Congratulations, and thanks all for playing!!
 Greetings to you! Today I am participating in the Superhero Mastermind Blog Tour! So I know some of you may be new here...allow me to introduce myself:
I’m Sara, the High Priestess of the Church of the Holy Wow, which grows and loves and worships right here at soulspackle.com. (There’s also a Drive-Thru Sanctuary, which you should totally check out, and I send out a monthly Museletter for those who want exclusive content and extra opportunities to enter the odd giveaway).  And the winner of the new Llewellyn Mass Market Gaian Tarot by Joanna Powell Colbert is... Tami! Congrats! Look out for an email from info AT soulspackle DOT com as you'll need to reply to claim your prize.  I am sure many of you Soul Spacklers are well-versed in Tarot and are probably already familiar with Joanna Powell Colbert's Gaian Tarot deck. As for myself, I’ve only ever dabbled in Tarot, never quite making it a regular practice. I was, however, familiar with the Major Arcana of the Gaian Tarot from the online oracle. So I had already found myself drawn to the earthy warmth of this deck. Joanna has generously gifted me with a deck to be given away to a lucky Soul Spackle reader. Please see details at the end of this post to find out how to enter. My resistance to the Tarot probably goes back to my mother’s own religious superstitions, and as such, despite owning a deck or two and reading the books that went along with them,Tarot remained an esoteric and darkly mysterious thing to me for quite some time. No matter that my whole life I have been attracted to symbology and mythology and the Jungian concepts of archetypes and the collective unconscious, which is precisely what Tarot uses to tap into your internal guidance while bypassing the logical mind. Still my mother’s superstition held sway.
First off, before I announce the winner, I've decided to dust off my Oscar acceptance speech. Okay, I've never actually written one, but if ever I did, I think this would be the good time to give it! These 12 days after the unveiling of the Church of the Holy Wow have probably been THE Holy Wow-iest days ever. I am enormously grateful to the people* who contributed prizes, promoted the giveaways, and showed up to participate in my big re-launch in whatever way they felt called. Thanks, first and foremost to Goddess Leonie and my Goddess Sisters who have provided me with a very real sanctuary to just be my naturally crazy, enthusiastic self without anyone thinking I'm weird. Well.. without anyone thinking I'm super weird. No one tried to tell me my idea was stupid or not worth pursuing. Quite the opposite. My Goddess Sisters picked me up on their shoulders and carried me down to the fifty yard line. Holy Wow. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's been a very strange ride and I've been so amazed at the response to the new Soul Spackle on every level. When I wake up in the morning a little queasy, worrying that I've exposed too much of myself here -- which is how I've felt the last 12 days -- I'm then touched by an email or passing comment from someone who clearly *gets it*. Which makes it okay. More than okay, actually. It is very very good. Below is one of my favorite videos ever, by McCabe Russell, set to Amy Steinberg's "Exactly". It is my "gift" to you, and it is a reminder to myself that ultimately it is so so so worth Being Brave. exactly from mccabe russell on Vimeo. And now, because I nearly cried when I selected the winner, without further ado.. the winner of the Grand Prize Self Love Explosion is......... Maggie!

My friend Megan Monique is giving away one 30 Minute Soul Session to our Grand Prize winner! Megan is awesome! Here's her message to you..
I like to call myself a Life Illuminator. I was born with the intense ability to see the light in everyone - no matter how dim it maybe at times. Now that I have the ability to help Illuminate Lives as career - I created a little somthin' somethin' called Soul Sessions. During these 30 minute calls we talk about what you need help with in your life. By the end of the call the possibility of relief, renewal and growth is present. It's a beautiful thing. Self Love is essential to our journey in this time and space. The more we learn to love ourselves the greater our lives become. Soul Sessions are my way of contributing the expansion of self. I am contributing a free Soul Session to this summer of self-love 1) because I love and adore Sara 2) because I love and adore the possibility of working with anyone else who loves Sara's work and 3) because I have a true passion for these Soul Sessions & I want to spread the word about their greatness. Yourself, Myself, Ourselves - CHEERS! Megan Follow on Twitter | Like on Facebook | Subscribe to Blog Helloooooooooo! The past two weeks have gone by SO FAST and now we're in the final days.

And TOMORROW we'll get a closer look at two of the biggies!  Halo Quin, author of Pixie Kisses Hey lovelies, Halo here. I have to admit, I like to play. I'll spiral round from place to place and have always spent time with the Fae. Somehow, in this beautiful dance called life, I've built a huge amount of experience in being enchanted, and that is my gift, my passion. The enchantment that every day life should have? It really is there. We just need to open to it.
I've a curious mind, and I balance my head and my heart with philosophy and art, I've many skills, many loves, many strings to my bow, and they all support my work as a Devotee of Delight. And that is what the Pixie Kisses book is for. Pixie Kisses is a cute little book of play, collecting newsletters musing on the nature of enchantment and life, weekly explorations in enchanting your life, and pictures, poetry and inspirations to bring you closer to the Faery magic of enchantment. Play is essential for giving us space to love ourselves, and enchantment is the state of wonder and delight that opens up more space for play... and love overflowing.

Flora Mae has been practicing the arcane arts of root work and mediumship with her family’s blessing since she was a child. It first began when recently departed friends and family notified her of their safe voyage through the valley of the shadow of death.

Today, Flora Mae continues to practice her mediumship through bottle gazing, and oracle objects like crystals and cards.  Just three more days until the GRAND PRIZE GIVEAWAY!
