39: Priestess of the Gift to Serve.

I pulled this card and really got a great deal from it, different in some ways from the deck’s guide book so I am going with my intuition.

This card is about being of service to community and tribe, to others. However, I strongly sense that at this time we need to be of service to ourselves first. We need to take a good look around at us, at how we have been living, feeling, what we have been doing , and who we have been serving. This card’s message is about trusting our intuition but not being fooled by illusions. This is speaking so loudly to us. People will take as much as we give… and keep taking. Who does that really serve? We can’t care for everyone, and it really isn’t our job. Let us listen to and take care of ourselves first. Our own devotional duties come first, our Goddesses deserve our attention before we go off ministering to everyone else. Of course be of service where we can, send healing, assist, but only after we have taken care of ourselves. We need to look within then look around - how does that align? Are we staying true to our own purpose and passions? Are we neglecting ourselves and putting other things and people first? Are we allowing ourselves to give without limit? 

Give powerfully to ourselves and we will then have enough to give to those who deserve and need our help, those who will be grateful and give in return with love. We have a purpose, but that doesn’t mean only to others, our priority is ourselves, our goddesses, our path. When we are fulfilled from within, we will have enough to share.

Blessings dark and light!

31: Tlazolteoll, Restoration and Transformation 

Tlazolteoll is an Aztec Moon Goddess, a pardoner of sins, Eater of Filth. She is the one to whom one’s worst deeds were confessed to. Sacrifices were made to Her to receive the purifying and regenerative energies of earth. A midwife, who through decomposition of that which no longer serves us, brings life. She proves that what overwhelms and destroys can also heal. A goddess of spinners and weavers, Tlazolteoll connects us to the cycle of creation and the ever changing powers of the Earth. She eats the errors of Her children and restores them to who they really are. 

It is time, let us transform and restore whatever it is in our lives right now that needs change and healing. No matter what it is, this toxic energy holds us in fear, shame, and insecurity. 

Tlazolteoll’s message is to come to Her and allow Her to assist in releasing whatever it is. We all make mistakes, we all have experiences that hurt and harmed, we have been harmed by others, we have harmed ourselves. But She tells us we are truly perfect in our essence. We are strong enough to resolve and heal these issues, to move through and past them. We do not need to stay in that energy which keeps us from experiencing joy, peace, and the wonder of life.

In Her name, make offerings: donate clothing or food to shelters or food banks, clear away things you no longer need, tidy your garden or some place in nature that needs some restoration; cleanse yourself and your space. Then, be more mindful of how you conduct yourself, how you care for yourself, how you treat others, the Earth.

Tlazolteoll reminds us that there is no sin, only errors in life’s journey. Be brave, the pain of transformation is temporary.

What We Share, Learn, and Live With

I have always told those who studied with me or who were interested in what and how I practice, that I follow my own path. I created and cobbled together what had and still has value to me. While at one time I was happy to share that practice, I learned a very valuable lesson that changed my mind about sharing and teaching. 

I have never cared if what I do in my spiritual practice is carried on by anyone else when I am gone. I told the people I practiced with this too. It was never about that. Certainly it was lovely to participate in ritual with others, there have been wonderful times that I enjoyed and received much from. But I also remembered to only share what felt right to share. There were always things I held back, which puzzled me. I was fairly open in my teaching and helping others. I now realize there was a good reason for that strong sense that I should not share certain practices and workings.

My life has drastically changed from last year and I am struggling to accept and carry on. People I thought would always be part of my life are no longer with me by, I assume, their choice. I even live in a different place. It takes some adjusting to work through what I feel, it is so much change. I didn’t expect it and so never prepared for it. But that’s life, isn’t it? Live and learn is a cliche for a good reason.

Within I have always know who and what I am, imperfect, stubborn, yet loving with much to give. And so I went about doing what good I could and messing up, as one does, in most cases, repairing where I could… like we all do. And I learned my lessons well which has caused sadness, but not really any surprise. 

My Goddesses and Ancestors stand by me, teach, heal, and scold. I am finding new ways to carry on, new magicks, new interests and insights. It seems those guardians who have always been with me are standing closer, propping me up, pushing me forward. I am a bit wiser and will conduct myself accordingly, with more discernment. I don’t need to be anyone’s teacher or guide any longer. 

Instead, I will conduct myself accordingly, my devotional work with be done with more vigor than ever, my Reiki practice will continue with a still open heart, and I will appreciate what I have had and have, continuing to experience the mysteries and magick that my life holds.

And so it is. Blessings dark and light!

