  and the beautifully strange.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: Each episode invites you deeper into the spiral,
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: into the myth,

  SPEAKER_00: and into the wild magic that lives within and around all of us.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_02: Hi,
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_02: I'm Lauren,
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_02: crystal healer,
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_02: earth-rooted mystic,
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_02: and friend of snails and mossy feyfolk magic.
• 0:49
  And I'm Laura,
• 0:50
  animal communicator,
• 0:51
  serpent kinponowich,
• 0:52
  and solitary social practitioner.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_02: Hey Mythlings!
• 1:07
  Today we're diving into one of my absolute favorite tools in
• 1:10
  the magical world,
• 1:12
  pendulums.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_02: How they work,
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_02: how to use them,
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_02: how they can support readings,
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_02: and how I weave them into chakra readings,
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_02: Reiki,
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_02: crystal healing sessions.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_02: If any questions should arise during this episode,
• 1:25
  you can send them to us at mysticspiralpodcast at gmail.com and
• 1:30
  we will answer them
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_02: in the next episode.
• 1:33
  Now I get to ask all of the questions people are too shy to ask
• 1:36
  in the shop.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: So buckle up or like gently sway with us.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_02: So let's start simple.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_02: A pendulum is basically a weight on a chain.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_02: It could be a crystal, metal, wood, bone, whatever calls to you.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_02: But magically, it's a translator.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_02: It takes the subtle shifts in your energy field,
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_02: your intuition,
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_02: your nervous system,
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_02: and turns them into movement.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: So it's not some outside spirit puppeteering the chain.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 2:06
  It's you,
• 2:06
  your deeper knowing,
• 2:07
  speaking in a language your conscious mind can see.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: Like a body-based truth detector.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, a tiny oracle that swings.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: Okay,
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: so let's talk readings,
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: because I've watched you do this,
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: and it looks like pure magic in the best way.
• 2:21
  Right,
• 2:22
  so when I use a pendulum in a reading,
• 2:23
  I'm usually doing one of three things.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_02: Clarifying something,
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_02: Could be for a client or something intuition already brought up.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_02: Checking energetic alignment, like is this the right direction?
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_02: Or helping a client choose between options they're overwhelmed with.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: And you're fast.
• 2:44
  Like you ask a question and that thing starts swinging like
• 2:46
  it's excited to answer.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_02: Well, pendulums love clarity.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_02: If your question is clean, the movement is clean.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: If your question is muddy, the movement will be muddy as well.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: So the pendulum is basically calling you out.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: Constantly.
• 3:03
  Pendulums work best with yes or no or binary questions,
• 3:06
  but you can get creative.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: Tell me about those little pendulum boards that I've seen you use.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_02: Ah, yeah, the boards.
• 3:13
  There's boards,
• 3:15
  charts,
• 3:15
  chakra maps,
• 3:16
  even pieces of paper with options written on it.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_02: The pendulums will hover over or swing towards the answer.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: So it's not limiting.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's actually a way to organize intuition.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: It gives you structure to the unseen.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_02: There's a plethora of boards,
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_02: books,
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_02: things that are already created out there,
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_02: but you can also create your own board if you'd like,
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_02: or even create a,
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_02: something on a piece of paper that you can use too.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like the way I've used pendulums in the past is so limited.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: You're opening up a whole new world for me.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: Is there a difference between using boards and charts?
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yes and no.
• 3:53
  So like the boards usually have a set of things like yes,
• 3:59
  no,
• 3:59
  rephrase,
• 4:00
  maybe.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_02: We can get into spirit boards a little later on.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_02: Those are a little more complicated.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_02: But the charts are usually a little more intense in a way.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_02: They're more structured.
• 4:14
  So like a specific set of things will be on a chart opposed to
• 4:19
  a board,
• 4:19
  which is usually just
• 4:22
  like I said yes no rephrase maybe a little bit more user
• 4:25
  friendly exactly so like
• 4:27
  charts are more in depth so you can do ones like a chakra chart
• 4:31
  or you could do a
• 4:33
  moon phase chart or I mean there's endless possibilities like a
• 4:40
  moon phase chart
• 4:41
  for example maybe you want to do spell work on a specific day
• 4:45
  of the phases of the
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_02: moon but you don't know which one
• 4:48
  You could utilize a moon phase chart to see which day or which
• 4:53
  phase the moon would
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_02: work best for that spell.
• 4:57
  It sounds like there's a lot of room for personalization and
• 4:59
  creativity with charts.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_02: You could do, like I said, you can do a chart on anything.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_02: You could do color therapy.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_02: You could do a ley line chart.
