Hello and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host Deb Bowen and I'm Samantha Faye.

And we're just so delighted and honored that you are joining us in this wonderful Mary month of May as we have lots to talk about this week. We're so happy to have you with us.

We're going to be discussing just if a part of our back to basics series of podcast happening over the next month or so.

We're going to be talking about cards like tarot cards and oracle cards and and and and and just some general information.

If if you are working in the world of divination using cards, we hope we'll have some additional information for you that might be helpful to you.

If you're new to the idea of divination through cards and are kind of overwhelmed by the zillion of them out there, this might help you to begin to think about what cards might resonate with you and how to determine that.

So that's going to be our topic today. But before we get into that and if you are a regular listener to our show, we have a crystal of the week and an animal of the week that we talk about before we move into our topic.

So Samantha can I ask you to start with our crystal please.

I'd be happy to our crystal this week is a listener request. It's in hydro courts, which is spelled E and H Y D R O. It's a court that contains bubbles of water inside of it.

The bubbles of water got trapped in there as the stone was growing. Often the water inside and hydro courts is more than a hundred million years old.

It's sometimes called bubble courts and it's often or usually found in Africa, Madagascar and China. Now we really, really, really rare in hydro courts has bubbles of water that move inside the stone when you move the stone.

But most in hydro courts that you'll see in stores, the bubbles of water are not moving. It's considered a stone of purity because the water inside has never been subjected to the energy around it.

It helps you tune into the collective unconscious. You can meditate with it to help you purify your mind, audio and soul. It helps you link with your Acacia record and your life plan during meditation.

And in hydro courts helps strengthen your ability to awaken to your pure purpose, the truth of who you are.

So it's just clear courts typically. You can find bubbles of water sometimes in agate, but it's normally just in clear courts. And they're just this little bubble of water inside.

Yeah, they're so cool. Joe has a beautiful piece of in hydro courts that has a fairly large bubble as the bubbles go and in hydro. So that gorgeous stands just amazing.

That's fascinating to me to think about how crystal's growth.

No, no, so thank you for that.

Our animal person of the week is also a request. And I'm happy to share this one, particularly at this time of year.

We've just celebrated the pagan Celtic holiday of Belten. It's one of the eight spokes in the wheel of the year in my beliefs.

And Belten is an ancient holiday that takes us back to fertility rights, ancient fertility rights, when folks believe that some folks still believe that symbolically fertilizing the earth for the world.

And so that's why we're here today for planting of the seeds was just as important as really fertilizing the earth for the growing of the seeds.
