We should realize in a vivid and revolutionary sense that we are not in our bodies but our bodies are in us.
—Ruth St. Denis, (January 20, 1879 – July 21, 1968) was a modern dance pioneer, introducing eastern ideas into the art.

Lapis Lazuli
A very old stone, first mined 6500 years ago and once considered more valuable than gold. It is a visionary stone, a stone of self-knowledge and reflection. It helps us understand ourselves and gain clearer perspective on our lives, our abilities, our motivations, and beliefs. It activates the third eye, enhancing intuition and psychic abilities and helping us access spiritual guidance. It is a wind element stone, enhancing our intellect and desire for truth and understanding, making it easier to learn. It is helpful during meditation, inward journeys, and attaining higher awareness. Hold a piece of lapis in your hand and feel the connection to the starry night.

Doing some spring cleaning this weekend? Sweeping, mopping, dusting and organizing are all great (and necessary) but don’t forget about energetic spring cleaning too!
Some ideas for energetically clearing your space:
-Open the windows and doors and give your space a thorough smudging, either with traditional desert sage or Smokeless Smudge spray
- Light some purifying incense (our Fresh Start or Lavender & Copal blend are a good choices)
-Place some crystals near doors and windows for home protection, prosperity and to create a loving atmosphere
- Put some purifying essential oils in your diffuser
-Light some bee’s wax candles to help clean the air

The Empress
She is the embodiment of the archetypal Earth Mother, the feminine principle and a goddess of fertility in all of its many forms.
She calls us to create beauty in our lives. The Empress signals abundance, nurturing ourselves and others and deep joy.

Doing a little spring cleaning? Come to Wonderworks and make it a spring cleansing!!!
The Two of Pentacles suggests that there are many ‘balls in the air’ or elements that must be kept in balance despite turbulent surroundings.The infinity symbol symbolizes the ebb and flow of the universe or personal situations. The water in the background represents the tide of emotions in everyday life. Interestingly, while the character in the card masterfully juggles what seems like the whole universe, she/he is dancing. In other words, this card tells us that keeping everything running smoothly requires both calm determination and a sense of humor.
