Ménage a Trois of the Most Unusual Kind
So. I have an energetic connection with two different men. It’s funny and odd and…I’m learning a lot from it. Of the two, I’m feeling the Ten of Pentacles more strongly these days. He’s lost and confused and really reaching out energetically to me. He’s no longer standing directly in front of me but his…

I Am So Fucked but Let Me Document It Lest I Forget or Don’t Believe It Later
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Passion to the Third Degree. Is it going to be like this with every man I form a connection with? And I’m not talking about sex. This did happen with my no-sex-but-really-wanted-to guy and did not happen, for example, with the boy I was with a while back.…

Relationships without Walls
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Passion to the Third Degree. I want a relationship where the communication is deep and the walls are few. That’s always the problem in a relationship, isn’t it? Lack of communication? The other person’s communication? We pride ourselves on being able to communicate. On telling the other person…

Facing the Blood-Red Storm
One of my “brood” is having a rough time right now. I know it because I can feel it. Not completely sure which one it is, male I think, but I’ve checked in on everyone I usually feel such connections to except for three, and two of them are male. I’m not likely to hear…

Results of Yesterday’s Directed Energy Experiment
To all of you who participated in yesterday’s experiment, thank you! I’d promised I would share what I noted. Many of my readers are energy workers or, at least, have a working knowledge of how to manipulate energy. Others are simply kind-hearted people who are in a similar place in their lives and find it…

Stepping Back from Grief When Possible
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Rising. Cho Seung Hui’s killing spree at Virginia Tech is riveting the nation in ways similar to 9/11 and Katrina, and me, I’m working hard to distance myself. I have good reason to. And this time, I don’t have to be close to the grief. Since…

Why Can’t I Be a Normal Girl?
Argh. I am so freaking tired. The energies have been so heavy today, following the Virginia Tech massacre as well as things closer to home that aren’t mine to deal with but I get them anyways…. I’d hoped to spend some time in ritual tonight, needed to for a calmer footing, but couldn’t find…

Emotional Intensity: Good, Bad, and Narrow
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree and Rising. Since when is emotional a bad word? The ultra-stoic Big Daddy of my career field used to call me “emotional” when he’d read an analytical report from me that he didn’t like. In spite of that, if he needed someone to prepare a case…

Kilter, Back On
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. I’m back on kilter. All it took was a conversation with my daughters over lunch and suddenly I understood. We compared dreams from last night and while they weren’t the same dreams exactly, the off-kilter feeling behind them was exact and there was…

Kilter, Off and On
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. Something is off kilter and I can’t quite place it. It’s a gorgeous spring weekend and I have tons of stuff to accomplish, with every intention of planting a few flowers and cutting back some old bushes, too, both in the literal and…

Growth of the Intuitive …and Difficult Lessons
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. When you’re intuitive and you work with other people who are intuitive, sometimes one senses things in the other person as if they’ve already happened. They haven’t. Yet. At least not on a level they recognize at that time. But those things are…

Still Bothered
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. I’m still bothered with some of the Law of Attraction followers, to the point I’ve decided to remove myself from further contact with certain people. Their self-righteousness really, really grates on my nerves. I’d like to be able to discuss it and practice…
