Budapest's (Dianic Wicca) rituals for summoning the conductors of luck combine sensuality and joy with reverence for the unknown ... This charming book shows readers how rituals and faith can lead us inward to find the wisdom and goodness of the Goddess in our own lives. - Publishers Weekly

Women Healers & Women's Spirituality

I've just finished updating the Womenz.net website. In case you don't know what that website is all about, let me give you a quick overview.

I started this website to be a consortium of Women Healers in all their aspects.

There are three of us who are Master Herbalists - Debra St. Claire, Kisma Stepanich and myself, Bobbie Grennier. We also all work together at the Herbal College.

Angie Miranda is an incredible hands-on healer who does massage and foot detox in the South Bay Area of Northern California.

Z Budapest is the founding mother of the feminist Women's Spirituality Movement and also does a variety of healing modalities.

This is a strog collective of women who focus their energies on helping others. I  hope you visit Womenz.net and read more about each of them ... and do contact them, as they would love that.

Shekhinah Mountainwater

I wanted to write in remembrance, and share with you about the Shekhinah Mountainwater I knew, ... then, now and forever.

I knew Shekhinah Mountainwater for some 17 years plus. We moved in and out of each other's lives over the years, but always we held a deep love for each other. Shekhinah is like that. She waxed and waned like the living goddess she was.

Read the rest of my memorial for Shekhinah Mountainwater at Z Budapest's website.

I built a new Psychic Readings blog for my friend Jane Doherty who is  a world famous psychic.  You can read about Jane on the blog.

So, I thought I'd post ... if anyone's intersted in getting a pyschic reading from Jane Doherty, just leave a comment on the blog and I'll get you a special pricing with her.

What are bio-identical hormones?

Hormones are molecules derived from cholesterol which the body synthesizes and are generally secreted by endocrine glands (such as pancreas, ovaries, pituitary glands) or specialized cells of the body.

Hormones are the chemical communicators for the body and have specific regulatory effects on activities of organs throughout the body.

Bio-identical hormones are "human-identical", i.e., they fit into their designated receptor sites (like a key fitting into a lock) as specifically designed by nature.

This is contrary to non-bio-identical hormones, which do not have an exact fit when bound to a receptor site, which accounts for their varying effects on different target organs and much more frequent side effects.

WOMEN BLOG: TEST FOR SMART PEOPLE

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a professional. Scroll down for each answer. The questions are NOT that difficult. But don't move to the next question UNTIL you have answered the previous question!

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

The correct answer is: open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

Did you say, open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator door?

Wrong answer.

Correct answer: open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend....except one. Which animal does not attend?

Correct answer: the elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests your memory.

Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?

Correct answer: you jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Lion King animal conference. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old.

Psychic Gut Instincts For Psychic Readings and Ghost Hunts

Jane Doherty is a real psychic with a quirky gut instinct for psychic readings and paranormal ghost investigations, but what makes Jane’s psychic investigations so interesting is that her gut, her stomach, actually participates.

Psychic Jane has followed her gut instincts for hundreds of séances, psychic readings and ghost investigations over the past two decades. She currently works with the cable channel TLC for their Dead Tenants TV show.

In each episode, Jane and a small team of paranormal investigators, called PRS, are introduced to a different family that has experienced some sort of ghostly, paranormal odd happenings in their home.

Psychic Jane moves through the family’s home in the wee hours of the morning in search of ghosts. And when she finds them, Jane works to help the ghosts “depending on the ghost situation of the house.”

“In almost every episode there’s a skeptic in the family. And one of our goals is to see a change in the skeptic,” Jane said. The cameras roll the entire time Jane conducts her three day ghost investigation with the PRS team.

“One of the recent ghost investigations we did, it’s one of the funnier moments, because when you get to the séance and the spirit comes through another person … the one man was so taken back and became a believer,” she said with a chuckle. “He said he started going to church.”

Psychic Jane also saw her first book, “Awakening the Mystic Gift: The Surprising Truth About What it Means to Be Psychic,” publish last February. The book is Jane’s memoir and it explains that psychic ability is really just a sort of sensory input most people ignore.

“Everyone has a psychic antenna,” Doherty claims, “even if they don’t pay attention to what they’re picking up. In other words, everyone is psychic to some degree. Everybody truly has this, and I believe God gave us this tool to have a better life … so we make decisions based on guidance, and not just emotions.”

Psychic Jane Doherty, 58, was born and raised in South Plainfield, New Jersey. Jane grew up Catholic, but she doesn’t think her beliefs about psychic ability and faith in God are mutually exclusive. She doesn’t read cards or use other kinds of “magic” tricks. Instead, she feels her way through a situation by waiting for images to come and following her instincts.

And then there’s her stomach, the barometer she uses to indicate the presence of spirits. When ghosts are around Jane’s stomach will expand instantly up to as much as six inches.

“What does happen to me is an unusual phenomenon. When I’m near spirit phenomena, my stomach expands like I’m nine months pregnant,” she said. “It expands right away and it is very painful when it happens.”

Skeptics often are handed a measuring tape and invited to check her waistline for themselves. Doherty laughs as she explains the reason she probably was chosen for the TLC series.

“They loved it because we were characters,” she said. “Can’t help but call me a character, with this expanding ghostly barometer stomach of mine.”
