complete 180 degree turn and was now facing down the hill instead of up the hill and worse to come, the bonnet and

It is not your time you will be alright, just hold on! suddenly said to the shop owner that “ ” Well, there I was on the spot and as nervous as anything, but figuring that this was meant to be, so I had better take the opportunity whilst it was there. I stayed at the shop for a number of years giving readings and getting to know some of the spiritual community that was local to me. I loved my new job, I felt useful and I loved the interaction with lots of different people. At one stage, life got in the way and I needed to go and get a job that would pay regular money to help pay the bills and not just the sporadic money that came with readings. My other love in this world is cooking, and I took a position of a cook in a little café that used to be up Mount Tambourine in Queensland, Australia. The building is still there today, but it is a different place now, the original owners have moved on and retired. I also found that I loved this job, it was hot and hectic and stressful but I loved it, I was feeding the masses from a little tiny, ill equipped kitchen in a very old building but I was in my element. So busy was I, that all thoughts of my spiritual journey had

front drivers wheel were nearly going over the edge of the cliff, still at great speed. I remember at this point having a flashback to the incident a couple of weeks before where I had seen my car down the cliff face and the sudden realisation that it has been a premonition closely followed by an expletive and then talking to whoever would be listening and saying that my work was not done yet, my children still needed me, my husband would miss me and that I was not ready to pass! Yes your life really does flash before your eyes in the moments before you prepare to die. The front of the car started to tip and yet I felt suddenly calm, all panic was gone and a beautiful feeling of serenity came over me, a voice in my head with the picture of a beautiful soul came to me and the voice said, “ ” Well, who was I to argue with such a comforting and authoritive voice and feeling. I grabbed the steering wheel as firmly as I could with my arms straight and my feet pushed to the floor with my legs straight and my body pushed as far into the car seat as was humanly possible and I braced as the car took the first roll. The car and I rolled about 5 times down that hill, and at one stage I remember something hitting my head very hard and thinking that if that did not kill me nothing would! The car suddenly stopped abruptly, engine still running. I turned it off and removed the keys, confirmed with myself that I was not moving anymore and proceeded to try to get myself out of the car. Well the driver’s door was jammed by a tree so I had to climb over the seats to get out of the passenger door. I managed this and looked up, I had rolled down at least 20 meters of almost sheer rock face and the car was wedged now between some huge rocks and some trees. There were people at the top, on the road, who had seen the accident and they called the ambulance and stayed with me. I was very lucky that day. My Angel was with me and reassured me to not panic but to hold on, I am not sure how I would have reacted without that comfort but I am glad that I had the protection and assistance from such a beautiful being. Since that day, I have gone back to giving readings for people and doing healings, because I have been left with a chronic condition myself, fibromyalgia. I am not able to do any other form of work because my body is not able to sustain anything for too long. I walked away from the accident with whiplash and nothing else, unfortunately the accident is probably what triggered the fibromyalgia, but whilst I do suffer at times, I do not feel ‘ ’. I embrace the knowledge that Spirit and the Angels wanted me to come back to assisting others with beautiful connections and validation from them to their loved ones here on Earth. I have learnt a lot from having a chronic pain condition, I have more compassion for others, and an understanding of mood swings and a multitude of different conditions that people have to go through in their daily lives, and I feel in the long run that it has made me a better person, and definitely a better reader, and much more understanding and compassionate of others. Today, I do readings wherever I possibly can and I also give healings and teach Reiki to others. Of course my most recent venture is being part of this magazine and I feel blessed to have so many other people involved in the venture with Mandy, Joanne and Myself, bringing knowledge to all of our beautiful readers. Life is a journey of discovery but it is also a journey of teaching, once you discover something wonderful, it is only right to shine that beautiful light on to others and to share the blessing. I have been and I still am truly blessed in my life. © Stella Ware

More than 4,000 years ago, the people of the Neolithic period decided to build a massive monument using earth, timber and eventually, stones, placing it high on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, about 137 kilometres southwest of London. Why anyone ever decided to build Stonehenge remains a mystery, with theories ranging from religion to astronomy. Some of what was Stonehenge still stands today, as mysterious and sacred as it must have been to the hundreds of people who helped build the site. The stones of the main monument appear to form layers of circles and horseshoe patterns that slowly enclose the site. First, there is an outer stone circle, now mostly in ruin. Within this are a smaller set of stones, also set in a circle. Within the centre of the monument are trilithons -- two pillar stones with one stone on top -- in the shape of a horseshoe. Within this is another smaller set of stones, also in a horseshoe. It is a monument made of more than just rocks. There is the henge, or a ditch and bank, that surrounds the stone circle. There is also a laneway that extends from the northeast side of the monument from the open horseshoe to the River Avon, a few kilometres away. Several stones mark this laneway, just outside the henge of the monument. Jutting out from the green landscape of the English countryside, the circles of stones and outlying monuments emit a power that must have been ingrained in the site itself. But it is a magnetism that can't be explained by architecture alone. Much of Stonehenge's intrigue stems from the fact that the stones are so shrouded in mystery, a characteristic that is magnified by its age. Stonehenge was constructed in three phases, over a 2,000 year period between 3000 BCE and 1400 BCE. Erosion, time and human invasion has worn it down, leaving many of the stones in stumps similar to a set of baby teeth. Although the site may not be as majestic as it once was, it still conveys a sense of power that seems to enclose people in its mystery, allowing no one to escape from the riddle of its purpose. Today, there is enough left of Stonehenge to speculate on its purpose, but not enough to say for sure why or how it was constructed. Astronomers, archaeologists and historians continue to debate theories on its construction and purpose, but the only thing that can be said for certain is a description of what still exists today. On the outside of the main monument is a circle of 17 sarsen stones, or sandstones, left from a set of about 30. These rocks stand four metres high and weigh about 25 tonnes each. Some of them still retain their lintels, which would have been secured in a type of tongue-and-groove slot. Within this is a larger sarsen stone horseshoe in the middle of the monument. There are remnants of what would have been five sets of two stones with a lintel on top -- called a trilithon after the Greek word for three stones. The tallest of these upright sarsen stones is about 7 metres tall with lintel, acting as a reminder that the word sarsen comes from " ", meaning heathenish, foreign and vaguely satanic. Some of the most interesting theories still being generated about Stonehenge have to do with the

bluestones, the small rocks set in a circle between the sarsen stone circle and sarsen stone horseshoe. Originally, there may have been as many as 60, but only a few stand today, two of which are believed to be lintels. A bluestone horseshoe can also be found within the large sarsen stone horseshoe, which would have originally been made up of 19 stones. Again, few of these are left. The stones were placed in such a way that they increased in size towards the centre and alternated in shape between tall, thin pillar-like stones and stones of a tapering obelisk shape. These bluestones, now severely weathered and covered in lichen, may not appear blue but if freshly broken, most would have a slaty-blue colour. There are five colour variations represented in the bluestones found at Stonehenge. Some contain crystals that have given them a different shade when broken, such as the spotted dolerite, named for its pink crystals, which emits a pinkish hue. Within the bluestone horseshoe is the Altar stone -- a blue-grey stone from the shores of Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire. It may have once stood upright but now lays underneath one of the great sarsen trilithons, and is about five metres long. Many other stones, of more historical and astronomical importance, also mark the site. One of the most intriguing is the "Heel stone." It stands along a laneway, known as the Avenue, that extends from the open horseshoe, on the northeast corner of the monument and down toward the River Avon, two kilometres away. Along the Avenue, closer to the stone circles, is the "Slaughter Stone" that may have once been part of a pair of stones, forming a gate to the main monument. Shaped around the stone circles are two pillar stones, known as the "Station Stones." Originally there would have been four, placed in the shape of a rectangle. A bank-and-ditch, or the henge of the monument, circles the main monument at about 91 metres in diameter. On the inside boundary of the henge are 56 pits, known as "Aubrey Holes" that can barely be seen. Closer to the stone circles are two other sets of pits, called "Z" and "Y" holes. These were the last additions to the monument and may have been carved out to accommodate more bluestones, but now lay empty. All of the stones were brought far distances to Salisbury Plain, using only muscle and primitive tools, like ropes and wooden levers. The sarsen stones are believed to have been brought from Marlborough Downs, 30 kilometres to the north of Stonehenge, which is a feat incomparable by today's standards. But even more intriguing than this is the mystery of the bluestones. They are believed to have come from the Preseli Mountains in southwest Wales, nearly 385 kilometres away. How these stones, each weighing four tonnes, arrived at Stonehenge is still debated. But regardless of how they came to the site, it appears to have required much effort in a time before the invention of the wheel. Clearly, a lot of trouble was taken by the builders to put those things up -- and some of the stones were brought from a long way away, Which also, incidentally, signifies how important that spot on Salisbury Plain must be if they went to all that trouble to get those stones to that particular place. It's not the stones that make it sacred. It's the spot

It's not the stones that make it sacred. It's the spot that's already sacred, or holy, and then the stones are built.

that's already sacred, or holy, and then the stones are built. DRUIDS

druids, were found camping illegally and digging latrines in the landscape. Yet, they are allowed to worship a few days later on midsummer's day. There are 36 Druid groups in England alone. It's practiced by several faiths, ranging from Catholics to Jews and encompasses a wide scope of people, from office workers to ecomagicians. All this diversity is made possible by the fact that Druidry is so diverse. Its possible to believe in any Gods, many Gods, one God or no God and still be a Druid.

