TIMELY ARTICLE: 1960S HAPPEINING: REBELLIONS
WHEN FLOWER POWER ERUPTS IN FIRE POWERIn City of Redemption.
Someone sent an article to me found while searching the internet about my novels.
It's on my second novel, City of Redemption, which is rather different from my first novel, The Skye in June.
See how to get a free ebook offer below.
After the phone interview and the rush of book events I'd forgotten to check when the article would be out .
Curiously there's been a surge of interest recently in this story. People asking how was it in the sixties with all the social and political changes - the same happening today, right?
Like the headline Flower Power Erupts into Fire Power - it did. Like now with the rebellions around the world, standing up to the dominate regimes. The youth of today being heard, taking action,
I'm really glad the article was sent. It links me to more interested in the story - all over the world. Cool, far out, groovy....
City is about sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, lies, betrayal and murder taking place during The Summer of Love.
You probably thought it was all peace man, get high - there was a lot of that and....well, the article will cover it.
I lived in San Francisco - yes I was a Flower Power Child with an edge, being more of a City chick to the peace and flower youth that came to San Francisco - ah the memories of all the great happenings like free concerts at Golden Gate Park, all night parties - the whole shabang.
Know what I mean?
Black Panthers on the scene, LSD awakening and expanding the mind. Sadly, for some, destroying minds.
It was a crazy time for sure! - great music like Janis Joplin who lived in the same neighborhood the story takes place and I lived - The Castro. Would see her tootling around in her sports car.
And the fashion. As wild and colorful as the times.
I've seen fashion in 2019 resembling that era. Haven't you?

Would you please spread the word around the world about this crazy time of great upheaval?

LETTER TO THE DEAD: A HALLOWEEN RITUAL
REMEMBERANCEA LETTER TO YOUR DEPARTED LOVED ONES
Have you thought of writing to a loved one who has died? Telling her or him about how much you enjoyed your time together? How your life is? Perhaps asking for some guidance?
You aslo might write a note to a departed one patching things up that weren't fixed before they passed away.
At my annual Gala Hallowe'en Event the new addition to the ritual ceremony was much appreciated - The Remembrance Table with notepaper and pens.
Guests were invited to write a departed loved one a note or simply her/his name.
Soon the basket filled up.
We then had our Ritual Celebration with music and audience particpation about Hallowe'en and why and how it's celebrated.
Afterward, the basket with the purple cloth -(color signifying the 7th Crown chakra) was placed on the altar.
I let the guests know that on All Hallow's Eve (Halloween) I will say a prayer to the spirits before sending their notes to the heavens or as pagan's say, "Slumberland" inviting the dead relatives and friends to visit their petitioners.
Perhaps you too will write a note and burn it in a fire safe container, thinking of your loved one and she or he will come to visit you tonight or in the following days.
So Mote it Be.

PSYCHIC INFO: HOW DO YOU DO IT?
READINGS OR SPIIRT COMMUNICATIONHOW DO YOU RECEIVE YOUR PSYCHIC INFORMATION?
I'm often asked how do you get my psychic information?
Here's a reading and example of how I give messages from spirits from the dead
A Youtube video:
https://youtu.be/8a0qtJrcYgI
You're picking up physic information everyday by sight, ear and feeling to help you navigate life and understand the world around you. Does this mean you're psychic? Yes, to a degree. Only, most likely you've not been trained nor encouraged to trust your psychic mind.
Do you read minds? Well, kinda. But the client's subconscious mind and their Akashic records.
Spirits, that's different. I do not read their minds, but rather engage with their energies. And, they only tell and show what they want to.
Do you "see" it? Often. Can be a face, or parts of it like the eyes. Might be an image, an animal, a place or object
What I like best is when I psychically "hear" information, which can include names and dates. Then I just repeat it and yes, at times, my voice and/or tone will change.
The "feeling" psychically I've got to work harder to put understandable words to the feelings.
The "seeing" in my mind's eye is good when describing a person, place, animal and/or object then I have to psychically see what it means to the person receiving the information. Often I just ask, "What does (whatever or whomever) mean to you?"
Spirits usually are easy to communicate with if they come through clearly and speak up, I say! Speak up! Spirits that hang back in the shadows I ask to come forward or closer. If they've been dead for a long time images and words can be faint - then I'm really working for my money.
Review author June Ahern's books: two about paranormal and parapsychology subjects and two novels. The Skye in June a readers favorite with near 700 overall positive reviews.

