There is a lot of debate about legalizing marijuana, but anyone from the 60s would probably say that today's street pot is nothing like what they toked on their heyday. It's sort of the equivalent of synthetic blueberries in muffins versus real blueberries. One is chemically constructed by means no one has verification of, by unknown entities, putting who knows what into them versus something grown in nature and utilized.
I am soon releasing my newest book Adult Halloween: Taking Back the Season! For those of us who love Halloween, it's not just a holiday, it's a season! If you are nostalgic for childhood Halloween, get into the season and want to take it up a notch, wish you could just claim that time of year for yourself and not just the kiddies, then this book is an ideal read. I cover everything from how to have Halloween in your everyday life, from your home and fashion, entertainment choices and collectibles. I take the reader through ways to adult your Halloween: Horrifying Halloween (much more hardcore horror) Nostalgic/Traditional Halloween (50s/60s/70s, traditional autumn Halloween themes). Gothic Halloween (for a classy adult take) Sexy Halloween (definitely naughty adult!). There is a section just for horror movie genre types for a 3-movie marathon using drink and food pairings for you guests. Themes include - Gothic Setting Relentless Stalking Darkest Autumn Road Terror Man Beast There is also a huge section of resources from where to shop for items to best Halloween horror movies, Facebook pages that support your love of Halloween, and YouTube channels to subscribe to.

My best advice to psychics is to avoid the three major pitfalls.
1.Ego. Ego dictates you want to make people happy, you want to score, you want to provoke a positive reaction. Too many psychics bait with questions, look for expressions and reactions and follow those paths that could be dead ends. We want to shock and awe and so a gasping breath or widened eyes make us pursue that line too far. I personally ask the person say nothing, I turn away to not see them. I speak, spilling it all out while they take notes if they wish. We then speak once I am done with all I could elucidate. I do not let the ego into the interaction so I can follow open paths to their conclusion and not find dead ends or elaborate to the extreme.
2.Intellect. Our intellect is tied to the ego, whether we like it or not. Intellect says "this person does not look like a kind generous person, they look like an uptight social climber with designer clothes, they can't possibly be the volunteer rescuer that I am reading." So you talk yourself out of things because we evaluate visually about race, status, personality and more. One time, I did a reading on a man I didn't know at a singles hetero party and he handed me a wedding ring that I proceeded to tell him was from a man. Now, intellect told me "Sharon, there is a fraction of a percent chance this is possible," but I trusted the read, not the odds. Overthinking is overstinking.
3.Interpretation. You are only as good a psychic as your ability to take symbols, feelings, associations and figure them out correctly. One man I did a reading on, I told him his brother and he were 10 months apart and he was the elder, responsible one, and his brother was the baby ne'er do well. Well, the personalities and age difference were right, but he was the younger responsible one and his brother was the elder drifter. So, I had made my own interpretation based on popular concepts about responsibility and birth order.
Drift and Sift Technique
This is my name for what we do in alpha state as we drift off to sleep. The reason the dead visit us, we have alien encounters, and we come up with brilliant inventions, is because we drift and sift in bed as we nod off. You must disengage the logical mind, the ego, and the to-do list. You shift from mind to body in rest. For some, listening to some alpha wave music might be a good idea. Something like this -
Get really comfortable. I prefer to lay down and it's always nice to do this when there is some sunlight in the room so that behind your eyelids you see that orange color. Slow, comfy breathing, let your body get heavy and sink right into its setting, letting muscles go. No thoughts. No images. No words. Just utter and complete surrender. Concentrate on the floaty feelings as if your body is sinking, your mind is rising to the sky. Images might pass by, feelings, deja vu. They key in sifting as you drift is to allow things to come and go without attaching concern to them. You might suddenly remember a summer at the public pool - don't know what instigated that memory, but let it come and go without feeling you must conform it to an agenda or assign it value or meaning (as we do with conscious thinking). Do not be surprised if you have a great epiphany, some wondering invention idea, a solution to a problem you've been having, or a sense of someone with you in a spiritual way. When you truly allow yourself to be without goal, to just float without an anchor, you gather a strong sense of self, but also an amazing pull of a tide of the universe. Suddenly, it's like you are tied to everything and part of a universe instead of a me-verse. It's in this drifty haven that you will learn to identify what the universe presents you with. Some call it flipping through Akashic Records, but I like to think of it as swimming in the multiversal knowledge and experience.
As I'm working on my book The Goddess Workbook: Owning Your Space in the World, I am reminded of how far I've come in the past six years. Those who have been reading the blog have seen the evolution, but it is more than just what I am doing, it is what I am owning about myself.
CCTV is everywhere these days with cameras set up to capture people wandering too close to your front porch to businesses wanting to discourage theft. As well, lots of folks are setting up game cameras in their yards and more in hopes of gathering something unexplained. And, upon occasion, unexplained things show up, much to everyone's surprise! Let's have a look at just some -
Costumes can make people rather brave and daring. No one knows who you are and they certainly don't know your motives. There is an inherent fear in children to not like masks, animal costumes, or clowns for a good reason - they can not evaluate facial features and know if the intent is good or bad.

