March

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Marvelous, Mellow, Momentous, Meteoric, Mirthful March Monday delicious lovely!  That’s right we are in a new month – March, the promise of Spring! 

Can you feel the energy slowly building- the energy of rebirth, release and rejuvenation?  I sure can and thankfully Mumma Nature has been showing off with swaths of snowdrops carpeting the hillsides and massive clumps of wild daffodils popping up in the most random places.  I so love their bright yellow heads that bob and dance in the breeze or the rain, they literally scream “Spring is coming”, which it is with Spring Equinox on the 20th!  Whoot! 

The birds have come flooding back and they happily empty out the bird feeder once every 3 days (greedy little buggers), and the other afternoon, as I sat out in the sun pondering the design of my Witches garden, I laughed to watch two chubby, chubby little nuthatches give themselves a thorough scrub down in the bird bath.  They were filled with pure glee and throwing water everywhere.  

I love this time of year.  There’s a glorious sense of promise, growth, celebration and I love, love, love it!  What signs of Spring are you seeing around you?

Many of you have messaged and emailed asking when the doors to Creatrix Circle are going to open again and if there is going to be an Equinox reading special.  Well, I am pleased to let you know that Creatrix Circle will be opening her doors on March 8th until March 21st (the day after equinox and the first time since December).  Thus, if you want to join a circle of like minded, amazing women, deepen into your practice and listen to the messages of your DNA that speak to you of your witch, wise woman, alchemist side – come join us!  Also, there will be an Equinox reading special from March 15th until March 21st.  I hope that answers your questions.  

So, I have a question for you – meditation – do you do it? 

We all know that meditation helps us to destress, relax and lower our blood pressure, but it also connects us to our higher self.  The wise one, the teacher and the guide that is in us.  It also connects us to the Divine on a clear channel that is not filled with static.  Yet………….. Yet many have shared with me that “they don’t have the time”, the time to go sit on the special meditation cushion, with the candle lit and quiet reigning around them.  I agree, life can be busy, but why does meditation have to happen in such a controlled environment?

With this Full Moon in Virgo that happened on Saturday, we were invited to connect to our Higher Self.  Fabulous, but if we don’t have time to manicure the details to make it pleasing for us, how does that happen?  At our Full Moon gathering in Creatrix Circle we explored that and an invitation for the next two weeks of a reframe was thrown down.

Virgo, is the sign associated with those routines that comprise most of our days— working, running errands, preparing meals—as well as the habits we form through repetition of those routines. For the most part, we regard these habits and routines as entirely separate from our spiritual lives.  But something is being lost, I think, in our determination to avoid these humble occupations; it’s often the small, ordinary tasks that offer the most accessible route from unconscious habit to mindful ritual, as well as the most frequent opportunities for attempting the journey. 

Intention, and consciousness. You can sweep the kitchen floor each evening and hardly notice doing it, beyond a vague desire to have it over with as quickly as possible. But imagine you instead give your full attention to sweeping the floor carefully and thoroughly, visualizing the debris and disorder of your mind being swept away with the bread crumbs. Feel the difference? 

Why make such a big deal out of sweeping a floor? Because we don’t live for frigging ever!  Do you really have five minutes every day—more than thirty hours each year!—to waste on meaningless, unconscious activity? Why not use those five minutes as a sort of practical prayer, to celebrate being alive?

 Ritual is not magic; it is ordinary, everyday action performed with magical intention. It is the union of practical and spiritual.  

Ritual is ordinary action carefully performed with extraordinary intention. It is how we honor the invisible with visible gestures. 

During the next two weeks between the Virgo Full Moon and the next New Moon, ferret out those circumstances that bore you, irritate you, or overwhelm you. Where in your life do you encounter drudgery, the feeling you’re “just going through the motions”? Where are you most likely to be annoyed or short tempered with others? What ordinary situations make you feel so overwhelmed, you no longer know how to untangle them? These are situations that suggest unconsciousness. They are situations which, if approached with intention rather than a sense of distasteful obligation, present the greatest avenue for your spiritual growth right now.  Willing to give it a try and turn Mundanity into a delicious conversation with the Divine?

Okay, I have chuntered on so let’s crack on with the reading.  

So interestingly enough when I went to the cards to ask who wanted to guide and teach this week, I was tickled when The Oracle of the Dragonfae were adamant.  Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you:-  These guides are the magickal and mystical that weave through the threads of every day, they are the Dragonfae, Gods and Goddesses who dwelt in dimensional lands….Eden, Avalon, Ys, Atlantis and Mu, they are Morgan, Guenevere, Merlin and others – fully alive and filled with magick! They are the deliciously magickal beings that have always been there, we just forgot, and when we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life on this beautiful green and blue planet, known by some as Gaia, by others as Dana, and by many other names. 