Druidry, an Earth-based ancestor religion, has been linked with Stonehenge for hundreds of years. The core of this spiritual philosophy lies in the quest for inspiration or Awen, meaning "the flowing spirit," that brings many to worship at stone circles like Stonehenge. But what is the origin of the bond between Druid and this stone monument? John Aubrey, a 17th century British antiquary, was the first to suggest that the Druids were the ones who built Stonehenge -- a theory which has since been discounted. Many experts believe Druids came from a Celtic religion not present in England until 2,000 years after Stonehenge was built, and maybe already in ruin. But others would IRecently, scientists have raised disagree. It is equally possible that Celtic culture found the possibility that during the Druidry already existing in Britain when it arrived. In last ice age glaciers carried which case, [Druidry] could well have derived from the these bluestones closer to the people who built Stonehenge area and the Stonehenge and other stone monuments. monument’s makers didn’t have A historically provable link between druids and to move them all the way Stonehenge goes back to the early part of the 1900's. It can from Wales. be found in a photograph of a large Druiditic gathering held at the stone monument where the people claimed to have rites of worship there that may have gone back many more years. Some of the modern-day druids make eight pilgrimages to Stonehenge a year to celebrate the turning of the year and the changing seasons. However, not all druids worship at Stonehenge. Some would rather practice on a hilltop rather than at a human constructed site. In part, it's a way of getting back to a relationship with the Earth that most people in industrial societies have lost. However, most Druids have been banned from worshipping at Stonehenge during the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. Authorities suppressed the festival in 1978 after people, not necessarily

PETER WAKE

I first picked up a pack of Tarot cards back in 1978 but after trying to use them gave it up as a bad job, it wasn’t until 1981 that the interest sparked again and this time it was the cards that I saw being used that intrigued me, I bought some and since then have used the same deck of cards for nearly every reading (yes I still use them, dog eared and worn but cherished and loved). I learnt the cards the correct way and have since done hundreds of readings, online, by email, face to face and in groups of up to 11 people, but over the last 10 years I have been using a more intuitive approach and very rarely use the traditional meanings for the cards, giving a more in depth reading and insights which would otherwise been passed by. I’m not a great one for titles but ‘Psychic Clairvoyant’ probably describes what I do ‘Psychic’ because most intuitive readings are just that ….psychic and ‘Clairvoyant’ which actually means ‘to see’ because that’s how i get a lot of my insights, with visions. I went on to train in mediumship and have worked as a Medium and done everything from working on platform to investigations. Have also trained as Reiki healer and I now teach t arot as well as psychic development workshops. http://www.psychicvisions.org

Well here we are coming up to the Summer Solstice, and enjoying an issue of Cheeky Angels which is putting focus on this festival. When I was asked if I wanted to write something in line with the Solstice theme, I had a little think and became inspired by the landscape around me and thought I would share it with you. When we think of Solstice days and special times of the year, we envision gatherings, celebrations and times of festivities at communal sites, held sacred by many due to their longstanding beauty, mystery and the awe they inspire, namely standing stones and stone circles for us in the UK. Fortunately for me, I live in the centre of Aberdeenshire in Scotland, and a landscape littered with stone circles, 99 on record! Our stone circles are know as recumbent stone circles and are particular as they are only found in this area of Scotland and South West Ireland respectively. A recumbent circle always has a large slab, laid recumbent (reclined, horizontal) and levelled, with tall, flanking stones at either side. To any who sees them, this organisation of stones creates the appearance of a mighty alter, a platform, or for some a representation of the horizon - to view the major standstill moon in the southern sky, occurring every 18 & half years. Though we cannot know for sure just exactly what the purpose of such circles were for, in researching the recumbent circles of the North East, I discovered a few things: 1) that they are often found in good farmland, 2) they are usually near hilltops 3) specially selected stones such as red jasper for example would be transported from a good distance to form part of the circles and 4) many are clustered round the hill range know as Bennac hie. What, for me at

least, becomes interesting is that Bennachie translates from the Gaelic for ‘hill of the breast’, and is believed to have held a religious significance to the Bronze Age inhabitants, those thought to have painstakingly built the circles, who lived in the shadow of this mountain form of fertility and farmed its land. For me, while visiting the stone circle known as Easter Aquhorthies,by Inverurie (believed by some to mean field of prayers) my mind’s eye could clearly vision the gathering of the fruits of labour and a sharing, celebration of thanks in the sight of the ‘Mither Tap’(mother top/tap) of Bennachie, a reverence of mother nature. Amongst the stones, wonders the shadows of the past and faint dreamy images of those giving praise, seeking solitude and harmony in times of unrest, and the apprehensions of a good harvest. In contrast to the peace and comfort of one circle can lay the sadness of another, as the times changed, though some circles remained as they ever were, others became the burial sites, monuments of a communities grief and battered by the passage of time. At the circle called Loanhead of Daviot, in Daviot, we are confronted with, a broken flanking stone; cleaved recumbent stone, the remnants of cairns (stone plies containing burial remains) and a low walled cremation cemetery, where over 30 cremated humans were excavated. I could feel the tightness in my chest in this unsettled space and the wisps of mourners sombrely walking through, and was compelled to say a prayer to bring light to the dark and love to the silence of the long forgotten. Though it may always remain unclear as to their precise beginnings and purpose, a spiritual significance and value for many will always be placed upon these sites across the UK, some thankfully better preserves than others. We will individually create of these places what we so wish them to mean and take from them the constant chance of reflection. For as long as they continue to inspire our minds to the magic and mystery of life, awaken our internal ancestral memories, and turn our hearts toward community and the desire to recognise working with cycles of nature and the earth- the same earth, that landscape of those very early settlers, which continues to support and sustain our lives and livelihoods to this very day, we will be driven to convene upon them in joy and celebration.

IMAGES COPYRIGHT: WIKIPEDIA In a world of endless light and brightness, it might seem quaint and archaic to pay much attention to solar (sun-related) cycles. After all, electrical lighting has been a way of life for us for a long time, providing us with flip-of-a-switch levels of light that used to be the sole preserve of the sun. And yet, ancient traditions, symbols and subtle planetary energy shifts continue to play an important, albeit often secret, or hidden role in our modern lives. Look at what happened to the Winter Solstice. Celebrated with great reverence and revelry for thousands of years in the Northern Hemisphere; it has merged— some would say morphed-- into the celebration of the Son (Sun) of God’s birthday, more popularly known as Christmas. Ask modern retailers how important Christmas is to them. The Summer Solstice is the time when the sun reaches its farthest point north of the equator. This year’s Summer Solstice will take place on June 21. The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year; the day when the sun’s energy is strongest. Within 24 hours of the Summer Solstice, the sun’s energy begins to weaken, however, and the days begin to grow shorter and darker until the Winter Solstice around December 20 or December 21, at which time the sun’s energy is “reborn” and begins to increase in strength daily as the days lengthen for the next six months. The cycle of the physical sun’s birth and death is just one of the cycles and associations that is linked to the solstices. The word solstice comes from the Latin word solstitium, derived from sol (sun) and stitium (to stop). There is a tradition that began early in Christianity and that continues mostly in esoteric philosophies today that depicts Christ as the Spiritual Sun, the illuminator of the soul, the light of God, the source of order, and the giver of life. According to this tradition, the Summer Solstice corresponds to the death of Jesus, just as the Winter Solstice corresponds to the birth of Jesus. The human life cycle of birth, youth, maturity, old age and death has been correlated with the sun’s daily cycle. The sun rises in the east (the

direction the wise men came from to honor Jesus at his birth) and symbolizes human birth. It moves clockwise to the south, which represents human maturity/adult phase and then proceeds to the west, where it sets, and represents human aging and death. This is the part of the human life cycle that correlates to the Summer Solstice. The north represents the darkness of the womb during the nine months of gestation prior to the physical birth of a human being. Midsummer is considered to be the time on or around the Summer Solstice (June 21 through June 24) that has a rich European history of customs and celebrations, both Christian and pre-Christian (Pagan). Midsummer is especially important in Scandinavia, Finland and the Baltics, where it is the most important holy day/holiday other than Christmas. One of the best known of these Midsummer celebrations in the Christian era is the June 24 celebration of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist. It is actually a public holiday in Quebec and is a high ranking liturgical feast in the Roman Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran traditions. St. John’s day is also one of the two most important days celebrated in the Masonic traditions of Freemasonry. In some parts of the world, St. John’s Eve fires are burned on June 24. These have obvious links with Pagan Midsummer celebrations. Summer Solstice and Midsummer folklore and folk traditions abound. I share just one of them in this article. One of the names given to the moon of Midsummer (which always falls in June) is the Honey Moon. This is because at that time of year in Europe, beehives were bursting with honey, which was gathered and fermented to create an alcoholic beverage called mead. Mead was the beverage of choice for wedding parties and was rumored to be an aphrodisiac.

Pearls, known for their beauty, are associated with the Moon. The best pearls are said to have a shiny moonlike quality, with perfect roundness and a luster that is reminiscent of a moonlit night. They are also powerful healers. They are known to be good for the nerves and the adrenal glands, the spleen, the muscular system, as well as the digestive process. They are also used to reduce fevers and aid with headaches and to strengthen the eyes. Pearls are traditionally representative of innocence and purity, wisdom, strength, faith and integrity and are considered a perfect wedding accessory for a bride. They are the traditional gift for a 3rd and 30th wedding anniversary. The greatest attribute of the pearl is said to be fertility, which coincides with the oyster being known as an aphrodisiac. It takes many years for the pearl oyster to make just one pearl of reasonable size and this takes patience, delicacy and care, which is said to represent the time, patience and care that it takes to raise a child, from a tiny baby into adulthood. When choosing your pearl it is important to make sure the pearl is perfect, as it is said, to wear a pearl that is not perfect will bring misfortune and bad luck, resulting in anything from ill health to loss of finance however if your pearl is perfect with a beautiful luster and smooth round appearance it will bring you good fortune and abundance and everything from good health to fame and fortune.

