A Twin Fame Moment

Aftermath of Sagittarius moon of TFs ~ video reading results

Well it's nearly a week after the Sagittarius full moon. So how has it affected the Twin Flames and the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine energies?? ...

RAVEN
(DRUID ANIMAL ORACLE)
This represents the aftermath of the Sagittarius full moon.  The RAVEN is the protector, the one who represents initiation into the mysteries, but also death and rebirth.  So we are being warned that the changes ahead will affect a death of aspects of the self (mainly ego) and the rebirth of the correct feminine or masculine energies to replace it.  We are being advised that things may seem like they are ending in some ways, but not to panic as they are really only beginning a new cycle.  Change is the ever present stock of the Universe ~ get used to it. lol.

So how is this going to affect the Twin flames?  I'll first look at the cards for the Divine Masculines (The Star and the Chariot) then I'll move on to the Divine Feminines (Green Tara and the Great Bear)...

Reading 14-6-17

17 THE STAR

(THOTH TAROT)

The STAR offers you DMs a little light at the end of the tunnel.  Unfortunately, it's you yourself!  You're your own light... which basically means you might feel you're in total darkness, but you have your own light, your own strength to get you through.   We know this can be a very difficult task, but you can manage it.

Usually, the STAR indicates that all your wishes are coming true ~ however, what you want and what the universe wants to give you are two totally different things. The gift you're been offered is that of balance ~ an understanding of your growing divine famine energies ~ which isn't as disturbing as you think it is.  Accept the gift and start moving into your DF balance.  If you resist right now you will find it even harder, because the Universe will persist until you do accept; so just accept your fate guys!

7 CHARIOT

(PAGAN TAROT)

On to the underlying influence on you DMs. Well, the CHARIOT offers movement ~ however, you DMs are in a very reluctant mood, so it's going to feel like you're in a traffic jam, or almost broken down by the side of the road.  Cus that movement just ain't being picked up ~ you need to start accepting your fate guys, it get's harder if you keep resisting.

So lets move on to the Divine Feminines and what's going down with them: 

GREEN TARA

(GODDESS GUIDANCE ORACLE CARDS)

Now DFs, GREEN TARA (pronounced TAIR~uh) offers you rapid understanding of you relationship.  Her name (Tara) mean's Star in Sanskrit.  So you too are reminded you must light your own way and keep that inner light shining.  It may seem difficult with your TFs being so difficult right now, but things should change soon ...  Hopefully. 

This Goddess offers you all advice. It's the advice of seeking advice... 

"Ask other (including me) to help you, instead of trying to do everything by yourself."

The more we seek help from those who understand our situation (both Goddesses and your fellow DFs) the more you don't feel alone in your plight ~ you'd be amazed at just how many others are also as confused as you are.  Together we can help each other. 

Ask of this Goddess and she will assist you both rapidly and with an understanding of both the situation at hand and the relationship as a whole.  Her assistance is assured DFs, it's in the cards ~ she wants you to delegate your worries by asking for help from all quarters.

20 GREAT BEAR 

(WILD WOOD TAROT)

The underlying effects is shown in the GREAT BEAR card.  This is decision time; but you are being told to make decisions about what advice you need, who you ask for that advice.  But also you will have to make a few judgements about yourself ~ like what advice and so on ~ and judging yourself is the hardest thing anyone can be asked to do.  Yet you must look at yourself and make some very difficult judgements about what you really want, how you will work though these blockages, and about your own ego ~ is it getting in your own way?

There you have it for now.  I've been asked a couple of times this last week if I'm a TF councillor ~ the answer is not at all.  I'm simply a guy trying to make sense of all this, just like you are.  I just consult with the universe using my tarots to gain a few answers, and then share them.  So it's totally up to you if you take my advice or leave it.  Hopefully, it's useful to a few of you.  If so i'd love to hear your comments.


We'll have to see what next week brings. 💗

Loves Dream - love poem

"Love's Dream"

I sent a dream to you last night 
From the end of the world!
You should be so happy... 
You should be so glad ....
So why are you so lonely??

You're always out there
Running ...
And I see that lost look
In your eyes
~ Confusion!

