Soothing Pod

Image
  The other day I downloaded a free meditation app from the app store, soothing pod. I've not had much luck with free apps. Normally they either aren't very good or drive you insane with ads, so I didn't expect much. As it turned out, the good reviews were real and this app is a keeper as far as I am concerned! There are absolutely no ads on this app! There aren't even any in-app purchases, anything listed in the app is totally free for you to use!  There is so much in this app! Not just the meditation, but also music, sounds and bedtime stories! The top image is a screenshot of some of the sound section.  So far the meditations I have used are pretty short, like around 6 minutes, but there are many more that I haven't tried. They are very simple and yet I find them helpful compared to trying to meditate by myself. There are probably more complex ones, but I have just been using the beginner ones so far.  The music is also very relaxing and nice. There are many choi...

Tamed Wild Seasonal Box

 I found myself irritated by the fact that it is June and I have not yet received the May-July seasonal box, especially because of the dated workbook. I emailed TW just telling them of my irritation, not asking when it was expected or anything and I did receive a nice reply and an explanation of what is going on that I am sharing below. Thank you for writing in regarding your first seasonal box. I am so sorry your shipping is late. We are working hard to get these out right now. You will receive an automated email with the tracking information as soon as your box ships. USPS may take 24-72 hours to scan the box into their system, per their tracking guidelines.    We have learned a lot during this transition. First, we understand the workbook is dated beginning May 1st and the boxes are currently shipping past that date. We have learned from your feedback, and for the Fall box that encompasses August, September, and October that we will begin shipping July 1st to avoid thi...

Mindless Souls

Image
  I once bought a pretty rainbow obsidian necklace from Mindful Souls. Since then I receive a daily (sometimes more) emails trying to sell me products. Most of their products seem overpriced, at least the ones I have seen on Amazon and other metaphysical type sites. However, what really irritates me is that they can't even get their emails trying to sell me things right. The June full moon is on the 4th, not the 14th as it says in this screenshot from my email. This is at least the 3rd time I have received an email from them containing false information on the day or date of something and I don't even open most of their emails! Not very mindful if you ask me, so I will be calling them mindless souls from now on!  Follow up 5/29: I emailed Mindless Souls the day they sent out that email and I am sure others probably did as well. They never sent out another email to correct their mistake. Apparently if they haven't created an email to sell you things they do not email.  Fol...

Happy World Tarot Day!

The last Tamed Wild monthly box

Image
  Since this is the last monthly box before they start the seasonal ones I decided to review it and then I can compare it with the seasonal to figure out if I am still getting 3 months worth of stuff! lol!  The box was different this month and larger so I assume it is the size they will be using for the seasonal boxes.  At the top of the box, like every month was the ritual cards. They give you a ritual to do with the items and also tell you about the items. I rarely do the ritual, but I use the items in my own rituals. I also save all my ritual cards for future reference.  The next thing in the box was the flower book! I LOVE Tamed Wild's little booklets and I think I have almost all them! Thankfully, I did not have this one yet. There are about 30 different flowers in it, it tells you uses for them, symbolism and gives a little ritual you can do with them. It also have lovely illustrations and 3 pages for notes!  Then there was a cool pin back alchemy/potion b...

Rainbow Fluorite Tower and Dreams

Image
  Sometime last week I had a dream where I was doing some sort of spell or ritual and waving around a wand/tower. I noticed it was rainbow fluorite and I thought, "but I don't have a rainbow fluorite tower" and then I woke up. The next day I went on Amazon and bought one! It arrived on Friday and as you can see in the photo it is beautiful!  Friday night I decided to leave it on the table next to my bed when I went to sleep and as you might guess I had a very strange dream: I was in what seemed to be a large airplane hanger, there were lots of people there with me, some I knew, but most I didn't. Several Ufologists that I know were there, like Richard Dolan! One person I knew is dead in real life, but was there in the dream. We were all waiting for the aliens to arrive! They were coming to some sort of meeting. I really don't know who they were meeting with, it wasn't me. I knew I was there because I would be leaving with them, as would be everyone else in the...

Changes coming to Tamed Wild

Image
  Tamed Wild is switching monthly subscription boxes to quarterly. I am kind of sad about this because I look forward to my box each month. There are good things about this change though! Like you will get 3 months worth of items for only $56, right now the monthly boxes are $28 so it is like getting a free month 4 times per year!  One new thing that will be included each quarter is a seasonal workbook.  It looks pretty cool, although, I already have a 2023 planner that is very similar from what I can tell. You also still get a monthly ritual (x 3) and all the items needed to perform them. I assume that "Small Spells" deck will be included in the first quarterly shipment at the end of April since they included the photo along with the workbook in their email.  I will still miss getting my monthly box, but I imagine I will look forward to a quarterly box packed with 3 months worth of stuff even more!
