CHAPTER 1

'Crystal Clear'

Your judgements are being clouded at the moment by your expectations and fears, and those of others. You think you know what you want, but are unsure of how or what to ask for in order to bring it about. It's as though you can't see the wood for the trees. Taking time to focus on the subject of your enquiry is what you need to do right now, for clarity seeks you out and asks, 'What is it that you really want to know?' Getting back in touch with your true intuitive powers; listening with your heart and head requires bravery and honesty. You must be ready, and have regained your ability to discern between what is truly helpful for you and what a less authentic you might wish to hear or see. You are asked to be completely truthful with yourself as you gaze into the crystal ball. Here you will be shown the real question that in turn will give you the answer you are seeking.

Crystal Ball Revealed

Crystals have been used for thousands of years in many cultures for scrying and divination. The crystal ball acts as a focus for meditation and is a tool for clear sight and destiny foresight. Dr John Dee, occultist and adviser for Queen Elizabeth I (1527-1608), used a crystal ball for communication with the world of Spirit, on her behalf. Crystal Ball reveals ... Be clear about your intentions. Work on expanding your third eye, in order to receive messages in the form of visions from Spirit. You need to be fully aware of a situation before making decisions. Communicate clearly to others in order to avoid misunderstandings.

CHAPTER 2

'Careful What You Wish For'

Your manifesting abilities are extremely powerful right now and what you desire can easily be made into form. Monitor your thoughts very carefully because what you are thinking about, and focussing on, is about to come true. Be aware of whether your thoughts are positive or negative, because this will manifest into your reality. Being aware of everything that flows through your mind and being conscientious is key to bringing about all that is good for you, and all others. What is it that you really want to draw into your life, and what would you rather not? This is a good time to drown any thoughts or words that do not serve you into the wishing well that has presented itself to you on this page. Now focus on all that you would like to come about, for the highest good. Be mindful as you throw your wishes, like coins, into the water in order for your dreams and aspirations to unfold and birth into your reality.

Wishing Well Revealed

Nordic myths talk of a well of wisdom called Mimir's well (Mímisbrunnr) that offered magical properties in exchange for the sacrifice of something held dear. The story expanded through European folklore and well-wishing became popular throughout. Coins were thrown into wells to appease the resident water spirits, in the hope that they would grant wishes in return. Traditions continue today at sacred wells all over the world. Wishing Well reveals ... Make a list of all that you wish to bring into your life. Focus on the good, rather than fears and worries. Cleanse your energy field. Drink more water. Eat water-based foods such as fruit and salad.

CHAPTER 3

'Count Your Blessings'

Money is not the only way to fulfil your material and other needs. The universe is wonderful at meeting your requirements, and does so in many different ways, but not necessarily in the way you would expect. You may be gifted a book that has the knowledge you have been hoping for. A meal may be cooked for you, giving you the nourishment you require or a kind smile from a stranger may come your way when you need it the most. So look around you today and recognise all the signs and gifts that abound. The more you see and appreciate all that comes, the more you will receive. Do not limit yourself by believing that supplies will only come via money, this will block all that is waiting to come to you. Many people wish to win the lottery. But what they really desire is an abundance of money. The trouble here is that this request limits how the universe can deliver. It is important to ask for what you need and then be open to receive in all ways. The universe is waiting to do just that, and deliver to you right now. Know that this is a fortuitous moment, bringing about good luck and fortune

Numbers Revealed

Numbers are used in everyday life and are the language of the universe, as Pythagoras discovered. Numerology was used by the ancients and is a great source of divination and universal information. Numbers reveals ... Return to studying. You are being helped from above with tests and exams. Do brain exercises to keep you alert. Make a list of all your blessings. Say gratitude prayers for all the good that is in your life.

CHAPTER 4

'Time and Tide Wait for No Man'

The tides of change are afoot. You are being called to realise who you are and to be it – now! No longer must you procrastinate and put off until tomorrow what should have been done yesterday. Just do it! Time to shake off all doubts and fears for it is only the bold who are rewarded the realisation of their dreams and wishes. So if you do not recognise this tide of change you will miss the boat! Do not fear facing change, it is the natural cycle of life. Take a risk, to experience and be able to offer new strength and other gifts that are waiting for you as you follow the natural flow of what the universe is offering you. You are being urged to work with the natural cycles of the Moon as you open up your natural intuitive abilities. Let go of control and you will find it easier to move forward. Stop struggling against the tide, for it is time to sail into your destiny.