Gemini’s personality is very similar to the symbol and that is the duality of their behaviour. Gemini’s see both sides of the argument and therefore are very logical in their thinking as they always weigh up both sides of the situation. At the same time though due to the ying and yang of Gemini’s there is also contradiction in their logical thinking. Communication is important with Gemini’s as it aids in the logical process and they trust their instincts as they use the communication to their advantage. On top of this Gemini’s also have to cope with the change in mood from one minute to the next. It goes in hand with the duality of their personality. Of course, don’t forget that you will never be able to predict what a Gemini is going to do next! Interestingly the Gemini Constellation was actually the twin brothers Castor and Pollux according to Greek & Roman mythology. According to Greek and Roman mythology, Castor and Pollux’s mother was called Leda, but Castor was the mortal Son of Tyndareus, King of Sparta, and Pollux the divine Son of Zeus. According to legend Zeus (Father of the God’s and God of Sky & Thunder) seduced or raped Leda in the guise of a swan. Though accounts of their birth are varied, they are sometimes said to have been born from an egg, along with their twin sisters Helen of Troy (also known as Aphrodite) and Clytemnestra. Legend also states that when Castor was killed, Pollux (who is immortal) asked his father, Zeus to let him share his immortality with his twin in order to keep them together. This was granted and they were transformed into the constellation Gemini. Gemini’s are Air signs and star signs who have this element often appear detached, aloof, remote, cool. They are also very flexible. Air signs are also excellent communicators, storytellers, interpreters and journalists. Gemini in love - They can be very fickle since their partner would need to keep them intellectually curious and be a little unconventional, or have many interests to share with them. Traditionally, they often go through many relationships/marriages because of their inability to settle down. Not 100� of the case, but noticeable.

Using the Enchanted Map Oracle Cards (Colette Baron-Reid), Cheeky Angels are really excited to provide you with your Horoscopes for June 2013. The are not the same as you would normally expect, they are more about guidance than fortune telling but we hope that they will help you with what is going on this month. So, Joanne has prepared these Horoscopes for you and would love to hear your feedback!

Hold on tight this month as it is not going to be a particularly easy month but you have been through a lot lately so this will not come as a surprise. It is not going to be has hard as what you have been through so that is a blessing and because you have learnt the lessons from the past it means that you are able to just keep pushing through it as you always do. Remember though that you are a highly intelligent person who can use their communication skills to their advantage and this month is no different. Be subtle though - I know it is not Aries style but why don’t you try change for a change!!!

This month you will start to make progress on projects that have been laying dormant for so long. Something will trigger a string of reactions to take place - you will start to see things coming to life that you never thought you would see but with patience and persistence and bit of that Taurus personality you will get there. Hard work really does pay off!

Well it’s going to be a bit of a funny month this month in the fact that there are going to be a lot of unexpected things happening but it is all part of a new beginning. There will be people coming into your life that you didn’t expect that would help you and in quite unusual circumstances. There is no predictabilityMay 21 June 20 this month but don’t go looking for it either! It’s going to be a bit like Alice in Wonderland this month so if things are a bit weird, don’t freak out it is just the Universe working in it’s own unique way!

Do you know the Shaman song: ‘I can move, move any mountain’? Well this month you will be moving a lot of the mountains that have been in your way. You might have to take some of them with you for a while but you have taken the brave step of not letting things get to you any more. It is all about truth and justice this month - you will be seeing things that you haven’t seen before or haven’t wanted to but we all get to our tipping points and this month will make you look at things with a different perspective.

Set your intention this month and ask the Universe for what you want remember not to be gready! The Universe is listening to you this month and you need to trust that it is true. I know you ask and you think she isn’t listening but you need to trust and be positive. Positive attracts positive and you believe then you will start seeing results. Remember when the Universe works her magic that you thank her for it!!

We all have our dreams and daydreams but who says that they are only dreams? This month why don’t you try to turn one of those dreams into reality - after all you are half way there already you just need a little push to get the ball rolling. It is only fear that is holding you back, and that is only because it is new territory for you and you are not sure where to go with it but do you always want that nagging voice in your head? There’s only one way to get rid of it…..

Yes, there are always people who don’t want you to succeed. This month you will have your fair few of this but as long as you recognise that they are only there to put blocks in your way. See these people as learning curves, see them as opportunities to stand up for yourself and that you are obviously doing something right if people want to hinder your path. You know the people that I am talking about already and that is half the battle won!

This month sees the beginning of a new venture for you. It’s not necessarily a new business venture but it may just be a new path or opportunity being opened. Even when you are on a path, the Universe waves it’s magical wand and sets a course for a different path. Remember though that is all about balance - balance between yourself and what you want to do. Keep the emotions calm as it will be a little bumpy to start with.

Ok, well you may see things being put on hold this month. You have had such a busy first half the year, June is the month that you are told to calm down! You’ve run out of batteries and need to sleep - it’s a bit like Narnia and going through the wardrobe. While you are in a different world, as it is going to seem alien, you will battle some battles that you didn’t think were there and will make you stronger for it as well as making new friends in the process or networking will work for you. Enjoy your time off this month!

This month you will see you feeling like you are juggling all sorts and more than normal. Your emotions may get the better of you but try to not let that happen. Know this month that it is going to be of a roller coaster with you not really having a moments peace. It’s all in the planning this month - be prepared and have back up plans in place and it shouldn’t be as difficult as you imagine it could be!

Do you feel as if you need a bit of spring clean at the moment? Well this month you will be and it might just be throwing out things in the house that no longer have a purpose or a negative energy attached to them, it may also be to do with friends that you realise are not actually there for you or of course it is just a spring clean of yourself and you have decided that for once you are not going to hold onto the past, or the negative energy you have built up and it is time for you to feel good about yourself!!!

This month it is all about home. It is your time for you to actually sit back and enjoy home life rather than running about here there and everywhere. You forget about the beauty of sitting at home with your feet up on the sofa, or sitting out in the garden and just enjoying spending time in the surroundings of what you have built up. You forget that you have built this up and have succeeded when you feel that you have not moved anywhere - look at how far you have moved forward.

GLORIA WHITAKER Astrologer

Luna. She’s the original night duty nurse. She’s the original stereotypical female. She’s the one heavenly body that can drive humans to madness. She’s the original nurturing Goddess of our emotions and the guardian of our feelings, too. She’s the high galactic representative of the Feminine. Stone cold, she reflects ever moving energy and time and position in the 360 degrees of the Zodiac. Yet, we need her constant motion and nightly reassurance that the cycles of the Cosmos haven’t gone awry. She is to the Sun what Yin is to Yang. She changes her mind about every two to two and a half days, thank-you. Singer Billy Joel may have mentioning the Moon when he did “ ”. One thing for sure, the Moon has a way of keeping our emotions and romantic notions in a constant flow. Often, we tune into the Sun’s position in the Zodiac throughout the month. It’s a fairly common practice now to know if the Sun is in Aries or Virgo. We also know what sun sign we are and a few basic descriptors about ourselves and our egos. We are more clueless, though, on what or who guides our inner world. Sometimes our emotions are smooth and happy go lucky and other times deep, dark, and thunderous. We can coo over a new puppy or kitten or call down the Gods to punish someone or something that has crossed our sensibilities. Blame the emotional pendulum swings on the Moon and her ever changing reflections of energy. She rules our own personal sea of subjective reaction. It’s beneficial to know your own moon energy that you were blessed with at your birth. It’s also beneficial to know what energy the Moon is amplifying each day. When you know this, it helps to explain why those around you are acting or reacting a certain way. It helps you to understand why something you rarely focus on has your attention. Can’t understand why your mate is loving one day and then cools off? The Moon has a lot to do with that. Do you sometimes look forward to an event and when the day arrives, you don’t want to be bothered? Most likely since the Moon has changed signs and positions, your emotional responses to the event aren’t the same. The elemental influence isn’t the same as it was before. She’s not in the same zodiac sign as she was two days

before. No wonder she is called fickle, capricious, and inconsistent. Nothing stays the same! As Luna wends her way through the month her pattern of elemental and zodical reflection is the same, though. Fire. Earth. Air. Water. Fire. Earth. Air. Water. Fire. Earth... Each sign and element brings it’s own individual energetic flavour to the Moon. She only reflects it. An easy way to know what the emotional weather of a day is going to be is to know what sign and what element the Moon is currently in and what she will be highlighting. Here is a quick primer to follow. These moon times always emphasize ambition, movement, spontaneous action, and friendly interaction. It’s a time to get things initiated. The ego loves fire moon times as the energies assist in putting us out there in front of the world. We feel warmer, friendlier, and more able to take charge. It’s a good time to set intentions and to get others on board for projects. These moons are noted more for their passionate yet somewhat divided romantic traits. Yeah, fire ruled moons get romance, they just don’t dwell on it totally because there’s so many other exciting things to do, too! It’s best to just throw a little adoration around when the Moon is in a Fire sign. The “ ” game works well here.

If you know your Twelve Universal Laws, you know that all things must come into balance. The law holds true to the Moon, too. After the combustable initiation of a Fire Moon the balance comes into play through an Earth ruled one. Earth Moon times tend to make our emotional responses more cautious and with an eye on the bottom line. Earth Moons can get the mood serious because they want to know if things will really work out and if security, especially financial security, will be a result. Critical assessment, steady movement, and restrained reactions are signatures of Earth Moons. Romance takes on a practical cast. Roses and kisses are fine, but will they really lead to something lasting? Save the mushy stuff for the Water moons. A great kiss and a fat wallet works during this lunar time.

