Tonight On The Ænigma Project – Haunted Artifacts

The Ænigma Project – Mondays 9 PM EST

The Ænigma Project Mondays 9 PM EST
On TenacityRadio.com
Get Your Tinfoil Hat and Join Us Live!

The Ænigma Project is a discussion group focused on the realm of the supernatural, paranormal and mysterious events that sometimes take place in our lives. Through multiple view points and experiences, we seek to enlighten our listeners and elucidate that which has become hidden beneath the many layers of misunderstanding and fear.

Join creator Paul Cagle with co-hosts Sushi and Springwolf for our discussion this week:

08/20 Haunted Paintings
Is it possible for a painting or photograph to physically move, or for the scene to just… change? Can the subject of a painting come and go of its own free will, like the magical paintings in Harry Potter? Who was the Crying Boy and why did undamaged copies of this painting appear frequently amidst the ruins of burned houses?

You can listen online and join in the chat room to share your perspective or ask questions for the panel to contemplate and address. Or you can check out the may ways you can listen on the go, at home, at work or in your car. Simply go to the app that allows you to stream the show and search for Tenacity Radio, then save it as a favorite.

We always have a lot of fun! And we’d love to have you with us.

If you miss the show, you can listen on the Tenacity Radio Archives for the The Ænigma Project (look for 08/13/2012 Police and Psychics), or visit the The Ænigma Project blog for links to iTunes and more ways you can listen to past shows.

Help Us Help Others

We received another donation this week and we wanted to say thank you to those who have helped us so far. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel for your compassion and caring.

Even if you can’t help with financial support, you can help in other ways. By sharing our campaign page on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ you’re helping us to get recognized, and you’re helping us to get featured on Indiegogo’s home page! THAT would help GREATLY!

We offer consultation and counseling services for rape victims, women and families of abuse, and those in crisis. We have been asked to provide these services for those who are shut-ins from illness, tragedy or trauma, who are out of state, and for military personnel stationed around the U.S and overseas. Each of these requests are asking for help from people who believe in what they believe in and see the world through the same spiritual concepts and approaches as they do. Help Us Help Others is our campaign to fulfill that request, especially for our military men and women who give so much for those of us back home.

I wish we could say “we’re almost there”, but we’re a long way from it. With 74 Days left in our campaign we have only reached 1/10th of our goal. But we’re still going and ever so thankful for all the help we have gotten so far.

When I first researched this approach to funding our project I read several articles about the emotion that goes into these campaigns. Boy are they right in that. It’s hard to remember the campaign isn’t a reflection of the acceptance of an individual or a business or even an individual cause. But each time you check your campaign and see that a donation was made you get a sudden burst of excitement and joy. Consequently, when you check your campaign day after day and see no movement, you get discouraged and you think “no one likes me/us/what we’re doing”. The sentence is different depending on the person you’re talking to.

Here’s where it gets hard being the boss of your own business. You can’t take things like this personally; at all. It’s business, nothing more. And you have to keep up a “brave” face for those who work with you, to keep them motivated and encouraged. Sometimes living the walk you talk isn’t easy, but it does get your though both the good and the bad times that everyone faces. No matter who you are, everyone needs a little pep talk now and then. There’s nothing wrong with giving yourself a pep talk.

Our campaign is simply trying to Help Us Help Others. Help us keep hope alive for shut-ins and the military who have requested our services for consultation and counseling on Skype & iPad’s Face to Face. Won’t you Help A Little To Help A Lot?

Whither you simply share our campaign page, or make a donation we really appreciate your support. And don’t forget if you can provide a monetary gift we do have something to give you as a thank you. Get a free personal reading from ME. Check our Perks page to learn about the different readings you can receive. You might even be able to receive a Face to Face tarot reading on our new technology!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Justice

Aug17

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Justice may cover her eyes to avoid visual perspectives that cloud her judgement, but that doesn’t mean she’s blind to the games being played. Don’t be afraid to weld your sword and make a path to see what’s really going on. You may need both sides of the story before you make your ultimate choice to balance the scales you hold in your hands.

