Store Updates
US Equivalent Pricing
In December we offered US Equivalent Pricing on all of our books, CD's and tarot cards until January 1st, 2008 at which time we were to determine the sustainability of this offer depending on the strength of the dollar as well as the support from our suppliers. After our analysis we have decided to continue this offer with as many of our products as possible, however, there will be some items that we cannot offer at US prices. These products will have a price sticker on them to indicate that they are not included in the offer.
We want to continue to support our Canadian suppliers as well as keep our store well stocked; therefore some items will still come from Canadian suppliers. Unfortunately Canadian suppliers are charged 10 - 15% more by publishers on books shipped to Canada due to the extra cost of doing business in Canada . Because of this extra cost, we have been told that the Canadian price and US price printed on the back of books will never be equal, but they will be much closer than they have in the past. Both the Divine Mine and our Canadian suppliers will continue to bring you the best prices possible. We thank you for your understanding and your continued support.
Happy New Year!!

Children of Now: Shedding light on the evolution of humanity
By Susan Verhoogt, Reiki Master & Healing Touch Practitioner @ the Divine Mine
Quite frequently our youngsters today are children who are very sensitive and intuitive. Many children have a hard time finding a place in society to 'fit in'. The children - who are often referred to as Indigo's, Crystals and Rainbow children - are often misdiagnosed with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) or ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) or autism and are often misunderstood and be thought of as 'problematic' and are being put on drugs like Ritalin to keep them 'under control'.
The Children of Now in a Nutshell...
The children are referred to as Indigo, Rainbow or Crystal because of the colors that are seen by a clairvoyant in their auric field. The children who would be referred to as Indigo's are children with a true warrior spirit. They absolutely don't like structure and discipline; they want to do it their own way. The Crystals are children who don't have that warrior spirit as much and neither do the Rainbow children. However, they all do have some commonalities; all of the children are extremely sensitive to processed foods and chemicals. You can see their behavior change almost instantly after they have been given processed foods-even food that is supposed to be healthy like dairy and wheat. Refined sugar has a strong effect and so does red dye. Krystine Dahl, hypnotherapist at the Divine Mine told me that she has seen children bang their head against the wall for hours after eating food with red dye in it. All 'children of now' are extremely sensitive and intuitive.
Another way to recognize the children of now is that they have eyes that seem to look right through you; there is a wisdom in their eyes that is far beyond their earthly years. It seems that the child knows you, that there is a sense of recognition. Even the toddlers and babies will lock their eyes on you and follow you wherever you go. If you don't have a child yourself, pay attention to these children next time you go to the mall.
Are these children mysterious?
The answer is no. Physically, these children are born with extra strands of DNA. Scientific research has shown that some of the children are even immune to diseases like aids. I think to see children like the ones we see today has everything to do with human evolution. With time speeding up and our awareness evolving at the speed of light it won't take years and years for us as a human species to evolve. We can almost see it happen before our very eyes!
Supporting Parents and Children
From a strictly psychological point of view the children are misdiagnosed and often times parents as well as children are left in the dark. What society fails to understand is that there is often nothing wrong with the children, but more so the way our systems are set up won't work any longer. We need to find ways to teach the children in a way that fits their way of learning, which is quite different from what we are used to. It is important to know there are other ways of working with the children; they teach us there are other ways of doing things and they do not have to be fixed or drugged.
To assist the children and parents on their journey Susan will be teaching Usui Reiki classes for children. The classes will be divided in two age groups; from 6-12 years and teens classes from 13- 17 years and are tailored to each age group. Click here for more information.
Child of Light
I turn my head and your eyes look into my soul
I see your gentle, loving spirit and I become lost in your light
I know you and you know me
You ask for my help and I hear your call
Thank you, for recognizing me
I will not fail you

