Hamilton Pagan Pride Day is coming up on September 13th at Gage Park!

Don’t forget to bring your drum! 🥁 🪘

Our next stop, Hamilton Pagan Pride Day! This year, we want to do something a little different. We encourage everyone to bring their drum, whether it be djembe, frame drum, or your tambourine and shakers for the Bamboula Experience! During our performance, we will be sharing the various components of the historic Bamboula rhythm from New Orleans, demonstrating how a circle of drummers can maintain and honour the rhythm and everything it represents. We hope to see you there!

This Thursday the Crystal Wheel shifts to Yellow for Success, Wealth, and Healing.

This week’s meditation can be found in the post below.

This week's Crystal Wheel Meditation will be on Thursday, September 3rd, 2026 at 10:00 pm EST and will self-guided. The Orange crystals from last week's wheel will be shifting to Yellow. If you have a physical healing request, place the person's name, city or state, and age in the comment portion of this window. The Cabot Witches will send healing light to those individuals during the designated meditation start time.

Yellow — For Success, Wealth, and Healing

Place yourself in a comfortable seated position with your legs uncrossed and your feet flat on the floor. Place your palms open on your lap. You may hold a quartz or citrine crystal in your left hand if you desire.

Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.

As you relax, feel the warmth at the top of your head, across your eyes, and running down your neck. Slowly, this warmth travels downward, relaxing your mind and the muscles of your face, your neck and shoulders, slowly across your abdomen and back, thighs, shins, and finally to your feet.

Feel all tension released from your body, and allow all incorrect energies to fade away with each breath you inhale and exhale.
You are relaxed, comfortable, and safe.

With your mind’s eye:
See the number 7, and see the color red.
See the number 6, and see the color orange.
See the number 5, and see the color yellow.
See the number 4, and see the color green.
See the number 3, and see the color blue.
See the number 2, and see the color indigo, like the midnight sky.
See the number 1, and see the color orchid.

You are now in Alpha level, where everything you do, think, and say will be accurate and correct, and this is so.
You descend deeper now as you count slowly:
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1.

In your mind’s eye, you rise from where you sit and flow outdoors.
Once outside, you begin to float upward toward the sky, traveling quickly on this night until you see the first warming glimpse of the sparkling Crystal Wheel floating 700 feet above Salem, Massachusetts.

As you approach the Crystal Wheel tonight, you are amazed to see that within the circle of bright yellow crystals lies an endless field of marigold flowers, covering gently rolling hills.

The sound of the swaying flowers soothes you as a gentle breeze moves through the field. The hills roll and rise like an ocean of flowers, their movement relaxed and easy, natural and unforced, carried upon by the dusty scent of late summer in the air.

Upon closer inspection, you see that the petals of each flower are made of faceted citrine crystals, shimmering with an inner amber light.

Above the field, the Sun radiates its energy into the crystal flowers, sending waves of promise, vitality, and healing across their upturned faces.

Think of each flower you see as a potential:
An idea.
A thought.
A healing.
A resource.
A possibility.

Each one has already taken root, waiting only for your care and attention.

What flower calls to you?

Walk toward it and look deeply into its center.

See your faces reflected many times over within the clusters of citrine. See yourself healed, whole, and surrounded by a wealth of abundant energy that is correct and appropriate for you.
At the same time, be mindful of the word “abundance.”

Abundance is not excess.

It is having enough to meet your needs, enough to live comfortably and freely, and enough to extend your generosity to others in need when you are able.

How do you see yourself reflected in the crystals?

What will you allow to manifest?

What fears or doubts may be holding you back from reaching your goals of health, wealth, and success?

How might you release those fears and surrender your preconceived vision, allowing an outcome that may be different—and perhaps even better—than what you expected?

Who might be an ally or source of support in reaching this potential reality for you? And can you recognize that sometimes the most important ally may be yourself?

Open your mind to the possibility of finding your way forward easily, like the wind brushing gently across the faces of the crystal flowers.

Resonate with the frequency that calls you forward.

Dream big.
Aim high.
Remain open to receiving the abundance the Universe has in store for you.

And remember:
You do not have to force what is meant for you.
Allow the vision to unfold.
Allow the energy to settle.

Allow what you have seen, felt, and imagined to take root within you.

[15-minute meditation]

As you feel the power of this meditation moving outward across the planet, the yellow waves of energy continue to ripple outward, carrying intentions of health, wealth, healing, and success to everyone open to receiving this vibration.

You have healed yourself and opened yourself to receiving wealth and success in the way that is most correct for you, and for the Good of All.

It is now time to return.

Take one last look at the field of golden promise waving before you gently lift off the Crystal Wheel and slowly begin your descent. Your path home is illuminated by the warm, comforting glow of the healing energy you have helped bring into the world.

