A Day in Toronto


Instead of driving to Toronto, we took the train and walked and took public transport. Mostly we walked! This is what we saw...

 The grand station of Toronto
 Us in front of the famous needle.
We're on our way up to the top for lunch.


Colourful statues of woodpeckers climb poles right in front of the needle.
They were doing a lot of construction at the base of the CN Tower [the Needle].
They're building a huge aquarium there. It will be spectacular when finished. Maybe we'll have to come back and see it.

 It was such a clear day, we had all these lovely views from the restearant as it slowly revolved.







There were two of these little drawings on the windows. I thought it was cute. Yes, that's the sky as the background.

Squirrels! I finally got some photos of these cute little creatures.


 Yeah, I know they're technically vermin, but.... they're sooooo cute!

 Kings College of Ontario.
 King Edward VII



New glass buildings stand beside the old buildings in this city.
 The old parts of Ontario.


This stunning building is the Royal Ontario Museum. 







We spent most of the day in there just looking at the exhibits. We didn't see it all.

See how the old museum seems to have been swallowed by the new, glass structure? On the inside it is wonderful. You walk around the old building and suddenly you are in the new building. They have preserved all the old building inside the new one. Quite stunning to see.

Casting the Stones

Long before the Tarot became synonymous with fortune telling, Gypsies used the natural world around them to help them see into the troubled hearts of those who came seeking knowledge and guidance.
River stones, gems, crystals, sticks, needles and bones were often used by the dunkerer [dukkerer] or palm reader.
I love using my own set of river stones that I personally hand picked and charged with healing energy.
When I read, I'm not so much telling a fortune, as looking into the heart of the energy surrounding the person I'm reading for. I believe this gives a more accurate insight into what is at the heart of a problem or situation and can provide real, down to earth ways of helping people deal with what life sometimes throws at them.
Casting the stones is something I love and I hope to continue with my readings for as long as life will allow.
