Mysterious Workings

Dark Moon

2010-03-12T16:02:00Z

Dark of the Moon - The Dark of the Moon (or Dark Moon) is traditionally the last three days of the

Lunar cycle, immediately preceding the New Moon, and the time when the night sky is notably

absent the presence of the Moon. George notes that: “The earliest peoples understood that the

power of life lay in the darkness of the moon.” “The purpose of the dark phase of any cycle is that

of transition between the death of the old and the birth of the new. The dark time is a time of

retreat, of healing, and of dreaming of the future.” i.e. the fallow times preceding outbursts of

creativity and growth.

“Most of us do not realize we all have many dark phase times in our lives, and that these are

naturally occurring periods in any life cycle. We fail to understand that endings are the

precursors to new beginnings; thus when our life rhythms move us into and through these dark

phases, we are ignorant of what is actually happening.” It is the grandeur of Death and Rebirth,

not merely an ending with the proverbial ride off into the sunset.

“The dark phase of the cyclical process is a phase of healing and renewal rather than one of fear

and unknowing; a time of mystery, wisdom, and healing power -- all gifts of the Dark Moon

Goddess.”

“There is less energy available for outer activities and meeting the expectations of others,

because the purpose of the dark phase is for focusing on the inner dimensions of our bodies and

minds. If we can learn to attune ourselves to the natural rhythms of ebb and flow in our lives, we

can use the intrinsic function of the dark times for healing and renewal. When we resist this

inward motion in our psyche, then anxiety, stress, and fear are more likely to take hold of our

emotions.”

“The Triple Moon Goddess, in her new, full, and dark phases, was a model for the feminine

nature in her entirety as maiden, mother, and crone. In her original worship the Dark Goddess,

as the third aspect of this lunar trilogy, was honored, loved, and accepted for her wisdom and for

her mystery teachings of renewal.”
Spells: Healing, renewal, psychic spells. A good time to meditate on the inner self.

( Moon-free, twilight-free viewing time is the best time to observe the stars because the moon light and twilight will not interfere with observing these faint objects.)

The Awakening

2010-02-23T08:35:00Z

The Awakening

A time comes in your life when you finally get it .………... when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out - ENOUGH! Enough fighting and crying, or struggling to hold on. And, like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum, your sobs begin to subside, you shudder once or twice, you blink back your tears, and begin to look at the world through new eyes. This is your awakening.

You realize it's time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change…..... or for happiness, safety and security to come galloping over the next horizon. You come to terms with the fact that no one is really Prince Charming or Cinderella, and that in the real world there aren't always fairy tale endings (or beginnings for that matter), and that any guarantee of "happily ever after" must begin with you ... and in the process, a sense of serenity is born of acceptance.

You awaken to the fact that you are not perfect, and that not everyone will always love, appreciate or approve of who or what you are ……... and that's OK. They are entitled to their own views and opinions. And you learn the importance of loving and championing yourself ……... and in the process, a sense of new found confidence is born of self-approval.

You stop complaining and blaming other people for the things they did to you (or didn't do for you), and you learn that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected.

You learn that people don't always say what they mean, or mean what they say, and that not everyone will always be there for you, and that it's not always about you. So, you learn to stand on your own, and to take care of yourself …..... and in the process, a sense of safety and security is born of self-reliance.

You stop judging and pointing fingers, and you begin to accept people as they are, and to overlook their shortcomings and human frailties ….. and in the process, a sense of peace and contentment is born of forgiveness.

You realize that much of the way you view yourself, and the world around you, is as a result of all the messages and opinions that have been ingrained into your psyche. And you begin to sift through all the junk you've been fed about how you should behave, how you should look, how much you should weigh, what you should wear, what you should do for a living, how much money you should make, what you should drive, how and where you should live, who you should marry, the importance of having and raising children, and what you owe your parents, family, and friends.

You learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view. And you begin reassessing and redefining who you are, and what you really stand for.

You learn the difference between wanting and needing, and you begin to discard the doctrines and values you've outgrown, or should never have bought into to begin with ….... and in the process, you learn to go with your instincts.

You learn that it is truly in giving that we receive. And that there is power and glory in creating and contributing, and you stop maneuvering through life merely as a "consumer" looking for your next fix.

You learn that principles such as honesty and integrity are not the outdated ideals of a bygone era, but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build a life.

You learn that you don't know everything, and that you can't teach a pig to sing.

You learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility, and the importance of setting boundaries, and learning to say NO.

You learn that the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry, and that martyrs get burned at the stake.

Then you learn about love. How to love, how much to give in love, when to stop giving, and when to walk away.

You learn to look at relationships as they really are, and not as you would want them to be.

You stop trying to control people, situations, and outcomes.

And you learn that alone does not mean lonely.

You also stop working so hard at putting your feelings aside, smoothing things over, and ignoring your needs.

You learn that feelings of entitlement are perfectly OK…..... and that it is your right to want things and to ask for the things you want ... and that sometimes it is necessary to make demands.

You come to the realization that you deserve to be treated with love, kindness, sensitivity, and respect, and you won't settle for less.

