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. 💗

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.

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. »

How to join the Pagan faith?

Taken from Yahoo Answers »

I've been learning about and considering Paganism for a long time, and I think it's for me. How do I become a Pagan?
Rainbow-Starlight

Paganism refers to any of a wide array of spiritual/religious beliefs based on Pre-Christian non-centralized beliefs. If you want to be a pagan, you are one. There are specific initiatory rituals for Wicca, Asatru, and Kemetism, among others; all of which are pagan religions.

A pagan who is not a member of a specific organized "path" such as the above is referred to as an "eclectic pagan". Eclectic pagans are those who do not follow the beliefs of any other group or individual specifically, but instead create their own path based on what feels true, right, and natural to them, usually borrowing from the practices of many other religions.

If you are interested in practicing Wicca, which is probably the largest pagan religion, I suggest "Wicca: A Guide to the Solitary Practitioner" and "Living Wicca" both by Scott Cunningham, as well as all of the works of Gerald Gardner and Raymond Buckland. Some of the books written by Silver Ravenwolf might also be helpful to you.

For more information, answers to questions, as well as lessons and articles on eclectic paganism as well as specific paths, a more dynamic resource is important, so I suggest the following message boards:

As to those who have answered this question with negative things to say, you have my pity. It must be difficult living with such a narrow and closed-minded world view.

May you find what you seek.

The Hallowe'en Truth: is Hello Kitty Evil?

Hello Kitty stickers (Photo credit: diwong)

Urban Dictionary describes Hello Kitty as a "Japanese mass-casualty weapon... Doctors warn that even low-level exposure may cause a perfectly sound mind to crack."

But is Hello Kitty truly evil?

There are plenty of conspiracies connected to the Hello Kitty phenomena. But that doesn't mean that the concept is one of evil.

This is the iconic white cat with the red bow, dots for eyes, and absent mouth that is mysteriously cute as hell to little girls.

The absence of a mouth makes her a little creepy. There are urban legends that state the mouth was left of because she was first drawn by a child suffering abuse, who wanted someone to confide in. There is also a legend that states she was drawn by a mother who's daughter was dying of cancer, and that the little white cat is a the result of a pack she made with the Devil to cure her daughter - the mouth was left off so the character could never spill the beans to anyone.

Hello Kitty Mentaiko? (Photo credit: jpellgen)

If either of these Urbanised tales are true, then surely it would have been reported widely...


A little History on Kittty...

Hello Kitty first came into being in the 70′s when a then new company called Sanrio needed to come up with a merchandise mascot that would appeal to the pre-teen girl demographic. They commissioned an artist to work on the project and she came up with a drawing of a white Japanese Bobtail cat that had a red bow in it’s hair and was wearing blue overalls.

A whole back story for Hello Kitty was created, which is basically this: Hello Kitty is actually a nickname for Kitty White, who is not Japanese but actually British and lives in London with her family.

The Hello Kitty character was deliberately designed without a mouth so the lack of that visual cue made it easier for people to project their own feelings on to the cartoon character.
However...

Their is something fundamentally wrong with a mute character that pre-teen girls can project their own emotion onto with impunity.

If nothing else, this little symbol of girlie cuteness has more of the Japanese Goth about it than British teen. It has seduced a world of females and has made its creators billionaires. (There are even theme parks and beauty products with the white bobtail cat's insignia on them.)

Hello Kitty has reached cult status with many fans - so now is close to becoming a religious icon. If someone truly sold their soul for this phenomena, it was quite a deal, and one that just keep on growing.

Is Hello Kitty Evil? Who knows?...

Personally, I can't stand the thing and find it completely creepy. But what do you think?

More Roots of Halloween (the Celtic Samhain)

As I said last week, the roots of Halloween can be found in the Celtic (Samain) Samhain.

For the Celts, this time of the (wheel of the) year was marked by the sun's passage into the underworld - thus allowing the forces of 'the underworld' to ascend.

Unfettered by the controlling the sun-god, Mog Ruith, the Lord of the Underworld, becomes able to walk the earth from Autumn to Winter, along with all the other creatures -of the dead- of his abode. (In Celtic mythology, the Lord of the Dead is often identified as Donn.)

Both Donn and Mog Ruith (the sun-god  are closely associated with Samhain. (Mog Ruith, as sun-god  sojourned at the realm of the underworld, the abode of Donn during this time of the year.)

The Celts were fascinated by their ancestors  causing a belief that at death they went to the house of their ancestor, the god of the underworld, Donn.

For the Celts, this was a time when fairies, goolies and all manner of other creatures and ghosts traveled abroad (walking the earth).

Their fires were lit in honor of the sun-god  Mog Ruith, and to keep the Lord of the Dead/Underworld at bay.

