Setting Lights!

Setting lights for the needs of others is a time honored service provided by spiritual candle shops that involves the lighting of a candle that has been empowered with specific oils, herbs, powers and prayers, all of which are aligned towards manifesting your particular need.

We believe in the power of prayer, the reality of magic, and in the tradition of setting lights to express our needs and desires to the Divine. As ministers and rootworkers we will dress, bless, and light candles on your behalf. Although we cannot guarantee that your every wish will be answered, we are proud of the results we have seen in our spiritual practice and hope to repeat such results for you.

This Custom Service Costs Just
$20

We will create magical sigils designed from your name and need, draw them upon your candle, dress it with appropriate herbs and oils, charge it with energy and prayer, and light it on your behalf.

We will email you a brief follow-up report with a photo of your candle after its process is complete, providing insights as to how well your spell progressed based on how the candle burned.

Sonja Kydd, Our New Reader for Mondays & Wednesdays

2011-04-06T00:35:00.000-07:00

Sonja Kydd is an Angel Therapist Practitioner®, certified by Doreen Virtue, PhD., as well as an intuitive, psychic, medium, writer, artist, Reiki healer, certified Massage Therapist and Ayurvedic Health Counselor.

Born and raised next to the majestic Mt. Shasta, Sonja has always been connected to her higher guidance. Her passion is to help others tap into their own inner guidance, self-healing, higher self, past-lives, angels and guides using clairvoyant channeling, intuition, Ayurvedic knowledge and angel oracle cards.

At the age of 22, Sonja took a respite from working on her Journalism degree at Chico State. She traveled alone to India to study the 5,000 year old ancient Eastern medicine, Ayurveda, or the “Science of Self-Healing.” This course of study now allows her to help people integrate herbs, essential oils, massage, nutrition and daily routine according to each individual’s constitution (body type) in order to maximize health and potential leading to a balanced state of life.

After graduating from college and unclear of the next step, Angel Therapy literally fell into Sonja’s lap -- inspiring, uplifting and motivating her to take her healing work to the next level. Within three months she moved to the Big Island of Hawaii to study Angel Therapy with Dr. Doreen Virtue to hone her natural psychic and mediumship abilities. After studying with several other top psychic professionals, she has now moved back to Bay area where she works in service of the Goddess to spread the loving, compassionate divine feminine energy wherever she goes.

Use of Rue in magic is ancient and sacred in many cultures such as Santeria and the witchcraft tradition of Strega. Uses for Rue water vary. Washing one's hands with it is said to bring wealth, whereas washing one's brow allegedly aids with psychic sight. It is also a protective herb, and is traditionalyy added to a bath to rid a person of evil influences.

The Greening Of Springtime

2010-03-15T15:14:00.000-07:00

This weekend was our best yet this year. We entice our loadstone to hunt more money each day, and when he does his job well he gets spritzed with cologne, or given a whiskey bath, or as in the case of this incredible weekend we bathe him in champagne (not the expensive kind but what does he know). Yet a toast goes out to all of you as well for your continued support and magic. Blessings to you all.

Even more Calendars!

2009-12-10T16:59:00.000-08:00

And today the much coveted Jim Maynard 2010 astrological calendars have finally arrived...

One thing that makes these calendars so great is not only are they the most accurate and detailed astrological calendars around, but they are also printed in Pacific time, making the reading of the astrological influences a breeze for us West Coasters.

We have a selection of each of the styles: The Celestial Influences Wall Calendar... the Celestial Guide (spiral-bound desk calendar), the Astrologer's Datebook (a smaller perfect-bound booklet size calendar), and the ever popular Pocket Astrologer are all here! Let there be much rejoicing!

But hurry! People have been coming in daily to ask for these so they are sure to fly out of here... we already have been selling a bunch of them since they came in this afternoon, and so I have more on order but there's no guarantee that I'll be able to get more after that. Come on down to The Mystic Dream and see what's in the stars for you this coming year!

2010 Calendars!

And stay tuned for the Jim Maynard astrological calendars which should be arriving any time this week!

Rainy Evening At The Mystic Dream

2009-12-06T20:44:00.000-08:00

The rain reached Walnut Creek late today. It was a refreshing change. Here at the shop we upped the heat a notch, put out some coffee to share, and switched the music to our Blues selection. Decided it was a great time to craft some oils, mixing 'Watchful Eye of Protection' and an 'Uncrossing' before I realized that the hours had somehow blown by. Listened to Kola read from Eckhart Tolle between her readings, which made it sound so much more deep than what I had previously read on my own.

