Pink and Red Tentacle in a Vial

From creatureness in Wheaton IL

This is a fascinating little bottle/vial/testube with a mauvey pink and red tentacle in it. It can sit on a desktop or tie it to a ribbon and hang it up or around your neck as a necklace.

Are you or someone you know a biologist? Do you love odd things and creatures? Do you want to pretend to grow your own tentacle monsters the way some grown plants form clippings?

This tentacle in a vial brings you from Halloween decoration to off beat ornament and through the rest of the year as a desktop fascinator and for some an unwanted person repeller. Enjoy :)

-Vial is about 2 5/8" (6.75 cm) high including stopper an 12mm in diameter.

check out the rest of the shop for other tentacles, parts, plants and creatures.

Alli Kausaypa (Good Fortune) Shamanic Distance Ceremony with Candle

From AlliPacha DeLand, FL

Please note, per Etsy’s policies, you are purchasing a “new, tangible, physical item” – a white tapered candle that I will “substantially alter” during the course of our Ceremony as described below...

Alli Kausaypa Shamanic Distance Ceremony Candle

In the beginning of our Ceremony I hold the candle, and rub it onto the photo you have supplied. The Ceremony creates sacred space, which thereby connects the photo to your Luminous Body. The candle then absorbs your energy. It becomes part of you. After placing the candle on my sacred altar, I light it, and “read” the candle flame. The candle reading is an important component of our Ceremony.

At this time we will speak on the phone to communicate directly to you the details of the reading and the parameters and context of the Ceremony.

After the candle reading, we end our phone conversation, and I will continue with our Ceremony. The candle continues to burn during our Ceremony, and reflects the shifts and changes occurring within you.

The Ceremony for Good Fortune is an ancient ritual of the Yachaq Shamans of Imbabura. Though ancient this ceremony is applicable to our modern world.

Good Fortune is a Spirit, an Energy with which we interact. For most of us our interaction with the Spirit of Good Fortune fluctuates, that is, we are connected to this Spirit for a time, then disconnected. This pattern repeats itself over and over.

The Alli Kausaypa Ceremony was specifically created to reconnect us with the Spirit of Good Fortune. The Ceremony cleanses our Luminous Body of accumulated “stuff,” balances and reconfigures our energetic patterns, then reconnects with Samay Alli Kausaypa, the Spirit of Good Fortune.

I will send the candle to you after our Ceremony. It is an extremely helpful tool. Use it to re-connect with the power and energy of our Ceremony by lighting the candle and gazing into the flame with “soft” eyes for a few minutes. Then blow out the flame, and sit, meditate, relax, or even sleep, holding the energy of the Ceremony. When the candle runs low, you can transfer the energy to a new candle by lighting your new candle from your old candle.

Many people have asked me for assistance with various conditions and circumstances impacting their lives. More often than not the intensity of the energy of those conditions and circumstances require a level of energy not available among the current options in my Etsy shop. Since I began my walk on the Path of the Shaman an important component of my work has been distance ceremonies. After consultation with the Spirits of the Yachaqs (Shamans) of Imbabura, I now offer these distance ceremonies in my Etsy shop.

I welcome the opportunity to work with you. Email/Convo me to initiate this process. I look forward to hearing from, and working with, you.

Shungo!

Yachaq Shaman of Imbabura

Yummy Granola Recipe - Mouth-watering

Eatsy: Granola With a Free Conscience

Story by kittykatherine

Published on Jan 12, 2011 in How-To

After the high-fat fright of the past few decades, granola got a bad wrap. Atkins didn’t help any either. And while you can buy packaged granola that’s high in saturated fat and sugar, plenty are healthy (I won’t say low calorie). If you make your own, then controlling and understanding the fat and sugar content gets much, much easier.

Granola is the sort of food that’s so forgiving, so pantry friendly, so easy and gratifying to make that once your first batch goes into the oven, you’ll never be able to buy granola with a free conscience again.