• 5:10
  So like if you wanted to move somewhere and you didn't know
• 5:12
  where you could make a
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_02: chart up of like different places that you would like to move to.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_02: and it could help you intuit where it would be best for you.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: So pendulums can help you with anything.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 5:26
  This is the part people always ask about because you're known
• 5:29
  for incorporating
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: your pendulum in energy work and in readings.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, this is where pendulums become a helpful tool, energy tool.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_02: When I do Reiki or crystal healing, I check the chakras in your body.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_02: I won't go into too much detail about chakras at the moment.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_02: I'll save that for our next episode.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_02: But essentially, chakras are spinning energy centers in your body.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_02: I hold the pendulum over each energy center and watch how it moves.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: And the movement tells you what's going on?
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, exactly.
• 5:59
  So for example,
• 6:00
  if it spins wide and strong,
• 6:02
  the chakra is open and flowing.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_02: If it's barely moving, that center is blocked or depleted.
• 6:08
  If it's swinging erratically,
• 6:10
  there's probably an emotional turbulence or old stories
• 6:13
  surfacing.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_02: It can also show me which direction the chakra is spinning.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_02: They naturally spin clockwise depending on what's happening in your life,
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_02: but sometimes they spin counterclockwise as well.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_02: And you don't force anything.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_02: You just witness?
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 6:31
  The pendulum shows me where to bring crystals,
• 6:33
  Reiki,
• 6:34
  sound,
• 6:34
  or grounding energy.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_02: It's like a diagnostic tool, but gentle and intuitive.
• 6:39
  Didn't you do your chakra readings at the Springfield Central
• 6:42
  Library recently?
• 6:44
  Yes,
• 6:44
  I did chakra pendulum readings,
• 6:46
  which are different than using them in an energy session.
• 6:51
  So you can tell a lot from just having a chakra board and using
• 6:55
  a pendulum and
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_02: testing it to see how a person's energy feels.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_02: So for example,
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_02: for a chakra reading,
• 7:03
  I have the person place their hand palm facing up on the table
• 7:08
  and I hover my hand
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_02: over it and
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_02: tap into their energy with consent, of course.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_02: And using the pendulum and the chakra board,
• 7:19
  I test each chakra to see which one is in alignment or maybe
• 7:25
  out of alignment.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so it's really kind of intuitive.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: How would you feel about giving me a live reading?
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: Let's do this.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_02: I'll set up my pendulum and we'll get ready.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_02: Alright, I have my board set up and I have my pendulums out.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to choose one that feels right with your energy.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: That wants to work with us today.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_02: So we are working with Laura for our highest and best good.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_02: We're going to ask each chakra if they are balanced or not.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_02: And we're going to start with the root chakra.
• 8:16
  which is at the base of your your seat is Laura's root chakra
• 8:24
  balanced sorry Laura
• 8:29
  I didn't think it would be that's a no um is Laura's sacral
• 8:37
  chakra balanced
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: Is Laura's solar plexus balanced?
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_02: That looks like a hard yes.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_02: That was a yes, but it was a yes.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's still going.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: Still going.
• 8:56
  Still going.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_02: Is Laura's heart chakra balanced?
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_02: A little wobbly, but that's a yes.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_02: It thought about it.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_02: It thought about it.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_02: It thought about it.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_01: How about her throat?
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_01: Is her throat chakra balanced?
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_01: How about her third eye?
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_02: So this is a stagnant chakra.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_02: So she is not moving any which way.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_02: She is off balance, but like she's stuck.
• 9:33
  So we're going to put a little check next to the throat and a
• 9:39
  stuck one for the third eye.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_02: And then for the crown, is the crown chakra balanced?
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_02: Not too bad.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_02: Better than I thought.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_02: So we've got our root, our throat, and
• 10:01
  our third eye and our crown that are off balance so the for the
• 10:08
  root chakra roots
• 10:09
  are all about safety grounding I am safe steady and supported
• 10:17
  you know I would
• 10:18
  suggest working with for you I would do I really am called to
• 10:26
  bread jasper for you
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_02: so I'm going to write that down on your little paper here
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: Is that what the pendulum is made of?
• 10:34
  This is actually,
• 10:35
  yeah,
• 10:35
  the pendulum that I chose for you is a barriciated jasper.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_02: So it is a type of red jasper.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_02: And the little handle of this one is a type of agate.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_02: So it is very grounding and nurturing.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_02: So it was interesting that that one wanted to work with you today.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_02: I agree.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_02: And then for the throat chakra...
