Good morning

A flurry of newsletters I know.  However.  I have been asked by a number of folk at neighbourhood house, yoga folk, and neighbours, to have  class on eating weeds and making something from nothing.  I have tried this before to an almost NIL result.  Everyone wants to come, but one at a time, precisely at a date and time to suit them.  Not possible.  However, I am trying again….

Where: In the studio and my garden

When Sunday 15th March,  2pm to 4pm

Cost $25

You will look at the plants in situ – in my garden (no scrambling over railway sidings!).  My weeds are the same as yours.  You will be able to harvest yours when you go home.  Some examples of the weeds we will feature, and how to (easily) use them – depending on time of course….. Dandelion, Herb Robert, Mallow, Nettle, Wild Garlic, Wild Roses and Rose Hips, Comfrey, Borage.

At present in my kitchen I have various jams and spreads, and we will discuss these.  We can make them at a later date if this becomes a regular event – I would like it to.  I have made cheese, preserved egg, kombucha, apple cider vinegar, pickled walnuts, walnut sauce and mead all bubbling away at little cost to me apart from time and enthusiasm (and I like to eat!).   By the time you come I will have rose-hip syrup to add to the list.  Later,  acorns will be available for flour and an alternative to kibble wheat.

Here in the Macedon Ranges we have lots of alternative to continuous visits to Coles.  Do come.

To pay:  Direct Debit, C’Wealth Bank: 063806 1019 1251 – The Australasian Yoga Institute.   (or bring the $25 with you).

 

Don’t forget our Mt.Macedon Hotel lunch.  12.30 on the 28th February.  Look forward to seeing you there.

 

Namaste.  Jahne….. 

 

 

 

 

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS AND LOVELIES….  It’s Thursday, my day off and I miss you already!

 

Just a reminder.  We have the lunch on Friday 28th at Mt.Macedon Hotel at 12.30.. (I can’t make 12pm this time either – the last lunch some of you struggled with the time – so 12.30 it is!).  Husbands and partners welcome.

 

TAROT:  The new course starts on Saturday 14th March, 2pm to 4pm.  If you have been before, you will learn something new, so don’t let that stop you from coming.

 

TAROT PENDULUM/TEA-LEAF READINGS:  You can come in person, or you can access them on line.  Available at www.myyogabooks.etsy.com, or you can go to www.mytarot.moonfruit.com

Above is the tea leaf reading chart (available at etsy), and my beautiful Chinese bowl and tea.  I look forward to seeing you.  When i had my little tea rooms (which is now the Art Gallery behind the Trading Post), I used to read the tea leaves for people every day… they travelled from far and wide and I got a great thrill out of the work.  It is the same as the pendulum, the tarot or Tyler Henry’s scribbling whilst he reads people.  It keeps the monkey mind engaged so that the superconscious can come forth.   I can read for you while you are in front of me, or I can do it at a distance.  You just need to have your questions organised (or not), and order a reading via either of the two sites given above.  I will log more alternatives regarding the focus of a reading so that you can be specific.  But really, all you need to do is ask, and what comes, comes.  There is also a blog at www.mytarot.moonfruit.com

 

See you at Mt.Macedon.

Namaste.  Jahne

 

 

 

TAROT TRAINING CLASSES

Our first for this year finished on Saturday.  I have been asked for another, and have decided on March 14th, 21st and 28th.  Three weeks is hardly enough time, but will give you the skills you need to start your journey.  You will receive a Revelation Tarot Deck as part of the course.  During the last course we studied pendulums and used them, dowsing, and of course various tarot concentrating on The Revelation Tarot…..

To enrol, go to www.mytarot.moonfruit.com.  Go to the training course application, download it,  fill it in, scan and send it to me.  Direct Debit the training fee, fill in your credit card number and we will deduct the fee from your account, or bring the fee with you in cash (plus the application form fully completed) when you come.

I will also be holding an eight week Diploma course in Tarot and Divination later in the year.

*If you have done a tarot course with me recently and wish to repeat, the cost is $95.  You are sure to learn something new – no two courses are exactly the same.  You will be able to read effectively and confidently for yourself or others after this short course.

February 16 To March 9: Mercury Retrograde In Pisces (Ending In Aquarius)

I am not an astrologer, but I subscribe, and read heaps,  because I am interested (if only there weren’t so many books, and ephemera needed to make a good calculation I would work harder on charts!).  Astrologers  all tell me that “Mercury is in retrograde”.  What does that mean?

From February to March, Mercury is in its detriment in Pisces, which means it is challenged here.  In plain speak, Mercury has to work a lot differently than usual, and will speak to you in poetry, energy, dreams and symbols.  We tarot readers can acknowledge astrology, and use it to get a more accurate, personal reading.  Everything is connected to everything.  What are your dreams telling you during this time?  Mine are incredible, full of meaning.  Please remember to use your tarot DAILY because you could need to find an imaginative or spiritual solution to an everyday problem.  Have your board, your deck your pendulum out and where you can use them.

Because things are not as they seem,   meditate daily to make sure you start each day with a clean slate..   I am sure you have noticed that in this astrological period,  misunderstandings can occur more easily, so be aware of jumping to conclusions.

This is not a “forever” movement of the planet and Mercury will slip back into Aquarius once March 4 rolls around.  This of course will help to lighten the mood towards the end of this retrograde cycle.  Remember what you were doing this time last year – February will be a gentler repeat.

You know that I love THREE CARD SPREADS, and here’s a three-card spread to help you navigate Mercury retrograde in Pisces.

1. YOUR CHALLENGE – What do I need to question, put on the back burner or discard right now?
2. YOUR RESOURCE – What do I need to daydream about instead?
3. YOUR LESSON – What can I learn when I stop and listen to the universe? I have found this to be MOST helpful, and I do it daily…

 

THE THREE MARYS COME HOME.

After my last exhibition about 2 years or so ago, the balance of my paintings were taken with the ex-owners goods as they left “early” and in a hurry.  I was told that holding the paintings would be returned within the week, but I have been told that before.  It is another version of “the cheque is in the mail”.  I wasn’t desperate, but one of the paintings of The Three Marys is now needed for a tarot deck I am making.

I had asked the Universe for the paintings before, but last Wednesday I made a special plea “I would like all of the paintings please God, but if you can only deliver one, then the one of the Three Marys is especially needed to complete the Magdalen (Three Marys) Tarot”.  I made the prayer, and during the yoga class that day, the paintings were returned – all of them.  How good is that!  Now I can move forward with the new deck.  There is a God.

 

THE MT.MACEDON YOGA LUNCH – no need to book.  Just come.

This will happen at 12.30 on Friday the 28th February, at The Mt.Macedon hotel as usual.

The 29th (the Saturday) is the last day of February making this year  a leap year, so we girls can ask the boys for their hand in marriage.  In the USA the 29th was called “Sadie Hawkins Day” and this was THE day.  So if there is a special someone who hasn’t yet popped the question, and you are ‘Waity Katy” (as Catherine was called whilst she was waiting to be asked by William) you can lead the parade on Saturday!

 

See you all soon.

NAMASTE.  JAHNE