Special Thanks!

2009-12-05T20:38:00.001-08:00

Thanks to Lia for leading tonight's Reiki Share, and as always for remembering to include the prayer papers from the store's Healing Altar (given the flu that's been going around I know the requests were many).

Celestite

2009-12-05T10:32:00.001-08:00

This morning I find myself drawn to the beautiful pieces of Celestite we recently brought in. Celestite is noted to be a healing stone, and I am in the process of shaking an aweful cough, so that may be part of the present allure. Yet they are such lovely stones that I cannot see how anyone would not be drawn to them. A soft blue color, just gazing at one acts as a lozenge to sooth your frenzied holiday season mood. Beyond that, I spent some time researching the stone, and found that crystal intuitives attribute many benefits to it. It is said to inspire creativity; to bring about peace; to stimulate clairvoyance; and to aid in one's enlightenment.

Blessings
Chas

Latest Shipment

2009-12-04T18:10:00.000-08:00

Spell: Attracting Faeries to Your Garden

2009-05-18T01:01:00.000-07:00

We've been quite remiss in our intended weekly postings, so in order to help correct that may we present the following spell:

Attracting Faeries to Your Garden

It is sometimes said that the faery spirits still dwell beneath the hills and mounds; in wild places untouched by human hand. It is thought that while they once lived in concert with humankind, they have long ago receded into the mists, passing beyond the veil that separates our world of what is seen, and into the land of dreams and myths. But they are here, with us even now; living just beyond the periphery of our normal sight, waiting for us to learn how to live in harmony with the land.

Toward that end we can begin a simple practice so that we can open our awareness so that we may learn how to perceive and attract the fey into our own “wild spaces”, whether that be in a forest, on a ranch, or even in our own suburban backyard!

Items needed:
A space outdoors where you won’t be disturbed
A small sage bundle
A small cup or glass of fresh water
A few brightly colored crystals or stones (rose quartz, amethyst, lapis, and the like work great)
Some brightly colored ribbon of a natural fiber
some living flowers (not cut! These will be planted.)
A small shovel
Some small windchimes
A stick or cone of sweet incense
A small bowl of whole milk
A small portion of honey

Go to your chosen outdoor place where you wish to draw the faeries. Light the sage bundle and purify yourself by “washing” your aura with the smoke. You may wish to likewise smudge the general area and all of your ritual items.

Create a little altar for the faerie folk by arranging the colored stones in a circle and hanging the chimes nearby. Tie the ribbons so that they stream from the top of the chime or on a nearby plant or structure so that they flow in the breeze. Dig a small hole in the middle of your stone circle and place both hands over the hole and make a prayer:

“Spirits of the land;
Shining Ones,
You who dwell beneath the surface
I make this offering that we may live in harmony.”

Take up the flowers and inhale their scent. Plant the flowers as an offering to the faeries and as a sign that you respect the powers of natural life. Take hold of the glass of water and place your hands over it while you make your prayer for renewal of the land. Water the flowers with this blessed water.

Light the incense and offer some of the milk and honey to the local faerie spirits. Sit in meditative silence for several minutes and ask for the faeries to come. Make a pledge to visit the faerie shrine regularly to refresh the offerings.

Love Mojo

2009-03-14T14:40:00.000-07:00

A Mojo Bag To Attract Love

Ingredients:
A Small, Red, Drawstring Bag
Pinch of Cinnamon
Pinch of Damiana
Dried Rose Petals
Small Lodestone
Name Paper*
Red and Black Pens
A Personal Concern**
Cologne (Hoyts or Strong Love)
Incense (Love Drawing)

The following was presented by Chas Bogan at The Mystic Dream on March 5th and 7th as part of ongoing classes on magic called The Mystic Cauldron. Visit our ‘Events’ page to learn about future classes.

To begin, you will need to write out a name paper*. For the paper itself you should use something clear of markings; this could include high-end parchment or parchment paper, or simply a square torn from a grocery bag. A piece about 5 by 5 inches works well, as it can be folded small enough to fit well inside the bag. Begin writing on the paper with a word describing that which you wish to attract. Since this is a love spell, you may write the name of a specific person you wish to attract, or if you have no one specific in mind but simply wish to draw a lover to you then focus on a specific attribute you desire, such as with a word like ‘masculine’ or ‘rich.’ You will write this word three times, one under the other in the center of the paper, preferably in red ink. Now, turn the paper clockwise 90 degrees, and with a black pen write your own name thrice in a row so that it crosses the words written in red. In this manner you are symbolically taking control of that which is beneath your name in the lighter ink. Next, you will encircle all this. Writing in cursive with your black pen, without lifting the pen, write the word ‘love’ again and again until your word completes a circle in which your desire and your name are contained. Now, you will fold your paper. It is important, because we are doing magic to draw love to us, that we fold the paper towards us each time and not away from us. You will fold your paper three times before placing it in your mojo bag.

