My muse has been on vacation while I've been working on left brain editing. It pays the bills, and I'd rather work at home, so I do it even when I'd rather be writing my own stuff. When I'm a wealthy published author on my tenth book tour around the world, I will have the luxury of declining such projects. Right now, it's really not a bad way to make a living.
But, meanwhile, the topic of this post is Temples Gate. I do a lot of my spiritual work at Temples Gate, 625 W. 19th Street, The Heights, Houston, TX. 713-863-0525. It's a great place. Joel Miles, the owner, is a wonderful person. He always has beautiful, meditative music playing and the best smelling incense burning. Just walking into the place takes your stress level down three notches.
While you're there, you can purchase the music he plays, or some beautiful crystals or power jewelry or candles charged for whatever purpose you need. You might select from his variety of decks of angel and goddess cards. And, you can always find an interesting conversation if you're into other worldly topics. You might find a buddhist talking with a pagan priestess or a catholic priest, and getting along quite well I might add. Or you might find out how to work a spell to attain a goal in your life. You might meet a psychic who can discuss your future or past lives with you. It's great. If I'm feeling lonely or in need of a chat with like-minded people, I head over to Joel's oasis in the cement desert.
There's a lovely sanctuary where classes are held and magic is explored. When you enter through the purple gauzy veils separating the store from the sanctuary, you're immediately drawn to the northeast corner where a stone altar built from sacred site stones is topped by the Divine Goddess or Mother Mary depending on your beliefs. It is surrounded by stained glass candle holders, and makes you want to genuflect or kneel whether you're religious or not. It's lovely, and the energy is great. In the center of the room, on the floor, underneath the magick carpet a six-pointed star is painted. It has been used so many times for magical ceremony that a vortex has been created that brings in some very powerful energy for healing, magick, mystical experiences and spiritual community.
There is another table in the sanctuary which serves as the altar for the "magick basket." The basket represents abundance and harvest. It is surrounded by flowers and crystals and talismans for manifestation. You can write down your wishes, needs, hope and dreams, put them into the basket, and every week, highly developed psychics, seers, magicians, wiccans and pagans and christians send energy and prayers for the achievement of those desires for the highest and best good of all concerned. It's a powerful group of people who gather to work on behalf of those they don't even know. It's an act of love, a work of prosperity through generosity, freely given and freely received. If you want, you can put money in the basket for prosperity activation in your life, and the money is shared with those who contribute energy to the basket. There's no requirement to pay anything though. It's a gift.
A small treatment room is located in the back where you can schedule an appointment for a healing, a massage, a psychic or tarot reading or a foot relexology. I do readings, channelings and healings there, along with several others who schedule the space. Joel, the owner, is a highly developed magical worker as well. He shares his gifts freely, and also energizes the items you buy for a purpose if you so desire. It's truly a magical place. A great place to buy unique gifts for those you love. Everything you buy carries the wonderful energy that permates the store. And, when you just need a rest from your daily fray, you can soak up the atmosphere for free.
About a year ago, my guides told me to go over to the Gate and start teaching classes and sharing energy and building energy for the store and the sanctuary. So I did, and I've been very pleased with my association there. At the beginning of this year, I was told to have The Gathering on Sunday afternoons from 2:00 to 4:00, less of a class and more of a meeting place for like-hearted people. And so, that is what I do with my Sunday afternoons now, at least until I'm told differently.
Last April, I suddenly had to move from the apartment I was living in, and I knew I had to move to the Heights, near Temples Gate. And so I did. Now I live five minutes from the Gate and can do more work there. I love living here. I can feel the heartbeat of the community, and it's alive and thriving. And, I'm half a block from Onion Creek where I have my morning java meetings.
I just came back from doing a psychic reading for someone about relationships, and I can still feel the energy of Temples Gate with me now. That's why I wanted to share it with you while it was fresh. Can you feel it? This post is charged with it.
Where do you find your spiritual nourishment?
