>> my notes:

ngl, i did drop the pleiadian tantric workbook because im well-versed in tantric exercises since ive done extensive research on the subject. it was more or less the same from what i already knew unfortunately. luckily tho, i finished reading the regular pleiadian workbook by amorah quan yin. i thought the other workbook provided great detail & a unique perspective on channeling energies from different dimension. i did find it kinda hard to get into & i would imagine it to start reading w/o prior knowledge on starseeds, divine energy, lightworking, etc. i also looked into the author (like i said i would in a previous post) to see if she was a legitimate spiritual guru & if she was a credible source or not. according to both of the prologues, the author is supposedly a psychic & holistic healer who has done ample amounts of practice with astral-traveling to interact with the pleiadian emissaries of light & other star beings since the early 1980s.

although i cant confirm her claims of her experiences with star beings in the astral realms, i can say w/o a doubt that she is a credible source. dating as far back as 1985, amorah quan yin has been doing similar channeling work as stated in her book as her full-time job & providing classes on the subject matter. she‘s actually the pioneer of most of this new age starseed knowledge, but sadly she departed this earth in 2013. rest in peace & may ur works & teachings live on!

7/10 would highly recommend for starseeds!

after finishing the pleiadian workbook, i decided to re-read the short novel buddhism: plain and simple by steve hagen again as a refresher. i havent quite finished it yet, but im nearing the end chapters. this book isnt anymore than 100 pages long, so its a great short read & something u can pick up quickly & put down to come back to. this is an excellent source of knowledge for the basis of buddhism; explaining the eight-fold path, karma & dharma, how to reach enlightenment or nirvana, and simple understanding of the divine ascended master, buddha. this is def not for those who have a solid comprehension on the religion, but its a fantastic source for ppl who know nothing about buddhism! its also a great refresher on the subject matter which is why i picked it up again. i think the author explains the concepts of buddhism very well & makes it easy to understand. if u r practicing buddhism intermediately or at an advanced level, dont bother reading this compact guide unless u need a reminder of all the basic understandings of most of buddha’s teachings.

5/10 would suggest to ppl who want to learn about buddhism but have no knowledge of it

the last spiritual resource im reading for the winter months is the world of shamanism by dr. roger walsh, phd. i was super excited to start reading this gem as from simply skimming the pages, i could gather that the author dedicated so much time & research into writing each section of this book that includes accurate historical references, cultural perspectives, and well-documented guides/tutorials within each chapter. im especially interested in reaching the sections on the astral realms & different states of consciousness! ngl, at first i found it a lil difficult to get into the world of shamanism as dr. roger walsh has somewhat of a monotonous tone in his writing, but i cant blame the man considering he went to university for almost a decade to study this matter. getting past the college-professor-writing style, it seems to be a fascinating book i cant wait to read more of!

8/10 excellent source material & very academic!

~ my altars, just in time for yule ~

top left photo: say hello to karronos (howlite) and sapphos (lepidolite), my two crystal skulls. this is my dream altat next to my bed with my dream journal & the 12,000 dreams interpreted book compiled by gustavus hindman miller

top right photo: this is ellie the elephant. she & her mom sit to the right of my entrances to my house. my elephant figures bringing in good luck, fortune, and abundance with gifts i leave inside the top of their heads. i dunno if i consider them “altars”, but i do feel blessed by goddess lakshmi every time i see them when i come home

last photo: my hella-large main altar where i do most of my workings. bonus! its a spinny table. excuse the mess, im still decorating for the yuletide season. i have two offering plates set aside for my matron & patron deities on here as well, although i have separate altars for them in the works. the mirror box also contains a shit ton of crystals, next to it on the left is my poppet doll along with a silver chalice that holds some of my crystal wands, and to the right is some moon water and herbs. i got some reading material and runes to the left & the right has most of my tarot/oracle decks. in the middle is some festive oracle cards for yule & this adorable earth pendant i got from a friend @oh.mg.art on insta. i also got an ethically-sourced deer skull gifted to me, decked out with my flower crowns in the bottom right hand corner. he doesn’t have a name yet, but he likes to chill next to me while i meditate & practice spellcraft
