Message from Spirit December 2014

Today I heard the Following:

"Whence did Thy Temple become Thy Church?
For wherein did the Son of Nazareth
Chased moneychangers from Thy Temple

The sons of man speak many tongues
But who (none) speaketh Thy truth

I have Risen time & again
But who chooses to see?

In battles fought
I have stood silently watching
For who is right & just
Empires fall & rise again.

Those who seek answers to the past
For their present is too painful
Shall never see  
Truth sold by charlatans
For I shall be merciless
Those who deceive Me
Have been tried

The weigher of the hearts of men
Comes forth
For She is My Brethen

Do you think your sins
Can be washed from you by word and not
By deed?
Do you believe truth has no light?
For it shall come
And I shall be merciless.

I have laid before you
What is to come
Yet who chooses to see
Destroyer - Creator I am not
It is you, mankind woman which doth so

Thy watchers walk amongst you
Through their eyes
I choose to see
And who is to say
One lie smaller than another?
And who shall redeem the redeemer
Not I , For I am the Immortal One

I have asked for reverence
For that which I have given
I have been fair and  just
Kind and unyielding
For a Mother can not make a child love Her

Four of Cups - You can't always get what you want

October - The Journey Begins

Change is in the air.
Here, the crisp Fall air is settling in slowly.
Others may be seeing those first signs of Spring.

What is the message for October?
RAIDHO - The Journey
LAGUZ - Water

Raidho :
It's time for movement.
For some, it may be a Spiritual Journey.
For others, emotional.
For most, it's the mundane things that
change your life -
A new job. A new apartment.
A new school.

Laguz:
Water. The Sea. The Ocean.
Vast. Unknown.
It is Our fears.

The journey begins.
We must face our fear of change,
Of the unknown.
It may be time to look at Our behaviors.
To ask Ourselves important questions.
Change is inevitable,
As nature shows us.
There is beauty in change.
If We move forward with grace
& face Our fears,
Anything is possible

May Your Journey be Blessed

4 of Cups - Apathy Towards Change

Autumn Arrives tomorrow Sept 22nd, 2014.
As I prepare to welcome the season an important part of the
process is to Ask, "What is the Message for the coming season?"

There are some times of the year
when the connection with Spirit intensifies.
For Me, it begins with Fall.
A seasonal altar is prepared.
The energy in the room feels different.
I feel a burst of happy giggles & dance
around the room.
(I've been known to do that!)Frankincense fills the air.


What is the message for the Equinox?
What am I to share?
The first words I hear is "Change".
"The Apathy of Indifference"
I fan a deck of cards out before me & chose 1 card.
The 4 of Cups.
Apathy? Indifference? For sure.
The 4 Cups = 4 Seasons
Have We become indifferent to the changes around us?
Are We indifferent to the display Mother Nature
puts before Us?
On a more individual level,
Do We embrace change in Our lives joyfully?
Are We open to new possibilities or
Are We stuck in rut of monotony?
If you are unhappy with a job, relationship,
a lifestyle?
Do you remain in the place of unhappiness
or do you look forward to making change?
Change can be good.
The uncertainty can be scary,
But it can be exciting.
It can bring passion back into the mundane.

Nature is NOT indifferent.
Each season dances with a beauty of it's own.
There is no boredom in nature.
Each change of seasons serves a purpose.

We need to embrace change.
Set New goals,
Find the passion.
See that cup, hiding in the background?
That just may be The Golden Chalice.
The Holy Grail.
Lift the veil of apathy & embrace change.
I'm ready,
Are You?

Message from Spirit / The Great Mother 8/29/14

Message 8/29/14:
And Knowing the Nature of the Beast
Thus play into the hands of the puppeteer
For "Free Will" hath done with.
With Rod & Staff rise up from the muck & mud
Feeble attempt to stop the onslaught
While others look away.
When the North & South battle
The Kush shall fall
Three will come.
And death shall come upon a White Horse,
It has been foretold.
Desecration of Thy most hallowed lands
Does Thou Not understand THY vengeance when
Lands run red with the blood of sons?
Air Strikes the Clocks Tower
All the while a Jester laughs
Playing His hand for the world to see.
Mighty is the Mojave
Doth thy not remember Sodom & Gomorrah?
Ash (Molten) to flame
Ask the Redman (Red Man?) for He has seen
What is to come

Isis, Night of the Cradle - Message from Spirit

Message from The Great Mother/Spirit July 17th 2014
 
"For thy Priests (Priestess)
Walk amongst you,
Thy wings gentle upon their back
Wafting thy Heavenly Scent.

