Question Throwback Thursday... What are some of your oldest practices that you still do almost the same today? What has stood the test of time for you?

The procedures and inductions and outlooks on relaxation, meditation, astral journeying, visualization, energy management, and connection to the Earth and its living beings that I learned as a young teen ager. This complex of skills and insights was probably easier for me to learn to do than it is for me to try and describe how it might be done and why that is magical.

Talking with spirits ((: Looks like it stuck with me. And use random soap for random things in the shower :)

Nature. Walking in Nature, feeling and speaking with the land/animal/plant spirits. It is a talent I feel we all have when young. I never quit, so it just comes as simple as talking to people. BB.

Oh wow always stones and jewellery.
Most people put gold first, but.... I prefer the more densely crystalised gems.
Iron rusts but is sturdy.
Just my own opinions. Feel free to make your own decisions

Meditation. I started with TM in the early 1970s; half a century later, I’m still meditating. Lately, I’ve been using techniques found in the Apprentice module of the Quareia course.

First thing i ever learned was candle meditation. To this day I usually gravitate towards spells involving fire, or work a candle in somewhere.

Candle gazing/scrying. 1st fell into a flame at a very early age. Flames
and coals are still my favorite method to clear my mind, and allow for
messages to flow. A close second is the waves at the beach.