We all need some wisdom and magic in our worlds on a daily basis.  

Ready?  I invite you to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth for a few deep, long breaths.  As you breathe, see in your mind’s eye that everything you do is a living prayer.  And remember, all that you touch you change and that all that you change, Changes You!.  Breathe this way for however long you have and when your shoulders have relaxed away from  your ears and your jaw is loose pick the card or cards that resonate for you at this time.  

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s have a look shall we?

THE LADY ALFREDA

Know you this: that whatsoever you send out, you attract back to the power of three.  Intent has energy, as do thoughts, feelings and emotions, and once released, this vibrational thought field radiates out and attracts back to you that which was sent out.  This is the Law of the Threefold return, an ancient Law that the wise ones have known of for many a year, though many of the humans have refused to listen to its wisdom.  

So, if you cry out an injustice, and if you are in pain, you must clear the reasons these manifestations of the Law were brought to you, were drawn to you, by you.  As you think, so will you live.  As you do, others will do unto you.  This is the magickal law.

Do not be afraid of this truth:  see it as a source of freedom.  There is no blame in this karmic truth, for all that you send out will return.  There is no other place for it to go.  Your own underworld initiation is ending soon, and the dark will soon come to be but a place full of rest, release, wisdom and deep, ancient knowledge.  The Law is the Law.  And the Lady’s Law is love unto all.  Follow this, and the Threefold Return will work its magicks.  

Do you not know the truth?  Your own underworld is not hell, but your dark time in the cauldron of your experience, your growth, your understanding, your knowledge.  Now you have the knowledge of the Law, will you work with it, knowing it to be truth?

It is time to get real and own what you have previously blamed on others.  This does not mean blaming yourself.  Instead work on shifting your own karmic residue (Dragonfae are wonderful at this!) and understanding the connections between what you have sent out and what you have created.  Look to your own intent.  Make friends with your shadow and thank it for the lessons.  

MELUSINE

Keys are rare in the realm of spirit; but I now provide you with a key that will open the door to who you truly are.  Your true feelings about self-worth and self-love have been hidden, locked away for years, but now they will be revealed, and healed, for all time.  For there is a part of you that you feel is not suitable to be shown to others, particularly in romantic relationships.  You feel that this part of you is unacceptable and lacking in beauty. 

However, this part of you, in being denied, is causing pain and guilt to surface within relationships where there need be none.  You deserve to be loved for all of you, for the parts that are claws and thorns, for your lines and your grief, for your irritability and your sadnesses.

I Melusine, do not say to go into these parts and stay there, but know that what you consider to be unacceptable is in fact part of your beauty – and true beauty is wholeness.  Come forward and be revealed, and never again mistrust or reject a portion of who you are.  Embrace your scars and flaws, and see them as wonderful differences that only make you unique, and very real.  Open your heart, unlock the door and step out of the enchanted chamber in which you have hidden this aspect of who you are.  Love all of you, your body and soul, your mind and spirit, your ancestry and your trials and challenges.

You are perfect, whole and complete, with the unique stamp of this individual body and soul upon you.  I will help you love yourself more truly and deeply than ever before.  Take this key, and unlock the secret parts of you.  Let them see the light, and know that you are safer for doing so than you have ever been before, in any of your numerous lifetimes.

DREAMCATCHER

I am the Dragonfae being who comes in the night, who travels through the dimensions to the doorway of the worlds.  I will stand while you sleep and send you messages that you can unravel in your waking hours.  All that is no longer needed will come to me, if you allow it, and I will catch it in my web between my hands, lit up by the light that travels from the solar plexus of this Universe, the being you call Sun, but which I call Bel.  This Bel shines through your day and at night I reflect that light into you, cleansing what is irritating and difficult for you, but keeping all that which you need to go forward.  

There is nothing to fear from the presence of we dream beings…I am yours, and in your dreams we will journey, we will explore, we will share and we will be happy together.  I will help you reach your goals and if you believe, great blessing from Spirit will be yours.  We are part of the same tribe and your blood is mine.  This dreamcatcher is at your service.

Every night you allow me to visit, I will be your protector, your solar plexus will be opened a little further and your light will shine a little brighter in this world.  I can help you see the threads of your future and to follow them.  Let me into your dreams.  Invite me in.  This is my request of you.

Holy Hannah, gotta love the messages for this week – intention, being yourself and allowing support in your dream space.  So gorgeous one, I wish for you a week filled with the signs of Spring to remind you of rebirth, change and delight.  I also invite you to look upon the things that you consider “mundane or drudgery” as an opportunity to connect with something bigger than yourself.  Sending you big hugs and squeezes and see you next week!