Skin once Bronzed
Like Desert Sands
Blown to 4 Corners of the earth,
Like winds,
Seeds from thy garden

My Beloved, The one you called Jesus
You placed Deeds upon
Called out for help
Only calling The Father
Forsaking
Have you forgotten Thy Mother?
Queen of Heaven & Earth
Ishtar

In the time of transition
You call
Armies marching
To no avail.

And Whence do you give Thanks
The trees bearing fruit
Tamarisk

Upon the Mount, Sinai
I gave rise
To armies
And the land shall turn red
With the blood of sons
Indifferent to Me
Most Holy My Land
Thus shall come

Do You not remember your rightful place
Daughter of Solomon?
When the land burns hot
You shall walk across unblemished
And a Third World shall come"

Mercury Retrograde - Communication Breakdown

Mercury Retrograde, Redux

Let's start with the facts.
Mercury goes retrograde roughly 3X a year.
It lasts approximately 3 weeks. By now,
most of Us are well aware the retrograde, or
backwards movement is simply an optical illusion.
It's effect on Us, not so much an illusion.
Sometimes Mercury Retrograde comes & goes
without a hitch. Most of the time actually.
There are variables -
like what sign the Retrograde is cast in.
This time, Cancer.
Interesting, but as someone who works with or "feels"
energy, this retrograde comes in with a slightly bumpy
feel.  Cancer is a Water sign, and Water is changeable
& unpredictable.  
So what do We need to know?
Nature or the Universe is Our greatest teacher.
Mercury has slowed down it's orbit.
Our biggest lesson?  SLOW DOWN.
Mercury rules communication, travel, The written word -
that includes contracts, leases, important documents.
It's relatively simple to make the best of this energy and
make it work for You!
Remember the RE :
Reflect - Look back on things. Carefully consider
             What you've accomplished, What you haven't
             What You want to move forward with, most of
             all; WHO are You?
Revisit - Take a look at thinks that didn't quite pan out.
            Relationships, Jobs. What could You have done       
            differently. Look at the things that DID.  Use
            what You learn to move forward (after the Retro
            of course)
Reschedule - Yep.  You may need to change some plans.
                   I did. I was scheduled to start a show on
                   PEN in February but it just wasn't feeling
                   right. I finally realized, it was most likely
                   the Retrograde.  Don't begin New projects
                   during this time.
Redo, Revamp - Whether it's Your closets, a home
                      or a business project; this is the time.


Tools to help You through:

 
                
      

Crystals/ Gemstones :

Amethyst - Promotes Peace, Calm
Moonstone - Eases Anxiety
Turquoise - Communication, Clarity
                Make sure it's genuine Turquoise,
                not dyed Howlite
Hematite - Protects, Balances

Frankincense & Myrrh:
Going back to Ancient times both
Frankincense & Myrrh have been used for
protection, blessings & consecration.

You can burn the resin to protect your space
from any miscommunication, upsets Mercury
Retro may have in store.

If You can't burn the Resin, use the Essential
Oil. Some great sources include Mountain Rose
and Aura Cacia.

Aromatherapy or Smudging Sprays.
You can check My Etsy Shop, many of
My Sprays include Frankincense or Myrrh.
Even both!

Food:
Believe it or not, Diet can help you glide
through this Retrograde!
Avoid Caffeine - For some this isn't easy, but it
will help alleviate some of the nervous energy of
a Retrograde.
Eat Calcium Rich Foods - (another reason to avoid
caffeine. It depletes calcium.)
Mercury Foods - Apples, Grapes, Grape Juice,
Lettuce, Rice, Yogurt

May Eve - Beltane Facts & Folklore

On April 30th the celebration known as May Eve arrives.
May Eve is also known as Beltaine or Beltane.
Beltane is one of the Great Fire Festivals of the ancient
Celtic people.
Beltane is the celebration of Summer.
From this point until the Summer Solstice,
sunlight will reach it's peak.
The days will continue to grow longer.

