MAGIC OF FINDHORN IN MISSOURI

A few weeks ago I purchased a copy of The Magic Of Findhorn by Paul Hawken at a library book sale. It was 25 cents for the hardcover First Edition with a still-in-decent-condition dust jacket. When I got home I opened it up and discovered that the inside cover is signed by the two founders of Findhorn, Peter and Elaine Caddy. "With Love" from Elaine, in fact.

Findhorn is a miraculous garden in the north of Scotland. The soil is very poor and sandy, yet 40 pound cabbages and large flowers and other delights have been produced there. The Caddy's have been able to communicate with the spirits in the plants themselves, the Devas, and have grown the garden "psychically."

University City, and perhaps St. Louis overall, is my Findhorn. Not so much that the soil is barren-- although the culture here is harsh after so many years in laid back L.A.! --, it's more that I know this is the place I can produce miraculous results. A place where I can commune with the spirits that will tell me what I need to blossom and grow.

And there are so many spirits and interesting entities here! Los Angeles has it's otherworldly inhabitants, but they are mostly human. There is a theory among many of St. Louis' mystically minded citizens that this was the original Egypt. The mounds in Cahokia and in Forest Park are ancient pyramids. There are many spirits of all kinds here.  And very active.

I do feel an energy here that is deeply primal and very powerful. This blog will also document the interesting astral and spiritual encounters one can have in this city.

My garden has not yet blossomed yet, but I knew when I saw the Caddy's signatures in the book that I was right (write?) to leave L.A. However, the thought of abandoning my "skanky lady" (as I like to call the lovely but overly generous and open-legged LaLa Land) permanently is still too difficult a thought to bear!

Hence, I chose the new nom de guerre L.A. Lady Rae to remind me of my Angel City. My PKA has the added bonus of sounding like a cross between a Madame and psychic, which isn't an entirely incorrect depiction. (This blogs address is actually laladyrae.blogspot. Unfortunately, raeoflight on both blogspot and gmail was taken!)

Peter Caddy of Findhorn fame had one cornerstone belief. It was that the most powerful force in the Universe was "being in the right place, at the right time, in the right way." That is how miracles like 40 pound cabbages--grown without fertilizer or even proper soil-- are not only produced, but made to be commonplace.

There are miracles abundant in every moment of every day, waiting to be experienced and made ordinary. All things are truly possible!

It is the right time and right place for a Rae of Light to shine!

With love from my heart to yours, welcome to my new blog!

TAROT ON THE SPOT

PLEASE NOTE: The date on this blog post. This is from the book I take to tarot readings, which always has a copy of the current location.  But I didn't want to put the text of the book into my current blog posts, so I chose dates BEFORE I had started blogging.  I keep meaning to move to Wordpress, where you can organize your blog by more than just dates and pages.

I am available for readings via phone, email, chat, and in person (St Louis area).  Please call or text my cell (text preferred, if you can) 818 968 5815

These documents are the contents of the "Book" I leave at the various locations where I read tarot cards.  They answer most of the questions people have about readings.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

MEDIUM & PSYCHIC READING
I HAD A READING DONE BY RAE, AND IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. IT MADE ME REALIZE ALL THE FUNNY FEELINGS I HAVE HAD IN THE PAST, ALL THE THINGS THAT I WOULD DO AND NOT KNOW WHY I FELT COMPELLED TO DO THEM, WERE DONE WITH REASON.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT I WAS ON THE RIGHT PATH, BUT TO HAVE CONFIRMATION, THE WAY IT WAS TOLD BY YOU WAS UNDENIABLE. YOU TRULY HAVE A GIFT, AND I MUST THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOU WONDERFUL GIFT WITH ME.
--Mary K.



MEDIUM & PSYCHIC READING
I want to carry you around in my pocket! After the reading, I felt a lot of comfort and satisfaction with my life and the path that I am on with my career. Learning who my guardians are and what their purpose are is an amazing discovery to my lucky breaks and strange disappointments. I am grateful for my guardians and for you, Rae.
Thank you,
--Jill C.



MEDIUM & PSYCHIC READING
I wanted to take this opportunity to spread the good word about Rae and the help she has been to me in communicating with my mom and dad.

My parents have both crossed over. In the last year, Rae has been the link between myself and them. I am so happy to have this connection to them, and Rae regularly gives me accurate messages. It's the next best thing to having them here with me. More times than I can count, she has passed on to me words that have real meaning in my life. It's difficult to put this into words but there are times when she is so accurate, it is almost eerie. The only way you will know that I speak the truth is to enlist her services for yourself.

It has been such a comfort to know my parents are there with me, helping me navigae all of life's journeys big and small. This wouldn't be possible without Rae; I recommend her highly to anyone and everyone.
--Lisa




CHAKRA CLEANSING & PSYCHIC & MEDIUM READING
I found Rae to be a wonderful guide to the connectivity with the earth and universe. I found myself green and golden with the earth and silvery with the stars and sun, all the while feeling elated and free! Rae showed me pathways to the future and releases from the past, and I heard my elders speak with and through her as she passed messages on that illuminated the ways I could choose and the darkness I sought to avoid or leave behind.

When we finished, I felt cleansed and strong and I knew that I had regained my power that I had been letting slip away for too long. I look forward to the next time we search together and I would recommend the experience to everyone.
--Alaine J.