Additional Insight:

Remember there are always three parts to every story, your side, their side and the truth. You may need to take off the rose colored glasses and see things for what they are, not what you want them to be. They may not be as bad as you have expected. Sometimes what you want isn’t what we need. And you may already know that what you want has a negative downside. Sometimes we have to give something up in order to attain what we need. That may mean walking away, or it may mean accepting the truth about what’s really going on.

Don’t let your emotions rule your vision. Think things through, gather intelligence from varying sources, get to the heart of the matter and see what can be resolved first. Your decision will be made easier for you, but you need to make it with a clear head, the right intent and a full understanding of the story..not a small piece of it.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Six of Wands – Inverted

Aug16

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Sit in the shade and be patient. You’ll be having a party soon, hanging from the rafters and holding the prize. Simply keep your cups turned right side up to catch the magik that is flowing around you at this time. You may not see it, but things are moving and working in your favor! Don’t give up!!

Additional Insight:

It’s been a tough road for the past 6 months and there has been much infighting that has taken its toll on your emotions and health. But don’t give up now! It’s almost over and you will be the one holding the prize in the end.

Keep your focus, don’t let your nemesis derail your actions and force you into quitting. Doing so will give them all the control over your future and the direction of your path. Stay empowered by connecting to your Divine inner self, the Great Divine Universe and the energy of Divine Creation!

Close your eyes, take in three deep cleansing breaths and see your silver cords move from your solar plexus, up your spine and down your spine simultaneously. See these energy cords travel through space and time, one connecting to the center of the Earth’s core and the other traveling into the depths of the Divine Universe. Next visualize the energy of Mother Earth traveling up your cord as a yellow light that energizes your physical being gently and completely. Visualize the white light of the Divine Universe attaching itself to your higher cord, traveling down to energize your spirit. See these lights of energy fill your mind/body/spirit like water pouring into magikal chalice that is YOU. As it does, it cleanses your body and soul; pushing out the stress, anxiety and negativity from within. See this negative energy as a gray smoke easily leaving your presence and traveling into the ethereal realm where it will be dissipated and no longer cause harm to anyone. Hold this vision for a minute or two, thank the Divine presence in your life and then go about your day with the knowledge that as long as you need it, that energy will continue to feed your day.

With your focus and the empowerment of the Divine in your life, you can and will conquer anything! I saw a great message for this card today: “If you’re tired of starting over, stop giving up!” ~ Anonymous

The Correspondence Of This and That

Aug15

The Meaning Behind Correspondence Lists

Think For Yourself

People have been making associations between all sorts of things in life, in spirit, and in nature, for thousands of years. Partly because of the belief that all things are connected and interconnected. Partly because humans want to believe that there’s meaning behind everything that happens. Therefore it makes sense that some things work together, in a similar manner, in a supportive direction, or for a common purpose. But why are there so many contradictory lists?

Why do some people say a black cat is bad luck and others say it’s a good omen? Why do some people say red is anger and others see it as passion? Why do some insist that the cardinal direction for North represents Divine Energy and others insist that the Divine is located in the East?

The answer is pretty easy actually and we can thank Einstein for putting it in scientific terms. Everything is relative to location.

Your location in the world, the evolution of the culture you live in, the history of your society, even the spiritual beliefs practiced in your region can all play a part in defining a list of correspondences that may come across your path. Simply put, how you relate to the world around you and how you feel connected to the “this or that” in your life, all depends on where you are and the beliefs you choose to follow.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Judgement – Inverted

Aug15

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Use your good judgement and listen to your gut feelings. Others are trying to pull the wool over your eyes, but they’re using a sheer cloth to do it. Though they are failing miserably and you can easily see through their game, stay vigilant and manage your reactions with clarity instead of anger. Remember it’s your horn that calls to the world and brings success or failure. Don’t give in to their attacks, misinformation or lies. Your wings can reflect the peace and care of the compassionate world and help you to control your responses. Listen to your intuition and choose the right path for your future.

