Spreading Magic at Comic Con
9:46 PM
Sometimes the lines between author and shaman/healer blur.
Take Comic Con Palm Springs, for example. Last Saturday, I was the lone
half-Viking/half-fairy (impersonating Talfryn from The Beltane Escape) in a convention packed with cosplayers
(costumed players) embodying Poison Ivy, Storm, Superman, Batman, and other
beings from Star Wars, Marvel Comics, and more.
A guest of Barnes and Noble Palm Desert, my mission was to
promote my two Young Adult book series, The Teen Wytche Saga and The Two Realms
Trilogy, and sign books. But as the day wore on, in the midst of selling books,
shamanic healing opportunities arose.

Zombie Stampede
Cosplayers dressed to be seen and photographed, and many
stopped beside the Barnes and Noble booth, located on a pedestrian
intersection. Some of the costumes were too intense for younger children. A
noisy, pushy, scary zombie stampede proved especially frightening. No wonder
children reacted with delight when they saw me, a benign little fairy with
purple and blue hair. I spread Reiki and sympathy, and posed for photos.
Impromptu Readings
By late afternoon, when adults and children alike appeared
stressed, I pulled out my Tupperware bowl filled with homemade chocolate chip
cookies.
“Do you believe in fairies?” I asked passersby.
“Yes!”
“Then you may have a cookie.”
Word spread. You’d be amazed at how many people suddenly
believed in fairies. A dark-haired woman approached me, and said she believed
in fairies and angels. “I need a minute,” I explained, as the energetic force
surrounding her made me step back.
Wings |
A name came to me like a fierce wind. When I told her the
name, she burst into tears and raised her hands. “Thank you Jesus!” She then
explained she was immersed in a terrible legal battle with her mother and
sister, and that the name I had given her was that of her angel.
I spoke with another woman while a cashier rang up her copy
of The Beltane Escape. “I keep
hearing the name, Celine Dion,” I told her. It turned out the young woman was
at a crossroads in her career as a singer/songwriter, and Dion was one of her
icons. We both felt the name was a sign she shouldn’t give up. Success was
around the corner.
Psychic Protection
Although I allowed a few readings to come through, I am very
protective of my energy. Energy workers, especially empaths, must surround
themselves with protection so they aren’t pinged or possessed by negative
energies or entities. Cast a silver egg around you, including above your head
and below your feet. Protect your back as well as your front and sides. This
flexible protective shell moves with you. It is impenetrable, except to love and
light. Shower or sage after the event, with the intent of ridding yourself of
any energies or entities not in your highest good, that may have attached to
you.
Love and light,
Ariella Moon