I first became interested in Astrology as a teen. It fascinated me that there was this ancient body of knowledge and belief system that had survived the ages. Even after I completed my University education and worked as an educator by profession I knew that one day I would be help and coaching others using Astrology. In the 1990’s my own counseling astrologer said I was ready to learn the art of constructing and reading charts. It opened a fabulous new world for me. I’ve never looked back. I’ve always been attracted to the various disciplines of metaphysics and have recently completed the Master’s Level of study from the Seasons in Avalon Witch School. I love working with stones, herbs, the elements, the Twelve Universal Laws, and other things to enrich my own life and those of my clients. My clients love the added information and take delight in knowing something that is a little different from their daily routines. When working with a client, I give personal astrological advice and we often complete a session with an oracle card reading or a mini lesson on using herbs and spices to make incense or using crystals to enhance their awareness and interaction with the Universe. My goal is to create awareness and to teach others about their own path and how to best work within their own heart’s knowledge and desires. I am the creator of the Facebook page, North of the Moon. Here I write daily notes on the Cosmic energy patterns. Since the moon is ever changing, I love to write about it and how her energies are affecting the day. With the rise in vibrations that many are experiencing I feel knowing about this feminine energy really helps to understand the underpinnings of the day. I go beyond the standard by delving into the daily psychology of the moon and planetary energies, transits and aspects. Anyone interested in a fun and personalized session can contact me on my Facebook page or 45moons@comcast.net

Tarot deck will enhance just about anything during this lunar time. Don’t forget to lock the door. Oh here we go. Air ruled Moons come along and scour out all the old stodgy and stubborn beliefs of Earth. Now our emotions are all spiffed up with adaptable harmony and too quick to stick energies. We’d rather chat about not so serious stuff and not get ourselves too tangled in matters of importance. Communication is in the spotlight whether it’s talking about the latest fad, or sweetly trying to get people to cooperate, or communing with UFOs. Romance takes on an academic quality. Intellectual curiosity is a turn on. Not known for emotional depth, when the Moon is in one of these signs, it’s best to balance out interactions with a healthy dose of talking about it. Or not. Its just too easy to skip along to the next subject. Listening to a Paranormal radio show while snuggled together will work.

Meditation is the best way to build a relatipnship with your Guides

At last. Water ruled Moons embody the unseen and the unspoken knowing of the soul. We’ve moved from the outermost emotional state of Fire to the innermost being of Water. We sense things when Luna is in a Water sign. We just know. We intuit and connect without technology. Water Moons highlight the action of merging through sentiment, nurturing, unending passion, and psychic communication from many realms. When we’re under the influence of a Water Moon sign, we’re not too interested, really, in the noise of the outside world. Romance becomes myopic. We only have eyes for the other. Rabindranath Tagore probably wrote his epic poem, “ ” under a Water ruled moon. Deep red velvet, a fabulous tray of wine and food put together by just the two of you, and a spread from the Lover’s

So it goes each month. The Moon’s movement is like the minute hand on the clock. It counts the moments of our emotional lives. It stirs up our passions and brings out our affectionate truths. Ms. Luna is our fairy godmother that tells us when to emote and when to hold back. She guides our inner connections to others throughout our lives. Tune into the Moon’s ever changing mood and you will gain a deepened sense of knowing. That’s not too bad of a skill to have during these intensified times.

Numerology is the science of numbers which is a simple accurate method of understanding others and us. Each person is born with certain abilities, talents and tendencies - the Date Of Birth will reveal the details. When used in conjunction with clairvoyance, psychic and other gifts it is a valuable tool enabling us to give assistance to those who seek help. People who understand the vibrational power of numbers will also understand their own strengths and weaknesses and those of others, and how best to take advantage of circumstances that will occur in their lives. Numerology will help reveal the life path of a soul from the cradle to mature adulthood.

JANET MARTIN

This issue is about the Summer Solstice which will be occurring in the Northern Hemisphere, while here in Australia in the Southern Hemisphere, we will be experiencing the opposite, the Winter Solstice! The word ‘Solstice’ derives from the Latin meaning ‘ . So for us here in Oz on June 21, it will mark the dark day of winter when the sun is lowest on the horizon and it is a moment when the Earth’s rhythms tell us to pause, to be present in the darkness and take stock of our lives. It is the great stillness before the Sun’s strength builds and days grow longer, a time to rest and reflect, in which new life can then eventually emerge from the darkness. Whether you are celebrating either the Summer or Winter Solstice, this will be the midpoint within this transformational year and a great opportunity to evaluate what the first six months have presented to you and how you have prevailed, how you have weathered the storms of ascension. Here are some thoughts you may like to ask yourself, to gain insight to the pieces of the puzzle we call our life: How have your expanded your sense of self, how have you learnt to deal with things differently, has the way you perceive things altered, how have you been able to integrate the new energies and light codes physically and spiritually, have you achieved any goals that you had set, are you where you had envisioned for yourself, what changes have occurred, have those changes been chosen or forced, have you found yourself in new circumstances or surrounded by different people and the list can go on and can be as diverse as we are, depending on what we are willing to question about our lives? Most importantly it is about when we take this time and the challenge to internally inquire, that it is done with courage and that you are being honest with yourself and based in the reality in which we live. Remembering that this is all about you and becoming more in accordance with your authentic self, not any scripted version from or for anyone else. It is completely up to you of the depths in which you want and can submerge yourself at this point in time, there is no right or wrong and there is no

judgement. Spiritual growth goes hand in hand with personal growth....as I see it; you can’t have one without the other. As we learn more about ourselves, as we peel away our outer layers, we open to our higher selves allowing us to connect to and follow our intuition and fine tune our inherent and natural abilities. Why is it important to take stock and especially at this auspicious and defining moment of the year?! It grants us a gateway and option to reset our course, appraise our experiences and our growth whilst we are gifted with the occasion to map out and set intentions of the manifestations we would like to foresee for the coming six months. It encourages us to take responsibility and accountability of our lives and reminds us that we have the absolute power to be the master creators’ of our lives! This brings us once again back to the pivotal time of Solstice and the opportunity to celebrate and rejoice in our lives, where we are and where we are headed! When we bring ourselves into awareness, it is a magical occurrence that unites us with each other, spirit, the Universal energies and Mother Earth in oneness.

I have always been a seeker and explorer of knowledge, mysteries, awareness, Spirit, consciousness of myself and others. Forever the student and the teacher! My life has revolved around my own Personal and Spiritual growth by healing myself through my own illnesses by natural remedies & therapies. Becoming a Reiki Master, within my many years volunteering &working in the Human & Community Services Sector. Counselling, supporting, teaching, working with children, adults & families or facilitating a Depression Support Group. As my motto that I live by suggests, I am barefoot and grounded in reality, going through life just as everyone else is, being honest, true and as authentic as I can be.....no fluff and stuff here!!! My greatest pleasure & passion is the empowerment of myself and helping others in the empowerment of themselves! I love to teach & reach people through experience with compassion and understanding. Allowing them to become creators and being responsible & accountable within their own lives. I was an ultra sensitive child Spiritually, emotionally and physically. I have now fully harnessed and attuned my Psychic & Medium abilities. Through this journey it has lead me to where I am now - living a peaceful and balanced life. I work full time in a Special School, as well as facilitating Meditation Groups and Readings at Crystal Harmony in Regents Park (Australia). I also Platform at Spiritual Churches as well as do cleansing and clearings of homes and work environments! I am contactable through Crystal Harmony on (07) 3800 7105, on Facebook and my website.

1 green Candle 1 bay leaf (dried) 1 piece of hematite Olive Oil for anointing the candle A paperclip to carve symbols into the candle 1 permanent Marker to write on the bay leaf 1 saucer

First write with the permanent marker the word ‘abundance’ onto the bay leaf. Place the leaf onto the saucer. Next wash your piece of hematite under running water to cleanse it, then holding the crystal up to your third eye close your eyes and visualise all forms of abundance being attracted and drawn to you by the hematite. Take a few minutes in your visualisation and when you are ready, place the hematite on the saucer with the bay leaf. You should now take your paperclip and pull it open enough that you can use the end of it to carve the word abundance into the candle. Next you will need to anoint your candle with the olive oil. As you wish to draw abundance toward you, you should start at the top of the candle and rub the oil in one direction down to the middle of the candle, then turn the candle over and do the same from the bottom of the candle to the middle of the candle. Now light the candle and allow a few drops of hot wax to drop onto the plate in order to stand the candle up in the hot wax. Once the candle is free standing, pick up your bay leaf and holding it on one end only allow it to catch light from the candle flame and then place it on the plate to continue to burn until it goes out on its own. Leave the candle alight to set your wish.

You are an amazingly wise person; you have intuition that encompasses the whole universe of knowledge. This knowledge is readily available to you upon request and especially through quiet meditation, and the more you call on this wonderful source of knowledge the more it becomes available at other times. Just a short 20 – 30 minute meditation every day or every other day is enough to get in touch with this glory box of knowledge. Meditation also helps to lower blood pressure, ease stress levels and assist with all round good general health. Intuition is the voice or the feeling that you have that tells you where you will find the random item that seems to have escaped your vision for the moment. Often intuition is mistakenly thought to be spirit contact, or angelic contact. But that is because we are insecure beings when it comes to the idea that we are powerful beyond our imagination, and that we might actually have the ability to take the information directly from the universal consciousness ourselves. However, We. Are. Just. That. Good!! Each of us is in essence a being of energy, energy that forms individual souls, but linked and connected to the whole mass of energy that IS the Universe. We are all joined and we are all one. Think of the cells in your body, each cell is individual but each cell is part of you, each cell knows its place in your body and each cell can act according to the needs of the whole body. This is how we are in relation to each other within the Universe. Each individual but each part of the same whole AND each of us has the ability to do what is right for the whole on an individual level and to seek knowledge from another individual part of the whole. Have you ever experienced déjà vu? Have you ever been to a place or experienced an event in complete surety that you have never been there or experienced that event previously, and yet it all seems so familiar to you? This could be the result of your higher self having shown you, subconsciously, the experience in a dream or meditation previously and yet consciously you cannot remember that event, so when you are actually going through the experience, that is why it seems to be familiar to you. When that happens, and it is not often that it does in most cases, then it is probably a very good idea to take a mental note of what is also occurring at the same time or what is around you that is perhaps relevant to another part of your life, and you may find that you answer some questions that have been bothering you, and your higher self (intuition) has given you this advance clue so that you are aware to take notice. There is often a mistaken idea that somebody who is a professional Medium / Clairvoyant / Psychic is somehow a’bove’ or ‘better’ than everybody else, and the professional can sometimes be raised up to a position of some type of ‘Guru’ with ‘followers’ who hang on their every word. It is important to remember that sometimes, professionals can also be unethical people, and that they can encourage this behaviour because it gives them a place in the limelight and some form of ‘star status’. These unethical professionals will lead you to believe that because they are in direct contact with the spirit world that they have information that you do not have access to, or that they have been told by spirit the correct and only way to do a particular thing, which is deceitful and disrespectful to you, as an individual part of the generous universe with unlimited knowledge at your disposal. You will find, when you get back to basics with any good spiritual teacher, that you will be told that the answers lay within YOU, yes YOU. A medium/clairvoyant/psychic can put you in touch with your loved ones who are in spirit and pass on messages from them to give you validation that life goes on even after physical death. This is not necessarily easy for everybody to do; however, given enough time, patience and practice most of us can achieve this in one way or another. First though, there is a need to find and get in touch with your higher self, and learn to trust the information that is passed over to you, then come

