9. Freya, Sensuality 

Freya is the Norse goddess of love, fertility, and magick. A kind goddess who reflects the full cycle of life and death. In my experience She is also a take no crap goddess who unapologetically does what needs to be done. 

I feel this oracle is very timely. There is so much body shaming that has made a real comeback on line. There are many women promoting starvation diets, celebrities who are clearly severely underweight are being hailed as perfect and healthy, and what we should aspire to. Yesterday, someone I know posted a horribly nasty meme about an obese woman with many degrading comments and laughing emojis.  I was very surprised that she did this, but saw someone repeatedly calling her out. So…

We are guided to get in touch with our bodies, know its needs, its limits, appreciate its beauty and uniqueness, care for it. Our bodies are our personal temples, be they large or small, smooth or wrinkly, they are perfect in their imperfectness, and deserving of love. 

Our feminine sensuality is a divine gift and sacred right. We deserve nurturing and care. And we need to be strong when anyone decides they want to shame us for that sensuality, for our appearance, for our boundaries. We are sovereign.

Freya reminds us we have the strength to accomplish, achieve, and persevere in any situation. We must know this in our innermost being. We embrace our magickal abilities to bring our needs and desires into reality; we acknowledge what brings us satisfaction and follow our heart’s desires. We live every moment to the fullest, in our own power, and let no one take that power from us. We stand strong, beautiful, resilient. It is time to remember that our bodies, however they are, are the sacred vessels of our essence, perfect as they are. Our bodies, love them, care for them to the best of our abilities, rejoice in them. We make it so!

Blessings dark and light.

12: The Secret of Camelot, the authority of spirit 

We will be encountering some mundane authority figure for discussion or conversation of some importance. While this person or perhaps even persons hold the power in this physical world, we are the mystics and our spiritual perspective will be highly influential for the outcome of this encounter. 

We are guided to trust our intuition, our spiritual gifts. While that mundane power is recognized by the physical world, the pure spirit within us comes with us into this situation. Our priestess self is most needed at this time so we can guide or influence any outcome.

Whatever realms we move through, our gifts have purpose, our work has meaning, our words and presence have meaning that will be felt. And so it is.

Blessings dark and light!

 39 Priestess of the Gift to Serve

We are advised to stand in our priestess energy. The need our gifts is strong this week. It may be people, or perhaps the earth Herself. Whatever it is, listen to know. However, while trusting in our intuition to wisely guide us, let us not be fooled by illusions. We will know who or what is deserving of our time and energy. From the giving comes the flow of joy and ease allowing us to live with purpose and passion, live as we desire and deserve. Through this powerful blessing of giving, we open ourselves fully to receive.  Let it begin, let it be so.

Blessings dark and light!

 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!