And you learn that your body really is your temple. And you begin to care for it and treat it with respect. You begin to eat a balanced diet, drink more water, and take more time to exercise.

You learn that being tired fuels doubt, fear, and uncertainty, and so you take more time to rest. And, just as food fuels the body, laughter fuels our soul. So you take more time to laugh and to play.

You learn that, for the most part, you get in life what you believe you deserve ... and that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You learn that anything worth achieving is worth working for and that wishing for something to happen is different from working toward making it happen. More importantly, you learn that in order to achieve success, you need direction, discipline, and perseverance.

You also learn that no one can do it all alone...and that it's OK to risk asking for help.

You learn the only thing you must truly fear is the greatest robber baron of all: FEAR itself. You learn to step right into and through your fears because you know that whatever happens, you can handle it, and to give in to fear, is to give away the right to live life on your own terms. And you learn to fight for your life and not to squander it living under a cloud of impending doom.

You learn that life isn't always fair, you don't always get what you think you deserve and that sometimes bad things happen to unsuspecting, good people. On these occasions you learn not to personalize things.

You learn that God isn't punishing you or failing to answer your prayers. It's just life happening.

And you learn to deal with evil in its most primal state - the ego.

You learn that negative feelings such as anger, envy, and resentment must be understood, and redirected, or they will suffocate the life out of you and poison the universe that surrounds you.

You learn to admit when you are wrong, and to build bridges instead of walls.

You learn to be thankful and to take comfort in many of the simple things we take for granted, things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about: a full refrigerator, clean running water, a soft warm bed, and a long hot shower.

Slowly, you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself, and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never, ever settle for less than your heart's desire.

And you hang a wind chime outside your window so you can listen to the wind.

And you make it a point to keep smiling, to keep trusting, and to stay open to every wonderful possibility.

Finally, with courage in your heart, and God by your side you take a stand, You take a deep breath, and you begin to design the life you want to live
as best you can.

This is what life is truly all about.

Imbolc

2010-01-29T11:23:56Z

Imbolc is a time to celebrate the goddess Brighid, and the end of winter.
What is the date for Imbolc 2010?

Answer:
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, Imbolc 2010 is on February 2. If you live below the equator, you're going to celebrate Imbolc on August 1. Unlike solstice and equinox celebrations, these dates do not change from year to year.
also known as: Candlemas, Imbolg, Imbolgc brigantia, Lupercus, Disting

IMBOLC: The earliest whisperings of Springtide are heard now as the Goddess nurtures Her Young Son. As a time of the year associated with beginning growth, Imbolc is an initiatory period for many. Here we plant the "seeds" of our hopes and dreams for the coming summer months.

One of the 4 major Sabbats, Imbolc, celebrates the banishing of Winter and welcomes the spring. At the time of Imbolc, the newborn Sun God is seen as a small child nursing from his Mother. Imbolc is a time to sweep away winter and nurture new beginnings.

The Sabbat also represents spiritual growth. Imbolc is a good time to get your life in order, wether mentally, physically, spiritually or emotionally. The name Imbolc is derived from the Gaelic and means "ewes milk" after the lactating sheep that are feeding their first born lambs of the new season this time of year.

Remember Who You Are

2010-01-19T22:03:00Z

We can't change other people. People change only when they want to...when someone says they will stop doing what they are to please you, chances are slim to none that they actually will.

People do what is important to them. What they perceive to be in their best self interest.....

Look at it this way...maybe they're doing you a favor now Do you really want to invest more of your time into someone who has no time for you? If they are placing everyone/thing before you, will you be content to always be in last place?

I doubt it...

Hey, your time matters too! Don't ever sell yourself short.
We all have busy lives and our time is valuable.....

It just may be true they have no free time for you at this time in their life...but why wait until they do?

Life has been going by so quickly lately I can't believe it's already January 19th!

Surround yourself with others who do make time for you....you don't have to drop out of the lives of those who don't have time for you now....just keep moving...things change constantly.

"Change is the only constant"

It's not just time someone can withhold from you..it can be anything.
I get alot of call about cheaters...will they stop? Maybe but...maybe not. They may for a while because they got caught THEY have to be the ones that want to. THEY have to see what their deceptions are doing to you...how they are hurting you.

Drug or alcohol abuse...same thing. THEY have to want to.

Suffering with an illness...(either physical or mental) is something you have to consider for yourself. There is help available yet again, they have to want to accept it. You can't change them....

Bottom line...do you really want to put your life on hold for anyone? What are you missing out on when you do ? Is it worth it?

What message is someone sending you about their view of you?
Are they keeping their promises? Are they making time for you? Are they getting the help they need? Are they there when you need someone?

Never let anyone decrease your value...YOU matter....and I promise you, there is someone out there who will let you know how important you are to them....
And it's well worth the wait.....

We have to accept others as they are...and we have to discover how or where they fit into our lives...or if they need to be in our lives. At times, the answer is no.

Letting go can be painful. For humans, we dislike change even when we realize it's in our best interests. We get comfortable and the routine is familiar to us even if it's detrimental.....