IMAGE CANDLES WITH HANDFASTING CEREMONY
Handfasting is an ancient Celtic tradition for "tying the knot" - wedding ceremony, As an officiant at weddings and as part of the handfasting I add image candles.
More Traditional White WedIt's a lovely tradition where different colored ribbons or cords are loosely tied around a couples hands as vows are exchanged and/or sacred words are spoken with each ribbon or as the cord is draped over the hands. Then the ribbons (cord) is loosely tied.
There are various ways to tie the knot and how it is done is up to the couple and/or officiant.
I've enjoyed officiating at weddings since 1992, which started because one of my sisters asked me to do it. Since then, family, friends and recommended others have invited me to be their "minister" - officiate. Each wedding has been a bit different in vows and celebrations and all, wonderfully lovely.
What I've always included is couple candles also known as image candles; an added sacredness with vows or special words spoken as the candles are lit.
Red: passion
Sometimes I use a man and woman candle of different colors. After they have burned completely down I do a psychic reading of the mixed blended colors of the candles wax for the couple.
Who lights whose? Each person can light her or his own or exchange lighting. Vows/words can be spoken as they do. I.E. "You are the light of my life" or "You light me up."
At my last wedding the message was quite clear early on during the melting of the wax.
See how the wax on one (bride) candle dropped over to the other (groom) in the shape of a heart? Beautiful, isn't it and if not for a guest seeing it, I wouldn't have captured this magical message - giving her heart completely to her husband.
There are many different kinds of couple - wedding - candles to choose from. You don't have to wait for a wedding. Hubby and I marked our anniversaries by lighting the image candles. Enjoy celebrating your love!
In this blog there's more about handfasting and pagan weddings.
You can choose the color to best describe your love relationship.
A passionate orange coupling.

HI. I'M JUNE AHERN AUTHOR OF FOUR BOOKS.
What was one of the best part of writing The Skye in June
about a Scottish immigrant family living in
San Francisco, California circa 1960s?
Which character do I most identify with?
Why did I dedicate to ....
Listen to my 15 minute book interview
YouTube
Readers have a lot to say why they love this story over 600 overwhelming positive reviews.
My words of inspiration to any of you reading this is, record something special - that one time, maybe one day of your life and share it with a friend or two, a family member.
Maybe it was something funny, or a chance meeting of a special person or you revived an award - what makes you an interesting person?
Another suggestion is look for colorful, enticing words - that means read other books for ideas and/or "listen"- yes, listen o conversations - like in ears drop. What word catches your ear?
It's fun writing - you don't have to think about publishing but do think about cleaning up your story so grammarica errors don't override the enjoyment of the story.
Okay, on to listening to why I wrote my most loved story (over 600 overwhelming positive reviews from various book sites. Check them out, Amazon, US, UK,Japan, France, Goodreads, Barns&Noble,Smashwords, june ahern dot come to name some.

CELTIC WOMAN, MOONWILLOW: A FINE WITCH INDEED
Photo from 7 Witches CovenBorn in Scotland, my heart belongs to the Celts. Raised amongst strong, vivacious and loving women I celebrate women's strength worldwide.
My soul led me to the Goddess, to know I am a Witch. Blessed be.
Now I honor a Celtic woman friend, who's poems and books I enjoy MoonWillow.
Excerpted from From Voices of the Ancients & the Shining Ones - New Edition, MoonWillow
Celtic Women are strong and truly independent women who live their lives to be free
We are born into this world knowing this is our birthright and how it is meant to be
We wear our battle scars of protecting those we love with such a deep and avid pride
We are fiercely protective of our kin and those we love and will defend this with our lives
We are stubborn independent women and to some we may come across as quite fierce
We're blessed with affinity with the natural magick that comes to us all instinctively
We work with the blessed powers of the ancients and our ancestors so rhythmically
We know to walk softly upon mother earth as she blesses and nurtures us with her grace
We know we're all as one as we connect with each other no matter your origins or race