Carry this feeling of abundance with you.
Carry the knowledge that you are worthy of receiving.
Carry with you the confidence to dream, the courage to act, and the wisdom to recognize abundance when it arrives.
And when you are ready, return fully to the room, bringing the energy of the crystal wheel, the golden field, and the Sun's warmth with you.

As you find yourself once again seated in your chair, give yourself total health clearance at this time by passing your hand, palm facing down, from the top of your head, down over your face, throat, chest, and abdomen, then sweeping your hand outward and away from you, releasing any residual incorrect energies from your mind, body, and spirit.

Take another deep breath.

Feel the warmth in your feet.

Wiggle your toes, and come back from your relaxed state.
Feel the warmth travel up your shins and thighs, across your abdomen and back, slowly crossing your arms and shoulders, finally covering your head.

Take another deep breath, and count up:
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10.
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7.

Now open your eyes.

Continue to honor the healing experience you encountered tonight.

Let your renewed spirit bravely move forward.

And let the Majick begin~

This week's Crystal Wheel Meditation will be on Thursday, August 27th, 2026 at 10:00 pm EST and will self-guided. The Red-Orange crystals from last week's wheel will be shifting to Orange. If you have a physical healing request, place the person's name, city or state, and age in the comment portion of this window.

Crystal Wheel Meditation

Orange for Communication and Healing

Find yourself in a relaxed seated position with your legs uncrossed and feet flat on the ground. Place your palms open on your lap. You may hold a clear quartz crystal, an orange calcite, or a carnelian stone in you left hand. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths in and out, continue to do so as you feel a warmth developing, starting at the top of your head. Slowly, the warm feeling generates the color Orange as its moving across your eyes, running down your neck, and down both your shoulders. The Orange light fills every cell of your body as you relax all your muscles in your arms down to your fingers. Feel the warmth in your lower back following down your legs, knees, and shins. Orange light-energy is relaxing you as it runs over the top of your feet, to your toes and under your feet. You are now relaxed, comfortable and safe.

In your mind’s eye, begin to see the number 7 and the color red…see the number 6 and the color orange…see the number 5 and the color yellow…number 4 is green, see the color green…number 3 is blue, see the color blue…number 2 is indigo, see the mid-night sky…number 1 is orchid, see the color orchid…

You are now in Alpha level. I will count from 10 to 1 at which time you will be in a more perfect working level: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1…you are now at your inner more level where everything you do will be accurate and correct for the good of all, and this is so.

This visit to the Crystal Wheel will give us a chance to honor and communicate with our ancestors in hope for their blessings of health; not just for you, but for your loved ones as well. They’re guidance will give us a chance to rid ourselves of health issues or the obstacles that keep us from receiving healing.

In your mind’s eye, you rise from where you sit and flow outdoors. Once outside, you begin to float upward, traveling gracefully in the comfortable night sky till you see the first glimpse of the sparkling Crystal Wheel 700 feet above all of Salem, MA. You see the Orange orb of light that is radiating from the Crystal Wheel above and below the crystals. Once you’ve arrived, you are immediately greeted by your friends and family who have come to offer healing. Perhaps, if needed, they now communicate tough-love messages. These messages are the real truths of the very issues that you have allowed to happen, causing some of your health problems or blocking recovery. The Orange light and its healing power encircles you as you listen to these truths. You believe in your loved ones’ message, and in their loving embrace, you feel uplifted. (pause 30 seconds)

Now you are ready for deeper healing and greater communication. Slowly rising up from the shards of the Wheel, your ancestors arrive; these are the dearest friends and family members who have passed over. A wave of comfort passes over you. You’ve longed to see them again, now they are here! In their voices, you feel the weight of your health and emotional issues leave your lower abdomen. They’ve come to heal you of your earthly guilt, the leading cause of most illnesses… fear, anxiety and stress. Listen to them; allow each of their messages to come through. Speak to them of your changed ways, new attitude, and path to healing. (Pause 30 seconds)

With a deep breath from your abdomen, you feel restored and as each breath continues, the Orange light of the Crystal Wheel draws itself back into its crystal shards. You look up to the now dark starry night, each star twinkles in a way that psychically speaks to you. Allow communication from within and beyond to guide you. As you look back to your surroundings you’ve noticed everyone’s, including yours’, ancestors has left the Wheel.

They’ve returned to the stars. But their blessings have been a time of solace. If you can, take this time to give back to those you know that are in need of advice and healing. Then allow the names on the Crystal Wheel Healing list to appear on the screen of your mind. Communicated to them that they are loved by their friends and family and that core healing is upon them. We ask that this is correct and for the Good of All. Take this time to meditate in the healing color of Orange in the Crystal Wheel.

