Did you ever have someone actually hand you your livelihood? Gary P Caton did–not just once, but twice.
Gary was twenty-one at the time and disillusioned with traditional University-fed learning. He was itching to see the world, and decided to pursue higher education through hitchhiking. His explorations led him to a rainbow gathering, where he received a pot of gold from a strange Leprechaun belonging to the O’Hippie clan. (Hoping Gary will forgive such rancid humor, here.)
“You’re supposed to have this…”
Steering back to the truth, this new acquaintance stopped Gary in his tracks. “You’re supposed to have this,” he mysteriously said, as he pressed a Tarot deck into his hand.
A most natural question formed on Gary’s lips. “Why?”
“You look wise,” came the most unnatural reply.
“But how do you KNOW that I’m wise?” Gary asked.
“You can’t look the way you do without the experience to go with it.” (Or something to that affect—as years of selective bad memory forces me to paraphrase.)
Gary accepted the cards and was told that receiving them as a gift was the best way to obtain a Tarot deck.
With a little practice, his skill as a Tarot reader grew to a level of excellence. But, more importantly, a cosmic door had opened that led him to a new and higher vocation.
And, for the second time in his life, he was given something valuable–not by any rainbow gatherer, this time, but a dream weaver who spun a golden trail of breadcrumbs for him to follow.
“…within the fiery solar disc, the symbol for Venus was beautifully emblazoned.”
Whilst Gary was traveling through The Land of Nod, he dreamt he was lying on the grass, gazing directly into the sun–cause you can do that in dreams–and within the fiery solar disc, the symbol for Venus was beautifully emblazoned.
After much research in old books by new-age thinkers, Gary discovered, quite remarkably, that on the very day his dream occurred, Venus was in fact transiting his sun! Completely wowed by the realization that Aphrodite, herself, had offered him an invitation to study the stars, an astrologer of great magnitude was born!
For more than a Jupiter return now–which is over twelve years to the uninitiated–Gary has amassed knowledge that, in my opinion, only the very wise could accrue.
I’ve learned a great deal from Gary’s regular Goddess Astrology podcasts–which you can track on itunes. But if you want to learn more, or receive your own pot of gold from a once-removed O’Hippie Leprechaunan astrologer, I suggest you let your cyber fingers do the walking and head on over to www.dreamastrologer.com Gary is seriously one of the more gifted practitioners of his art.
Note to any followers I may have snared in my trap: As my experience with writing these posts has slightly evolved, I now envision this blog as a place where everyone can share their strange brushes with the paranormal in a safe, cozy atmosphere that may possibly expand our collective awareness. Lofty aim, I know, but I enjoy a good loft, especially one with such a panoramic view of the universe.
