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.

Monday Moonday Mushroom Oracle: 30 Parrot Waxcap, Isolation.

Isolation can be a good thing, assisting us in clearing our minds, being able to hear our own thoughts… without outside distractions. Finding peace is easier when we are on our own, and it brings the greatest rewards.

But on another level, feeling isolated can leave us in a place of emptiness, loneliness, being abandoned. We have to face the fact that others have just up and disappeared, and there is nothing we can do about this. 

So we ask ourselves what do we need, what can we do for ourselves to bring happiness back into our lives? What is it that sustains us and that we can provide ourselves with? This may feel sad, but it is an opportunity to heal ourselves, bringing out our inner strength, showing us that, in ourselves, we are just fine.

Sometimes this may seem hard, but ultimately knowing independence is what we need and have carries us on.

Blessings dark and light.

Monday Moonday Mushroom Oracle: 10 Tremella Yin:

Yin is fluid, cold, calm, nurturing, and this card is about bringing more yin into our lives. 

Where are we out of balance? Where has the masculine/yang taken control? This could be about more than just our own lives.

Self care, such as meditation, a nourishing healthy diet, and soothing rituals, caring for ourselves, are essential in order to bring us back to balance. Where and what do we need to focus on more closely?

On a spiritual level, with all that is happening in the world, we need to focus on the Divine Feminine’s teachings and vision. Women are very divided today and many are allowing the more masculine and violent energies to rule. Hatred is damaging to our souls, our bodies, and our planet. We are in great need of the nourishing feminine energies. 

The anger and hate that is being shown by many women is damaging on so many levels. Calling on the wise woman within to restore ourselves and bring Her wisdom and healing into the world will be of more benefit, bringing peace and stability.

Blessings dark and light!

Dressing a Candle

Some tips for dressing your candles: 

- easy with oil, you don’t need a lot. If you overdo it, you’ll have a candle that goes up like a torch. I tell you this from experience, lol!

- same with the herbs - easy does it or you are going to have a torch and it could be a problem.

- maintain focus on what you’re doing, intention adds to the success of you candle spell. It’s all about what you put it in. 

- use different colors of wax to kick up the energy. Red adds energy and it is always a good choice. 

Blessings dark and light!

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.

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