your guides, whom you can also meet through the practice of meditation and eventually, when you have enough confidence in yourself and have worked hard enough with your guides to accept the information given you may find you have reached a level of experience whereby you can make contact with your own loved ones as well as the loved ones of others who have passed on from this earth realm. If you achieve this connection, you will realise that where spirit are concerned, it is not important for them to tell you where to find your hidden remote control, or which shop to go to in order to purchase the DVD that has been sold out everywhere else, this kind of information is something that you obtain from your own intuition or higher self, even if that means that you subconsciously access your memory banks as to where you last saw that remote control!! Spirit would much rather pass on information to you that involves love and happiness, things that confirm that they are still around you and part of your everyday life. They will relay information as to how they like your new haircut, or that they saw you trying to change the car tire and that they were giggling at you as you got frustrated. If you are in a position of danger, you may get Angelic help without asking, you may find that you get a very clear verbal warning in your head, or you find yourself suddenly not standing in the same place as you were a second before when a heavy object comes crashing down that would have crushed you should you have still be standing there. This is how spirit interacts with us. In everything we do, we have free will; we are the masters of our own lives and our own destinies. We are in the driving seat to discover our own way home, home to the universal whole. We are here on the earth plane to learn hard lessons as well as lessons such as love and compassion and understanding. Sometimes we can only learn the lessons of love and compassion by going through very difficult situations that push us to our limits, but if we accept situations to be what they are, and we allow and learn each lesson as it is presented, then we can move through these difficult situations from a place of love and light. There are many negative things that happen to us, we are human and we are expected to be emotional beings. Do not fight the anger, the hurt, or feelings of betrayal, anymore than you would fight love, happiness and a feeling of belonging, do not deny their existence as part of who you are. The secret is to accept these painful emotions as part of who you are but not to dwell on them, accept the emotion and allow yourself to experience it and then move forward to improve your own situation. Do not allow anybody in the spiritual profession to tell you that “This is how it is, this way is the only way” as this is just not true. You cannot progress spiritually by following any individual on their path because it is their path and not your own. Your path is to be found in questioning everything that you are told or taught. Do not accept that something is truth because a very famous and well respected person has said that it is. Seek your own truth and build your own path to enlightenment and begin this by trusting yourself, your own intuition and accepting that you are a very powerful knowledgeable spiritual being. If your intuition tells you, or you have a ‘gut’ feeling about something, and then learn to trust that feeling, it will not lead you wrong. Now everything that I have said in this article is what sits well with me and feels right in my soul, you do not have to agree with any of it and I invite and encourage you to do your own research into what feels right in your soul so that you can find your way to enlightenment sooner and feel the joy of discovery yourself. © Stella Ware

TIARNIE

Psychic Medium & Tarot Reader

I find myself right now under this powerful eclipse energy writing my first article for this awesome online magazine Cheeky Angels. I ponder what to share, what topic I should write about, how, when, and it occurs to me that all I have to do is share my heart, my truth and my whole vibrant being with you all. This leads me to the original idea and topic I had for this article which is “ ”. How to live your truth in a world where being the same is pushed and may even seem like the only way to fit in. I have always felt “unique” to say the very least, take one look at my astrology chart and even the world renowned astrologer Gary Goldschneider agreed. When I was growing up I always felt different and left out, little did I realise I was an Indigo child and a Lemurian, so I chose to experience some harshness from a young age for me to unfurrow out of it and be exactly where I am today. I feel like I have moved forward fearlessly and when I read my first self-help book, “ ” by Louise L Hay, well that was an “aha” moment and I KNEW with 100�accuracy why I was here and what my life’s purpose was. I now feel whole in my entire being… whole, blessed and deeply grateful. This is my deepest wish and desire for everyone. As we move into a brand new vibration we have to remember that labels, judgements, ideals, opinions, different perceptions and ideas are ALWAYS going to be a part of our journey and the way we deal with this is to respond and not react. Remember the Universe isn’t doing anything “to” us it’s just responding to what we are “BEing”. When we can honour what our heart feels, our soul longs for and our cells dance too I can promise you this, the Universe will shower you in abundance and many doors will open for you as a result of listening within then taking action. Live your truth courageously, openly and candidly; people will always pick up and feel a true and authentic person. When you begin to practice non-attachment, nonjudgement and BE more accepting, embracing, loving and kind life becomes effortless; a continuing flow off goodness, oneness and life becomes REAL. It’s time to give up the word “trying” from our vocabulary and start BEing, start taking responsibility for all we create, focusing on what matters most in our lives, BEing grateful every single day for the little things which are really the big things, share our heart and truth with all whom we encounter, BE vulnerable and as we drop the barriers, walls and defences all that is left is graceful, blissful and abundant love. LOVE is all we are and to share this is one of the greatest accomplishments we can achieve while we are here on Earth. My nickname is “ ” and this is so deeply humbling and very true.. I believe and feel it is so important to honour yourself, speak your truth kindly and assertively. To

listen with the intent to understand people and to truly honour others in their space, giving them the time and attention they deserve is a truly rewarding practice. However of course there is a place to set healthy boundaries, but in this space please let go of the aggression, the negativity, the anger and the story that continues to hold you in a space of victim mentality. It’s time to BE IMpowered; I’M powered, yes; always remembering we are attracting into our lives the exact energy we are vibrating to. Our thoughts, actions, speech and feelings all must be in alignment and when this happens just watch and be a part of all the incredible miracles and divine synchronicities that will unfold in your life each and every day. So how does all this lead to BEing you, BEing real and BEing authentic? Well simple, start practising living your truth, listen to the messages that are received through your body, your heart and your soul, tap into your own infinite power, if something doesn’t feel right it probably isn’t and that ok.. Know that it is ok to be you, you are worth loving, you are worthy being listened to and you are worthy of acceptance just because you are here. Embrace life with open arms, say YES to all that is here for you, this is your true BEing; this is your inherent nature. I want to honour each and every one of you for taking the time to read this article which flowed from my heart. It is my truth, my souls joy and a rewarding way to live your life. I am blessed to be a part of this journey with you here in such amazing and transformational times.. Until next time, In light and deep deep love Tiarnie Guided from Within xxx

Hi I am Tiarnie from Guided From Within and for the past 13 years I have deeply into becoming who I am in truth and creating an abundantly, fulfilling and joyous life. This is my greatest desire and wish I have for everyone, it is for you to truly honour who you are, live a life full of incredible opportunities being in sync with the Universe and shining your light. We have ALL potential, wisdom, unlimited creation and love within us hence the reason I created my business "Guided from Within". This represents who I am at the core of my being and I like to enable others to be able to tap into this energy within themselves. I use and practice an array of modalities and am passionate about each and everyone of them. From astrology to meditation, Chakras, crystals, to numerology, quantum physics and connecting with the Archangels. I have an abundant and unwavering trust in the Universe and I like to gently guide others to surrender and live from a space of acceptance and allowance in all the Universe has in stall for us. I facilitate workshops/retreats and circles using many of these beautiful tools on how to transform your life, take full responsibly for all you create and live from a space of love, joy and so much gratitude... As my journey continues to unfold I am in awe of the opening, depth and truth that is still to be revealed. I love transforming my world and feel honoured to assist and allow others to do the same thing in their lives. Life truly is a blessing of glorious grace and I am in deep gratitude each and every day. Brightest blessings to you all as you discover who you are and learn to shine and live from your heartspace..

Psychic Medium & Tarot Reader

There is so much talk out there about Chakra’s as well as much misinformation around about them, so I have decided to provide you with a guide to Chakra’s and throughout the other Editions we will explore each one, learn how to balance them, meditate with them and have fun with them!! So sit back, relax and enjoy!!! Chakras, in Hindu and other belief systems, are centres of Pr a, life force, or vital energy. Chakra is a Sanskrit (historical Indo-Aryan language) word which means ‘wheel’. Our Human Energy Field (Aura) is an energetic, multi-dimensional field that surrounds our human body. This Human Energy Field has rivers of energy known as meridians (many religions know this latent subtle energy is called Kundalini in Shaktism, and Tumo in Tibetan Buddhist Tantra) which feed all organs within our bodies. These rivers are connected by seven Chakras. Chakra’s relate to not just to our emotional wellbeing but also our physical wellbeing, in particular, the endocrine system, spinal and central nervous system. In fact, there are actually hundreds of Chakra’s within our body but it is the main 7 that connect and are the most powerful:

IMAGES COPYRIGHT: FREEDIGITALPHOTOS.NET

Sahasrara means 1000 petalled lotus which is purple in colour and generally considered to be the Chakra of pure consciousness. It is the seventh Chakra, found at the top of the head and is used as a tool to communicate with our spiritual nature, alongside the Brow Chakra, most commonly known as the ‘Third Eye’. Ajna, the sixth Chakra, is symbolised by a lotus with two petals, and corr esponds to the colours violet, indigo or deep blue. It is found in the centre of the forehead and is more frequently referred to as the ‘third eye’ and most of us link the Third Eye to psychic perception.

