Advice for a Mercury retrograde

Mercury is about to go retrograde again. What exactly does that mean? Mercury rules communication but Mercury is also the Great Trickster. So when Mercury goes retrograde, Communication can become tangled. Things can even take a step backwards. Retrograde is an illusion. It appears as if the planet is traveling backwards, Of course it's not. The same holds true for the upheavals & miscommunications that may occur during the Retrograde. Things may appear off course, Problems may appear seemingly insurmountable. But that is only an illusion. Like the retrograde, These things will pass. Mercury Retrograde gives us the chance To make Necessary changes & adjustments on our path. Mercury Retrograde makes us Stop, Look & Listen This Retrograde take time to Stop & "Think" before speaking. To Look at what part you may or may not have in any miscommunication & To Listen before reacting. Remember, This too Shall pass.

Lessons on the Spiritual Path

My Spiritual Path is an integral part of My life.
Listening to the lessons of Spirit is Important.
Understanding them are essential, both to my personal
development and my role as an Elder of my path.

I recently celebrated a special occasion.
The morning of the occasion, I awoke to a sumptuous
bouquet of roses.
The day was off to a Great start.
As the day progressed, My partner eluded
to a special surprise.
I began to think, to anticipate this surprise.
My mind became filled with thoughts of what it could be.
I waited patiently throughout the day but nothing.
That evening we went out for dinner.
Ah ha! Now I would receive it. I was excited but
Dinner came & went.
We had a pleasant dinner but nothing.

We returned home. He handed me a card.
It was beautiful & eloquent. Ok, I was impressed
but still waiting for the "surprise".
A short while later he comes in, beaming. Hands behind his back.
"Are you ready?" He's obviously proud, excited.
He pulls an envelope from behind his back. I open it....
It was a gift certificate. I was shocked.
Not the good kind of shocked.
I said nothing but My expression must have said plenty.
He grabbed it from My hand. "You don't like it!".
I blurted out, "WHY would you get me a gift certificate from the place I work???"
As you can surmise the evening went downhill from there.
Hurt feelings on both parts.

I headed to My Altar to meditate a bit.
I went off to bed crying. Not sleeping well,
I woke up. "We can only be disappointed when
We expect things from others"
Wow. I got the message. Simple & to the point.
I went to my altar & thanked Her for the message.
I understood.
The fault was not in my partner, nor in the gift.
The fault was in my expectations.
If I had no expectations, I would have found delight in
receiving a gift. I would have had the grace to understand
the joy we give another when we receive from the heart.

I am not perfect. I have many things still to learn.
But on this day, I have learned to "release" expectations.
This is a gift from My Lady.
May it carry me on My path.

For My daughters
Did not heed
And gave their powers over.

How many of you are familiar with the film
Miracle on 34th street?
Kris Kringle, while working at Macy's; sends a
customer to the competition!!!
Management at first becomes upset,
only to find a surprising response..
The department store gets the reputation of
Caring for their customers..
And so the people come to shop there.

A subtle but powerful message.
Abundance flows...
When we are generous & confident
We need not fear the "competition"
When we are generous & supportive of One another
We create an environment that draws others to us.
Feel Good energy is contagious.

The "Spiritual" community has far to go
in learning these lessons.
Those who truly walk a Spiritual Path
know this.
Spiritual is truth.
Spiritual is generous.
Spiritual is Faith.

William Rand's words pertain to All aspects of the
"Spiritual" community.
Spirit always knows the truth within
When you release fear, jealousy, envy & greed
Abundance shall flow
May you learn the truths of Spirit

Today I'm borrowing from William Rand,
founder of The International Center for Reiki.

