Definitely a subject for meditation

[kimberlysteele]

When I asked "Should they go down the astrological road?" My Ogham say No, and they give me Onn (Gorse) or Community. They seem to be saying that you might fit in better with a different community, which means that another form of divination (and the spirits, gods, and people who revolve around it) might suit you better. I myself study astrology but I have no designs on becoming a professional astrologer. I seem to do better with simpler forms of divination for the time being.

Thanks, Kimberly. This has really helped. I keep looking for a method of earning an income outside of the PMC, and I'll find it eventually.

It's my opinion that you cannot go wrong with passive intellectual digital property -- that is the type that you create and then essentially walk away from. For instance, my Sheet Music Plus store grosses at minimum a hundred a month. Around the holidays it is more around 200. If I stopped creating sheet music for it this instant, it would still do that. I also have a series of ebook novels, now complete, called Forever Fifteen on Amazon that brings in modest amounts of money more than a decade after its completion. My husband is good at Virgo stuff like planning and building, so I am trying to help him do something with that online. Everybody is good at something. The online market is quite amazing; it won't be around forever but right now, it's there. Might as well use it.

Those are great ideas. I'm the one who asked last week about painting vs woodworking. (I really need to get an account with my name.) I just might be getting good enough to sell my botanical paintings. I have an Etsy site up but no buyers yet. It never really occurred to me that I could get an income stream from my work, but maybe I can!

Jordan Peterson has recommended that we spend a significant amount of time getting good at one thing, and then this may catapult us into other areas.

I had a brilliant idea last year and you are welcome to do something with it because I just do not have the time: painting & refurbishing old lamps with botanical-ish Victorian throwback art. Meaning, you take an old brass lamp, the kind that proliferate in second hand shops, re-finish the brass (I've had good luck with Rub 'N Buff) and then hand paint a chinoiserie or botanical lampshade for it. If you market it right, my thoughts are you could charge quite a bit for one on a high end site like Chairish.

That is a wonderful idea. Thank you.

I hope you make a mint on them! I just don't have the time for another craft project. I actually have my grandma's (RIP) old Stiffel floor lamp. I've meant to paint the lampshade in the chinoiserie style because it would be lovely and super-classy but I never get around to that project.

Seems like a good product for Etsy, and if you start with smaller lamps, they would be fairly easy to ship and the profit margin would be enormous. I'd love to see the photos if you make these.

I will do that!

I should also add that a friend of mine who practices Bach therapy recommends Gorse for me. Hmmmm. In Bach's "The 12 Healers" he writes that Gorse is good for:

Very great hopelessness, they have given up belief that more can be done for them.
Under persuasion or to please others they may try different treatments, at the same time assuring those around that there is so little hope of relief.

Re: Definitely a subject for meditation

That seems to be a very common condition these days! I think it has to do with etheric depletion. You get so used to etheric starvation that you give up on the situation ever being corrected, yet because it is starvation, there is a survival instinct that can lash out nastily if you're not exceedingly careful. It's also very common to become desperate -- there is a "sinking ship" mentality that drives one to become clingy and to latch on to those they perceive as life rafts, which of course has the opposite effect of what was intended. The person being clung to runs away.

I'm probably going to have to do an essay on etheric starvation and how to remedy it. Herbs are certainly one way -- they are etherically rich and made more potent by drying them.

I look forward to that!
