The stars have been a very present theme in my life since I was 15-16 years old. I read a lot, I payed special attention to what happens in my life and in the lives of others in certain transits, comparing what the astrology book says we should feel in that moment with what I actually felt. At one point I had a Jupiter transit through the house of relationships: I was single and during this whole period I put on makeup and groomed myself continuously… but no prince came. Then I thought that maybe it’s not about that, it doesn’t work like that. And so I started to see myself in the relationship with the transits.
Then, in an astrology story I found a book by Judy Hall: a general astrology book. For me. it was instant fascination. I wrote to Judy and asked her to read my horoscope. Judy did the reading based on a photo and data I provided in writing – she sent me an audio tape recorded with the reading of the horoscope.
To her experiential astrology workshops I only got after I got married and the children were grown. I remember my first experiential astrology workshop – it was in Glastonbury, in a center near the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey. The theme of the workshop was Saturn.
I sat silent in my corner for a week and couldn’t believe my eyes. It was incredible – the way Judy talks, how she guided everything. The whole workshop was experiential – Judy said that we met to get to know Saturn, to get to know its energy. In meditation we visited Saturn, we met Saturn, we met different aspects of Saturn.
We talked about our structure, about what is important and what Saturn means – we faced all these aspects for about 4 and a half days.
We went to the Abbey at night with the drums and invoked Saturn, its energy. I said: Saturn, show me where your energy works in my body.
I had never seen anything like it before. Judy told us then: “If you want to do astrology from books, go to a course. With me we do something different. With me you learn to understand and work with this energy. Saturn works differently for each person.”
At that time, there were about 25-30 people in Judy Hall’s group: some attended all the events, others came occasionally, according to their interest. Since then I never left and I have never missed a workshop with Judy.
Judy was a medium. She was self-taught, she experienced many things and participated in a series of workshops.
But when it came to organising her own workshops, Judy did not follow any model, because there was none. Judy did all this from inspiration. She was always in touch with stones – to each workshop she brought stones related to the chosen theme. But her basic teaching was the same in all cases: to allow ourselves to feel. To take the stone – because it is a fantastic mediator – and to feel what changes in us.
Under her guidance, I worked not only with stones, but also with angels and even dragons. Dragons have a wonderful, earthy energy. We humans can get along well with dragons. I myself have two dragons at home and they are my friends, my allies. I once did regression therapy and it was very difficult, I stood in front of a gate and I had the feeling that if I went in there would be grief.
The moment I said to myself “maybe it’s not good to go in“, a dragon that I know, who is with me, appeared behind me, he was huge and told me that there was no way back – he confirmed that it was not good to go in.