• 10:58
  let's see what crystal is calling out to you for the throat um
• 11:05
  blue lace agate
• 11:06
  keeps coming through so I'm gonna write that down for you to
• 11:09
  check out you know
• 11:10
  what's funny I've been thinking about blue lace agate for a
• 11:13
  couple of weeks
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: actually really don't have one what um
• 11:19
  she is blue lace agate is like really great for communication
• 11:24
  it's clarifying it is
• 11:29
  you know some people use it for spiritual communication but you
• 11:33
  can also just use
• 11:34
  it for just talking communication but it's also really soothing
• 11:40
  calming you can use
• 11:41
  it in meditation it's very gentle and nurturing animal
• 11:45
  communicators also use blue
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: lace agate as a sort of
• 11:48
  amplifier yeah absolutely you could use it for that that makes
• 11:53
  sense the most
• 11:57
  concerning one obviously is this third eye which is all about
• 12:04
  insight intuition
• 12:05
  trusting your inner knowledge staying curious you know I feel
• 12:13
  like for this one for
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_02: you
• 12:16
  I kind of need you kind of need something spicy so like I'm
• 12:20
  pretty spicy yeah I
• 12:22
  feel like maybe even who wants to come through probably oh well
• 12:30
  alright interesting
• 12:34
  alright so at first I'm just going to write both of these Lapis
• 12:39
  Lazuli came through
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: and then
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_02: As that was showing itself to me, K2 stone came through.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm wondering if the combination of those two would be helpful.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_02: Lapis is spicy in its own right.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_02: It's got that sparkly pyrite in it.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_02: It's balanced.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_02: It's kind of got that lower chakra, higher chakra combination.
• 13:09
  The K2 stone,
• 13:10
  which is also interesting that these are both multi-stones.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_02: There's multiple minerals in each of these.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_02: The K2 stone has Afghanite in it and then Azurite.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_02: And it's found in the foothills of the K2 mountain originally.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_02: And I really feel like these two together,
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_02: this combination together,
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_02: is going to be really helpful in
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_02: Kind of like setting that curiosity aflame,
• 13:39
  like allowing you to open up new doorways to something possible
• 13:46
  that you maybe use
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_02: on the prefaces.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not sure.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_02: It's like it feels like it's there, but I'm not sure what that is.
• 13:52
  But something's coming on the horizon that you need to clear
• 13:55
  the chakra for.
• 13:57
  um and the last one is the crown which is all about connection
• 14:02
  um it's the om
• 14:03
  consciousness which is um om is like the the first word the
• 14:09
  first sound ever
• 14:09
  created on earth so it carries a lot of powerful energy and
• 14:14
  that's open to new
• 14:14
  ideas you know um so kind of playing off with the last one kind
• 14:20
  of playing off the
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_02: last one um allowing goodness to surround you
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_02: allowing your connection to your higher self.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: For this one, let's see who calls to you for this one.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_00: This one is, let's see.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_02: So Tiffany Stone is coming through.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_02: It is a softer energy.
• 14:44
  It's definitely going to help you connect to your higher self
• 14:49
  and help connect your
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_02: lower chakras as well together.
• 14:55
  So basically what this reading is saying with these crystals
• 15:00
  really feels like
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_02: whatever this endeavor or project or whatever this is,
• 15:10
  we all have that moment of second-guessing ourselves and not
• 15:15
  trusting our intuition
• 15:16
  or thinking that this is stupid or silly or I shouldn't do this
• 15:21
  or whatever.
• 15:22
  But it feels more like once you acknowledge that this is
• 15:29
  correct or right or
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_02: positive or however you want to spin that,
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_02: it's all going to align into place and be perfect.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: That makes a lot of sense.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_00: And also, this went a lot better than I expected.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_02: Good.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_02: I'm glad.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_02: I'm very glad that it did.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_02: Perfect.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_02: Well, thank you for allowing me to
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_02: share this energy with you and to do this reading.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_02: And thank you, Pendulum, for being with us here today.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_02: And thank you for everyone for listening today.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you for doing the reading.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: You're so welcome.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, let's shift gears and pretend I'm new to all of this.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: I just saw you choose between three different pendulums for the reading.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_00: Why might somebody want multiple?
• 16:12
  Is there a reason someone might choose crystal versus bone or
• 16:16
  metal other than it's pretty?
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 16:19
  So I have multiple pendulums that I use for readings and
• 16:25
  separate ones that I use
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_02: for energy work.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_02: Depending on the client,
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_02: like you just saw,
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to choose which pendulum would like to work with that client.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_02: For energy work, I have a specific pendulum I use just for that.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_02: So it depends on the reading.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_02: Each reading I use a different pendulum for basically.
• 16:47
  Pertaining to the material that the pendulum is made out of
• 16:51
  some people believe
• 16:52
  that the crystal energy is going to affect the reading I don't
• 16:58
  believe that I
• 16:59
  believe that the energy is just primarily there to work with
• 17:03
  you not against you so
• 17:06
  it's not going to sway the answers in any way some people
• 17:10
  believe that using a
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_02: metal pendulum
• 17:13
  is more effective because the metal doesn't have energy,
• 17:17
  but that's also incorrect.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, metal is technically still an element.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_02: It still has its own energy, just like amethyst has its energy.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_02: So I feel like that theory is also incorrect.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_02: I personally believe that it's your own personal preference.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: Whoever you feel drawn to is who you should be using for that reading.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: And that can change from reading to reading.