Pause for 15 minutes

Keep in your memory the honest truths told by your loved ones. Communication and self-honesty are the best way to approach your goals; for you alone are responsible for your own happiness and inner healing. As you take another deep breath in and out from deep within your abdomen, you look around. The relief from fears is apparent in everyone’s expression and new creative approaches to controlling your health has you filled with joy. With this feeling, it is time to return. You say goodbye and begin to rise up enough to head home. This healing time with your loved ones remains fixed in your body and soul. So does the energy of the Wheel, even as you guide yourself back into your body.

Take another deep breath, give yourself total health clearance and we will count up: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10; 1-2-3-4-5-6-7. Begin to wiggle your toes, your legs, arms, shoulders and head. Now open your eyes. Thank you.

Crystal Wheel Meditation
Red-Orange Critical Healing of Injury and Illness

Place yourself in a comfortable seated position with your legs uncrossed and feet flat on the floor. Place your palms open on your lap. You may hold a quartz crystal, carnelian, or garnet in your left (or receptive) hand if you desire. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. As you relax, feel the warmth at the top of your head, across your eyes, running down your neck. Slowly this warmth travels down, relaxing your mind, to the muscles of your face, your neck and shoulders, slowly across your abdomen and back, thighs, shins and finally to your feet. You feel all tension released from your body and all incorrect energies fade away with each breath you inhale and exhale. You are relaxed, comfortable and safe.

With your mind’s eye:

See the number 7, and see the color red.
See the number 6, and see the color orange.
See the number 5, and see the color yellow.
See the number 4, and see the color green.
See the number 3, and see the color blue.
See the number 2, and see the color indigo, like the midnight sky.
See the number 1, and see the color orchid.

You are now in Alpha level, where everything you do, think and say will be accurate and correct, and this is so.

You descend deeper now as you count slowly 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

In your mind’s eye, you rise from where you sit and flow outdoors. Once outside, you see flashes in the sky of red and orange light. Rather than causing alarm, you feel curious as you are magnetically drawn towards these alternating bursts of colored light. You begin to float upward towards the sky, traveling at a remarkable momentum until you see the first warming glimpse of the sparkling Crystal Wheel floating 700 feet above Salem, MA.

The warm red-orange glow emanating from the crystals continues to flash and pulse as you hear a deep hum buzzing from the crystals. This vibration resonates with your deepest core as you gently land on the warm crystals below you. You can feel this pulsation of energy at your feet as it slowly travels up your body, scanning for any illness or incorrect energy. Like waves on the shore, the light rushes through you as you hear a pulsating. shimmering bell, pushing from your feet through your crown the correct energy needed to heal, while at the same time drawing away all that does not serve your highest good. With each eddy and bell ring you feel both exhilarated and cleansed as the vibrating crystals at your feet brighten and dim. This light bath is warm upon the soles of your feet, and at the same time, soothing, energizing and refreshing. You feel your burdens release and your pains begin to subside. You are now enveloped in a blanket of warm, radiant energy. The vibrations of the crystals continue to ring and harmonize as this healing process coalesces within and around you.

Now that you feel more focused, be an open vessel for this red-orange light to travel through you from the Total Intelligence of the Universe while you concentrate on the names on the Crystal Wheel healing list. Send to each person listed a ringing pulse of this critical healing red-orange light, much like a tuning fork finding its signature note. Let those vibrations meet and shimmer with the letters forming the names of the requests made tonight. Observe how each letter quivers in the space, freeing itself from restriction and pain. Imagine now the names on the Crystal Wheel healing list turning red-orange in color, sending that warmth to each recipient. Now turn to the world below the wheel, hold your hands out direct this orange/crimson light to ALL who are in need of healing due to illness or injury. Hear a symphony of harmonic sounds unfold as you see a reddish glow encapsulate the Earth, almost making it resemble Mars with its ruddy tones. Bask in this warmth and be one with this signature healing color.

Pause for 15 minutes and allow the meditation to manifest.

As you feel the power of this meditation manifesting all over the planet, the red-orange blanket about you begins to fall away, now dull in its color from its absorption of the incorrect energies encountered here tonight. It is now time to return. Say goodbye to those you met this evening as you lift your feet from the warm red-orange crystals below you and begin to descend. Your path home feels lighter and with less pain, be it physical, emotional, or both. The notes you heard tonight continue to ring true and find resonance with your spirit. Listen for them in the days ahead. The breeze home feels cool now as you glimpse the place where you began your journey.

As you find yourself once again seated in your chair, give yourself Total Health Clearance at this time by passing your hand, palm facing down, from the top of your head, down over your face, throat, chest to abdomen then sweeping your hand out in front away from you, releasing any residual incorrect energies from your mind, body, and spirit.

Take in another deep breath. Feel the warmth in your feet. Wiggle your toes, and come back from your relaxed state. The warmth travels up your shins and thighs, across your abdomen and back, slowly crossing your arms and shoulders finally uncovering your head.

Take in another deep breath, and count up:
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10;
1-2-3-4-5-6-7.
Now open your eyes.