"Competitiveness is Not a Part of Reiki"

One thing that can get in the way of developing
a spiritual attitude about your Reiki practice is fear
of competition.
This has caused more problems & created more
restrictions and negative energy in the Reiki community
than any other area of misunderstanding.
Lack is an illusion & this is especially true for Reiki!
There is a far greater need for healing on the planet
than Reiki practitioners who can provide it.
Fear of competition goes directly against
the nature of Reiki energy& because of this can
Repel people from you who would otherwise
be interested in receiving a treatment.
Reiki comes from unlimited supply & does not fear
competition.
People who do reiki together find that their Reiki
gets stronger as more people join the group.
If Reiki was competitive, then just the opposite would happen.
The nature of Reiki energy is one of cooperation.
It understands the concept that we are all one &
flows freely to anyone & everyone.
It works in harmony with all other forms of treatment.
It is clearly apparent, the wisdom of Reiki is to welcome
all & other practitionersas allies.
IF the spiritual purpose for your Reiki practice
Is to help others to heal the planet,
then you can only rejoice when you hear about another
practitioner in your area as they are helping
fulfill your purpose.
The more you can do this,
The more your practice will thrive.
Don't worry about taking clients away from other practitioners.
Each practitioner has their own value &
special way of helping others.
You will attract the clients who are right for you.
Others will attract the clients right for them.
- William Lee Rand

How do I begin this?
On March 2nd I made a decision to post a
message from Her.
Many layers to this message.
"The Floodgates are opening"
"Tell the people"
Myself and others hoped this message was one
of transformation, of hope...
On some levels it is.
For the people of the Middle East,
it represents change, hope
Sometimes transformation comes at a cost.

On another level
This message is literal.
Today, Great devastation has occured
The "floodgates" have opened.

On March 5th, I received another message,
"Many Deaths".
That was all...
Again, I wondered whether or not to post.
I chose to post on FB but not on My blog.
Myself & others hoped this was also a message
of transformation.. Change.

So Why receive these messages?
We are in a time of great transformation.
Like the Tower in tarot, sometimes destruction
must occur to make way for the new.
Perhaps We do not listen,
Perhaps We ignore the signs,
Perhaps we need to be shown more than a gentle message.

So Why receive the messages?
To know HER
To recognize Her
However One see's Spirit
Whatever name you choose to call Her
To listen to Her
Hecate/Isis/Aset
Mother Earth
Mary
Tara
Kwan Yin
Brigid
Know that SHE is rising..
Perhaps the message comes,
Not for us to change things but
To recognize Her

May we all send Our prayers to Our Brothers & Sisters
who have been hit by this devastation.
May We all come to honor HER

Kneel before Me
& say My name
For I Shall come

Kneel before Me
& take My hand
Fear not

For My daughters,
This I shall say
I AM (The All)

Hecate/Isis/Aset

Several weeks ago while sitting before My Altar,
I received a message.

Now for those who have followed My blog
You know I am a Devotee of Isis.
Hecate/Isis/Aset
So the Altar I sat before was Her altar.

As I sat in this sacred space,
I began to "See" what at first appeared
to be temple walls.
I'm not sure if the vision appeared to be moving
Or I was moving closer,
But it changed.
It appeared to be a wall of rushing water.
A Dam I suppose.
Then I heard Her.
"The floodgates are opening" , "Tell the people"
I knew this was an important message.
I knew it was her.
I sat with it a short while, but
I kept hearing Her words.

I should have posted it to My blog.
I didn't.
I posted it on FB -
On My personal page
Not on IntuitiveGoddess.
I doubted Myself.
I never doubt Her.
I wasn't sure if I had gotten it right.
I wasn't sure if I was interpreting it correctly.
I was concerned that people reading
might think I was a bit of a kook.
Or just looking to publicize myself.
I did not post it where it should have gone.

It is not for me to Interpret Her message.
It is for me to deliver what has been told to me.
Regardless of what others may think.
Hecate/Isis/Aset
I am a Proud daughter
I am a devotee
A Priestess
I am Her Seer
I doubted myself & in doing so,
I cast doubt upon my belief.

And so in this, My Sacred Space
I humbly ask My Lady to forgive My doubts.
I am honored to deliver Her words
To those who seek to listen.
Yes, I will Tell the People," The floodgates are opening"
She is rising
May Her ancient Lands return to Peace.
May She return to Her rightful place
Hecate/Isis/Aset
