Sol Invictus

As this week promises warmer weather through the weekend, I'm reminded of an invocation I learned some 30 years ago...

Immortality be upon this One
He is a sharer in the Sun's everlasting Light
This world will hold him forever

Today's Message...

You're being asked to reexamine your intentions today.  What is the real reason you want to reach your goal?  Are you being driven by your true destiny, or lured by fantasy and desires of the ego?  It's time to be very clear about your direction and know that there's no easier way or shortcut.
It appears as though you are limiting and thwarting the outcome of your desires by over-analyzing and thinking too much.  It's important to allow Spirit to decide "how" a situation will resolve.  We may think that there are only specific ways to arrive at our desired outcome, but there are unimaginable permutations contained within the infinite universe.  Remember the old saying, "Let go, let God?"  Well, that's exactly what's being said in this message.  Set your sights on your highest good, and allow the flow of universal energies to take you where you need to be.


All Blessings Be.  )O(

Today's Animal Spirit...Butterfly

Ok...so she's not necessarily an animal, but she flits into our lives today to bring us a valuable message.  Not surprisingly, Butterfly has similar spiritual meaning in every culture in the world.  She brings us the concept of transformation, change, and gentle transition.  Change is very hard for most of us; but by giving in to the flow rather than working against the universal currents, we can arrive at a much better state than we imagined.  The changes that occur in our lives are usually quite different than we expect.  Butterfly teaches us that growth doesn't have to be painful, if we open ourselves to the awareness of her colorful lightness and joyous dance on the winds of life.
In this season of the rebirth of the light/the Sun, let us take time to discern what is important right now, be thankful for our blessings, and above all...don't sweat the small stuff.


An Irish blessing goes: "May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun, and find your shoulder to light on...to bring you luck, happiness and riches today, tomorrow and beyond."


All Blessings Be.  )O(

Reclaiming the Power

So, Monday night was the full moon. OMG! It was so beautiful! May's Full Moon is called the Flower Moon & sometimes, the Milk Moon.

I wanted to share with you my personal ritual for "Drawing Down the Moon."

Stand, facing her, & simply gaze for a few moments. Empty your mind & just enjoy her natural beauty. When you feel that peaceful, comfortable feeling...when your mind & body are at rest & relaxed...lift your hands in the crescent shape & begin to chant this rune:

Here in this Circle of the Moon

I call the Maiden, Mother, Crone

Rounded and complete of purpose

In the fullness of your presence

Yours is Magick! Yours is Power!

Make me One with your Essence!

Keep chanting this at least 3X or until you feel the energy within you peak. Once you feel you have drawn the power of the moon within you, seal it with a final "So Mote It Be." Then touch your hands to the earth or floor, depending on where you are performing the ritual. This will serve to ground the energy & make it useful to you.

All Blessings Be. )O(

The Great Teacher

Nature is considered to be the Great Teacher. The Ancients taught that the "Creators" placed into the fabric of Creation, a reflection of that which created it. Therefore, the laws of Nature are reflections of Divine Laws or Principles, which operate in a dimension behind and above those of physical Nature. Thus, the Ancients coined the phrase "as above, so below". This means that that which is below, is (in essence) like that which is above.

Studying the Ways of Nature gives us a glimpse of the Divine Ways, and from these we see the returning of the Seasons (reincarnation) and the laws of Cause & Effect (Karma) concerning the use (and misuse) of the Earth's land, air, resources, and living creatures. The ways of Spirit are imprinted upon the Ways of Nature. Understanding Nature, allows one to begin to understand the Creators.

This is my reasoning for the Animal Spirit messages that you've read in my blog. The animals, with their simplistic life-views & survivalist intuition, offer profound wisdom for reaching our truest & oftentimes, ignored potential.

With that, I give you today's message of wisdom from our animal brothers & sisters:

You’ve heard the expression “playing possum”? It means to play dead and is derived from Opossum’s ability to act in whatever way the situation demands. If it’s practical to play dead, so be it; if it’s to Opossum’s advantage to be aggressive, watch out! Take your cue from this master actor today—and play the role that will serve you best.

All Blessing Be. )O(

Why Me???

Often times, we find ourselves in situations that seem very discouraging, frustrating, almost desparate and unbearable. Take heart my friends. Though I am not Christian, I am reminded of a wonderful phrase from the bible that says: God will never give you any more problems than you can handle. It's such a simple, but powerful statement.

Many of these situations are brought on by a need for change. When Spirit sees that you are completely unaware or simply not listening to your heart, situations will come about to force you into making the necessary changes to fulfill your life's purpose.

We are all lightworkers in our own way. We all have our positive contribution to make to the evolution, healing & spiritual growth of the universe. Remember the cosmic web? We are all connected & each & every motion, thought & reaction affect the intricate patterns of those energy threads.

All this points to a simplistic life view...Strive to fulfill your life's purpose...to know it, to understand it, to perfect it...& by doing so, you will positively contribute to all life, as well as keep your own karma from any harmful consequences.

Much Love & Light.

All Blessings Be.)O(