CHAKRA CLEANSING & PSYCHIC & MEDIUM READING
My reaction was one of inner calmness; where you understand organically that you aligned yourself internally. All the chochra colors ignited themselves through breathe and voice. The visualization/meditation gave me a peaceful openness to allow in the spirits that came to Rachael as they became known to her. You never know who will show up and it's a wonderful surprise. Thank you,
--Jane M.

TAROT ON THE SPOT READINGS

Lady Rae aka “Rae Of Light”
TAROT READINGS

I will ask you to think about your question or situation while I shuffle. When the cards are shuffled I will ask you to cut the cards. Cut them intuitively, wherever the deck “feels” like it needs to be cut.

Generally I prefer that you do NOT tell me what your question is, at least until after I have finished my first reading of your cards. At that time I will answer any questions you might have. I feel I can give you a better reading that way. Also, if you choose to keep your question private, then I can allow the cards to answer you directly.

I don't believe the cards do anything “super” natural or evil. They are tools for accessing the wisdom and knowledge of the subconscious and higher spiritual energies. The cards, and I, merely work as conduits for this information.

I generally do not remember the contents of a reading, tarot or psychic. If you want to record the reading or take notes, please feel free.*

 I offer the “HAPPY HOUR” Tarot reading for $5**. This is usually three cards, Past, Present, and Future, pertaining to one situation or question.
If you want to schedule a longer more in-depth consultation, either in person, by phone, or email/chat, I generally ask $35-50 (depending on where the reading takes place) for a full 12 card “Celtic Cross” reading, or we can create a custom spread tailored to your situation or question. I am also available for parties and events.

* (The human brain sits in a kind of chemical "soup". There is a "soup" for your brain when it is awake, and another for when you sleep, and another for meditation. That is why sleep dreams recede from memory so quickly upon waking. I believe that my brain's "soup" must change when I do a reading, because when I do recall a reading, which is rare and usually requires a lot of prompting, it has the same disjointed feeling as remembering a dream.)

LADY RAE BIO

LADY RAE
PSYCHIC MEDIUM MYSTIC
TAROT MAGICK ANGELS AURAS DREAMS CHOICES
I am originally from Saint Louis, but lived in Los Angeles from 1985 until 2008. I have been reading tarot cards since 1991. In 2002 I developed sufficiently to work as a Spirit Medium and Psychic. The cards, spirits and my own abilities continue to astound me, even after 22 years.
One of my most notable public achievements was predicting the exact score of the 2008 Superbowl the night before the game in an email. (There is a copy of it in this book.) I have not been able to duplicate these results again, sadly, and wish that I had placed a bet that year!
However, being psychic is not the same as being “all-knowing” or omnipotent. I am not a guru or a saint. I have an unusual ability to communicate with entities that many people cannot. There are spirits in bodies (the living) and spirits without bodies (“ghosts”). Just because I can “hear” and “see” more than other people does not mean that I am perfect.
I am able to see multiple viewpoints, partly because of my abilities, partly because I have had an uncommon and unusual life, with a lot of varied experiences. I grew up in a family with hereditary mental illness and a lot of dysfunction. When I was a teenager I often ran away from home, going as far as Southern California when I was only 13. (I moved to Los Angeles as an adult in 1985.)
I was for many years a radical political activist and atheist when I was young. While I do not hold these beliefs at all anymore, I would not trade the experiences I had, talking to people from all countries, cultures, and walks of life about politics and government.
I have worked at many different jobs and doing different kinds of work. Everything from an artist's model, film industry (distribution, effects, and Producer’s Assistant), personal assistant, and also spent many years as a secretarial “temporary”.
I am a Life Coach and Consultant via The Dream Garden (www.dreamgardencreators.blogspot.com). I help people identify and achieve their goals for happier and more fulfilling lives. Some of this is “hands on”: doing odd jobs, usually cleaning, organizing and/or bookkeeping for hoarders or the chronically busy and overwhelmed. I also provide a type unofficial problem resolution and mediation service, as I am a very effective problem solver.
For example, in 2008 a friend and client signed a contract with an auto dealership without reading the financial terms correctly. The contract charged $8,000 more than she had understood. After an almost two hour meeting with the dealer, manager, salesperson, and my client, I was able to get the full amount reduced from the purchase price and interest on the car. (The Dealer actually offered me a sales job, I was so persuasive.)
I am a true Bohemian Libertine, a free spirit, with a strong aversion to Authority. I am a Pagan and Witch, and in my opinion that has nothing to do with the Christian God or Devil. I believe that religions are like languages to the Divine, and that every religion is a valid path for the Believer.
I believe music will heal your soul and set you free.
I am a writer and poet. Essays, opinions, poems, and lefty political rants can be found on my Rae Of Light Blog: www.laladyrae.blogspot.com
I can be reached by email laladyrae@gmail.com or by phone 818.968.5815

EDIT 22Jan2016: This is taken from my "book" for Tarot on the Spot.  A loose-leaf binder with information on readings. I forget to update these posts, unless they get a lot of activity (hits) and show up in my blog's stats. If you are going to call my cell, please text me or email me first.  I live in an area with a lot of cell service issues, and may not get your call. I am also on Skype: scottish.toodler  Again, email or text me first if you want a reading or need to contact me.