Vishuddha is depicted as a silver crescent within a white circle, with 16 light or pale blue, or turquoise petals. It is the fifth Chakra and positioned at the neck/throat region. The colour blue and the position of this Chakra helps us easily identify it as the communication center.

The fourth Chakra, Anahata, is symbolised by a circular flower with twelve green petals. It is positioned in the central channel behind the spine at the heart region. As is the heart symbolism, this energy centre is about emotions, in particular love but it goes hand in hand with healing (the colour green denotes this too).

Manipura is symbolised by a downward pointing triangle with ten petals, along with the color yellow. Located in the area of the solar plexus, navel, and the digestive system it is the third Chakra. It is mainly responsible for the energies of power and will and it governs our self-esteem and personal power.

The second Chakra, Swadhisthana is symbolised by a white lotus within which is a crescent moon, with six vermillion, or orange petals. Located between the navel and the pubic bone, it is about feeling, sexuality and creativity.

The first Chakra, Muladhara, is symbolised by a lotus with four petals and the color red. It represents your foundation and is all about feeling grounded and secure. When these are out of alignment we can often tell as it is where we have issues with the part of the body that the Chakra is connected to. I will be going into more detail on each Chakra in the next 7 Editions but for example if you are having an emotional day then it is more than likely that the Root Chakra is out of alignment. I will reiterate here that this is not in substitution for medical advice.

I knew from an early age that I had an ability to talk to, hear and feel spirits but, like many, life took over! My mother has always believed in me and nudged me in the right direction and I do have to thank her otherwise I would not be doing what I love to do. I have to thank my guides as well for their patience and support. When my g reat g randmother died in the mid 1990’s, i was having conversations with her and knew that this was not just part of the grieving process. I even kept seeing my guide, a Rabbi, in my bathroom and he was very real!! T his was when I decided to listen to what my guides were telling me, although I didn’t really understand at the time. It was a chance reading by a good friend and Medium who told me that I wasn’t going mad and I indeed had a ‘gift’ which I needed to start to nurture and share. I am also Reiki 1 attunded, and have a passion for crystals & pendulums.. www.thetarotsays.webs.com

We can balance the Chakra’s in a number of different ways, and it is up to the individual which is best for them but some will visualize each Chakra spinning clockwise, others will use guided meditations to help them and some will place the corresponding crystal on that Chakra. Of course some will use different combinations and others have their own unique ways.

Life Coach I believe everything happens for a reason. I believe that we are creators of our own destiny. Is this a contradiction? Can things happen to us without us creating them on some level first? Can we be both passive subjects as our life takes course around us, and also active participants in the life we are creating? I believe we can....and we are. We think, we feel and we attract experiences to ourselves based on our vibrations, our thoughts, beliefs, fears and intentions. We create our futures based on our present thoughts. We attract experiences to us, that we need to grow, develop and expand in consciousness. we do not always consciously create our experiences, but sometimes we are forced into unforseen futures, because it is the experience that is necessary for our souls growth. Our soul is aware of what it needs, and need not consult the ego self for permission...so it may sometimes appear as though we are powerless in creating and manifesting our ideal lives.....but in reality, our soul self is creating (your soul is you) and our ego self (the other half of you) is not always a welcome member on the 'Life Path Committee' We can undoubtedly influence our future by holding different thoughts about it. We can create. but we cannot control everything (life events, loved ones passing etc), and sometimes our attempts at manifesting, affirming and creating our way into a new future, onto a new path is premature.....we may need to stay in the uncomfortable space, travel further along the bumpy road, until we have integrated the lesson firmly into our consciousness. But importantly, recognise that while we are travelling that road, we always have choices....such as how we react, respond, think and feel. While we may not always have control over what events unfold in our life.....we can always control our reaction to it. To empower ourselves spiritually and personally, and to allow our powers of creation to strengthen, we need to accept responsibility for our life. We need to own our choices, our actions, our thoughts, our reactions and our feelings. If you are waiting for someone to change, or say sorry, or are blaming your childhood or something else out of your control, you are giving what you are focused on energy, and therefore you don't have your power, someone else or the past does!! Take back your power by taking responsibility for your life! Everything is a choice, the relationships you are in, the friends you have, the energy you take on, the way you respond to negative events, trauma, loss etc...you chose your actions, words and feelings and how you deal with things is completely in your power. Live in

your power and give love to all that hurt you. That's a choice you can control. The fact that someone has hurt you is probably something that you couldn't control. Practice forgiveness, its empowering and I know its hard, I have done it, and it gets easier when you see how powerful you become from living this way! Choose love. Choose happiness! Choose positive thoughts. Your thoughts are more powerful than anything else you have. They are your greatest asset and biggest setback. You own them. They attract things into your life continuously......if you believe yourself unworthy of true love....it will elude you. If you believe you live a life of lack.....it will be true for you. If you believe you deserve abundance, are worthy of it, ready it and have garnered the lessons you need to prepare you for it.....it will appear to you. When it does and how it does may be beyond your creation.....and exceed your expectations. You need to trust. Trust, have patience, flow along your path and keep your faith in you, the universe and your future. I am a very positive, optimistic and happy person.. I stop myself immediately in the path of negative thoughts...and if I didnt catch myself in time...I try and erase any negative effects that I attracted from my negative thoughts with an outburst of positive thoughts..... Then i worry that by only thinking positively, I am not being realistic. LOL. So, life is really one big challenge on our brains. But I think, balance is always key....and by acknowledging negative thoughts, detaching from them and releasing them....that's a healthy way to manage them.... Ask the angels, AA Michael and your guides to remove any negative energy that is attached to you from thinking negative and fearful thoughts. Keep cleansing the energy, keep visualising success in all areas. think about the future you want....and create it....just be prepared to face some unforseen events along the way.....life wasn't meant to be easy....life is meant to make us grow. Honor your journey, heed the lessons, open your eyes to the possibilities and have FAITH! Have faith in your path, faith in your ability to handle what comes your way with dignity, integrity, honor and strength. Have faith in being a creator of your future....and trust that things happen for a reason. Its not a contradiction. :-)

DANIELLE GARRINGER Psychic Medium

Forgiveness is not about forgetting what was done, it's not about getting to a place where you can walk into a room with the person and act like nothing ever happened. It is not even about letting the person know you have forgiven them, true forgiveness does not require that to happen. Forgiveness is about letting go emotiona lly and energeti cally. Letting go of the guilt, anger, and sadness involved, the regain ing your own personal power back. When someth ing happens between you and another person usually two things happen. They have so much power over you because you are angry, sad and hurt by their actions, but you also may hold a lot of guilt because you may feel you could have done something different. Each of these emotions are a link back to them, giving them power and holding you in the past. It is important to keep in mind that everything happens for a reason and although we may not know why, somewhere in this there is an important lesson to be learned. Ever wonder how a mother could forgive the person that killed their child? They have accepted that it happened, accepted that they couldn't do anything to change the outcome and accepted that dwelling on it won’t bring their child back, but only hinder them from moving forward. They have let go of the power the person had over them, and given themselves permission to take back their own power, be in control of their own lives and not live in the unchangeable past. They are not forgiving them in the sense that they will start visiting and chatting, nor to a point that they will love that person. (Although, some do manage to take it to that point) They are

simply breaking the negative cord that is attached and choosing to move forward in their life. Life isn't perfect, nor will it ever be. Perfection is something that we cannot have here on earth. The only perfection we have is to know we are a perfect piece in the grand scheme of the universal picture. We make mistakes, others make mistakes. We have made bad choices and so have others, but each and every piece is a lesson for us that we can either learn from or let hold us back. Forgiven ess is a powerful thing, it is a freedom that only you can give yourself. Forgiveness doesn’t happen overnight and it may take a few times. You may have to remind yourself several times, don’t be too hard on yourself, it happens. It is okay to have a bad day, or even a bad week, just keep working on it. This is where you can ask your guides and angels to help you in the process. Ask them to help bring you peace and to help you get your power back. They are there for you, all you have to do is ask. Keep your head up, remember to smile. You are uniquely you and as long as you are being active in the forgiveness process you are showing the universe you are trying, the only true way to fail is if you never try. Make the choice to release the pain, and choose to do it today.

Danielle was born and raised in Washington State (USA). She grew up in a household where Psychic abilities were normal, and talked about on a regular basis. Seeing and communicating with Spirits and Spirit Guides was just a part of life. She didn't realize this was not normal for the rest of the world until she was a young teenager. It was then she was told she was worshiping the devil. This scared her so much she stopped openly discussing her gifts with people outside her immediate family. Years later she found herself questioning her abilities again and needed answers to these happenings in her life. She turned to the Internet and found actual names for her abilities, she found others could do the same and not only was it not Devil's work, but the Devil didn't exist, which felt right to her. This gave her hope and Danielle launched herself into a mission - she wanted to learn as much as she could on all the different types of abilities. She began talking to others at this time and she re-opened her channels. She started doing readings online and was opening back up to the people around her. She was confident and learning every aspect of Metaphysics she could. Life presented her with some very tough times and that launched her into what she calls her "Dark Age". She became very depressed and stopped listening to her Guides and one by one they all left. Over time she realized she had to come out of the slump and, as all things work in the Universe, the time was right for her to do that. As soon as she decided to come out of her depression she immediately began to meet people that would support her, teach her, and give her the confidence she needed. She hasn't looked back since.

