Thanksgiving, Libra Super New Moon and Kindness.

Happy Magickal, Marvelous, Musical, Majestical, Manifesting Monday!

How are you gorgeous one?  Here in Canada it is Thanksgiving and I will say it was quite lovely yesterday to get out prior to the intense rain and watch the sun rise and light up all the gorgeous leaf colours. As I yomped with Danu revelling in the glory that I was seeing for some reason an old hymn from childhood came burbling up.  “We plough the fields and scatter the good seed on the land….” and when I couldn’t remember various lines I would belt out dum, de, dum, de, dum!  (Made a few people look at me a tad askance lol).  Have to say though, Mama Nature is really quite a creative beastie to say the least.  Then the rain came sleeting in at a heavy rate and it became the perfect day to stay in doors, unpack some boxes and cook a massive Thanksgiving meal!  

Which got me to thinking about gratitude, kindness, open hands and an open heart.  Currently here the homeless populace is huge and due to Covid there are so many places that aren’t open so they are camped out in the parks.  You can watch someone come in, set up their tent, claim their space under a tree and then within a few days two or three more have joined to make a wee little supportive web to ensure safety.

Over the months I have walked through many of the parks with Danu and stopped and chatted with some of the amazing people who have been forced into this situation and shared stories, food, kind words and deep meaningful conversations.  These aren’t all addicts, drug users, ne’er do wells, they are people, a lot of regular people.  However, of late there are those (who I refer to as pinch faced, judgemental conservatives), who are ensconced in their large lavish houses and object to having to see tents when they go out for a daily perambulation.  Seriously?!

So there are petitions galore to “remove those people and send them somewhere else” and the words that flow out are ugly, mean, judgemental and unkind.  So the question that came to mind was – how do we help both groups of people.  Those who are currently in tents whilst the rain slices in from the East on 40km winds with no friggin Thanksgiving dinner to attend, nor a window to close and those who stand in judgement and toxicity?  

Our voices are certainly one way to help, but also taking the time to really see a person, talk to a person, use kind words and offer what support one can all help.  So today I am making little ham puffs and taking them out in the rain to share with anyone who wants one, with a smile, heart open and hands open.  So if you have any insights on how we can work with this paradigm shift and pandemic to create something better, stronger, more accepting and cohesive I would love to hear your suggestions.

On Friday, October 16th we have the Libra Super New Moon.  This is also the day that the glorious members of Creatrix Circle are all joining together for an opening ceremony to create sacred space and a circle of support, magick and trust.  I am piggly wiggly excited!!

As Forever shares:-  “Libra is all about balance, fairness, and justice, and these are qualities we are going to have to keep in mind under the intense energies this New Moon brings.

As this is a Super New Moon, we are going to feel the lunar energies strongly. Even though the sky will be dark on this night, we will feel the pull of the Moon, drawing us inward and into the deeper depths of our soul.

There is some dense, heated energy surrounding this Libra Super New Moon. It feels a little harsh but also oddly magical.

This New Moon may stir some troubles for us or bring some pain points to the surface of our heart. It may make us feel a little heavy or lethargic, and add to the confusion or uncertainty we may already be feeling.”

The New Moon calls for us to return to ourselves, to step out of shame and blame and to focus on giving back to ourselves. When we are “full of ourselves” then we can pour into others.

So gorgeous one, I hope you take time to really set some delicious intentions and New Moon wishes.  If you’ve never done them before, let me introduce you to the New Moon Bowl. It’s easy, powerful and quite magickal.

Okay, enough chuntering, when I went to the cards to see who wanted to guide and support this week, my heart swelled with delight.  The gorgeous guides of the Blessed Be Oracle came to join.  Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them:-

“May these cards and guides offer you ways to enter into deeper appreciation of your life and its manifold blessings.  May you have hope, understanding and kindness.  And most of all, may you know deep within your soul, that thou art blessed.”

The gorgeous autumnal leaves came to share their radiant reds and delightful crystals hopped into the mix as well!  

So take a moment and breathe yourself back into your body.  Allow your breath to find its own pattern and to gently slow down.  You have this moment.  Feet on the ground, head to the heavens and heart open.  As you breathe, invite in your wise self to guide you as you pick.  Then when you’re ready pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a peak shall we?

A BLESSING TO FIND THE TRUTH

A blessing to discover the truth in a situation, so you can make choices with full awareness.

A blessing on this time, and on you, so that the truth can be told, and thus pour down upon you its unique freedoms.  May you be blessed with knowing the truth of your own soul – and let the transformative powers of truth bring to you the light, so that what was once obscured now begins to shine, and what was uncertain now becomes defined, sure, glittering in its certainty.  