(Samhain is placed on the boundary between Summer and Winter, between the two halves of the year; giving it the unique status  to the Celts of being suspended in time. Belong to neither the old year nor the new. During the night of Samhain, life's natural order is thrown into chaos; the world of the living becoming entangled with the world of the dead.)

On this night, the unwary Celtic traveler  would expect to encounter creatures of the dead. (Back then, it was advisable to refrain from going out at night.) Ghosts were everywhere.

Lighting the bonfires marked the domestic celebration of the feast. Allowing the spirits of the ancestors back into the household.

The ancestral ghosts needed appeasement in the form of ritual offerings; to insure good luck through the following year. This is were the 'Trick or Treat' tradition of the modern Halloween originated. (Children dressed as the dwellers of the underworld - ghosts, witches, and monsters - visit homes with the hope of getting 'treats' or performing a 'trick' on the household's occupants - the equivalent of a dose of bad luck.)

The roots of Halloween can be found in the Celtic (Samain) Samhain

As millions of children and adults prepare to participate in the fun of Halloween, few are aware of its ancient Celtic roots in the Samhain (Samain) festival.

Halloween Costumes (Photo credit: Transguyjay)

In Celtic Ireland about 2,000 years ago, Samhain was the division of the year between summer (the lighter half of the year) and winter (the darker half if the year.

At Samhain the division between the other-world and this world is at its thinnest; allowing spirits to pass between the two.

The honoured family's ancestors were invited into the home. (Whilst warding-off harmful spirits.)
By wearing masks and costumes, the community disguised themselves as harmful spirits, in the hope of preventing being attacked by them.

The festivities would take place on the Eve of Samhain, as Halloween does today. The Samhain festival marked the end of the Celtic year and the beginning of the next one. (Halloween can be seen to the Celtic equivalent of New Year's Eve. This festival being the most important of the four Celtic Festivals: Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh and Samhain.)

A large part of the festivities surrounded bonfires and food: Household fires were extinguished and started again from the communal bonfire. The bones from the slaughtered livestock used to feed the community were cast into this bonfire.

Both the living and the dead were fed. Because the ancestors were in unable to eat their share, the less well off ritually ate for them.

Great numbers of Irish immigrants flocked to America during the Nineteenth Century (around the time of 1840's famine), taking with them their Halloween traditions. (Where it has become a crucial time of year; one of the USA's major holidays during modern times. The American harvest-time tradition of carving pumpkins has been embedded into these traditions.)

There is no doubt that that Halloween is loaded with symbolic significance from its Samhain past.

The lighting of these Winter Fires (bonfire) marked the sun's passage across the skies; and preceded its symbolic death in December. Fire being the sun's earthly counterpart, especially during the onset of winter.

Samhain? Is It Time To Talk About Ancestors Yet? « myvillagewitch

reblogged: Samhain? Is It Time To Talk About Ancestors Yet? « myvillagewitch:

'via Blog this'

Not quite? Not yet? Still a holy day to go before that one, you say?

Perhaps I should shorten my vision a bit.

We have been deeply…enmeshed in the process of creating a group of clergy for Mother Grove Goddess Temple. It’s has been scary and invigorating and silly and annoying. And very very good. This time next week, it’ll be a done deal since the rite of ordination occurs Friday night. At New Moon.

In some ways it seems a simple thing–a group of women who’ve been studying for over a year are capping off their studies with a ceremony. Like graduation or something.

And then I remember what this is. It’s the ordination of clergy in a Goddess temple.

A Goddess temple. In Asheville. A College of Celebrants in a…Goddess temple.

Then I gulp and rub my eyes and have to sit down for a minute because that part seems rather glorious and a little magical and filled with mystery and import.

And it is–on the one hand. We’re part of a rising movement across the globe–a movement that is sometimes called the Return of the Goddess or the Rise of the Great Mother. Each time I hear of a new temple starting out, my heart swells with joy and I feel the pull of past and future simultaneously, as though I stand on a hill and see forward and back. I feel the pull of the mythic past and the tug of a future that we weld together with fire and longing.

These are not only Temple priestesses but also clergy as the modern world understands that notion. Marrying and burying and everything in between. In fact, the week after this ordination, there’s a wedding to do. And I’m talking to old friends about a blessing for their grandson.

The pleasant ending of a year of work and exploration. A ceremony of transition for strong and wise women. A liminal place, a doorway through which they walk into a new and ancient world.

Excellent.

Metaphysics and Crystals - Chakras (part 1)

Chakra comes from the Sanskrit for wheel. They all spin at different speeds and in different directions. Though fixed in the central spinal column they are located on both the front and the back of the body, and work through it.

Metaphysics & Crystals (part 1)

So what is metaphysics?

Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that investigates principles of reality transcending those of any particular science.
