Now for our lesson in Astrology, I present Madam Gemini and her companion Poo

Poo consults Madam Gemini, whom she calls GiGi ...

Poo:   What is my Zodiac sign GiGi?
GiGi:  I need to know when you were born Poo because that will determine your zodiac sign.

Poo:   I was created ... in June!
GiGi: Well Poo, your sign is either that of the twins called Gemini, like me, or your sign could be the crab called Cancer!

Poo:   Oh my, GiGi does that mean that maybe I have a twin or I might turn into a crab! 
GiGi:  No Poo, these are names that are given to certain star constellations. There are twelve constellations across the sky that in the tradition of Astrology form the Signs of the Zodiac. Month by month the Sun moves into a new sign.

Poo:    I remember, I was created during the midsummer celebrations.
GiGi:  Then your Zodiac Sign is Cancer and your star constellation is that of the crab. This star constellation...Poo why do you look so confused?

Poo:   What's a con-stel-la-tion?
GiGi:  A constellation is a group of stars that form a shape and your group of stars is in the shape of a crab. It is very hard to locate, but I will point it out to you tonight. We can also talk about the Moon which is your ruling planet. And I will tell you the story about the Gnome Lady of the Lake, who cared for a cranky old crab, that was an exceptional musician.

GiGi:  Did you know Poo, that  the onyx energy stone you treasure and hold in your hands is actually your birth stone as is the ruby? You also have special birth flowers and yours are the water lily and larkspur. You can learn more about your energy stones from Prof SEM and the Enchantress can teach you about flowers.

Hedgie's Surprise by Jan Brett (Illustrator) Hardcover - (September 2000) 32 pages Reading level: Ages 4-8. 

Jan Brett's beloved character Hedgie stars in this charming story about a little Tomten who gets tired of porridge for breakfast and starts stealing Henny's eggs.

Henny doesn't know what to do. Every morning the Tomten steals her egg and takes it home to cook in his kettle and gobble up for breakfast. But when she sees Goosey-Goosey sailing by with a gaggle of goslings, Henny is suddenly galvanized to do something. Will she never have chicks of her own? She consults her wise friend Hedgie the Hedgehog, who comes up with a clever plan guaranteed to give the Tomten a sharp lesson in appropriate behavior.  He substitutes an assortment of round objects for Tomten to steal (an acorn, a strawberry, a mushroom, a potato) and then finally rolls himself up in a prickly, pinchy ball that sends the Tomten away for good. He runs home for porridge and never comes back again!

Jan Brett's trademark illustrations, detailed watercolors bordered by intricate needlepoint patterns, capture the charm and mischief of this Scandinavian-style folk tale set in Denmark. Each wide woven margin shows a hint in miniature of upcoming events: Hedgie crawling under Henny's brooding basket, or the enraged Tomten after being outwitted.

If you hear of a new book let us know. 
And if you have read it write us a short review.

 

Greetings! ...My name is Professor Stone E. Mountain, but please call me Professor SEM. 

Many of you have asked questions about the energy found in Crystals and Gemstones so this time I'm going to read a bit from the "Secret Book of Life" hoping to help you understand a little more.

 

"The energies from crystals and gemstones react from our aura of energy, amplifying our energy to produce quicker manifestations. To learn to use crystals is fairly easy as long as you have patience and an open mind.

If you've never felt the energy of a crystal, try these simple exercises with several stones, if you relax and experiment with different stones, results will follow.

Hold a crystal in your hand until the body heat warms it, relax and you will feel a tingle from the crystal. Warm the crystal and place it on your third eye chakra (a very sensitive area). Its very common to feel a slight pressure or even a slight pain, don't worry about it, its just your body's attempt to get used to the energy.

Crystals and gems can be used in many ways. They can be placed throughout the home, on your headboard of your bed, worn on the body in jewelry or in a medicine bag, an they can be used in tools.

Crystals absorb negative energy, which is good, it keeps the negative away from us.  However, it can fill up and then it is of no use to us at all.  Take care of your crystals!  Once a month, soak them in sea salt or rock salt water and leave over night in moon light (full moon lite is even better).  This will remove the negative energy and bring them back to the highest energy they radiate, therefore being of great use to you.  The Gnomes make it a ritual to do this chore on the night of the full moon.  Doing it together we never forget.  It's amazing all the energy we feel the very next day.  Hope you'd remember to do this as well, maybe do it with a friend."

I hope you now have a better understanding about your stones be it crystal, gems or just stone, they all have energy, some more, some less.

Until next month may you always walk down the path luck.

From Professor Konsh's Class - Our New Children's Corner!

Hjaya !!! I am Professor Konsh. I come from afar…….From a land of beauty and enchantment. My homeland is " C I X E M O ".

I was invited by QueenGnome to participate in the Children´s Corner.

It is a great pleasure and I feel honored. I have devoted my life to work with gnome children and now, the opportunity of sharing with human children what I have learned makes me feel happy to the core.

I deeply believe in the " child within " that everyone has, gnomes and humans, and this CHILD should never be lost, forgotten or put away.

Although Professor Konsh is 377 years of age, his child lives happily in his heart and enjoys life and its beauty the way you do……. with innocence, tenderness, love, truth and a deep sense of wonder.

You will find out more about me in the next newsletters. Now, I would like to invite you to come close and discover all I want to share, and maybe learn from Professor Konsh, your gnome friend.

How about making your own activity book? Allow me to give you an idea to help you get started…….

• Get a loose-leaf notebook and make a cover for it. You can color Professor Konshyou can find him in the Children´s Corner Coloring pages )
• Add a background…….Prof. Konsh loves Nature; trees, flowers, plants., animals
• Put a title…….°°MY GNOME ACTIVITY BOOK °°

Every month you will find something interesting and nice to add to your book; stories, riddles, anecdotes, activities, recipes and much more…….