As we lurch into the new year, plenty of folks, including myself, have vowed to live healthier, fitter and leaner in 2011. Virtue and good intentions are essential elements for self-improvement and granola, we thought, could help you along. It's known as good hippie food for a reason: the nuts, the oats and sweet little dried fruit gems are fiber rich, nutritious foods. Michelle Fuerst, the doyenne of the Eatsy kitchen, recommends tossing in other grains such as rye flakes, flax seed, oat bran and barley for additional fiber. Honey and maple syrup are good stands-ins for refined sugar, she adds.

I like my granola with coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, almonds and sour cherries. Michelle likes currants and golden raisins, though many dried fruits get tossed into her regular granola making routine. Figs, if you haven’t tried them, are really good too. The best tasting granola is only faintly sweet. Mainly it’s crunchy and nutty, robust and round in flavor, crisp and varied in texture. You know when you’ve made a good batch because, well, your hand will constantly be reaching for another fistful. But, that’s the behavior of 2010. In 2011, it’s all about portion control.

Granola Recipe 1.0
Yield: About 9 cups

This recipe is just a starting point. Granola is one of the most adaptable foods you can make. Use up the oats you have, if you’re low on those stir in extra nuts, seeds, or other fiber flakes. If you’re low on honey or maple syrup, do as Michelle does when in a pinch and make use of the jam jars in your fridge. The important thing to keep in mind is to add enough oil so the dried ingredients crisp. I like olive oil (after all I’m part Portuguese) and Michelle, a more sensible cook, likes coconut oil. Tweak to your liking.

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats or equivalent measurement with oat bran, barley and flax seed mixed in
1 cups raw almonds or pecans, roughly chopped
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup coconut flakes
3/4 cup honey or maple syrup
3/4 to 1 cup olive oil or coconut oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup chopped dried cherries, currants, yellow raisins or a mix of all three

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, mix the oats, nuts, pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, maple syrup or honey, oil, salt and cinnamon together. Spread mixture on a rimmed baking sheet in an even layer and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden brown and well toasted.

2. Transfer granola to a large bowl and add the dried fruit, tossing to combine.

Going on a Cruise Saturday! WooHoo! Last Minute Decisions are the Bomb!

Anyone who knows me knows that I live to travel - I feel like life is what happens on a vacation, and the rest of the time we're just planning our next one! 

So, Mike & I had gotten into the habit of taking a cruise together for our Jan. 22 anniversary, thanks to my wonderful parents who agree to keep the boys for us.  Well, guess what?  This year they're all coming with us........dead silence..........just kidding!  We're all gonna have a blast. 

The 4 of us have been cruise junkies for about 6 years, and we've been going on 1 or 2 per year.  We're always on-line looking for the best deals at the times we can travel.  So, usually it's the last-minute "We'd be crazy not to go!" deals that get us fired up & Force us to go.  :)  My parents took us on our first cruise, and then they never got around to going again - there was always something else they wanted to do, and Daddy was still in the mind-set that he wanted to BE there, not spend the trip GETTING there. And he's totally into road trips now, because air travel is not what it used to be.  But he decided in October to take Mommy on a cruise out of Galveston for their anniversary & her birthday, and BAM! He's a cruise addict now!  He has spent the past 2 months scouring the world wide web for the best deal ASAP.

Well, at the last minute last night, right before the travel agency closed for the night, we finally decided on the Norwegian Epic out of Miami, 7 nights, goes to St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Nassau.  The price suddenly dropped, because it leaves this Saturday, so we grabbed it.  WooHoo!  The kids are psyched about the waterslides and the size of the ship.  I'm psyched about the ports.  Mike is excited about the balcony cabin, and my parents can't wait to start eating!  :)

The only thing that might be a bummer is if the flights to Miami fill up, and we have to jump in the van & drive all the way to Miami. Yuck!  But we'll do it - we gotta do it, because the trip is paid for - Hello!  I've got so much to do between now & then it's crazy, but we're excited & it's going to be a great trip.  Like Mike said, it's getting more difficult to spend time with the kids. They're so busy with sports & friends, it's harder to take them places, take them out of school, and to spend time as a family.  So this will be awesome I'm sure!  I can't wait!  Saturday, here we come! 

Look at these amazing paper sculptures!!

Artist Noriko Ambe's layered paper works — she individually cuts single sheets of paper free-hand and stacks them (!) — are at once sculptural, textured. I long to venture into a cavern of paper slivers.