Moon Revealed

Babylonian astronomers and many other ancient cultures have revered and studied the effect of the cycles of the Moon. This sacred silver light is 4.5 billion years old and is actually a mirror to the Sun, lighting our way through the darkness of night. Moon reveals ... You have past life knowledge of how to work with the Moon and its cycles. Join a Moon worship group. Make an altar dedicated to each Moon phase. Become aware of your own cycles and rhythms. You may be experiencing female gynaecological bodily changes. Go with the flow. Only do what feels naturally comfortable for you and recharge your batteries.

CHAPTER 5

'Your Past is Catching Up With You'

This message represents unfinished business. Within all relationships lie opportunities to resolve any issues, either in this life or from a previous lifetime, that you or both parties involved need to learn from. Someone from your past will soon turn up in order for you to fulfil lessons to be learned so that you, the other person, or both of you can move on from the present moment, either together or separately. The person who is coming back into your life may have been involved directly with this situation or as a catalyst which will help you with any resolutions. This is a very good omen as you are being offered the chance to reconcile any differences that have formed so that you may move on, taking with you peace and harmony into your future. At this time you are being asked to read between the lines. It is very important that instead of being ruled by judgement, as you can quite often be accused of doing, you should recognise the true blessing in this reunion.

Tea Leaves Revealed

Ancient Greeks, the Middle Eastern tribes and nomadic gypsies used this popular form of divination by reading people's fortunes from the leaves left in tea cups. Tea ceremonies still exist today in Japan as a Zen ritual that aims to remove the ego from the action. Tea Leaves reveals ... Learn the ancient art of reading tea leaves. Investigate your ancestry to discover your gypsy blood. Make welcome that person you have avoided recently. Avoid drinking caffeine and switch to fruit or herbal teas.

CHAPTER 6

'A Bolt from the Blue'

You got it! This is your 'Aha' moment! You have been asking for something for a long time now and finally the answer and solution are about to hit you – just like that! Too often you have dismissed direct divine guidance, mistaking it for your own thoughts which you have then analysed and pushed to the back of your mind. It is time for you to realise your natural claircognizant (clear knowing) abilities and know that this is how you receive your messages from Spirit. Accepting your gift will enable you to clearly understand and recognise the next step required. The universe has been waiting for you to claim your talent and to embrace the guidance that you have so readily ignored. It is time to acknowledge your divinely inspired ideas and believe in yourself. Like a firework display, your ideas will be lit up like a beacon and sparks will really fly to make you finally sit up and take notice. This will illuminate your way as you follow and trust what guidance you have been given.

Lightning Revealed

Thunder and lightning bolts are thought to be divine weapons and symbols of the Gods' dominion over the elements. Zeus, the king of the Greek pantheon, and Thor, of Germanic mythology, are among the Gods who utilise lightning for removing obstacles and for regeneration. Lightning reveals ... You will be receiving an idea that must not be ignored. The right pathway for you will be beckoning. Be the light and allow your soul to shine. An unexpected situation will arise – be ready to embrace it. See the good in all things and you shall receive abundantly.

CHAPTER 7

'Better Late Than Never'

It is about time that you put yourself before others. When are you going to realise that you cannot heal the world until you are in fact healed first? For too long you have been concerned for others and have neglected your own needs. Stop! Take time to pamper yourself and have some 'me time'. For centuries it has been ingrained in us to put others first and ourselves last. This, sadly, is the opposite of how we and the world heals. Loving and nurturing ourselves first, before all others, enables us to stand in wholeness and balance, giving us the strength and ability to help others, without draining our own life-force energy. When we are healed and whole our world becomes the same, healed and whole. When this is understood then it is 'healing mastery'. An easy, but effective affirmation for you to say each day is: 'I am healed and whole. I am healed and whole. I am healed and whole.'