Let the blessings of truth be your liberty now, for with truth there is a growth of wings that lift you up and beyond the current burdens that have kept you grounded.  Let the speaking of the truth bring you comfort, let the open-hearted honesty of it cure any confusion, and let the conviction of your new knowledge bring you the rewards you are so dearly due.  Let those who know you, who hear you, be healed by the contact with the purity of your words and yourself – and let no one be in any doubt as to the worth of your words and the quality of your character.  There is no need to be anything except your own blessed, perfect, honest and open self.  Revealed to you now is the truth of others – their motives laid bare, without adornment or manipulation.

Let the lamp of truth shine into all that was dark and unknown, both within and without, and let the words you have longed to speak fall freely and without concern from your lips.  Truth shall bless you, and you shall bless others, when you show, by example, the glorious simplicity of living within the power of your own truth.  Live the truth of your soul – and may the souls that share the truth be blessed forever.

Blessed Be.

A BLESSING ON YOUR CREATIVITY

A blessing to stoke the fires of your creative soul, to bring to birth the dreams that lie in wait within you, a blessing to charge up your gifts so that they can be seen and shine within the world.

Creativity is a blessing given to us all – yours is as natural to you as your breathing.  It is said that some are more creative than others, but for you, this gift is lying in wait now, and it is for you to bring to it your deduction and attention so it can arise from its sleep and awaken into the world.  You have creative gifts – the gift of thinking in a new way, seeing things differently, telling a story through clay or wood or gems or words or paint, and in the telling of the story holding a mirror up to our existence, saying, see, this is the truth of who we are.

Creativity is the act of making something and letting it have life – to be a creator is to connect strongly with the Divine, for you bring forth into the world what was unseen until you imagined it.  It is both the harnessing of your imagination and your dedication, and with these two steeds you pull the dream from the unreal world into the natural world – and you delight us with the blessing that is your gift.  

So, if you are reading this and you have faltered on your creative journey, know that this blessing will help you set aside the chorus of doubt that sings within us all, to quieten the naysaying voice that dims your gift, and in the silence of inspiration you shall again begin to flow.

So, capture the fleeting gift when it comes, and know that when you do this, the world is made more beautiful.  Be creative, live creatively, shake off inertia and habit and make your whole life an art.  No age, no job, no relationship defines you – but it is the way in which you choose to live as art that will show us who you truly are.  

So wild soul, a blessing on your creativity – may you show us your gifts!

Blessed Be.  

A BLESSING FOR THE RIGHT WORDS

A blessing for apt speech, to call to your lips the right words that speak simply and clearly and find their mark.

May the words that fall from your lips be blessed, friend.  In times when we must speak of difficult things, it can be a great challenge to conjure up the words that best express our feelings and intent, without causing offence or harm to another.  We struggle sometimes with this balance, and in doing so, our words may be watered down, lost in the desire to appease, in the wish to do no harm.  But with this blessing, there will be words that come to find you, without effort, the words alight by the fires of inspiration, and they will flow from your mind to your mouth and be heard, fully and fairly.

May you be blessed this day with the speech of good sense, the conversation that clears and clarifies, and most of all, the words that will be heard by those who you need to understand and listen.  May you be blessed with the words that stir hearts, that make friends of minds that once were firm against yours.  May your words, like water, seep their way into the cracks of the stone and work their magick of transformation within.  

Your words are spells, and their magick can take time, but with the apt speech that you are blessed with, doors of understanding open up between you and others, and where you once fell silent, you will speak up.  Where you once faltered, and shied away from the difficult things that must be said, you will rise and flow through this challenge, and embrace the opportunity to give voice to the darkness.  Where once you let others speak, and heard only your own words in your mind, you will now hear them out in the world, and know you have used words as others use weapons – but it is not for battle, rather for courage, and understanding.  

May you find ways to cut through the falsehoods that others and their words can weave about you.  Let  your words be songs of praise as they flow from the gift of speech you have been blessed with.  May you no longer stay quiet, friend, for you have been blessed with the power of right speech, and it will serve you well each time you sing out your truth.

Blessed Be.  

Oh wow!  What delicious Blessings and so apt for this time, your truth, shining your light, and the right words.  Woosah!  So my delicious lovely I wish for you a glorious week filled with ease, effortlessness and flow – oh and gobs of laughter and nourishing food.  May your breath be long and your heart be light.  Sending you huge gratitude, hugs and squeezes.
