Working With A Witch

(Thursday, January 22, 2026)

I have asked for Edie the Herbalist to enter my dreams again. A woman whose appearance and personality match Edie was in my dream this morning. Dark hair, a bit stern. She is in charge of a large, circular area, perhaps being viewed from inside a building. I need help and I ask if I can work with her. Get a job. She agrees. I am worried that if Chris and Cullan join me and live in the workspace I will lose our house. So they stay home.

My contact with “Edie” is in the southwest end of the circle, which makes me think of the quarterly sections of medicine wheels. It is the lower left (southwest) side of my brain that is in decline.

Day notes:

Work to do. I had my first electronic acupuncture treatment today. I am trying to contact a particular neurologist at the Mayo who guides a staff of thirteen doctors at the Brain Adaptation and Stimulation Lab. The lab focuses on epilepsy and seizures, so perhaps they will not allow me to meet with them. Edgar Cayce, send me a blessing!

I have a Zoom meeting soon with a coordinator at Northwestern (named Elizabeth). I am planning to join one of their studies for PPA (aphasia). Every two years I will need to go to Chicago and stay for four days. They will pay my hotel rental and other expenses.

Synchronicity: Capricorn

(Sunday, January 18, 2026)

In December, shortly after Cullan lost his job, I did the tarot reading that I posted on this website (three of pentacles, King of Wands, King of Pentacles). I think of the King of Pentacles as the zodiac sign of Capricorn, which is Cullan’s sun sign. Early last Monday morning, when I first opened my iPhone, a photo showed up of Wyn and Oona cheering with their arms reaching high into the sky. An hour later, Cullan received an offer for the first job he had applied for. He got his new job in the month of Capricorn.

Yesterday I received a long, beautiful email from astrologist Deborah O. about the new moon in Capricorn. At the top of her newsletter was a photo she had taken of the Tor in holy, magical Glastonbury. I replied to her and included images of the clay Tor I created a few years ago.

Synchronicity: Two Dreamers Sharing A Theme And Boys Playing Ball

(Saturday, January 17, 2026)

Last Monday I attended both of my dream groups. At Susan’s afternoon get-together I shared “A Lucid Dream Within A Dream And Future Generations.” A large part of that dream is about ancestry. In the evening Jeanne G. shared her dream, which was also about ancestors. I have been having ancestry dreams lately.

The third part of the dream I worked on with Susan’s team: “A large group of young boys are playing together, laughing and throwing a ball. I worry a bit that they will throw it too hard and hit Wyn, and I put my arm around one of the young athletes to give him a quiet warning: ‘Be careful.’ A father thinks I am too anxious about the game.” Yesterday I found out Wyn’s basketball season is cancelled because of ICE. It did feel like the boys were playing basketball in the dream. Wyn’s coach is the father of one of his close friends.