Open your red bag and place in it a pinch of cinnamon, damiana and some dried rose petals. Next, choose a small lodestone (remember that this is an object you will want to carry on your person without it being too bulky). The last object to go into the bag is your personal concern**, which can be a fingernail clipping and bit of your hair. With your mojo bag full now, tie the end. You will need to wrap the strings around the neck of the bag and tie it several times to seal it tight. Keeping with tradition, an odd number of knots are best.

Next you will perfume your bag, touching it to the mouth of your cologne bottle five times like the arrangement of dots on a die. Lastly you will light some incense, a love-drawing variety being preferred. Hold your bag near the smoke, then blow the smoke onto it, imagining that your exhale is passing into your bag the breath of life. Now is an ideal time to name your bag. This can be as simple as ‘Love Mojo’ or ‘Little Cupid,’ something that feels right to you. Announce to your bag its name, and you are done. Carry this bag with you, and allegedly love will be drawn your way.

A Love Spell

2009-02-18T11:52:00.001-08:00

A Love Spell

Items Needed:

A red “Knob” candle

A small piece of rose quartz

a red pouch or bag

Some rose petals

A love-drawing oil

A piece of parchment paper

A small saucer

This spell is to be performed for seven consecutive nights during a waxing moon.

Prepare a petition paper by writing your name three times in the center on the parchment.

Around this in a circle, write out a short sentence describing what you wish to draw toward you (“A kind and loving man”, “a beautiful and caring woman”, etc.) As you do this, make sure that your pen never lifts from the paper until the circle is complete. Do not cross your T’s or dot your I’s until you are finished. If you make a mistake, tear up the paper and begin again.

Next, draw hearts or other symbols that convey the idea of love to you. Place them in the four corners of the paper, and draw arrows from them pointing to the writing in the center with your name. If you work with other symbols of power then feel free to include them as well. Anoint the four corners and the center of the paper with your love-drawing oil. Sprinkle some of the rose petals on the paper and then fold the paper in half toward you. Turn it 90 degrees clockwise and fold again. Repeat this process, always folding toward you, until you cannot fold it any more. Place it in the very center of your altar and place the saucer upside down on top of it.

Dress your candle with the love-drawing oil and make a heart-felt prayer for love to enter into your life. Conjure up feelings of being in love. Imagine your prayer as already being answered and feel how wonderful it is to have love in your life. Place it on top of the saucer and place the rose quartz in front of it.

Make a ring of rose petals on your altar so as to encircle everything within it. Light the candle and allow one knob to burn down and then snuff the flame (do NOT blow it out!)

The next night, light the candle again and allow another knob to burn down before snuffing. Continue this for each of the seven nights until the candle burns completely down. Gather up the rose quartz, the petition paper, and the rose petals, and place them in the red bag. Carry this with you and do not let it be seen by anyone else. When your love manifests in your life, take this bag to a crossroads and bury it. It is done.

Back from Pantheacon

2009-02-18T11:52:00.000-08:00

We are returning to the store after a great weekend at the convention. So many great folk were met and we look forward to seeing many of you visit our shop in the following days.

Candle Divination Tips

2009-02-04T10:32:00.000-08:00

Throughout February we are exploring various techniques of candle magic. Today we are posting a bit about candle divination, listed below are associations related to the flame of your candle.

Strong flame: A tall, full flame is a positive sign, expressing the vitality of the magic working in your favor.

Weak Flame: Your work may lack passion, or else forces such as luck or an adversary may be opposing you. If the flame remains weak for the full duration of the spell it may indicate that the condition you wish to achieve will come to pass only with much effort on your part.

Erratic Flame: When a flame repeatedly alternates between burning tall and low it may indicate conflict. Perhaps you are actually uncertain that the target of your spell is what is best, or else another person may be working against your will.

Active Flame: A flame will jump or flicker when seeking your attention. The difference between an active and erratic flame is that the former is strong. Meditate on your intentions, and address any spirits you have asked to aid your spell to see if they are speaking to you.

