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 & Full Moon Blessings

 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.

Blessings dark and light!

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.

Monday Moonday Mushroom Oracle

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!

Release the Energies of the Day

 Before sleep I chant this prayer to release and dissipate any energies that I would rather be rid of and bring in a good night’s sleep.

An Evening Prayer to Release the Energies of the Day:

I now release and dissipate any and all 

energies that are not mine to carry,

Including contracts, promises, and connections from all lives past, present, and future, 

from all timelines, in all ways, 

that do not serve my peaceful and fulfilling existence.

I now let go any and all emotions from

myself or others that do not serve my health on all levels 

and that  interfere with my peace and relaxation.

I now allow and receive loving, nourishing, 

restorative, and healing rest, 

surrounded by the protection and blessings 

of my loving ancestors and the Goddesses 

that love and guide me. 

As I have said it, it is so.

Blessings deep and peaceful!

Just for today be kind to every living being

I am not perfect by any means, but I strive every day to live the Reiki precepts, especially “Just for today be kind to every living being.” I am struggling a bit with this at the moment, but struggle is the key, I am working on it. There is so much hate out there lately, no compassion for  people who really are innocent, kind, and just trying to live their lives without placing themselves where they shouldn’t be, such as a young woman who went out to jog and enjoy her day, but never made it home. And perhaps too much compassion for people who, honestly, are coming from a place of hate and irresponsibility. Think about what you are doing and the consequences that may follow. Stop being hateful, it isn’t good for you or anyone else. And that is said with compassion, truly.

Just for today, be kind to every living being.

Blessings deep and bright!

Tasks of the Priestess, Works of the Witch

In the deep of winter I am working at my own healing after realizing that we can never count on anyone but ourselves. It is a hard lesson when you have given a great deal. But… there are other avenues that will open, of that I am assured. With the guidance of my Goddesses, my Ancestresses, and the other spirits that assist me, I do what I have always done. Move right along. And so it is.

Great Mothers, Ancestresses of Blood and Breed, Spirits wise and true, 
Assist me now as I move forward.
Your guidance and support I call upon.
In return, along with my devotion,
You shall have sweet bread and spiced teas,
Lovely scented smoke and burning flames.
The tasks of the priestess, 
The works of the witch,
They save my soul.