24: Mother Mary, Unconditional Love and Faith 

Mother Mary, appropriate for the day after Mother’s Day. She is pure love, unconditional, no judgement, surrender, comfort, and peace. We all need this, flowing into and surrounding us. And it is there, truly. Today we open ourselves to Her blessings.

Let us allow ourselves to release any doubt. We are loved; reassurance and faith strengthen us, healing us from whatever we have suffered. We now believe in ourselves and the eternal love of the Divine. 

Our visions and thoughts have the power to create and heal, restoring us to wholeness of body, mind, and soul. Let us remember to stay in the present. We cannot change what has gone before, but it is over and we are here now, alive, breathing and radiating. Let it be so. Tomorrow will be what it will be, unknown, not here yet. No need to worry today about what we don’t know. Staying present in love and ourselves gives us strength and peace.

We honor our feelings and begin our transformation by letting go and filling that space with something else. We don’t give attention any longer to what we don’t desire; instead we put it on what is desired. Have faith, it will come to pass, it is done. 

Whatever experience we may have had with our own mothers, our Divine Great Mother does love us wholeheartedly, unconditionally, and forever. Know it, embrace it, it is so.

Blessings dark and light.

Weekend Oracle: Blue Tara

 

 

Blue Tara: Transmutation of Anger

One of the 21 Taras, Blue Tara represents Unity and Transmutation of Anger. She offers assistance in cleansing negativity and restoring positive energy in our lives. She helps us release fear and anxiety. It is interesting that Green Tara advised us last week. It is time to heal.

We are guided to release our anger, stand up for ourselves. And there is no need to hold back or express this anger aggressively. There are other ways.

We sit down, paying attention to our feelings, seeing the shadowy part that comes forward. We see it, accept it, and let it go. We ascend to our healing and spiritual path. We claim our power and break the circle that keeps us dwelling on that which does not serve us. We heal with strength and gentleness, love and balance.

Blessings dark and light!

The Charge of Hekate

THE CHARGE OF HEKATE

Hear the words of Soteira, Most Manifest Goddess, from whom we all came and to whom we will one day return; She who is Above and Below, Within and Without...

Come, my children, to my moonlit temple and bathe in the healing light of my torches, I call your soul to order...and to action.

I will hold to me all those who cannot protect themselves. I will instil in the few, the power to stand against the many. My fire is both pure and fierce; let those who would harm those in my care, feel the soul-burn of their actions and come to realise they are no more or less than mortal.

Celebrate my names and forms in the phases of the moon and the turning of the seasons. Look for me not in the world around you, but instead look deep within yourself

You were born of my Great Fire. I gave you the spark of your soul and have always been with you...

Hail Hekate, Anima Mundi.

Hail Hekate, Anima Mundi.

Hail Hekate, Anima Mundi.

She who is the very soul of the world,

Within me lives the same spark,

That fuels all of creation, And birthed the universe.

Hail Hekate, Anima Mundi.

Hail Hekate, Anima Mundi.

Hail Hekate, Anima Mundi.

Weekend Oracle

 Heat

Heat, the impetus for change. It gets things moving and a bit of that is what we need for this weekend. Let’s take a risk, shake things up, see what happens!

Movement is constant, so let’s direct it to suit us. Pulling ourselves out of stagnation this weekend doesn’t mean not relaxing, getting some down time. We can do that, but fire up our creative energies. Still the mind, focus on our heart centers and allow wisdom to flow. This will illuminate our thoughts and nurture our souls. 

Write, draw, stitch, crochet, knit, weave, play with paper and glue, different fibers, colors, whatever you have. Cook something different. Our imaginations are limitless and so are we. Let’s fire things up to whatever degree suits and have at it. This weekend is ours for exploration and creation, however that manifests for each of us. 

Wishing each of you the weekend that brings the most fulfillment and joy. 

Blessings dark and light!

 11. Green Tara, Compassion and Empathy 

Green Tara, a goddess of compassion,  is also a goddess of action. She is the savior who hears our suffering, bringing comfort while encouraging us to overcome our difficulties. Green Tara is nurturing and kind, providing a much needed refuge.

We are advised to be compassionate with ourselves today, accepting and forgiving our own shortcomings and mistakes. We will not allow others to hurt or mistreat us. And… we will love ourselves absolutely, completely, honoring ourselves.

Blessings dark and light.

A Spell To Release the Past

 

Take a black chime candle, anoint with lavender oil, carve the words “the past that hurts me” while focusing on an issue that is causing you pain. Light the black candle, still focusing on that issue. Chant this nine times, visualizing the issue as wisps of smoke or fog drifting away from you.  Allow the candle to burn out. Toss the remnants of any left over wax in the trash and KNOW the issue is released.

Blessings dark and light.
