Awakenings Bookstore in Toronto

Saturday, January 14th, 2006

See related entry for address & telephone number.

During a walk on the Danforth (just east of Pape on the north side — search for the wishing well in the window) I popped in to talk with Natasha, the owner of Awakenings, and I was so thankful that I did. The scent was superb, uplifting, and the walls were a wonderful shade of green (not sure how I missed that last time), and we had a soul talk. That was nice. She may even hold some seminars soon — stay tuned.

Visit. You will be happy that you did!

My Internet has been down so I haven’t posted a lot lately. So much to say about my adventures in psi phenomena.

One of my Favourite Tarot Reading Decks for Professional Tarot Readings

Friday, January 6th, 2006

I was asked which Tarot decks I like to use for professional Tarot readings and my reply was thus:

One of my favourites is Revelations. I wasn’t actually going to “reveal” the Tarot cards that I use but I want to ensure that this deck stays in existence and the only way that can happen is if there is a large demand for them. 🙂 So your request is synchronistic.

See Example Images

Revelations is a deck that can be read without knowing what the Tarot cards mean “if” one is visually oriented, likes abstract and a lot of things going on, and trusts their intuition. The Revelations deck has reverse meaning images too — totally breathtaking and the only cards that I know that has this. This makes it “very easy” to read reverse meanings without having to “memorize” reverse meanings. Personally I am a visual/verbal, abstract person, who relies on intuition even though I know the standard meanings of each card upright and reversed. It’s just a “pleasure” to work with these cards especially when it’s reversed since I get to use my eyes too.

Wong is also a wonderfully *nice* person so I want to support him.

Buy through Amazon — support Wong and support this blog~

Perhaps at some point I will write up a review that honour’s these cards more. And further, I may reveal more of the decks that I use which are “not popular” but amazing decks. Once a deck or book goes out of print, it costs a lot of money to get or is virtually impossible to get. So I often pick up 2-3 decks at a time but I thought I might start revealing these decks, especially if the creator is an awesome person — like Wong and maybe I won’t have to do this anymore. lol Win/Win

The East End alternative to The Occult shop over at St.Clair West and The Eternal Moments book store in the Annex, also the SnowLion is near Awakenings.

This store is the most “beautiful” and “clear/clean” metaphysical store in Toronto. It’s fairly new and all the product seems “hand picked”. There doesn’t seem to be anything there that is “superflous” or “old”. The floor has wood slats and two beautiful chairs with a mini coffee table — very well decorated.

It’s well worth the visit. Also there’s a divination bowl with “sayings” in it — be sure to get your fortune strip.

Medium in 3 D

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

I liked the show a lot but the 3D seemed wasteful and the glasses bothered me. I would have been fine watching it normally. However, if there wasn’t so much hype about the 3D I probably wouldn’t have watched it. So the promotion worked! 🙂

Though as another blogger mentioned, there are so many other shows I’m watching that this one could be left to the wayside. It doesn’t have that “addiction” component like Lost, Apprentice, Grey’s Anatomy, and CSI. But I’m certain they could work on the show to bring it up a notch and not with gimmicks (though that worked to make me come see the show but the gimmick was a let-down).

I love the lead characters (husband and wife team) and in fact the characters are really great (something is missing in the show though). It’s not often we see a couple interact in a fairly “normal” way on TV and they are both adorable (reminds me of hubby and I *grin*).

One of the best parts was the newscast after the show. There was an interview with the “real” medium and she was uncharacteristically pretty — a blonde even. So goes to show the veil is getting thinner and thinner.

Believe in yourself people! 🙂
