The word chakra is Sanskrit for wheel or disk and signifies one of seven basic energy centers in the body. Each of these centers correlates to major nerve ganglia branching forth from the spinal column. In addition the chakras also correlate to levels of consciousness, archetypal elements, developmental stages of life, colors, sounds, body functions, and much, much more. Below is a brief description of each chakra. For more information refer to history of the chakras, chakras and evolution, chakras and asana practice, books, articles, and workshops.
   
Nephthys gave birth to a son called Anpu, or Anubis, and that his father was, according to some, Set; from another point of view he was the son of Ra. The animal which was at once the type and symbol of the god was the jackal, and this fact seems to prove that in primitive times Anubis was merely the jackal god, and that he was associated with the dead because the jackal was generally seen prowling about the tombs.
   

For over a century, Swarovski has supplied the world with superior crystals that are enjoyed and admired by millions worldwide. Founded in the mid 1890's, Daniel Swarovski had invented a glass cutting machine and started the world's first hydroelectric glass cutting factory. With this state of the art machinery, Swarovski was able to produce their crystals using precise optical techniques that no other competitor can duplicate even today. With their unique crystal cutting techniques and their well patent machineries, Swarovski dominates the full lead crystal market by holding on to approximately 70% of the market share. Swarovski offers a wide range of colors and special coatings to meet the needs of all occasions. Special coatings are bonded chemically to the outer surface of the beads for a more brilliant effect. Aurora Borealis, better known as "AB", is one of the more popular coatings that gives off a rainbow-like effect. Crystal Transmission, Volcano, Aurum and Dorado are some examples of special effect beads. The special effect and special coating of each beads are permanent. Austrian Swarovski crystal also contains approximately 32% lead. Full lead crystal must contain above 30% lead oxide content in order to be consider full lead crystal.
   
In magick, colors represent certain energies, goals, people and non-physical beings, such as deities or spiritual forces. For this reason, you should include candles, gemstones, cords and other objects of differing colors in your magick rituals. Colors also often have personal meanings for us. Anytime a person employs the symbolism inherent in colors, they are in effect using magick. Common examples of this can be found in such phrases as "green with envy", "black with rage", "feeling blue", "in the pink" and many more.
   
Peacocks have been considered for thousands of years, as the world’s most beautiful of all birds. Both sexes including the ‘pea-hen’ female, and the ‘peacock’ male, are correctly known as ‘peafowl’, although both genders are commonly known as the Peacock variety of bird.

Many people know me by the Pagan coloring books I've created. They've been used, freely, at numerous Pagan and Womyn's events worldwide and they are used by classroom educators (surprise!) and homeschoolers. There is now a new site up just for Pagan/Earth Spiritual children: SacredSpiralKids. My thanks goes out to all the parents who have made them such a success!
