The Sacred Geometry
Oracle Deck

Sacred Geometry is the key to understanding the way the universe is designed. Called the language of light and science of compassion, its images and shapes are embedded in DNA, mandalas, pyramids, crystals and well, everything. Anyone who has ever gazed at a spider's web, meditated on a mandala or Yantra, visited a pyramid, walked a labyrinth, or peered through a microscope has felt the effects of sacred geometry. Designed by visionary artist Francene Hart, the Sacred Geometry Oracle set includes a 128-page 6X9 paperback book with 64 full-color oracle cards. See this page for more info or to order.



Catch a Falling Star

and other prints by visionary artist Francene Hart are available as Full Color Prints. Francene was summoned by spirit in 2001 to the Big Island of Hawaii and is now painting, swimming and living her bliss in bless'ed Hawaii. "My intention remains to follow my passion and life path as an artist and to continue to create paintings that bring forth healing and transformation for myself and for the planet," she says. Please see this page for more information or to order.

Abundance of Weeds
by Susun S. Weed / Herbalist, Author, Founder of the Wise Woman Center and Ash Tree Publishing
There are an abundance of weeds in my garden. If I let them grow, my tomatoes would suffer. I must remove one abundance in order to cultivate another. Abundance requires attention. One abundance may prevent another abundance. I don�t really weed my garden, though; I harvest the weeds for food and medicine. Using my weeds gives me abundance in abundant ways. I save about $500 a year by eating my weeds instead of buying greens and vegetables. I save more than $2000 a year by eating my weeds instead of buying vitamin and mineral supplements. And I can�t even guess at how much I save by using weeds as my primary health care.

Clearing the Brain
and the Mind

by Pamela Arwine / Founder of Quantum Healing Energetics and Lemurian Light Healing
Have you noticed that sometimes an issue, particularly a stubborn life theme issue, has a tendency to reappear just when you thought it had been cleared for good? There are several dynamics at play here. The obvious answer lies in taking a good look at the progress you've made and being very gentle and patient with yourself. Remember, you are taking a very proactive position and you are clearing in a matter of years what may have taken lifetimes to clear without the conscious work you are putting into it. And, the ego, in a misguided attempt to protect itself from annihilation, will almost always rear up in protest just when you are about to take a leap in consciousness.

The Basics of
Becoming Yourself

by Jan Engels-Smith / Founder of LightSong School of Shamanic Studies
The universe is unlimited, and, if you choose to explore it, you will awaken to a whole new way of knowing - a whole new way of being. Spirit is available to all people at equal levels; there is no "better than," or "more deserving." The choice to raise your consciousness means to broaden your awareness, open up to new possibilities, step out of your comfort zone, and allow information other than what you already "know."