When you get so sick of trying...
Hold on tight to your dreams
You shine a little love
On my life
And let me see

Though you ride on the
Wheels of tomorrow,
You still wander the
Fields of your sorrow!
And I wonder ...

Yes I wonder ...
Is the way
Life's meant to be??!
But what I see is so much
More than I can say ...

I see you in midnight blue
And as you stand there
Under the stary sky's
You feel sad inside....
But I see love in her eyes!

So ...I count the words
I'm never gonna say...
Time had stopped...
In a lonely world
~ such a lonely world!

No pictures on an empty wall...
Nobody there, no one at all!
Just echoes in ivory halls.
Time stood still
Just when I was thinking of her,

She came along
And made me want her ...
Stepped out of dream
Believing​ everything was gone...
Return with what you know~

It's a long time to be gone.
Time just goes on and on...
One day you're a hero,
Next day you're a clown.
There's nothing that's in between...

You left your mind out
Somewhere down the road
And I gave you time
To steal my mind
Away from me ...

Whole of Romeo and Juliet in song form - James Corden

Funny and lovely at the same time.

The whole of Romeo and Juliet in song form

. This is the most modern and wonderful take of the classic star-crossed lovers story ...

Tarot READING for 9-6-17 STRAWBERRY Full Moon in SAGITTARIUS

Using the Druid Animal Oracle cards

We have:

* an EARTH DRAGON in the position of impulse. * a SOW (reversed) in the influence position.* a DOG (reversed) in the affect spot.

All FULL MOONS 
Have very feminine energy. So expect your emotions to be heightened. Remember SAGITTARIUS represents morals and truth, so be aware of how it affects you perceive the world, and those around you.


The EARTH DRAGON 
Represents power, potential, and riches. Positioned in Impulses, we see that she is a bestower of the secrets, a helper in the direction to go next. She's the Guardian of the treasure house ~ your treasure house ~ this is the secrets in your own heart.

You have to think of her as an aspect of yourself; you are the Guardian to your own treasure House of understanding your own potentials. It's time to unlock thise potential and see the beautiful souls around you.


The SOW 
Represents generosity, nourishment, and discovery. But in the reverse discovery becomes ignorance; it's this that will be influencing you in the near future. So don't take anything on face value.

Watch those perceptions: It would be wisest to reassess everything ~ especially your own opinions ~ right now. Things may not be as they first appear.


The DOG
Represents guidance, protection, and loyalty. In the reverse the dog affects the shadow effect of guidance and loyalty; make sure disloyalty isn't misguiding you from your path. This is the time for selflessness understanding and being steadfast.

It could also, that those around you are not showing you the loyalty that you believe they should. Don't be misguided by your thoughts; be guided by your heart, and your instincts, for then you are less likely to make mistakes.

It sure looks like this will be a time that you won't be able to tell what is real and what is of your own making. So watch out for snap judgements, because, more likely will be wrong. With truth and morals being at a heightened point of your perception, it will be difficult to define what is truth and what is moral obligation. How we see the world may be turned on its head. So try to stay centered and think thing out before making decisions.

Difference in Soulmates & Twin Flames - Twin Flame Continuum reading (7-6-17)

So, it's the 7th June 2017 and I've just finished my video reading for the Twin Flame Continuum... There seems to be a lot of DMs bolting, and it's causing mayhem for the DFs. All that Divine energy is really going crazy at the moment. . .

A short word about the TF continuum: Don't think that this is going to be easy, it isn't. You are in a battle with yourself to right your own energies. No one else can do this for you ~ this is your battle, and you will have to win if you want to move to the next level. But to win you need to loose; loose the ego, loose who you actually believe you are. Lets say you're a DM (Divine Masculine), which means you have an over abundance of masculine energy (Doesn't necessarily mean you are a male, you could be a female with an over abundance of masculine energy) and low feminine energy. But you still have both energies. The idea is for you to balance your masculine and feminine energies, so that neither is dominant. That's when you have undergone ego death and are able to connect into your emotions without panicking all the time, then you will be ready to elevate your consciousness to the point that divine union can take place. In the same way, DFs have a similar task of balancing out their over abundance of feminine energy (and increasing their low masculine energy), so that your emotions don't get the better of you and you are able to view situations rationally (but not too rationally) with an open heart. The name of the game is balance! 


