I am a sculptor of clay animals and those luminous hybrid creatures that sometimes appear in our dreams, if we are lucky and if we are paying attention. The slow process of hand-building something from clay can really deepen the visitation of a dream. I have faithfully tended these wondrous images, transcribing them to journals since I was in my early 20s.

Journal: Gifts

(Wednesday, August 13, 2025)

An astrology YouTuber I often listen to talked about the Venus/Jupiter conjunction at 14 degrees of Cancer, which occurred on August 12. My ascendant is at 13 degrees Cancer so I wondered if it would have a financial benefit for me. This weekend I got my biggest Mayo payment (from the phase 1 study) and yesterday I got an email from the state. I applied for an e-bike rebate offered by Minnesota and it was approved! $750 toward my e-bike, yay! Cullan is going to help me shop.

This morning I noticed another video, this one by an English doctor I like, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee. He says journaling at least 5 minutes per day benefits your brain.

Memory: Dream From Cullan’s Childhood

(Monday, August 11, 2025) waning gibbous moon Pisces / tarot ace of cups / oracle Grace

When Cullan was very young, past toddler age, maybe kindergarten time, I seemed to have had a past-life dream: he was a librarian at the ancient Hall of Records. Edgar Cayce said that refugees from Atlantis built the Hall of Records at Giza to preserve their knowledge. Cayce’s readings said that Atlantis was destroyed around 10,500 BC, and that the Hall of Records will eventually be rediscovered.

A day after that dream, Cullan was sobbing about the little library in his bedroom. The books were not organized in their normal order. They were askew.

Day notes:

It seems important this memory of nearly 40 years ago came up after the dramatic and heart-breaking event outside of the Sheehan family reunion.

At the time of this dream, I had no idea I would visit Virginia Beach twice, and the A.R.E. (the Association for Research and Enlightenment). Bonnie and I had past-life readings there. Mine was about ancient Persia.

I just watched a great two hour video with the new CEO of the A.R.E., lawyer Christoper Naughton (on the New Thinking Allowed channel). He is highly inspiring.

Synchronicity: Spiders

(Friday, August 8, 2025)

I am reading a book called “A Witch’s Natural History.” It is about nature and witchcraft, written by a brilliant English poet named Giles Watson. I sat on the porch reading the first chapter, “The Unfamiliar Spiders.” A rep walked by on my driveway and asked if we had mice or spiders in the house (a pest removal company). I said no mice and only spiders in the basement. Giles wrote about the importance of witches keeping creatures alive. I told the rep no need for my spiders to be terminated.
