This page is currently under construction. Don't worry, It'll be up soon! Visualize that you are alone, walking through a flowered filled mountain meadow on a warm summer day. Soft gray rain clouds drift across the deep blue sky above you. A gentle breeze is pushing the rain clouds to where you are. Suddenly the drops start falling slowly from the sky. You can see them as they splash against the rocks and hear them as they bounce off the petals of the wildflowers all around you. You lean your head back and open your mouth and feel the drops of rain splash against your tongue and your forehead. The light drops of rain splashing off your body, make you burst out with laughter and joy. The warm rain picks up in strength, and then on impulse you decide to go skyclad. As you dance around in the summer rain, you sense that all of nature is dancing with you to the steady tempo of the falling rain. You dance in celebration of life and the joys of being connected to the nature of your Self. You dance to express positive health, and delight with life. The rain softens and then comes to a stop altogether. The sun starts to peek out from behind a huge white cloud and the sky is starting to turn blue again. As the sun starts to peek out, you begin to dance again to celebrate the many hued rainbow that has formed across the sky. You stop to rest and reflect upon the many hues and colors of the beautiful rainbow that stretches out before you. As you reflect, you realize that your Self is composed of many different hues and moods, much like the rainbow. That all of these various hues and moods are necessary to form the single reflection of the Self. That like the many colors that it takes to form a rainbow, it takes many different aspects to form the Self. You become one and at peace with yourself as you rest among the wildflowers. The sun is now shining fully in a deep blue sky. It is time to return slowly. Feel the glow of emotional and spiritual health. Spellcrafts by Scott Cunningham & David Harrington The magical qualities of feathers are determined by their color(and sometimes by the birds from which they fell). Below is a composite of feather lore mostly from European folk magic sources and it differes from that of color symbolism in general. It’s always best to use found feathers as opposed to purchased feathers. Walks in parks or in zoos can provide a wealth of materials. If you keep birds, you have an even more reliable supply. Never harm a bird to obtain a feather. White – Purification, spirituality, hope, protection, peace, blessings of the moon.