Without both individuals reaching balance, neither of you can elevate your consciousness into the right place for divine union. And without diving union you are stuck in the human form for a further lifetime.  So this balancing act is very important, if you don't want to have to repeat this all over again. It's a form of Divine Groundhog Day, where each lifetime you are giving the same challenges to defeat. The situations may change, and the people will definitely change around you from lifetime to lifetime (although they will still pop up somewhere in you life timeline, but not always playing the same characters. But your TF will still be your TF in all lifetimes, even if you don't get to meet them in each one. It's a game of roulette and you have to win to leave this physical plane. So it's time to get serious, people. 

Reading 7-6-17

STAG
(DRUID ANIMAL ORACLE)
This card represents the over all energies at the moment. The stag is a proud and independent creature. It's all about independence, and finding your own place in the Continuum. Whether you are a DM or DF, this is a card who's strength lies in its independence; this is the energy to draw on right now. Show your own independence from your TF, and sort out these energies yourself. The game is to balance your own energies.


0 FOOL 
(THOTH TAROT)
So the card that has appeared for the Divine Masculine energies for this week is the Fool. He is a journeyman ~ and this is the start of a journey into the divine feminine for every DM. But it's also the card of courage. So "man up" as they say. Stop spitting your dummy out and refusing to play, stop running and ending your relationships. This isn't man-cave time, it's not lets hibernate and hope it all goes away time; this is man-up time. You are gonna need all your courage to fight the urge to run!! This is the hardest thing you'll ever do in your life ~ fighting a grisly would be easier than the task you have.  

The fool is the archetype for the leap of faith. He steps off a cliff without a seconds thought ... never worrying if he'll survive or die. That is  pure bravery. You are going to have to , pus that masculine intellect and reasoning away and accept your fate; just take the leap into the unknown and learn to be more emotional, more gut instinct based. It's not easy, but you have courage on your side DMs ... Use it!!



ATHENA
(GODDESS GUIDANCE ORACLE CARDS)
So DFs, Athena calls for Inner Wisdom. She is a card of understanding and acting on your gut instincts. Wisdom is the call here, for it's time to stop worrying if you TF is in this relationship or not ~ of course they are, or they wouldn't be your TF ~ by definition that makes them in the relationship whether they run or stand still.

You cannot let your emotions cloud your inner wisdom, you have to accept that things will come right, and move on.

It's time to take back you power. You gave it up the moment that your TF appeared on the scene. That was the point that you let your feminine energy go back through the roof. Now you need to assert the power you created for yourself by re-balancing those energies once more. It's all about owning your own power and accepting that things will come right in the end. It's all you can do! 

IN SUMMARY
Twin Souls (flames) are complex and the reality is that you TF will cause you to drag all the negative energy back up to the surface. It's a good thing, because now you have to deal with it. But it's a very difficult thing to have to deal with. All that shit isn't nice to handle, and we tend to shy away from dealing with anything that unpleasant on principle. However, you're gonna have to deal with a hell of a lot of this stuff and so is your TF, so a little independence to take stock and work things through might not be as bad as it currently seems. Use this time wisely!


There you have it for now. We'll have to see what next week brings. 💗

The After Effects of the Gemini Supermoon on Twin Flame Coninuum (31-5-17)

Well its a week after the Gemini supermoon. So how has it affected the Twin Flames and the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine energies?? Pretty strongly. There has been a lot of Divine Masculines running off and not wanting to cooperate, and it's really affected the Divine Feminines badly ...

DOG
(DRUID ANIMAL ORACLE)
This represents the aftereffects of the Gemini Supermoon. The Dog is the guardian of the underworld, it's the gatekeeper to the mysteries. But it also represents death and rebirth: the dualities. Where you have death, there is a form of rebirth. So we are being warned that the changes ahead are those that will create the death of aspects of the self (ego) and the rebirth of the correct energy to replace it. It represents partnerships and loyal loves/best friends ~ and your partner, your mirror soul should become more than your best, loyal friend, you should both become insuperable. That's because  you're been drawn together so magnetically.