Earth Revealed

Herodotus realised that all known names for the Earth are feminine such as Kali Ma, Shakti, Gaia and Erda to name but a few. The tenet 'as above, so below' refers to the Sky being the father and the Earth the mother – the place of our birth, our home that feeds us, nurtures us, supports us and gives us all we need to survive. Earth reveals ... Healing is important for you right now. Take time out to rest and nurture yourself. Remember to stay grounded. You are being called to be environmentally aware. Join an environmental group. Recycle and respect the natural world. Connect with and discover the healing benefits of the elemental kingdom.

CHAPTER 8

'Swimming Against the Tide'

Stop trying to be the hero! This is one situation that you cannot save. You are using up energy on something that will never go the way you intend it to, no matter how hard you try. This is the one time you are being asked to back down and give it up – let go. As you stop trying to swim against the strong current you will find that instead of drowning, as you appear to be, life will become so much easier for you. Instead of struggling you will find that people, situations and what you desire will all flow to you naturally. From the moment you stop trying to control what you 'think' should be, then all will fall nicely into place. So, back off and just go with the flow and chill out. You will find that it is less effort and that you can use all that new and spare energy to invest in what you really enjoy. Allow it all to come to you and relax, for once in your life. For the moment you do, it will happen effortlessly. So stop the chattering of the mind, take a deep breath and just 'be'.

Salmon Revealed

The salmon was one of the most sacred creatures to the ancient Celts. The salmon teaches us that to gain wisdom and knowledge we have to return to our roots to spawn and regenerate from what we have learnt along the way. Salmon advocates rising above all the limitations that have been set in order to stop us from reaching our destiny. Salmon reveals ... You have been struggling lately. If something doesn't feel right then trust your intuition. Stop and take stock of where your life is heading. Follow the direction that feels right for you. Take time out to pray and meditate. Rise above any problems and see the bigger picture.

CHAPTER 9

'A Lucky Break'

Your patience has paid off and you are to be rewarded! It may have seemed that you have waited for an age to bring about your desires, and many would have given up by now. By not negating all that you wished for, you have made manifest a wonderful outcome. You kept going, never giving up – a fabulous feat not many can claim! What you have been waiting for is finally coming. This will happen in ways that you didn't dream were possible. So just relax, knowing that everything has been taken care of. Now is the time to be in a loving state of receiving. All that has been prepared for you behind the scenes, whilst you were thinking positively and expectantly, is to become a reality for you now. Don't try to second guess how this will happen, as it could block the speed at which it comes through. Instead be open to receiving with gratitude as your dreams come true. Congratulations!

Wishbone Revealed

The Etruscans believed that fowl were soothsayers. After sacrificing the sacred bird, the Etruscans laid its wishbone in the sunshine to dry. This tradition was handed down to the Romans who then passed it on to the British who still, to this day, enjoy pulling the wishbone of a cooked chicken in two as they make a wish. Whoever receives the biggest part of the bone has their wish granted. Wishbone reveals ... You have been wishing too hard for something. Relax and allow the universe to deliver. Use daily affirmations to bring about good fortune. Say prayers and wishes for yourself and others. Think of yourself in positive ways.

CHAPTER 10

'Don't Turn a Blind Eye'

Open your eyes, time to wake up! Enough is enough. You have been stumbling through the darkness as though you have not wanted to see the light of truth that has tried to beam its way into your life. This is why this message has come to you now, to serve as a warning. There is a situation or a person in your life that does not serve your highest purpose. There is a lack of ethics here, even though they, or the situation, are being painted as righteous with rather saintly principles. All is not what it seems and deep down you actually know who, or what, this is but have chosen to ignore it. It may be all well and good wishing for harmony by not rocking the boat, but you must at least acknowledge the alarm bells that have been ringing within you. You know full well that this situation does not resonate with your own truth and integrity.

Eye Revealed

The eye is referred to as the window of the soul. In many cultures and traditions the eye represents the 'all-seeing eye' of protection and represents the 'God' within. Eye reveals ... You are not allowing yourself to see the full truth. You like to see the good in everyone. You trust too easily. Investigate carefully before you make a decision. See yourself through another's eyes, in order to understand them. Do not be quick to make judgement. See only love within everyone. Look past any chaos to see perfect Divine order. Focus on opening your third eye chakra, to enable clear visions from Spirit. See the beauty within yourself and others.