Capricorn
December 22, 2007 - January 19, 2008
By Carl Klimuk, Astrologer, Master Herbologist & Wholistic Practitioner @ the Divine Mine
The ingress of the Sun into the sign of Capricorn rings in the winter season.
Generally, when the Sun (the central life force of our solar system) enters into a sign it affects every one of us in some way, when it passes into the sign of Capricorn it is a time when we bring our focus into the responsibilities in our lives, order, organization and goals.
Capricorn is the sign that reminds us of both duty and honour. Capricorn is the sign of the great builder, when you see the Pyramids of Egypt or Mexico , the Great Wall of China , or the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco , the spirit of Capricorn lives in all of the great engineering and technical wonders of the world. Capricorn tries to build bridges and fill in the gaps, it does this not only in the physical sense, but also on a more emotional and spiritual level as well. Wherever Capricorn sees something that is broken in our lives be it a relationship, our careers or health, Capricorn tries to motivate us into fixing it. And how? By creating a structure, a form, in other words... A goal. Capricorn is like the engineer who is faced with the problem of creating a vision, the engineer works around this problem by first creating a blueprint. The blueprint is likened to setting a goal. In other words when we are faced with a problem, don't sit around concentrating and putting time and energy into the problem, rather Capricorn tries to remind us to concentrate on the solution instead. Far too often do we find ourselves thinking about the problem and not enough on the solution.
It is no coincidence that the period of Capricorn occurs at the beginning of the New Year in the Gregorian calendar. Think of the term "New Years resolution". The New Year is a period that is supposed to herald in a "new" beginning, a time of self improvement and a setting of goals. This is a time to lay out a blueprint for many areas of our lives that need improvement. Also Capricorn reminds us about being more responsible for our own actions as well as for all sorts of responsibilities that we have in our lives. So how do we take care of so many tasks? Capricorn also teaches us about organization. Before we can accomplish anything we must first learn how to organize our thoughts and actions. Imagine how difficult walking would be if there was no organization or rhythm to our steps, the result would be that we stumble. Communication would be impossible if everybody just spoke random words without an organized coherence. So Capricorn teaches that everything must occur in steps, one thing at a time, and in doing so great things can be accomplished.
Capricorn will govern over the 5th house region this month indicating a time that is meant to focus on our creativity and expression. Take the time to explore creative pursuits in your life, this is also a time when many people may feel the urge to gamble or engage in sports. Attention on children will also be highlighted this month. This will also be a month to enhance your self-esteem and confidence.
When we want to take a peak at what could be major issues in the outside world we must use what is called mundane Astrology and look at the houses in a chart for information. Saturn the ruler of Capricorn will be in the 12th house region this month which can indicate issues surrounding hospitals, prisons, charities or crime related news may make headlines. Also aviation or motion picture related news may also come up.
Carl will be facilitating an Astrology workshop on Saturday, January 19. Click here for more information.

Love Thyself
By Leslie Martin, Reiki Master, RMT and Spiritual Medium @ The Divine Mine
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."
- Carl Rogers, psychologist
Emotions tough, forced to the surface... the hard shell cracking, the landslide eerily close, the branch snapping. Why?... the heart asks. The pain triggering fear - the familiar place of escape, self-abandonment, recrimination, victimhood. The strangling of life, breath, love. The inner child gasping for air, sustenance, survival, love... punishment received - acceptance lost.
The artist paints, ever present in the expression, the paintbrush stroking the canvas, free in its movement. The colors rushing forth with abandon, encompassing the senses, emotionally expansive in its depth. The painting rich in complexity, an abstract of design, yet simple in clear, unforced passion... a reflection of honesty. Intense in diversity - pure in its form. An imperfect masterpiece.
The new self emerges, shedding its skin, the layers peeled back... revealing a new spring, blossoms gently unfolding, a healing transformation of spirit... a letting go by letting out. A commitment pledged to please no more... Ruthlessly unattached. A newfound vision to honor, respect and love oneself at all costs. A disruption of peace calmed, serenity found, a sanctuary discovered, love received. Full Acceptance. The authentic self reborn.
The river flows unbounded, always changing form, free in its direction, an expression undefined, gently unfolding in the moment, expansive in its search for new waters, unencumbered by all, clear in its being.
It is.
I am.
"Be patient with yourself... There is
never a good enough reason to take away loving."
- John-Roger
