Goddess of Stitching & the Monday Moonday Mushroom Oracle

I first saw this post on Facebook by Jenny Mendes Ceramics and was beside myself. This was a blessing to me and I fell in love with this little goddess. I want to know more about Her. My initial look didn’t turn up much so I have myself a new study task. I did see this same info on a couple of sites, so I am not certain who first posted this. Whoever did, I am grateful.

 The Great Stitcher with uplifted arms. This prayer is older than any with a name. A sacred artifact from Jiroft culture (ancient Persia, Iran), the oldest known temple complex, located in Iran. It dates back to the Bronze Age period and is estimated to be approximately 3rd-1st millennia BC. This ingenious image is carved from limestone. Who was the genius who created this masterpiece?!

Prayer:

I stitch, with generous grateful hands, all good into a whole, I create.

And now, Monday Moonday Mushroom Oracle:

8 Enoki, Align: Standing tall, there is strength in numbers, finding our tribe. Hmmm… this card really speaks to me. Sometimes we need to align with others, find our kindred, and we can make a big difference. Aligning with others gives strength to our purpose. There’s power in community, we can make a real difference and find that power by not going it alone, even if it is just finding one other person. A goal that seems too onerous to achieve alone, may be easier to accomplish with the strength and assistance of another… or three. A feeling of power and accomplishment comes from a good relationship with likeminded friends when attempting to achieve whatever needs doing. 

So who can we align with to help with dreams and projects.? Or… who can we offer help to? This is not a time to go it alone. Reach out to give or receive.

Blessings dark and light!

36 Dead Man’s Finger: Timing

Don’t rush, don’t push, wait for the right time.

If we’re not sure when the right time is, we keep moving until our intuition tells us it’s time.  Let everything unfold in divine timing, our intuition can be trusted to guide us.

Let’s not push because of impatience, let things come to us because we are both in vibrational alignment. Let’s look at the reasons we might not be achieving something. What do we need to learn from it?

Remember, we are limitless beings transcending time and space; time exists only in the physical realms. Learning our lessons breaks patterns and cycles. If we do the inner work, shifts can happen 

Blessings dark and light!

20 Scarlet Elfcap, Healing:

A time for healing has arrived or is on the way. Some of our wounds are fresh, but other are open because we keep at them, staying in the wound, picking at it. This wound allows loss of  our energy. 

Where are we wounded and allowing the energy loss?

We can grow and heal by taking the time to learn the lesson. Once the lesson is learned, we will, hopefully stop repeating the patterns. If we keep repeating those patterns, we need to ask ourselves what is it we need to learn and why are we resisting. Trying to see things without the emotional charge, can help us move away from being a victim. Seeing others who have healed as teachers can help us in our journey. Breathing through, letting go, moving forward, that’s what we need.

We, in turn, can help others to heal while healing ourselves. Every act of kindness we commit assists in our healing and in healing others and the world around us. Let us move into kindness for ourselves and others. 

Blessings dark and light!

Monday Moonday Mushroom Oracle - late!

 

I’m  2 days late! So sorry, I got sidetracked and forgot.

18 Blue Pinkgil, Rarity: 

This mushroom is a rare sight in nature and when it is seen it really stands out. People take notice even though it is small in size.

Being different, individual, having our own purpose is a good thing… even when we think it separates us. 

But rarity is not necessarily unique, it doesn’t mean we are alone or doing it wrong. Each of us is a complex mosaic, each piece beautiful with something to contribute. And that rarity can protect us from things we are better off without. 

We can stop worrying about going our own way, not fitting in with other’s ideal. We have our own purpose and that’s 

truly a good thing. Relax, embrace that uniqueness and know we are not alone. There is connection for us with other rare creatures. 

Blessings dark and light!

 Imbolc and Full Moon Blessings. 

As the seeds stir, may you find renewal, regeneration, and restoration, 

Yes, despite the snow and cold, the seeds are stirring and the blood is warming. We are still in the mode of rest, but renewal is coming. Taking time to care for ourselves is part of our devotional and magickal work. Warming, nourishing foods, soothing , healing meditations, spells for renewal and restoration are all part of taking care. The energy of the full moon will enhance all of that, so get busy, my dears.

A Candle Spell

I found this chant on Pinterest and thought it would go well with a Crystal Journey Positive Energy candle and a protection candle burning at the same time. A very good combination.

Blessings dar and light.

31 Verdigris Agaric, Impress

We are beautiful and the things we do are beautiful. Our purpose: stand out, let ourselves be seen showing the world our beauty. Standing up, making an impression can have important effects on others. We just never know, because many times we hesitate, we are unsure of our own worth. But, the truth is we do have something to offer. So let go, free ourselves, believe in ourselves, put it right out there. Our purpose doesn’t have to be a big one in the scheme of things. We just never know.  And we never know how long we are here for, so… get busy, make life good. Let’s get out of the rage and anger cycle, embrace beauty, open our hearts, stand proud and beautiful. We are enough.

Blessings dark and light!

Acknowledge & Release Spell

 I found this spell on Facebook, it doesn’t give anything but a chant. I like the chant and thought, yes, this could be very helpful for releasing. So I added a black candle, because a black candle is always a good addition in this type of work. 

I focused on what needed releasing, really thought about it and spent some time with it. Then I lit my candle and chanted this three times. 

Perhaps you have something that needs releasing in order to heal yourself? Join me.

Blessings dark and light!

24 Bamboo Mushroom, Fertility

This card is all about truly understanding what is necessary to grow and spread our seeds. Setting the scene correctly by understanding what we want and who we can rely on, clears the way ensuring everything we need will come to us effortlessly. When we rely on others, we must understand their needs as well as our own in order to make the relationship work. Being in that relationship can help us achieve and grow in ways we may not be able to on our own. 

This card tells us something is about to spread and grow through the help of others or… we may be instrumental in assisting someone to achieve their dream.

Blessings dark and light!
