Happy October, all. Halloween and All Saints Days will soon be upon us. With the ever-terrifying seasonal holidays close behind. Halloween doesn't frighten me, it's a seasonal holidays. God, yes. The Don is attempting to facet a replica of the Hope Diamond in leaded glass in his spare time. With no curses. No, with no curses. I don't think he could think of any that were as bad as the ones in that one. I just hope not. Yeah, Gary is reading some profundity as usual. And Blaze has a new groomer, and she is even beautiful more beautiful than ever.
SPEAKER_00She's beautiful.
SPEAKER_01Beautiful, yes. And I am Sandy from Gemological Esoterica.
SPEAKER_00And I'm what's left of Linda Strochine of the Mercury Academy. And we are two dozy broths.
SPEAKER_01Well, before we get into the actual podcasting portion, we want to apologize for last month. We were trying new recording techniques and it didn't work. Didn't work too well. Didn't work too well. So we are back to back to normal, and as you can tell, back to my house because there's birds in the background. So anyway, we apologize. But my gosh, you guys must have loved it. We had like three times the number of downloads we normally had. So they must have liked something about it. Yeah, I think so. We just have to figure out what it was. So anyway, last month we were discussing energetic cleaning tips, and this month we would like to continue in that vein. But first, Linda has a couple of familial cleaning stories to offer.
SPEAKER_00Yes, well, growing up with a mother for whom cleaning was life. There are a lot of them, but this is one of them. And this isn't hers, actually. When my brother and his family were building their house, they stayed at my parents' house for a while. And the upper level where they were, there were bedrooms and there was the bathroom. That's where you guys used to live when you were kids, yeah. Yeah. The old family homestead.
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_00And Grandpa, my father, who art in heaven, decided that uh Katrina, the the niece, should uh should learn some responsibility. She already had responsibility, but he's he wanted her to clean the toilet upstairs. And so he gave her all the equipment and he said to do it. And she had this shocked look on her face, but she went up and she did it. And then uh my mother came home from wherever she had been, and Katrina ran up to Grandma and said, Grandpa made me clean the toilet. And he looked at her and he said, Well, I gave you a brush, but you made me clean the toilet, and it wasn't a toothbrush. And that would be the way your father would put it, too. He couldn't understand it. And later I talked to him and I said, The little princess doesn't clean the toilet. Have you ever seen in any of these movies a little princess with a toilet brush and some kind of cleaning supplies? I said, little princesses don't do that. Uh fortunately, she she is she grew up into someone who's really good at all of that. That's right. Because we all have the latent gene. There you go. Uh the other one is my uh my mother's mother. And uh she she called she and I talked several times a week. And once when we didn't, she uh when I called her, she said, Well, she said, I'm glad you called. She said, I was I was about to call and have the police check on you and see if you were still alive. And I knew she wasn't. That was how she supplied that.
SPEAKER_01That was her way of saying, Hi, how are you doing?
SPEAKER_00That was her idea of guilt, let's put it that way. It it always seemed to involve some sort of major authorities. Uh for my mother, it was always the Coast Guard. If I was home too late, she said, she'd say, I almost called the Coast Guard. I never could figure out where the Coast Guard. Anyway, so Grandma called me, or I called her, somebody called anybody, and I said, and she said, I just talked to your mother. She's washing clothes again. I think she's sick. Because my mother wouldn't wait until there was a big load. Oh. She loved washing clothes, and she'd do everything, all the little loads where things were all the delicates. And if if somebody had, my father always seemed to have tar or paint or something. And she loved that. She would go with less toil and a toothbrush or something, and she would just be so happy and she'd say, Oh, I almost got it out. But this is also a woman whose checkbook always had a balance and be neat. When hers was somehow messy, she'd use whiteout. Oh, okay. But no, those are those are those are a couple of my frightening cleaning stories.
SPEAKER_01There we go. Well, seriously, we would like to discuss things that you can do to get your space energetically in order for the upcoming holidays.
SPEAKER_00That would be good. Yeah. We discussed both spook shoe and energetic clearing spray last month. So if you missed it, please go back and listen to September's podcast. What kind of punishment is that we're giving these people?
SPEAKER_01Well, we want a few more hits on that really quick how that works.
SPEAKER_00Not one of our best efforts, but hey, there are a few gems hidden in there. So listen for the listen carefully. Listen carefully for the real information.
SPEAKER_01So I just want to offer just a couple of tips on things you can do to clean up your living space or office space, or both, or whatever. Gonna need it this year. And I I've done feng shui consultations for years. And the first thing when I go into someone's home is I point out the clutter. And I'll use the most horrible example of clutter I had ever walked into. Uh, there was this woman, and she was looking for love in all the wrong places, and she had in the corner of her living room multiple pink candles burning on the floor, and it had multiple wax spills in the carpeting. Oh, look. And it was this big molten mess. Now that's more than clutter, that's I don't know what that is. And then a few feet over was a it was a whole bunch of uh clothes tickets where you cut cut them off your clothes, how much they cost, because you bought them at wherever. Yeah. And there was this little pile of them in the middle of the floor, and I was like, It's a shrine. And I said, What is this? And she said, Well, I went on vacation a couple weeks ago and I cut all the tags or cut all the tags off and I packed the clothes, and I said, So what's the deal with the the tags? And she said, Well, I don't know, I'm just too lazy to go and pick them up and throw them away. And so the majority of what she or any of us is look for clutter and get rid of it. Don't have to look hard at our house. But and it's these things that some of it's garbage, some of it like those tags, that's garbage. Yes. Uh some of it like the candles was a firehouse. There was nothing you could do. There's a firehouse. But if something, the other thing, if something is broken, throw it away. You know, it's like, oh, it was great, great, great-grandmothers. But it's it's like two little pieces of glass in a corner, and it's like that's not doing you any good. So pick up, declutter, dust, go in the closets, go around a room and clap. That changes the energy. If you see something, pick it up. If it's doesn't belong there, put it away. And I hate to say it, but that's what most people are guilty of, and why their energy sucks in the house. Oh, yeah. Why they're not sleeping, why they're ill, why there's all these things. Pick it up and declutter. Pick it up, buttercup. Pick it up, buttercup. And that's basically that's what I'm gonna say about it is look around your house and do something about it, or your office, or clean out your drawers, or whatever it is. Everybody's got a drawer in the kitchen. So that's kind of what I was well.
