Festival of Carna
Roman - June 1
This festival 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.
Shortly after announcing the spring line-up of psychic readers, intuitives, and practitioners last month, we had several major scheduling changes happen all at once, so we thought you all might want to know exactly who is offering their services here at the shop on a given day.
First, we are happy to announce three new readers. On Tuesdays we have tarot readings by Elise. Wednesdays we have Stefn Thorsman reading runes. And finally, Kola Soljet reads the tarot on Saturdays.
Our full schedule of readers for each day of the week:

Tuesdays: Elise, Tarot reader
Wednesdays: Stefn Thorsman, Rune Reader
Thursdays, Fridays, & some Saturdays: Coleen Cole Morrison, Life's Purpose Hand Analyst

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
New Owners of Dolphin Dream