Reading 31-5-17

3 EMPRESS 

(THOTH TAROT)

However there is some good news in the energy aftermath ... Although the DM's have been running, at some point they will have to return. And here's the thing, the DMs are gonna have to start accepting that they have DF energies too. In fact, those energy are going to start imposing and affecting the DMs quite a bit.

(On a side note, you males with DM energy, whether straight or gay, will have to accept that you have this feminine energy too, it'a all a matter of perspective. We all have both energies, so chill and accept it. Okay.)

8 JUSTICE

(PAGAN TAROT)

Back to the reading. Now because the DMs have found it hard to accept the changes, and that more feminine energy is building within them, they will need to reevaluate their own mechanisms for coping. They are going to have to throw away the whole rule book of what a DM is, and accept that there is gonna be more feeling, more emotions, more messing with their heads on who they really are. (This is what the DF has been doing for the last 20 years or more, and its not an easy process.)

So they will have to balance these male and female energies as best as they can until they balance themselves correctly before divine union.

ISOLT

(GODDESS GUIDANCE ORACLE CARDS)

Now DFs. We know that these MDs have been all over the place and you've had to cope with a lot of running, but it will get easier as time passes. We are dealing with a lot of feeling, and you should remember how difficult it was for you. So have some patience please,

To reassure you, let me say that you are not dealing with just another love of your life, this is the real deal. This is "The Love of Your Life". It's divine love, undying love. Or as it says on the card, 

"The love you have shared is eternal, regardless of the situation"

So, as you can see. Whether DMs runs or not, whether they fights it, whether they likes it or not, lol, they are in it for the long haul. 

Both Diving Masculine and Divine Feminine accepted a contract to come to earth, to take on human form, to learn and to understand what it is to be masculine and feminine ~ and to transmute that energy into knowledge to help the whole continuum. So in effect one couple balances, and it feeds all the other with divine information of how they too can reach the status of a single divine soul. Able to transcend the physical bonds and ascend. That is the goal for all TFs ~ to ascend as a single, combined soul and retake there place in the cosmic order.

10 THE WHEEL 

(WILD WOOD TAROT)

To help you get through this Gemini aftermath energy, the DFs are being told to expect a bumpy ride. it wont be easy. It won't happen over night. The seasons of the year may come into play, but eventually it will happen. But it won't be next week lol. There is both good and bad "luck" represented here. So expect it to be heaven one moment and ell the next. Love and loss. It may even seem like a war, but it isn't ~ love may be full of battles, but the real war is to win against the human ego.

There you have it for now. We'll have to see what next week brings. 💗

Twin Flames : - What are they?

What are twin flames I've been asked several times

It is believed that certain souls are halves of a divine soul. Twin flames are the two (twin) halves that come together as Divine Masculine (DM) and Divine Feminine (DM) to become the perfect balanced soul. A soul that ascends and doesn't have to reincarnate in the physical any more. It has connections to the higher self as that is your soul-self but it is much more. It's divine union that creates perfection in the none physical realm.

Love Hearts 

If you've ever looked at the familiar love heart "❤" you know it has no resemblance with the actual human heart. That is until you join two human hearts, then, oh then it becomes a very familiar symbol in deed.

The love heart we are so familiar with actually represents the soul heart or the twin flame continuum if two hearts in one soul. It's the joining of human with human to create a perfect soul. That is what love really is; two hearts as one divine soul ❤

Not an easy route

However they have to traverse there own individual issues, overcome ego, stop running from their true purpose, and find and unite with their twin. Only when they have balanced both their male and female energies and found understand in ascension, will they come together in divine union for the rest of eternity. It is at this point that they become one pure soul that can ascend. 

It isn't an easy journey by no means ... But then nothing worth having comes easily.

Gemini Supermoon Twin Flame Tarot Reading (23-05-17)

Ramadan Mubarak 2015

Front of the Quran
(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Ramadan Mubarak to all!