-On the Summer Solstice,
traditionally considered the start of
summer for many, the days actually
become shorter. A sign that
Fall will soon arrive!

Beltane is a celebration of Rebirth.
The Sun's warmth brings growth to the land.
Although many consider it
a celebration of love, the origins lie
in celebrating the fertility of the land.

As one of the major Fire festivals,
It is a time when the veil between worlds
is believed "thin".
A time to communicate with the Fae
or the Spirits of Nature.

Have you heard the expression,
"Bringing in the May"?
That goes back to the ancient Roman
festival of Floralia.
The festival was celebrated from
April 28th - May 3rd.
On May 1st, the celebration was
highlighted with a floral procession.
The festival,which honored the Goddess Flora,
would ensure an abundant growing season.

There are many beliefs or customs associated
with May Eve & May Day  -
Rain on May Eve is considered Magickal!
It keeps you healthy, beautiful &
lucky for a full year.
(Especially if you roll naked in it)
Bringing flowers & branches into the home
invokes Spring.
It's a powerful time for divination,
creating charms for luck, love & protection.

One of My favorites is the May Basket -
Preparing small baskets filled with flowers,
hanging them on friends doors for May Morning!

Correspondences for Beltane Include :
Herbs/Flowers : Any Flowers are perfect! 
                              Mint, Nettle, Sweet Woodruff

Incense/Oils : Jasmine, Vanilla, Ylang Ylang,
                         Dragon's Blood

Candle Colors : Green, Yellow, Pink

May You Bring Abundance, Joy & Laughter into Your Home!

Message From Spirit April 2014

"Great change is upon Us.
Global Markets shall shift.
Jobs lost
New beginnings
Shall come
That which is steadfast & loyal remains
The New Age shall scorch under the heat of the Sun
Prepare for you are warned"

Letting go under a Scorpio Moon

Last night while doing some Spiritual work,
My focus kept drifting away from "Intention"
towards some negative thoughts.
Time & again I would move My thoughts
back to Thankfulness and the positive but
the negative found it's way back in.

Now in all fairness to Myself,
I have a lot going on. Some of it kicked
up some old issues.
Sometimes there are people or things
that don't exactly bring out the best in us.
As a Spiritual Practitioner,
It is very important for Me to be mindful of
these energies & to let them go.
It's not always easy to do.

Instead of "swimming upstream",
so to speak - I realized rather than fight
these emotions, I needed to address them.
Perhaps a lesson of the Scorpio Moon,
but I was reminded of My selfishness.
Yes, selfishness.
Not only toward others, but to My SELF.

Scorpio is a very intense sign.
Emotions run deep. Scorpio is fond of Justice, Fairness
but sometimes that sense of fairness can
transmute into "revenge".
That Scorpio intensity can become selfish or
self serving.
Okay, So where does any of this fit in with
"Releasing"?

Realizing My own frustration & anger,
I turned My energy over to Spirit.
What I got in return was interesting.
"Selfish"
It is easy to hold on to anger & resentment,
By doing so, We hold the "Power".
In actuality, our  resentments hold power
over us.  When We feel angry, We think
We are protecting Ourselves. We believe we
are justified in our resentment.  Whether we are
or aren't, the resulting "selfishness"
not only hurts others; it hurts US.

Instead of being angry at Myself
for being angry - I accepted the energy &
asked, "Great Mother, guide me. Show me how
to overcome these feelings when they creep up.
Help me to be the best person I can be."
I headed to bed.

This Morning, while working on some product,
I thought it would be fun to pull a card from a
New Aromatherapy deck I found - to perhaps
give me an idea for a blend.
I think Spirit had other ideas.
"German Chamomile"  
Letting go.
A gentle reminder.
There is more power in releasing
than holding on to anger.

Up Your Happiness with Meditation (made easy)

One of the most beneficial things We can do for ourselves
is meditate.  Meditation is something everyone can do.
You don't need any special abilities,
You don't need any special tools,
You don't need to be a member of some secret society.
Meditation belongs to Everyman (or Woman).