A healthy, well-tuned brain generally equals a healthy, well-tuned individual. What we focus on expands and thoughts are things. Thoughts are vibrational Be-ing’s that fly out of our brain to create the experiences in our lives. If we are thinking good, positive thoughts and our brain is 'together' and in tune, we will have a good, positive reality. The brain is the physical matter and the mind is our connection to the Divine. They are intrinsic when and if we choose to connect the dots. Since I healed and retuned my brain from seven major head injuries, I have accessed a gift of 'seeing' and 'hearing' the colours of a person's past. When I merge with a client in the quantum field, I get what I call 'impressions.' Once I see them, we begin clearing the old patterns and structures of trauma using gentle, loving, light filled sound. Often times, talking with a person for a few minutes, I can usually tell if they have suffered head injury/concussion. Nine times out of ten, they had forgotten that they seriously bumped their head as a child or adult and had no idea that the result of this blow was impacting their life. The good news is they can be re-tuned as long as they use the right tools. Go to www.brainstatetech.com for assistance if you have had trauma to your precious brain and or contact me for a tune up.

to conditioning and or trauma, it can play out like a soap opera in everyday life. Many people get stuck, often times due to habit, seeing the world from a combo of the limbic and reptilian brain. The good news is there is a third level and that is Whole Mind. This is where we are meant to live, thrive, co-create and be the genius of our lives and body temple. Whole Mind processing is our natural birth right! It is where and how we connect with Source energy directly. It is our intuition and our ability to receive input and information from a progressive and loving Universe. It is the piece of the magical pie. Whole Mind takes the lead, ahead of the reptilian and limbic experience. With practice and awareness, every one can live in Whole Mind. It takes time and practice to unite them all, creating new neural pathways and super highways in the brain. This is also where the gift of intelligence combined with healthy, balanced, sexual energy can be channelled to take our lives to new heights. Imagine if we all committed to living and thriving in our Whole Minds. We might have much less pain, drama and suffering, much of what we might see on TV.

What does it mean to have a Whole Mind? There are three simplified levels to the inner workings of the brain. The first level is the reptilian brain which is basic survival, primal sexuality and ancient biology. It is great and needed, however, if people remained living from the reptilian brain, we would remain in the dark ages. Like cave people, bonking each other on the head and causing unnecessary wars. The second level is the limbic system. This is the emotional area of the brain and if it is in hyper lock due

Everyone has a different belief when it comes to their Spiritual Journey and it should be like that as everyone’s journey is different. What you believe in (just like in any other religion), is not necessarily what others believe. Some only believe in Angels and not Spirit Guides, or believe that an Angel is a Spirit Guide. Who are we to say that it is wrong? We can’t… but I believe in Angels, Spirit Guides, Animal Spirit Guides and yes… the Elementals (fairies at the bottom of my garden!). Totem Animals (Power Animals) are part of many beliefs most notably Native American & Shaman’s. life and spiritual beliefs but more and more people are discovering their totem animals as part of their individual journeys away from Native American beliefs. These totem animals work in different ways, in my opinion, which is that they can describe your personality in a reading as well as calling upon them when you need help. They also appear when we need guidance. Just the same as our Angels and Spirit Guides, Animal Guides are there to guide, protect, heal and educate you along your spiritual journey.

You are an intelligent person if you have a Gorilla as a totem animal!! Gorilla’s are highly intelligent and very quick learners. It also means that an important teacher has just come into your life, or just about to. They will helping you with communication, spiritual development especially clairaudience and you will be learning more about yourself. Gorillas live in groups called troops and if you have a Gorilla as a totem animal, it demonstrates that you are a family person and love to have people around you all the time. You have very strong family bonds and it also shows that you protect your family and are a strong person both physically and mentally, although you don’t

Of course again, it’s all about symbology and people’s interpretations. We all interpret things different and we all feel differently about things so although I will be providing you information about a different Totem Animal each addition you can add to the interpretation yourself or dismiss it.. it is an aid to help you understand the different Totem Animals. If you have a different interpretation, we would love to hear from you!

Well, I am able to see people’s animals around them and provide information to that person about why they are there etc but you are able to do it exactly as you would do in calling your angels, or talking to your Spirit Guides. Some do this through meditation, others call upon them to help. Some of course do it through the aid of Oracle Cards or of course it might be that you have heard or seen more than usual about a particular animal and you take it as a sign that that particular animal is around you. ©Joanne Murray

like confrontation. Respect is very important to the gorilla. People may feel that you are difficult to approach but you are very much the opposite – very tender, caring and loving. Gorillas have acute hearing and therefore indicates clairaudient abilities (the ability to hear Spirits) and you are a great listener and really hear what others are saying and respond accordingly. Gorillas also indicate that you do have to fight for what you believe in as well as your status amongst family and friends. You often find it difficult in a new group but once you work out the dynamics then you feel comfortable. If you are feeling lonely, then call upon the Gorilla as it will help you find more social interaction.

Want to know what your Totem Animal is? I will be giving away 5 Totem Reads in the next issue worth £10 each. Just email cheekyangelsmagazine.@gmail.com be for a chance to be picked. www.cheekyangelsmagazine.webs.com

SILE WALSH Oracle Card Reader, Energy Healer & Tutor Leaving my house is always an ordeal as my dog suffers with anxiety and refuses to go into the back yard pulling away when he see’s you ushering that way and when you leave him inside he comes to the window and gives you his OH really your leaving me alone look. Pulling on every heart string I have as if like a violin. As I left today and put him out the back I was thinking how each time we leave he doesn’t stay in the moment enjoying the sun, the birds and the adventure of our backyard. Instead he reverts back to a time when he was left alone for long periods of time and becomes seriously anxious. Then it struck me that we all do that; we don’t take in the glory every minute life is offering us, instead we judge it

against the past events. If it reminds us of it we panic and act as if the worst is about to happen. Refusing to enjoy ANYTHING that reminds us of a past event. This means that we are literally creating a space to relive our negative past again and again and again all the time blaming the past event and not taking responsibility for the fact we are doing it to ourselves again and again. Are you reliving a negative event, empowering the event and energising it more than you are the healing and blessings of the NOW I have always been intuitive and guided into all sorts of ‘lucky’ situations. I often find myself in the perfect place at the perfect time and all by ‘coincidence’. These coincidences I now see as sign posts in my life that I followed, they usually showed up as knowing’s or gut feelings (I now know that’s energy awareness). Through these things happening i believe it strengthened my awareness of energy. I have trained as a Rising Star, Access Consciousness Bars and Rahanni Practitioner. I teach natural Healing and Prema Birthing (a rebirth technique) classes. The classes I run take a natural form but always include important practical steps. Each participant not only learns about healing others but learns about who they are as a person. My angle is that s elf-awareness is the key to wellness and so everything I approach from one on one session’s to classes bares this in mind. Sessions can be done in person or distantly either way the benefits are as effective. Children also benefit from sessions as children now are so aware of energy the benefits are often surprisingly strong. All information can be found on: www.silewalsh.com

Hi Mandy,

Q

Here is a picture of Harmonie - a 2yo Staffordshire Terrier. She is a very anxious little girl and I wonder if you can provide some advice to me that will help her and me. She is wearing her shirt which helps to calm her when we drive or walk. Thank you so much Debbie Cox

Hi Debbie, Thank you for your submission. Looking at Harmonie and linking in with her she automatically backs away as she does not know me but she has allowed me in and now knows i am not a threat to her and only have her best interests at heart. This lovely young lady has such a wonderful nature but has the equivalent of anxiety and panic attacks in humans but without the actual attack itself. More the feeling before the attack actually happens. Now i am being shown back to when she was much younger and can see her being badly beaten and made a mockery of. I can see 3 adults and a child around her. 2 of these adults were young males and the other a young female in her early twenties. The 2 males found it highly amusing to beat her and am being shown a specific image of her being hit on her behind when she least expected it which hurt her and would sting for quite a while afterwards and i am seeing this as a whip type stick. If you have had her since a puppy then this would be a past life of hers but this is still prominent in her mind. I am also seeing her being attacked by 2 dogs in the past also. one is a much larger dog than herself and looks to be a Doberman and the other one was much smaller than herself and both were separate incidents by 2 dogs unrelated or unconnected to each other. I don't feel Harmonie is a nasty dog at all and feel she would much rather back away from confrontation as she really does not like it whatsoever. Every noise, every sudden movement makes her much worse because of the past and cannot trust anyone or anything. This trust has to be earnt as she panics within. My advice would be to be mindful of your mindset and what you are thinking about when you approach a situation whether it be a drive or a walk for you worrying about how she will be you are instilling that fear in her before she even goes anyway as she picks it up from you telepathically and on an empathic level. For starters i would keep the car parked and leave 2 doors open down one side making sure you are not on a busy road when she could be injured if she decides to run and participate in play in the parked car for 5 minutes to start with. Then leave the car and lock it up until the next day and gradually increase the time spent playing in the car and this will ensure she sees the car as a fun time and not connected to a fear. Then when this has been built up, leave the engine running, then gradually closes the doors, but don't go anywhere and still keep up the playtime in the car. Once you have done this for a few times then travel short journeys and gradually building it up to longer distances and this will help to eradicate the fear she has and replacing it with the association of fun instead. With all other areas she is nervous of do the same thing, introduce it as a fun time but keep it minimal and slowly building it up and try not to worry about how she will be for she will then pick that up from you and it will undo the job you are about to do.

i just need to know if these 2 loved pets have passed on tomcat ( above) and simba (below)

Q

ty coldethyl

Hi Fran, Thank you for your submission. I have linked in to both your cats, Tomcat and Simba to find out whether they have passed over to the spirit world or not. I am sorry to say this but i am seeing Tomcat in Spirit after suffering a tumour in his kidney area and being put to sleep to end his suffering by the people he was residing with at the time who took him in and looked after him after he was found looking a bit worse for wear and they nurtured him only to become ill and eventually pass. He still comes to visit you and often lays at what looks to be the top of some stairs and also at the bottom of a bed which looks to be a double bed and on the right hand side as you lay in it. However, Simba i am seeing as still being on the earth plane but the surroundings have changed due to things being moved around at home at the time Simba decided to move out and i am seeing that he didn't like the moving of things around your home and took it upon himself to up and move out. I am seeing him with an elderly couple who look to be in their mid 70's and they idolise him and he decided to reside with them full time. He is appearing as being a bit fatter than the picture you supplied and appears to be happy, content and obviously well fed. He is struggling with his joints in his back legs but i feel this is due to age and it comes and goes but is being treated with a supplement to help with joints. Unfortunately cats do this and depending on their characters some will just up and move out and will not tolerate any changes and others will put up with it and tolerate much more. Mandy Carr xx This is Goldee (on left when looking at the photo) and Indee and they are sisters....