SPEAKER_00Here are here are a couple other things. Because in uh in the vast world at large, energetically we're living in the approximation of a mosh pit. Woohoo. Woohoo! It along with what you talk about with just cleaning your space because it'll clear your mind, is to go through your home and figure out where you feel the yuckiest. Ah, there we go. And it probably doesn't have anything to do with the clutter, unless you've got a pumpkin fermenting in your on your floor.
SPEAKER_01Or you have a whole bunch of pink candles in the corner of the living room dripping.
SPEAKER_00Dripping forever and ever. And nothing has burned down yet. You're so you're very blessed. But you you look at all of the places in the house where bad energy can collect. And there probably won't, it won't be one big thing. There'll probably be one main one and little arterials. So look for the one main one. And excuse me, you can use, as we said, spook shoe or the energetic clearing spray, but you can also just take a little bit of salt and pepper, put it in a dish. If you've got pets, put it up high. If you've got cats, cover it. It can be it can be something made out of plastic, it can be Tupperware, it doesn't matter. Who has Tupperware anymore? I do. No, that's part of my clutter.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Part of me is still living in 1958. Oh no. Oh no, Mr. Bill. But uh you you and put that there and it will absorb. Okay. If you are a noticing person who will pay attention, you can take a potato, God's potato. It doesn't have to be a big one. Any any type is fine, russet, red, whatever. Exactly. And and small, small is good. Size does not matter in this. Okay. And you put it in the left hand, put the right hand over it, and envision it charged to absorb all of the bad energy in that area wherever it is. And then you put your hands on it, that closes it down. And you put it up high if you have to. And you you make sure that you get it down after. Make sure it's someplace where you will remember it. Yes.
SPEAKER_01Possibly a post-it note near it might help. But that would be clutter after you've taken it down, take it.
SPEAKER_00Exactly. After the potato's gone, get rid of the post note. The post-it note comes down also. Exactly. But it will absorb, and it sounds really silly, but it works, it absorbs energy. And potatoes take direction. They do. And so if you have something like that, you can do that wherever you have that bad energy. And when you throw the potato away, you just throw it away, you think a thank you because it absorbed all of whatever the bad energy is, and you're you're very grateful. And that's one thing that you can do. Can you throw that in the garbage, or does it have to be now set? Throw it in the you can throw it in the garbage.
SPEAKER_01Now I've heard people say the same thing about onions.
SPEAKER_00Is that correct? Yeah. So you can do it with onions. Onions are sort of if if all else fails. Oh, okay. Warning Will Robinson, danger, danger. Yeah, that's where onions come in. Okay. But you can't leave an onion too long. An onion is all of these are best if you put them up after the new moon and you take them down before the full moon. Okay. And so the potato, maybe you can leave the potato for several days. The onion, you got three days.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00Throw the onion. Is that because it absorbs so much? Yes, because the onion has all those filaments, like layers, like skin, those little filaments. Okay. And you get really quick absorption, layer, layer, layer. And because an onion is so much has so much more moisture, it is going to go quick a lot sooner.
SPEAKER_01Now, could you okay, could we those are both basically root vegetables?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Could you do that with any root vegetable? And I'm I'm just I'm not being facetious. I'm it's like, could you do it with like uh like carrots, or could you do it with like turnips or something like that also? Or is it no?
SPEAKER_00Uh carrots have their own identity. Okay. Uh and turnips may work, but it gets us into sorney territory because the original uh pumpkin that people used at Halloween, because in Europe they didn't have pumpkins, right? They hadn't was a turnip. Oh, okay. And if you look out on Google and you look up the Halloween turnip, it is scarier than the pumpkin ever. Oh, well, there you go, people. If you're looking for something to scare you for Halloween. Yeah, just get it get a turnip and and put it out and put a little face in it, and then you'll see after the course of days the the uh all of the things that happen. That's one of the reasons they use those in order to uh have people uh to deal with death because the the turnip would emulate sort of how the body decomposes.
SPEAKER_01Ah, inter that's interesting. I'm glad I asked that one.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, inquiring minds wanted to.
SPEAKER_01There we go. Well, I guess we've added both your brains and our brains after we've talked about turnips. Uh again, after the spook shoe thing, we do have spook shoe on hand right now, and we do have energetic clearing spray. If you are local to the Twin Cities, you can give me a call or contact me. You guys basically know how to do that. You do it all the time. Yes. Let me know as long as it's in stock. As long as it's in stock. As long as it's in stock. So, anyway, for another month, I am Sandy from Gemalogical Esoterica.
SPEAKER_00And I am more of Linda Strochane of the Mercury Academy. And we remain two dozy broths. Goodbye.