Dead Flame: Magic is not working for you. The forces at variance to your will may be stronger than the energy released from your spell. Evaluate your goal, and perhaps try a different approach or spell.

Sparking flame: This may be another way for the spirits to get your attention, or the spark may represent barriers that are being blown up by your magic. Typically a positive sign.

Purification Candle Spell

2009-02-03T02:03:00.000-08:00

Each week in February features a new spell built around candle magic. Come by and pick up a free handout about this week's Purification Spell.

Our staff is here to assist you with any questions concerning how you might enhance your candle magic.

February is Candle Month

2009-02-01T23:38:00.000-08:00

February is all about candles and the magic we make with them. Each month this year has a unique theme, which we celebrate with new products, spells, rituals, classes and, as always, education offered by our adept staff. Stop by our store and stay tuned to our blog in order to bring some of the magic we are igniting into your own life. The fire was lit tonight by our own Storm Faerywolf, whose well attended candle class has set our intention for a miraculous month.

Purification Rite

Items needed:

2 white candles

Uncrossing (or Van Van) oil

Uncrossing Bath salts

A glass of cool, fresh water

Begin by dressing the two candles with the oil. Pray over them and ask that you be purified in body, mind, and spirit. Place them outside your bathtub about 2-3 feet apart in such a way so as to create a “gateway” through which you may walk as you enter and exit the tub.

Draw a warm bath and add the Uncrossing bath salts (or, alternatively Uncrossing or Van Van oil added to a cup of whole milk). Pray over the water and ask to be cleansed.

Light the candles and ask that they transform any negativity within and around you into pure, divine light. Enter the bath and bathe in complete, reverent silence for at least several minutes.
Hold the glass of water in front of you so as to catch some of the candlelight within it. Once more, make a prayer and ask that all of your impurities be transformed into divine light. Breathe three breaths out upon the surface of the water, imagining it now shining with the power of your prayer. Drink it down and know that you are taking this transformation deep within you.

Drain the tub and capture a small portion of the bathwater in your glass. Step out and through the gateway of the candles feeling that you are leaving all your troubles behind you. Take the water you have captured outside and throw it against a large, strong tree. It is done.

A Year in Retrospect

2008-10-25T11:55:00.000-07:00

"Dolphin Dream" was first opened in 1989 and has served the Bay Area's spiritual communities with purpose and heart ever since. Last year when we took over as the new owners we vowed to breathe some new life into this staple of Walnut Creek's downtown. We have been working hard to grow the store in new ways that will make it more relevant, more diverse, and more stylish than ever before. Part of that new growth has been to represent even more spiritual traditions... by bringing in sacred texts... making sure that even small or obscure spiritual and religious traditions and practices (as well as new takes on the major ones) have a place on our shelves. Part of that new growth has been to include a more diverse selection of readers and teachers... whether you want Tarot, or Runes, or Shells, Astrology, Meditation or Qigong, Witchcraft, Reiki, Massage, Rootwork, or a Psychic Medium, we have someone here to serve your needs. And finally part of that new growth has been to re-vision the store, moving things around... improving the Feng Shui, bringing in more color, more style, and even changing the name of the store; now The Mystic Dream has the benefit of all of this renewed focus & direction and is better equipped to serve the ever growing needs of the Bay Area's spiritual communities as we move into the 21st century.

This coming Saturday, Nov. 1st, is a very special date. Not only does it mark the beginning of the Celtic New Year (Samhain, meaning "Summer's End") but it also marks exactly one year since Storm and Chas took over. In addition to acquiring the store, this year we were happy to have had the opportunity to get legally married, something that we never thought we'd be able to do in our almost 16 years together. As we look back over the past year we are grateful for the love and support that so many of you have shown both to the store, and to us personally. To help us celebrate, please come and join us as we mark the store's 19 years in business, our recent marriage, and our One-Year Anniversary as the new proprietors of Walnut Creek's premiere Spiritual Marketplace. On Saturday, Nov. 1st, we will be celebrating all day with champagne, 10% off all merchandise (excluding magazines), and by making a purchase that day you automatically be entered into a raffle to win a $100 Gift Card good for any merchandise in the store! We will choose the winner at random and make an announcement on our blog and in the store on Sunday, Nov. 2nd.

So do take some time to come by this Saturday to pay us a visit, make a toast, save some money, and maybe even win a prize! We hope to see you there!

