 16: Ixchel, Fertility and Healing 

Ixchel, Mayan goddess of the moon, she is the goddess of Sacred Light, the Lady of Rainbows, and giver of water and rain. A powerful healer, Patroness of Midwives, She watches over pregnant women.

We are guided to strongly connect with our feminine energy and inner healer. Whatever healing path we follow, Reiki, hands on healing, chakra work,sound healing, plant medicine, now is the time to work that energy. Focusing on ourselves is the message, and sending a bit to others shows our open hearts. We utilize whatever our intuition tells us. The Full Moon’s energy is powerfully amplifying our work.

Bring our dreams into being, birth creative endeavors, heal emotions - especially those related to sexual trauma, fertility issues, miscarriage, and abortion. Dream work will also assist us. We know our power and Ixchel’s hands shine Her light and essence, opening the way.

Questions to ask ourselves, consider them before sleep and meditation:

What is fertile in our lives? What should we focus our attention on for healing? What are we open to receiving? What is our next step? Let us consider these. Now we make it so.

Blessing dark and light!

 9: Fate: Weave, connect, be aware

Although this card connects to the waxing crescent moon, with the full moon just a few days away we are being shown that the light is right there, illuminating our way and bringing something into being.

We are inspired to take control and make it happen. Stop dilly dallying and give birth. Whatever has been in the gestation phase is ready to come to life. We have what is needed to do this.

Connect to our own power by taking control, setting aside hesitation, trusting our intuition, this is the divine timing for what is to be accomplished. Open your awareness and receive the knowing. 

Cerridwen guides us to finish weaving our task. We need only stay true to ourselves and not be concerned with what is happening around us. We are what matters right now. By focusing on what we can control, we allow Fate to take care of the rest.

To assist us, once again the trees, the soil, the roots and stones call us to come out this weekend and connect. Let us join and burrow ourselves  into and with Mama Earth. Flow with the energies of the Moon as She come into Her brightest full light and power. Utilize all of this to achieve, complete, or attain. Now is the time, make it so.

Blessings dark and light!

A Healing Spell

 Here is a beautiful chant I found for when working self-healing. 

Gather: 

3 candles, purple, green, and white, candle holders

A healing incense of your choice. Suggestions: Hem Divine Healing,  Satya Reiki, Frankincense, whatever you like.

Incense burner, matches or lighter, 

At a time when you can have privacy and quiet, gather your supplies. Allow yourself to relax and do some breathing work that will relax you. I find the following technique very soothing and helpful even during anxiety: breathe in through the nose for a count of 6 to 8, hold for 4, breathe out through the nose for a count of 8 to 10. Hold for 4.  Repeat at least for or five times. Allow yourself, your body to release all tension, let go. Focus your thoughts on surrounding yourself with white, golden, or violet light.

 

Light all three candles along with the healing incense of your choice. Repeat this chant 9 times as your candles burn. Know that perfect healing in whatever way is needed is yours. Now recite the chant nine times. Allow the candles to burn out completely or extinguish and repeat for 3 days in a row. Be sure to drink some nettle tea or infusion after. While working the spell, listen to some Solfeggio frequency music to intensify the magick.

A bit about nettle tea: I learned about nettle tea from my friend Cynthia at Medicine Woods Botanicals, she also was the former owner of Moonmaid Botanicals, and has been an herbalist for well over 40 years. She taught me that nettles make a most healing, nourishing tonic and recommends it highly. You can buy her Nourishing NettleTea at her website www.medicinewoodsbotanicals.com.  I try to drink a quart throughout the day, several days a week. I also like her Mega Minerals Tea which is very nourishing and healing too.

To make the most nourishing infusion, take a quart jar or glass measuring cup, add 1/4 cup dried nettles, pour boiling water to fill the jar. Lightly cover and leave at least four hours or overnight to steep. I prepare mine before bed and leave overnight on the counter. In the morning I strain the infusion and drink through the day. I like the taste which is earthy and green, and drink it as is. You can sweeten with a bit of honey if you like. I also charge my infusion with Reiki, you can also say a blessing over it and charge in whatever manner you prefer.

Blessings dark and light!

7: Legacy of Light

We are advised to accept support and nourishment from those who came before us, our ancestors, not only those of our bloodline, but those of spirit. By doing this, partaking of the feast They lay before us, we become bearers of that legacy for those who we will support in the future.This light is wisdom, creativity, change, love, and respect. We carry this within and need to allow its brilliance to come through.

There is a choice we are in the process of making, or have made, and this message is confirmation it in alignment with our sacred purpose. The choice we made or are making is of great importance to us, to our spiritual growth.

Our Ancestors that surround us at this time are those of unconditional love and the place we are coming from in making our choice or decision is one of love and pure intention to live our lives and do the best we can for ourselves. This will overflow and extend to others in our lives as we remain true to ourselves, our purpose and passion. 

We do, in fact, have some special creative or healing offerings to make that are of importance. Do it, pursue it, let it come into being. It is the right path.

Blessings dark and light!

Core: the center of our existence, the center of our entire being. And like the earth’s core, this is a place that is almost impossible to reach. Yet… we know it is there, and its very nature holds us together, its energy providing stability and change. In that center, our core, there is equalization and weightlessness, everything comes into being from here.

When the pressures of life become too much, when we cannot find balance, let us travel deep within ourselves, to the very heart of our being and find rest. Drift, float, we can find peace in that stillness that lives at the very center of our beings.

It is not an easy task to get there, it can be a rough journey taking perseverance. But we can get there, we do it sometimes without realizing it. And at the core, we find peace.

Whatever is going on in the world, our lives, we need to withdraw into that core space. When choices need to be made, the answer lies at the heart of the situation and the action we may need to take. What does our gut tell us? Weigh all the options, plot the journey, the answer is there and peace, stability will come back into being. Just like the molten fire at the earth’s core, our own fire of life and light is there, deep inside. That energy will provide answers, will provide strength. Utilizing what we have is the key and we all have something there to get us through. Burrowing within, finding our center, all will come into balance. 

Blessings dark and light!

Moon Dreams

And the moon never beams

Without bringing me dreams

And the sun never shines

But I see the bright eyes

I lie down…

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.

Blessings dark and light !