Q

They are barkers ... need I say more. They are girls and talk a lot. Indee also is a poo eater but we have been working very hard on getting that stopped So if our photo is chosen, please feel free to tell us whatever comes to you about either one of them. I realize it is only for one and that is very generous. Crystal Blessings

Michele Taryn Nash

Hi Michele, Thank you for your submission, I have taken a look at Goldee and Indee and i had to giggle as Indee just has "trouble" written all over her and "butter wouldn't melt" they are both adorable! But Indee i feel is the cheekier one of the 2 and will push her luck far more than Goldee would although on saying that Goldee is also i feel the instigator when she thinks no one is looking and will encourage Indee to do things she shouldn't. Indee is also the more defiant one of the 2 i feel whereas Goldee will come across more as the goody two shoes as they say but she is the secret leader. these 2 are like a comedy duo and i could spend all day reading them. Never a quiet moment where these two are concerned. Their minds are so active its making me feel dizzy. Constantly on the go whether mentally or physically. I am also being drawn to one being a "dancer" A long term solution for Indee with regards to the poo eating is to not make a fuss when she does it as she will see this as competition and the fact you are trying to get to it before she does so therefore she will just eat it quicker next time to make sure you don't get it first. The eating of poo then becomes a significant event and escalates into a habit. Distraction and reward is therefore the better option and teaching the "leave" command will also help. Teach the "leave" command with something of low value before you graduate to using the leave command with poo eating. The eating of poo is very rewarding to a dog, therefore any action or exercises you undertake must be much more rewarding and enticing. Provide something your dog loves but is not readily available to them and keep it to training rewards only like chicken or slices of hotdog sausage. Hope this helps, Mandy Carr xx www.cheekyangelsmagazine.webs.com

Q

Hi, Cheeky Angels Love the mag. I have a question for the mag for Mandy pet psychic. I have 5 rats, they are known for liking company but Ivy does not get on with the others, if I put her with them she upsets them and they fight yet she is so sweet to people. I am wondering why she doesn't like the other rats? Thank you, Kez green xx

Hi Kez, Thank you for your submission. I have had a look at your picture and linked into Ivy. Rats are extremely intelligent pets and I have come across a few recently with regards to readings and this issue you currently have seems to be commonplace at the moment and the problem is they do not see themselves as rats but humans so to put a human thinking rat in with typically minded rats is like putting a cat amongst the pigeons so to speak hence the fighting with others and getting on better with people. She has much more intelligence than the others. When a pet does not get on with other pets of the same breed it is human intuition to pick them up and protect them and keep them separated but what this in fact does is make the problem worse as you are rewarding bad behaviour. In the wild these rats would sort it out amongst themselves and stay away from those they don't get on with and be civil with others and get on really well with the remaining ones. The problem you have here is that Ivy sees herself as human and not as a rat. In her eyes the others are well beneath her and she rises way above them in ranking and the others do not like this and resent her for it. To solve this would take some patience as it would mean not keeping her separate and keeping her with the others and letting them sort it out amongst themselves without any intervention but this would be very hard on you to watch and most likely to cause severe distress to her as they do no handle stress too well not to mention injuries from fighting. My advice would be to get a younger rat who is not part of the other group (an excuse for a new one too!) and keep them together so she is not alone and has another one for company that doesn't put her under stress but I am getting it very strongly that it has to be a young one that she can nurture and not older who will more than likely domineer her which will not go down too well. Hope this helps. Mandy Carr xx

Book recommendation from Mandy Carr-the pet psychic A Street Cat Named Bob: How One Man and His Cat Found Hope on the Streets [Paperback] Available from Amazon and major bookstores. This book is a heart wrenching read with a happy ending and we all love a happy ending. From the slums to fame based on care, determination and solid teamwork between a man and his street cat named Bob. When James Bowen found an injured, ginger street cat curled up in the hallway of his sheltered accommodation, he had no idea just how much his life was about to change. James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London and the last thing he needed was a pet. Yet James couldn't resist helping the strikingly intelligent tom cat, whom he quickly christened Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way, imagining he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas. Soon the two were inseparable and their diverse, comic and occasionally dangerous adventures would transform both their lives, slowly healing the scars of each other's troubled pasts. A Street Cat Named Bob is a moving and uplifting story that will touch the heart of anyone who reads it.

Since the last Edition many of you have written in to ask a question of our Cheeky Angels. Here are the responses to those questions….. This month Stella has completed the readings for you. If you were lucky enough to have your reading done, then we would really like to hear your feedback. wearing is pulled lose at the neck and the top of his shirt is open at the collar, it is almost as if he is at the end of a very long day, but I feel that this is just the person he is, constantly on the go. He does look tired around the eyes, Thank you! but also very kind and his cheeks are rosy, so I would say that where he lived there was rather inclement weather and he would have been outside in it quite a lot getting Thank you for your question and may I say from one place to the other.

If we truly would like to actions are about to take place that will enable you to go have interaction with them then we must work at it and spend the time it takes to get to know them, the same as on in a new way. It feels as if this situation has been a burden for quite some time and that it has had the effect we would for any friend on the earth plane. This is an of making you very tired. I see that the people who are important part of spiritual development, and it helps to responsible are being put into your ‘people that I used to teach us control of ourselves when we are making any know’ category and that you have been able to hold on to connection to Spirit. the things that matter most to you despite the problems I can tell you that I sense there are at this moment in that have previously arisen from this situation. You are time 4 strong Guide characters around you, there are entering a time, whereby, you can look forward and make three males and one female.

I first picked up a pack of Tarot cards about 22 years ago, when I had just turned 18. For many years I did readings for myself, family and friends, but didn't ever think about doing it for a living until many years later. I bounced from casual job to casual job with little focus, as had failed to find anything I truly enjoyed doing. I was interested in Tarot, Runes and Astrology but it never occured to me to do these things for a living. It wasn't until after the sudden death of my Father in 2004 that I considered trying my hand at the Tarot on a professional level . The drastic change in my life after his loss had prompted a lot of soul-searching and I decided it was high time I tried to make a career for myself doing something I knew I liked and was pretty good at. And so I put a website together- www.theenchantedland.com , then not long after this, I noticed Ebay had quite a few people selling readings on there. I decided to give it a go, and began getting orders instantly. It was basically "pocket money" for the first year or so, but then things really began to take off ! Within the space of a few years, I was the top-selling Tarot reader on there, earning a full time living and really enjoying my "time in the sun". All this was to change, however, in the most unexpected way.... In August 2012, Ebay announced shocking plans to prohibit sales of various esoteric services as of September that same year. In the space of a few short weeks, dozens of spiritual businesses around the world offering psychic readings, spell castings, distant healings and spelled objects were destroyed with little warning, while thousands of regular customers were left wondering where to go to find such services in a similar online venue. This completely unexpected turn of events was a complete disaster for me , effectively ruining my main business overnight . At the time the news was released, I had gained over 4, 000 positive feedback ratings for my services as a Tarot reader there. I had a thriving business, earned a steady income. What was I going to do ? What were all my fellow metaphysical sellers going to do ? Sure, many of us had our own websites but for a lot of us, myself included, Ebay was the main portal for sales. After the shock and anger I was feeling began to abate , I started brainstorming ideas for new ways to get myself "out there" as a reader. One night, something significant occured to me : there was not yet one single site like Ebay that was dedicated to sales of metaphysical products and services. All the other auction sites had categories for these types of things, but dozens of other categories for nonrelated things. I thought it would be a fantastic idea to create a venue that operated just like Ebay, but where the things for sale there were ONLY related to the metaphysical niche. And so the idea for "Mystic Emporia" was borne. I put aside all funds earned from my last few weeks on ebay, hired a web designer and got to work at creating www.mysticemporia.com . After a lot of hard work, the site launched mid November. I manage the site

myself and at present there are no sponsors or large advertising campaigns as the project is being funded entirely out of my own pocket, so the site relies heavily on word of mouth at the moment to gain interest. As the site is still very new, it is going to take time to gain attention. So far though, there have been around 900 people signing up to become members and quite a lot of people who used to sell on Ebay can now be found there. In addition, the Facebook page has attracted over 7,000 likes, so clearly there is a lot of interest in a venue like this. Visitors to the site can browse listings in categories which include Astrology reports, clairvoyant readings, distant healing, dream analysis, magick and spells, pagan and wiccan products, occult collectables, life coaching, Numerology, divination decks and tools , spiritual jewellry, arts and crafts and more. Joining the site as a buyer or seller is free, and as a thank you to all new sign-ups, members can claim 3 emailed Astrology reports free of charge. Sellers can place listings on the site for free , with the option to enhance their listings with upgrades for tiny amounts. As the site is international, it welcomes buyers and sellers from all around the world. Looking back at what happened with Ebay, it now feels like it was the exact change that was needed in my life. For many years I had been complacent, relying mostly on traffic there to find work, and not really pushing myself to try my hand at new projects or kick start various other ideas I had been mulling over for quite a long time.The journey since "losing my job" on Ebay has been a challenging one, but such a rewarding one at the same time. I do hope you will pop along to Mystic Emporia ; Each and every new member helps us to build a stronger, more stable metaphysical buying and selling community , so that we can all benefit. Namaste, Victoria