In ancient times, caves were the ultimate refuge from the elements. It was a temperature-controlled location where man could park himself and his belongings safely to ride out the weather or live year-round. Important religious scrolls have been found in caves, hidden treasures, mummies, and amazing art work. Caves are ideal storehouses for keeping things dry and temperature controlled, but it isn't just something we do today to preserve; ancients thought to keep things safe for all time, as well.
Julie Ferguson and I had a fun time this past weekend in Central Arizona. We had a speaking engagement about ghosts at the anniversary of the High Desert Museum. We also stayed at Arcosanti where we got to talk ghosts and demonstrate ghost hunting techniques.
Some finds are so out of the spectrum of what we consider Native American that we have to ask, who the heck made this? Styles, materials, locations, and age can confuse archaeologists who make assumptions that, based upon what they found so far (a tiny portion of what's out there) that they know cultures and they know civilizations.

From the white face to the maniacal laughter and drawn on tears, clowns have always had an unsettling reaction to children and adults alike. I don't know if we ever get over that discomfort as we grow older. From the bright hair, colorful billowing clothing and big shoes to the painted on smile, we inherently know something is amiss. For this reason, integrating clowns into sinister horror plots has been a fine art for Hollywood. Let's take a look at some that might keep you up at night.
Cornmeal pancake mix and sausages (mix the pancake mix in a jar and carry that way)
One-pot cooking, camp cooking, mason jar meals - all are the rage right now. They are also really practical for camping, cabin rentals, studio motel rooms, and even at home! Keep it simple - it's summer!
Coins dropping from nowhere. It's a fairly commonly reported paranormal phenomena. Lots of researchers have studied it like Barry Taff. And some investigators have run into cases where dozens of coins dropped from mid air and landed heads up. Is it possible? Why does it happen?
The Earth's magnetic field is believed to be generated by electric currents in the conductive material of its core, created by convection currents due to heat escaping from the core.
What if the earth's magnetic field, the liquid metal core and subsequent spinning action, combined with ancient man's knowledge of its properties, resulted in megalithic stone structures being erected in key spots?
Why?
What if the properties of earth make Her a giant recording device of sorts? What if all the para-encounters we have translate to every event having been recorded by nature and played back in the right points? Right conditions? Right geology?

Summer of `75. We all know what happened that innocent summer - our families took to the beaches while a movie opened up that kept us on the sand instead of the water. Jaws mania was so powerful that folks were afraid of lakes and even swimming pools! Let's take a look at Jaws Mania and shark attacks -
Coming soon to Ghost Hunting Theories - a new series!
What happens when a man in a back woods area of the Midwest finds out he has a clan of Sasquatch on his property? Well, this folksy woodsman decides to co-exist in a most playful and humorous way. The Bigfoot are more family members than co-inhabitants, and goofy family members, at that!
Karl Sup has been a regular contributor on Ghost Hunting Theories and a Bigfoot Researcher whose work I have greatly admired. You might have read some of his work on here and the links are below. Karl Sup is a software architect, developer and analyst, and an avid Bigfoot researcher working in the mountains of Arizona for many years. During this research and in other states including Maryland and Wisconsin, he has been fortunate enough to interact with and view multiple subjects over the years. Karl also has had decades of audio analysis and editing experience, and assisted in helping M.K. Davis clean up and enhance audio from VHS tapes he has been studying and discovered the presence of infrasound within those recordings.
Karl is on the radio tomorrow morning at 10 am to noon EST/9 am to 11 am Central/7 am to 9 am Mountain and Pacific time talking about Bigfoot on The Long Version with Fletcher Long.
I hope you're listening tomorrow morning - this will be very interesting. Karl has a refreshing and thorough investigative mind. He thinks on his feet, is logical, thorough at gathering evidence, and well respected. He has brought a good deal of expertise to Bigfoot research that is invaluable.
I'm going to share some of the realities of EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) capture. I believe EVPs are perhaps one of the best bits of evidence we get other than our own encounters. It is exceedingly rare that photo or video evidence cannot be proven to be dust, bugs, light reflection, long shutter speeds and other explanations, but EVPs can be acquired readily, easily, and more than people know.
