Hello summer, here comes the 100+ degree weather. Remember to keep hydrated it’s hot out there! Our bodies are made up of between 55% water for women and 60% for men so it’s important to turn summer celebrations like the 4th of July into liquid party times. When visiting our Depot and Rock Yard, remember rocks and stones can get really hot this time of the year, so please be careful when handling and roaming about.
The full moon arrives on July 3rd and has various titles like the Buck Moon, because of the horn developments of the bucks during July, the Halfway Summer Moon (self explanatory) and Thunder Moon because of all the thunderstorms during this month. I mention the full moon times because the perfect alignment of the sun and moon with our earth, perfectly centered in between, not only allows us to see this wonder of a beautiful full moon, but also provides a direct concentrated beam of energy to imbue and cleanse your crystals and your body. This full moon in particular is recognized as being helpful in spiritually embracing and manifesting a new version of yourself.
What a great time we all had at our two day Tarot and Oracle Expo last weekend. With deck illustrators and creators, readers and guest speakers, this free public event had the auditorium humming with folks. Be sure to come visit us at our booth July 8&9 at Austin’s Metaphysical and Holistic Life Expo at the Norris Center on Anderson Lane in Austin, Tx (See "In the Community" below for more details).
Some highlights in this months newsletter include:
- A reminder of our upcoming visitors: California reader Sharon Sampsel and henna artist Renu Lal
- Our blog article for the month - Crystals for Cancer
- Learn about our featured Agate and what’s going on in the Depot
- Read about how the fossil Red Flash Ammonite can connect you to your ancestors and past lives
When reminding you about keeping hydrated I realized that a casual reminder of being aware of your full body might be in order. Check your physical body and support it with good healthy foods, rest and exercise. Tap into your mind and make sure you’re using positive words and thoughts. Try to add affirmations and manifesting to increase positive development. Scan your spiritual body and check in on your aura and chakras. Try enhancing yourself energetically with Reiki, crystals and meditation. You are responsible for maintaining your presence in this universe. Be kind to yourself.

Cancers embody some of the most admirable traits of the mother archetype. Home and family are a top priority for Cancers, and they are extremely nurturing, giving, caring, and empathetic...Cancers are also known for having a high level of emotional intelligence and creativity...As with all signs, there are some challenging aspects to the Cancer personality...Cancers can be overly sensitive, making it hard when faced with negative feedback or even the slightest criticism...You might find them withdrawing into their shells and having a self-pity party when they feel slighted. Crabs have strong claws and like to grab on to people, places, and things that they care about. Sometimes Cancers have a hard time letting go, even when it is the healthiest option.
Working with the right crystals can enhance the positive Cancer qualities while helping to overcome any growing edges.
HERE are the most highly recommended crystals for those with a Cancer sun sign.

Featured Fossil: Red Flash Ammonites
|
|
Red Flash Ammonites are a fossilized creature that lived 65 to 240 million years ago. These ancient sea creatures went extinct around the same time as the dinosaurs. They resemble a modern-day snail, but are more closely related to squid. When polished to highlight their internal beauty, many vibrant colors will appear, including a vibrant red. The Red Flash in the Ammonite imbues a sense of grounding and regeneration. Energetically, Ammonites have absorbed generations of energy and can be a bridge to connect with our ancestors and past lives. Whether you enjoy collecting amazing fossils or are drawn to the mysteries of the ancient past, the Red Flash Ammonite is an ideal earthly fossil to delight in.

Featured Agate: Blue Lace Agate |
|
Blue lace agate was originally discovered in Namibia, but deposits have since been discovered in Brazil, China, India and various places in the United States. Blue Lace Agates can be found alongside multiple other rocks and minerals, including amethyst. The alternating light and dark shades of periwinkle bands give this stone a naturally calming affect that has been described as being washed over with a peace akin to that experienced when receiving a nurturing hug.

Norma Trevino- Featured Artist
Metaphysical Painting
Enigma Art Show - July 15 - Free admission
An Empath, and intuitive as a young child, my gifts were mainly misunderstood and ignored. During my teens, a precognitive death dream as it was happening to a neighbor’s hospitalized child, brought it back to the surface. Other than the occasional intuitive vision or dream it was not developed further. After several NDES, the last one after major surgery in 2016, my gifts were enhanced. What started as a hobby, abstract painting, soon developed into something more. Being an Empath, the online new stories that affected me greatly were the ones that involved traumatic deaths.
I would start painting and lots of spirits and some landscapes appeared in each painting.