Blessings,

Storm and Chas,
and the The Mystic Dream staff

About Our New Name

2008-08-12T19:12:00.000-07:00

The Mystic Dream

About our new name... For 18 years the name 'Dolphin Dream' has been well known in Walnut Creek and well beyond. Some know it as that strange shop where all the weirdos hang out. Others see it as a sanctuary that encourages spiritual engagement and feeds the souls of their community. Many come in looking for dolphin shaped knick-knacks and are often disappointed. Then there are those who find us, look around, then ask "why is this shop named Dolphin Dream;" a fair enough question, albeit one we have no good answer for. Dolphins are considered by some to be spiritually evolved creatures in tune with higher frequencies of consciousness, indeed, it was with this association in mind that the store was christened Dolphin Dream back in the dawn of the New Age. However, not everyone perceives dolphins as being enlightened beings. Ask someone on the street what comes to mind when you say the name 'dolphin' and you may get answers such as 'bad tuna' or 'shark prey' or 'fin flop,' not the connotations that ought to be associated with a spiritual supply shop. In order to inform customers of what products they might find, the word 'mystic' best expresses the energy of our store. We invite you to come and partake in this transition, that you too may have a mystical experience. Our purpose (our dream) remains the same, to encourage spiritual development, diversity of beliefs, and enlightenment in all its forms.
Whereas the dolphin has been set free, our dream continues.

Introducing Leila Jo

2008-07-31T12:36:00.001-07:00

Our store is thrilled to welcome our newest Tarot reader, Leila Jo. While our other beloved tarot reader Elise was away on vacation Leila Jo came in as a substitute, and her personality and talent was so in sync with the store that we asked her to come read each Thursday as a permanent member of our reader community. Call the store to make an appointment with her, or simply stop by some Thursday to say 'hello.'

Bio: South African native Leila Jo Crawford is a down-to-earth tarot reader and needle-crafter based in Berkeley, California. Leila Jo’s curiosity of the tarot began in the mid-90s when she received her first deck as a gift. She loves the sometimes unexpected truths that the cards reveal. Leila Jo is known for her unique blend of warmth, compassion and real world smarts. She will customize her intuitive reading to your needs and comfort level, and provide insight and practical ideas on how to apply it to your everyday life.

Festival of Carna

2008-06-01T11:42:00.000-07:00

Festival of Carna
Roman - June 1

Thisfestival celebrates Carna—Roman ‘goddess of the hinge,’ whose power is to open what is closed and to close what is open. Doors, windows and locks all belong to her, and on her feast day should be cleaned, oiled and repaired. She favors domestic concerns and can be petitioned to open new opportunities and to close the door against things unwanted. She also has authority over the physical body, ruling the heart, lungs and liver; which is why Offerings of beans and bacon fat (once considered by Roman’s to promote health in those organs) are her traditional offerings.

An offering to Carna:

Remove any unwanted or unnecessary keys from your key-ring, placing them as an offering to Carna, thus closing the door on those areas of your life that no longer serve you. For each key given to her, you may ask of her a blessing, that she may open new opportunities for you.

...At the shop we have an offering bowl that is filling up with keys as folk come in and take part in our celebration of Carna's festival. This is one of many seasonal festivals that we hope folk will enjoy celebrating with us. Carna's offering dish will remain until the 20th of June, so drop by.

Happy Holidays from Dolphin Dream!

2007-12-23T20:51:00.000-08:00

This e-mail is a little late as we have been in transition. Please allow us to introduce ourselves; we are Storm & Chas, and as many of you may already know, we purchased Dolphin Dream on November 1st. I (Storm) worked here for many years and was the manager until I left back in mid 2003. I first worked for the original owners of the store, Jean and June, and have since watched the store evolve and change over the years.

A few people have asked if with the new ownership things will change. So let us address that head-on: Yes... things will be changing over the months (and years) to come. But we hope that you will find these changes to be for the better. Some plans are cosmetic (new carpet, paint, etc.) and some are more foundational; like plans to expand the book and music selections (we hope to represent even more spiritual philosophies and musical styles than ever before) as well as to bring in more diverse products, such as herbs, oils, and ritual items. We hope that the new Dolphin Dream will truly have "everything for the evolving spirit", as well as continue our commitment to "honor all traditions, beliefs, and lifestyles".

We will be continuing the trips to the Tucson Gem Show, as well as stocking all of your favorite jewelry and spiritual products. Whether you are into angels, fairies, Buddhism, Witchcraft, channeling, spiritualism, tarot, astrology, or any other spiritual philosophy we hope that you will be able to find something of interest on our shelves.

So please come by the shop to take a look around and say hello.

Blessings of Peace,

~Storm Faerywolf and Chas Bogan