Meditation provides health benefits -
both mental & physical.  The act of Meditating relaxes us.
It lowers blood pressure, relieves anxiety, reduces stress.
In some cases it reduces pain. 
It calms us.  It brings a sense of peace.

Meditation is a simple practice.
We go into it will a simple mindset.
The only expectation should be to calm
& center One's self.
Sometimes people think Meditation
is this miracle that is going to align them
with the Universe overnight or
help them connect psychically & receive messages.
Anything is possible, but not necessarily feasible.
It also doesn't happen overnight.
Yogi's spend a lifetime perfecting their Meditation,
Or realizing there is no perfection.
For spiritual seekers,
it is the path to self realization,
Developing One's consciousness.

For the average person,
Meditation will help achieve
a sense of calm & peace
Which leads to good health and happiness.
So, How do I meditate???
 
1. Put the focus on breath.  Breath from nose to
abdomen. Deep Breaths. Be conscious of Your breath.
Notice the sensation, how it feels.  We as a whole are
shallow breathers.  We need to "relearn" how to breath
properly & Meditation helps.
NO, don't get all worked up & hyperventilate.
Take it slow & steady.

2. Use a Mantra.  Simply put a Mantra is the repetition
of a word or phrase.

3. Guided Imagery or Meditations.        

4. Prayer Beads, Mala Beads, Rosaries. 
    Although I often use My Mala beads, I have a simple
    gemstone bracelet on elastic that  love to use.
                                                                             
                                                     
 

                                                          
5.  Focus on Your body.  When I was Young,
      I  learned a relaxation technique.
      I was very Young so I'm not sure
      what prompted me to do this but
      I would lie in bed focus on My body
      beginning with My feet.
      I would focus on relaxing them
      without moving them. Not even wiggling My toes!
      I would move up My body focusing
      on relaxing & not moving.
     You can image how difficult that was.
      It still is, but it is a great technique to help You relax.

6. Meditate anywhere. At work, have a lunch break?
     Sit outside, find a tree or comfortable bench.

7.  Take the focus off time.
      It doesn't matter "how long",
     what matters is how you come away feeling.
     Don't stress about how you did,
     how much time you devoted.
     In fact, In the beginning -
     less is more!  Start out with 5 min.
     & slowly increase your routine.

The most important advice I can give,
 "Enter into a Meditation Practice without expectations".
Just be in the moment.  Relax.  Meditation shouldn't be something
to lose sleep over, it should be something that helps you sleep.
It should be something helps you find your center -
It should bring you peace, and peace brings happiness.

Blessings!

Energetically Cleaning - DIY Salt Scrub

Cleaning one's self "Energetically"  is one of the
most important things We can do for ourselves.
We shower or bath because well,
We don't want to smell bad - but
it's also for our health.

We all know it's good practice to wash our hands
frequently especially during cold season.
We wash away the germs that could make us sick.
It's a "preventive" practice.

Energetically Speaking, it's important to cleanse
& practice preventive measures.
When we are exposed to negative energy
whether our own or someone else's,
it can affect our emotional & physical well being.
Negativity lingers.
It can create depression, lethargy, even feelings of
malaise.  We become more vulnerable & that vulnerability
can lead to physical symptoms.

Adding energetic cleansing to one's "health" regime is
a good practice.
There are many different ways. White Sage or another
type of smudge, Reiki, baths, etc.
Salt is one of My personal favorite ways to "cleanse"
Optimum times for a Salt Scrub :
Before going to Bed
During the Waning Moon
Whenever You are feeling in a funk!   

DIY Salt Scrub

1/2  Cup Coarse grain Sea Salt
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1 tsp lemon juice
Lemon Rind - optional
10 drops Lavender Essential Oil.

Place Sea Salt in a small bowl or clean (sterile) jar.               

Add 1 tsp of Lemon Juice to the Olive Oil.
Stir.  It won't mix completely but don't worry about that!
Add the Olive Oil to the Sea Salt & stir.
(I like to use chop sticks )
Now add the Lavender Essential Oil & stir again.
* You can add a dash of Lemon Rind

You can adjust this basic recipe, by adding other fresh herbs -
Rosemary is a good choice.
You can also adjust the amount oil oil in proportion
to the salt.
I find this to formula to work for me. You may prefer less oil
or more. The bottom line is getting the cleansing energy...
Plus, Your skin will feel really nice.
*Whatever You do - Don't use on an open wound, scratch or scrape
It will burn like heck!