(Forgive my mistakes and stay blessed!)

Ramadan is a holy month for Islam - probably the holiest. It is a time when Muslims 'Sawm' (fast) for 30 days and nights. Sawm is considered the third (of 5) pillar of Islam and is believed to be the duty of all Muslims in good health and of age. (It was during Ramadan that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) received the final testament; the Qur'an is the last and final messenger to mankind.) Ramadan commemorates on the night of 'Laylat Al Qadr', the time that the Qur'an was revealed to Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).

Because it is observed by the luna calendar -and the cycle of the lunar calendar does not match the solar calendar- the dates of Ramadan shift by approximately 11 days each year. (This year that is June 18th.) Those exempt are: pregnant or menstruating women, the old or infirm, and children before the onset of puberty.

Christmas Sleighed

This time we will look at a Christmas and Yule to find a magical morsel.

Christmas celebrations are both a major festival and a public holiday in countries around the world, including many whose populations are mostly non-Christian. Countries such as Japan, where Christmas is popular despite there being only a small number of Christians, have adopted many of the secular aspects of Christmas, such as gift-giving, decorations and Christmas trees.

Pagan Truth:- The Green Santa - In the Beginning

The original Santa, or Saint Nicholas, was green and not red, as we portray him today. Not only that, but he had a totally different meaning to the Santa Claus we know today.

Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas and simply "Santa", is a figure with legendary, mythical, historical and folkloric origins who, in many western cultures, is said to bring gifts to the homes of the good children during the late evening and overnight hours of Christmas Eve, December 24. The modern figure was derived from the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas...

from Santa Claus page @ Wikipedia

The Santa we see in modern times only came about in the early 1950's, when Coca Cola had a problem with sales in some European countries. They adopted his image at the time for a couple of reasons: The first being Post war depression. But the main reason was Coca Cola was little known to Europeans, and the depression's effects made it harder.

Vintage Cocoa Cola Christmas Advert

One astute salesman (sent to Europe to help sales) -who happened to be studying children's stories- came across the legend of Saint Nicholas. (A character who willingly gave to children - to spread joy into their povity-stricken-lives.)

Deciding to use this fabled character in a world-wide marketing campaign, Coca Cola came up with a sales pitch to capture the market. They increased the sales of cola with a jolly fat man in a red and white suit, which perfectly matched their product colours, and instilled a feeling of joy (about a man like St. Nicholas who gave presents one day of each year to enrich their lives) even just for a while.

The Europeans ate up this American link to their own heritage seeing similarities to their own versions of St. Nicholas; especially as they didn't knowing this was created just to sell a product.

Spirit of Yule

It might be of surprise to realise that Santa's suit was originally green before Cocoa Cola changed it to their logo colours of red and white; and all just to push cola into the depressed European market. So strange, but really true.

Reblogged: « Christmas Pagan Origins »

Spirit of Yule

Few people realize that the origins of a form of Christmas was pagan and; celebrated in Europe long before anyone there had heard of Jesus Christ.

No one knows what day Jesus Christ was born on. From the biblical description, most historians believe that his birth probably occurred in September, approximately six months after Passover. One thing they agree on is that it is very unlikely that Jesus was born in December, since the bible records shepherds tending their sheep in the fields on that night. This is quite unlikely to have happened during a cold Judean winter.

So why do we celebrate Christ's birthday as Christmas, on December the 25th?

The answer lies in the pagan origins of Christmas. In ancient Babylon, the feast of the Son of Isis (Goddess of Nature) was celebrated on December 25. Raucous partying, gluttonous eating and drinking, and gift-giving were traditions of this feast.

In Rome, the Winter Solstice was celebrated many years before the birth of Christ. The Romans called their winter holiday Saturnalia, honouring Saturn, the God of Agriculture. In January, they observed the Kalends of January, which represented the triumph of life over death. This whole season was called Dies Natalis Invicti Solis, the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun. The festival season was marked by much merrymaking. It is in ancient Rome that the tradition of the Mummers was born. The Mummers were groups of costumed singers and dancers who travelled from house to house entertaining their neighbours. From this, the Christmas tradition of carolling was born.