• 17:41
  Also I always use selenite afterwards to clear everything so
• 17:45
  when I'm done with my
• 17:46
  pendulum I'll put it in a little selenite dish so it stays
• 17:50
  cleansed and cleared and
• 17:52
  use selenite to clear the space as well That little selenite
• 17:56
  dish is so cute Isn't
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_00: she?
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_00: I know I love her Everyone has their own little dish Alright,
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: let's pretend I just bought my first pendulum What do I do?
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_02: You would start building a relationship with it
• 18:11
  Hold it,
• 18:11
  wear it,
• 18:13
  let it learn your energy and then ask it to show you things.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_02: You want to know what your yes looks like, what your no looks like.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_02: Also, maybe what a maybe or a not now looks like or a rephrase.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_02: It's important to have these questions for each pendulum that you have.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_00: And everyone's yes and no looks different.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_02: Mine is a forward backwards swing for yes, a side to side for no.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yours might be circles.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: Mine is chaos.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_02: That is also very valid.
• 18:45
  You mentioned earlier that you can use a pendulum sort of as or
• 18:50
  with a spirit board.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_00: Tell me about that.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so you can use a pendulum with a spirit board.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_02: It's when you're setting your intention.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_02: So primarily when you're working with a pendulum.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_02: It's tapping into your higher self,
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_02: your own intuition,
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_02: the energy of you and the person you're working with.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_02: So if you are using a spirit board,
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_02: just like anything else,
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_02: you want to set the intention for your highest and best good.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_02: Who are you working with specifically?
• 19:23
  Tapping into that one spirit and obviously keeping your
• 19:28
  boundaries safe and protected.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_00: Let's talk about boundaries, because pendulums can get addictive.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, and here's the rule.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_02: Don't outsource your life to a swinging rock.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_02: Put that on a t-shirt.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_02: Actually, we should.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_02: I think we should.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_02: Actually, the idea of making merch like that would be so much fun.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_02: But getting back onto topic, pendulums are guides, not dictators.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_02: They're best for clarity, not for making every decision for you.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_00: And don't use them when you're emotionally flooded.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_02: The pendulum will just mirror you and overwhelm you.
• 20:03
  It's important to set boundaries for yourself as well,
• 20:05
  especially when you're first starting.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_02: I do have a great book for beginners, which is a little bit of pendulums.
• 20:12
  it's an introduction into pendulum divination it's by Danny
• 20:16
  Bryant and it is really
• 20:20
  sweet it's great introductory book and at the end of the book
• 20:24
  it has lots of
• 20:26
  different charts that you can utilize it also has the link
• 20:29
  spaces for charts that
• 20:30
  you can make your own circle chart with so yeah Popeye
• 20:35
  Groundings if you can and
• 20:37

• 20:55
  SPEAKER_00: Before we leave today, we're going to pull a card.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_00: Today we were called to use the Ciccoli Oracle by Nicoletta Ciccoli.
• 21:01
  As a friendly reminder,
• 21:02
  please take what resonates with you and leave the rest.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_02: Perfect.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_02: Let's knock three times and shuffle this deck.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_02: Oops, a little sassy today.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: This is a pretty sassy deck.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_00: It is a sassy deck.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_02: It's one of my favorite oracles.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_00: The artwork is so unique and it's so cute.
• 21:29
  it is it's like uh like kind of like uh Alice in Wonderland
• 21:33
  yeah I don't know sad
• 21:36
  girl oh all right who do we got here we've got like it looks
• 21:46
  like the queen of a
• 21:47
  chess board and she's got like little chess pieces around her
• 21:52
  and a fly it looks
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_02: like
• 21:54
  she's kind of wrapped in a chessboard kind of pattern too she
• 21:58
  is like her dress
• 21:58
  itself is a chessboard as well all right let's see what the
• 22:03
  message is today
• 22:07
  today's card is passivity it's okay to let others fight your
• 22:11
  battles for you now
• 22:12
  and then you can't be the best at everything after all but
• 22:16
  don't surrender your
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_02: free will to someone else in exchange for security
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_02: Letting someone else handle all your problems gives away your power.
• 22:26
  There will come a time when you struggle against the bonds of
• 22:29
  passive observation
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_02: and long for more independence.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_02: Perhaps that time has already arrived.
• 22:36
  You aren't helpless in the situation,
• 22:38
  however tempting it may be to pretend so.
• 22:44