Additional Insight:

Even though others are playing games and acting irresponsibly doesn’t mean you have to do the same. Their emotions are buried too deep into the fight and they aren’t seeing clearly what’s really going on. The veil they are hiding behind is coloring their judgement and causing them to react instead of being pro-active.

You don’t have to play their game and allow your emotions to get the best of you. You have the Divine Spirit behind you and guiding your path. Do what you can to remain calm and listen to this higher guidance. Trust your gut instincts and set forth your response and plans in a pro-active manner instead of with knee jerk reactions.

Use your compassion and concern for the well being of others to let some of their petty attacks slide off you. They’re simply trying to get you onto their playing field. Show care for those caught up in the fight at no fault of their own. You may be able to use their assistance in the coming months.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Seven of Wands – Inverted

Aug14

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Caution is the focus of the day. Be careful how others are trying to appease you. They’re working to stab you in the back at the same time. Trust your instincts and remind them the fire that burns within you, is right under the surface and ready to be released when needed. Make sure you have all your bases covered. Don’t get into the battle and discover you missed something and you might be outflanked. Consider all possibilities, even those that may not seem likely.

Additional Insight:

Even though it maybe two against one, you have the power and strength on your side. And besides, one of the two simply doesn’t have their heart in the fight. Focus on the main adversary and don’t underestimate them! They may not have the where-with-all to succeed, but they’re not acting in a vacuum. They have advice from others as well.

Take the time to consider every possibility and every angle, even if you don’t think they have the ability to think those through. If you can think about them, so can someone else.

Wands hold the essence of Enterprise, Inspiration, Distinction and Creativity. Use this time to focus on your inspiration and creativity to expand your view of the battlefield. Be prepared for anything and you will succeed and win this battle. It may not turn out exactly as you intended, but it should bring you the right amount of inspiration to create what you need and desire.

A Reiki Master’s Hanko Seal

Aug13

My Personal Hanko

A Personal Symbol of Empowerment

In Japan, seals in general are referred to as inkan or hanko. The first evidence of writing in Japan is a hanko dating from AD 57, made of solid gold and belonging to the Emperor. At first, only the Emperor and his most trusted vassals held a hanko seal, as they were a symbol of the Emperor’s authority. Noble people began using their own personal hanko after 750 AD, and the Samurai began using them sometime in the Middle Ages. At the time, the Samurai were permitted exclusive use of red ink for their hanko impressions. Modernization of these seals began in 1870, and the hanko finally came into general use throughout Japanese society.

Traditionally, inkan and hanko are engraved on the end of a finger-length stick of stone, wood, bone, or ivory, with a diameter between 25 and 75 millimeters (1 and 3 in). Their carving is a form of calligraphic art. The most common form of this calligraphic art is the Japanese Kanji — the Chinese script.

They are still used in Asia for professional and personal purposes. Most requiring registration with local government offices much like a trademark. Continue reading →

Learning From Hardship – Sing your own song!

Carole Bourdo – “Wolf Song”

Yesterday I allowed my 9 year old to play on my computer. That turns out to have been a mistake. About an hour into his foray of watching some lego video, he receives a message over the browser window. Instead of reading it and asking his dad or me about it, he clicked a button and went on with his video. Something he has been told NOT to do. And he discovered the reason…he infected my computer with a pretty nasty virus!

Thankfully both Daddy and I are IT geeks. But my IT skills are more related to mainframes and corporate servers, than desk top computers. Thankfully Daddy is the desktop King. It took the entire day from about 10am to midnight to fully correct the infection and ensure everything was ok, running right and safe again. With a few extra checks and tweaks this morning, my laptop is virus free and more tightly secured. Which includes not allowing our little Prince to touch my laptop again!

So..what’s the point to this story…While the King was fixing my machine I let go of that nervous irritated energy by doing some spring cleaning. Which involved turning the cushions over on the couches and the chair I like to sit in with my laptop. When you have a 9 year old, it’s a good idea to vacuum under the cushions once a month. In my chair I found enough miniature legos to build a robot. Along with two pencils, a pen and Oh My Stars! 3 cards from Faery Tarot Deck! I didn’t even know they were missing! Continue reading →