In northern Europe, many other traditions that we now consider part of Christian worship were begun long before the participants had ever heard of Christ. The pagans of northern Europe celebrated the their own winter solstice, known as Yule. Yule was symbolic of the pagan Sun God, Mithras, being born, and was observed on the shortest day of the year. As the Sun God grew and matured, the days became longer and warmer. It was customary to light a candle to encourage Mithras, and the sun, to reappear next year.

Huge Yule logs were burned in honour of the sun. The word Yule itself means "wheel," the wheel being a pagan symbol for the sun. Mistletoe was considered a sacred plant, and the custom of kissing under the mistletoe began as a fertility ritual. Holly berries were thought to be a food of the gods.

The tree is the one symbol that unites almost all the northern European winter solstices. Live evergreen trees were often brought into homes during the harsh winters as a reminder to inhabitants that soon their crops would grow again. Evergreen boughs were sometimes carried as totems of good luck and were often present at weddings, representing fertility. The Druids used the tree as a religious symbol, holding their sacred ceremonies while surrounding and worshipping huge trees.

In 350, Pope Julius I declared that Christ's birth would be celebrated on December 25. There is little doubt that he was trying to make it as painless as possible for pagan Romans (who remained a majority at that time) to convert to Christianity. The new religion went down a bit easier, knowing that their feasts would not be taken away from them.

Christmas (Christ-Mass) as we know it today, most historians agree, began in Germany, though Catholics and Lutherans still disagree about which church celebrated it first. The earliest record of an evergreen being decorated in a Christian celebration was in 1521 in the Alsace region of Germany. A prominent Lutheran minister of the day cried blasphemy:

"Better that they should look to the true tree of life, Christ."

The controversy continues even today in some fundamentalist sects.

Pagan Truth: Thanksgiving Roots

The VuDooMan is in the House
When you need a little faith, turn to the VuDooMan

It is taught in American schools that the Pilgrims established Thanksgiving (to share their abundant harvest with local Wampanoag "People of the Dawn" Tribe).

« Most history books would like to convince us that Thanksgiving Day goes back to only Plymouth Rock in the 1600's. Plymouth Rock was not the first Thanksgiving Day though. (Ever wonder why Canada has a Thanksgiving Day also?) This pagan feast, honoring the agricultural gods, goes back thousands of years, in one form or another. »

Welby Wants the Mitre on Female Heads!

Rt Rev Justin Welby

This is a follow up article to:
Placing the Mitre on Female Heads?

Selby Calls For Women Bishopd

Back in July I did an article on Women Bishops. (For those of you who read it back then, or would rather not bother, I’ll quickly summarise.)

1. The previous Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowen Williams, urged the General Synod to resolve the issue over female bishops (an issue 36 years in the making).
2. Parliament voted on this issue and allowed it (123 in favour and 53 against). If the vote hadn’t been passed it would have been shelved until 2015!
3. When it comes to women in roles within the church, things get sticky. Anglicans (happy to have female priest) don’t wish for them to pursue leadership positions.
4. While, in the past, the Anglo-Catholic's have gone as far as saying one may as well ;“ordain a pork-pie”.
5. Dr Rowen put forward conditions to appease those “who continued to have theological reservations”.
6. However, their are concerns from senior women clergy (some prospective candidates for the roles of women bishops) who take offence at not merely been asked to step-aside but demanded by church law (due to clause 5(1)c).
7. Eventually, the vote was postponed until November.

The vote will take place at a special session of the Church’s General Synod in London next week.

The high-flying crusader for women bishops, Christina Rees, objects to clause 5(1)c. She has concerns that the discrimination of females and the further favouring of males over females bishops will moth only cause fundamental problems, it’ll down-play the roles of female bishops within the CofE.

The online campaign (organised by blogger “Church Mouse") Yes 2 Women Bishops) has attracted large support in recent days.

The Rt Rev Justin Welby (as chosen successor to Dr Rowan Williams)   last week that he is in favour of female bishops and is set to make a personal plea to traditionalists to “go forward" in a show of unity, in an attempt to end years of struggle for women within the Church of England for leadership