Blessings!

 
  

Love IS Divine

I Don't Read Romance Novels,
Not a fan of movies like The Notebook.
Some people will think perhaps,
She's not Romantic.
Some might say I'm too practical.
They may be right but -
I believe in Love.

I believe in Love.
In it's most Divine form.
In it's Passion.
In it's gentleness.

I love with a fierceness,
A protectiveness,  
A Devotion.
I love with Loyalty,
With Sadness,
With Joy.

There are those who have come
and gone,
Who I have loved & will always.
Family, no longer with me -
Yet they linger
Waiting for just the right memory.
Friends,
Gone from My path.
Still I remember laughter, tears, hugs.
Lovers.
Some have come
and gone. Barely a memory.
Some who I can Never forget.
The One who never could Be,
The One who was,
The One who Is.

The Divine.
When all is said and done,
My deepest love shall remain,
The Goddess.
For in the End,
It is SHE who shall cradle me in Her arms,
and carry Me home.

I Believe in Love.

Goddess Trumps Tarot

Humility is acknowledging something far greater then ourselves.

I believe in The Goddess,
The Great Mother.
Make that - I acknowledge the Goddess.
There is no doubt in that statement.
I know the Divine Feminine exists.

Yesterday, Standing in My kitchen when
suddenly I hear "Seahawks".
Now I have NO interest in football.
I may get caught up in the excitement of a local
team making it, but in all reality - I just don't care.
So I asked My partner, "Who is in the Superbowl?"
Sure enough - Seahawks.
Naturally I told him.  I don't think He was impressed,lol.
I'm not sure why I thought this was at all important
but I posted it.

By now, You know the Seahawks won. Kind of a blowout.
I can across all sorts of post from people using Tarot.
People using Tarot to pick the winner. A few got it right.
Most didn't.
About now, You may be wondering
WHY I'm even mentioning this.
If You're a Tarot Reader you may be feeling annoyance.
Please don't.
I do have a point. It's not about ego either.

Spirit. The Divine.
We can pull all the cards We want.
We can toss Runes, Shells.
We can read Tea leaves.
The bottom line is, the Truth comes from
The Divine.
The Goddess. God. The Sacred.
Isis. Hecate. Buddha.
However you recognize the Divine.
It is that connection that provides the truth.

When I post a message and it comes
to fruition,  I get excited. Elated.
Not because of My own ego, as some
mistakenly believe.
It is a confirmation of The Divine.
The Sacred Feminine.
I will shout it.
I will continue to spread the word of
The Great Mother Goddess.

Tarot, or any other form of Divination
Is nothing without Spirit.
To quote Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland -
'You're nothing but a pack of cards!'
In Your heart, if You believe in The Sacred Feminine
You know this truth:
Goddess Trumps Tarot.

Thunderbolt! New Moon in Aquarius

There's a New Moon arriving on January 30th.
A rather "unique" New Moon -
It's the Second New Moon in the First Month 
of The New Year 2014.
It's also a Super Moon, which means it will 'appear' 
to be rather large. (The moon's orbit is closest to the Earth)

This New Moon arrives in Aquarius - 
"Unique" is a keyword for the Water Bearer. 
Aquarius is the Humanitarian of the Zodiac, 
Filled with high ideals.  
Aquarius is also unpredictable. Very unpredictable.
Aquarius brings change. Swift, Sudden & often unexpected.
A Thunderbolt. 

The Sabian Symbol for this particular New Moon is 
Aquarius 11 :

Man tete-a-tete with His Inspiration


Keyword : Ecstacy
A time for Artists, Writers, Creators, Visionaries. 
A time to translate your vision into reality.
A Time for the Healers, 
Whose Selfless Devotion to others
will be needed as Uranus sends a Thunderbolt 
of change. 

Change is necessary. Change can be for the better.
There is a warning here - Be wary of Self Absorption. 
Humanity will never survive through the changes ahead 
Unless ME becomes We.

Blessings!

Be Wary The Serpent - Message from Spirit

"Be wary the Serpent,
Hissing in the Midst.
Soon to shed it's skin
For All to See"
