Help With Feeling Better Needed

Unfortunately we are not finishing out the week with the carnival because we tested positive for covid. Working directly we young children is unthinkable to us. Even one day was too much. Lord Beltane could not even work out the day because of the bodily aches and pains. I was using hand sanitizer about every 15 minutes and was hardly coughing yesterday. When I did I was very careful not to cough towards anyone. The huge downside to testing positive is we can not work out the week and have 3 bills we cannot pay. One of which is my internet which might wind up in it being shut off until next month.

We would both appreciate candles lit being lit or healing energy sent our way to help with our symptoms. If you feel like making a donation to help cover the $260.00 USD we are short this month I will happily do an Animal Spirit reading for you. If the donation is $75.00 USD or over I will do a full body reading which includes seeing if you have any negative entities in your or aura and if any are attached to you, checking all your chakras to see what shape they are in. The chakras I check are not just the 7 main ones but all 25 of them. I will do a post in the next couple of days explaining where the othe 18 less know chakras are.

Thank you for your help and support as we work to get better. Blessed be dear Sisters, Brothers, an Honored Guests.
