In doing my research I am stumbling upon many words that I thought I knew but are realizing that their meanings go much deeper or I flat out misinterpreted them due to my own ignorance.

There is never a moment when the Universe is not trying to get a message through to us but we are so often too busy or unaware of what it is we need to be watching for! Hawk helps us to...

Witchboard, Spirit Board, Talking Board, Ouija Board, Mystifying OracleAs I mentioned previously, the beginning of my personal experiences with the occult was with a Ouija Board.