Imagine the adventure of change...even the small changes we make have an enormous effect on us....and those around us.

Remember who you are...

From The Other Side

2010-01-19T13:20:00Z

My oldest son went on a business call and gave the new client his card. The man said "I knew someone a long time ago with the last name _______ it's an unusual name but I'm sure you're not related...he was from NYC" (we're no where near there) He told of the place he worked with this man...my son said "Yeah, that's my Dad"

The client went on to tell stories about his Dad...his love of sailing, his favorite treat of diet pepsi and m&m's and how he was teased about that combo...and even told my son how his Dad and I met .....

And he remembered how excited his Dad was the day our son was born.....seeing his son for the first time is something he talked about often.

My son called me right after that meeting....asking questions and being so excited that he met someone who actually knew his Dad......(he crossed over in 1996)

I told him it was like his Dad was talking to him through this man......how amazing it was that he was actually working the day after Christmas and this man needed his help....

My son had just gotten engaged a few days earlier

It was an amazing holiday treat...

oh, and it was also my sons birthday!!

No one could ever make me believe this was "just a coincidence"

His Dad had given him a birthday present......and it was perfect....

When You Ask a Psychic a Question....

2010-01-06T09:13:00Z

Maybe some are new to talking with psychics or maybe they just don't understand how a psychic works.....If you ask a question....let the psychic answer it before you ask another question.

If you ask a general question, you'll get a general answer...that means I'll tell you all I see happening around what you asked about.

If you want to be more specific...that's great...but it means a lot of the same information will be repeated because it IS the same situation. and it didn't change in the last few seconds

Interrupting a psychic while they are answering your question doesn't stop the flow of information we are receiving......we have to stop...refocus and start over...

I'm not here to be screamed at, yelled at or told how to do my job....if I came to your work place and did the same what would you do? I think you'd walk away...

Try this:

Before you call make a list of what questions you want answered.

Let the psychic answer and take notes...

after the first question is answered and you're satisfied, move on to the next question.

Don't ask general questions if you want a specific answer

Please don't talk to us when we're talking/giving you a message...we can't hear what you're saying and you can't hear us...... we're giving you the message you asked for...

If you ask a question like "what is he thinking"

well, the answer you get is what he's thinking about....and it may not be you....

and you'll say "yes, that's happening in his life and so is that and that too but.....I really want to know about ____"

Great! Ask that question right away....first!

Talking is what we do ...that's why we're here....to answer your questions, guide you and help you....and I'm always willing to listen if that's what someone wants. ....

I personally try to get as much information to my clients as quickly as I can.

I hope this helps all of us ....at least a little

I have a great admiration for my clients and thank you ALL for allowing me to be a part of your journey......

Question:
I would just like some insight into my present situation...thank you

Reading:
What I'm sensing about your situation is a need for balance in some areas....I see something good coming out of a bad situation/circumstance. There is one around you of a different race/culture/background that is having an influence on this. I see a woman who may seem cold or distant but she has a steel trap mind and has had many.....difficult circumstances in her own life so she rules with her head more than her heart. A tough lady but...fair. I see you just hanging around waiting on something to happen before you make a move or decision.....I get strength in adversity around you too. An older man who has a big heart around you.....I'm seeing a happy family life and an increase in money flow....prosperity. and I see you being generous with others..giving of yourself. time, money etc... I see things being/becoming a traditional form...more inside the rules or like most do things . The church or spiritual setting or someone in this place will help guide you...getting back to basics....

I see you feeling burdened by something...let others help and don't try to carry the load yourself. Watch what you may say in haste...anger or off the cuff.....

I see the worst is behind you or really your fear of the worst happening being behind you.

Hope this helps...

Dancin In The Moonlight

New Years Eve Full Moon/Partial Eclipse/Blue Moon

2009-12-29T14:42:00Z

The last eclipse of 2009 occurs on New Year's Eve. This minor partial lunar eclipse takes place in Gemini, and is visible primarily from the Eastern Hemisphere . Greatest eclipse takes place at 19:23 UT when the eclipse magnitude will reach 0.0763.

Dec. 31, 2:13 p.m. EST -- Full Long Night Moon.
Nights are at their longest and darkest. The term Long Night Moon is a doubly appropriate name because the midwinter night is indeed long and the moon is above the horizon a long time. The midwinter full moon takes a high trajectory across the sky because it is opposite to the low Sun. This is the second time the moon turns full in a calendar month, so it is also popularly known as a "Blue Moon." Full moons occur on average each 29.53 days (the length of the synodic month), or 12.3683 times per year; so months containing two full moons occur on average every 2.72 years, or every 2 years plus 8 or 9 months. There will be a partial lunar eclipse that will be visible from Europe, Africa and Asia with this full moon. At its maximum 7.6-percent of the moon's diameter will become immersed in the Earth's dark umbral shadow.

Blue Moon is any time a single month has two full moons in it, the second is known as a Blue Moon.
This Moon is considered to be stronger than a regular full moon and is known as a Goal Moon.
It is time to set specific goals for yourself and review accomplishments and failures since the last one.

December 31 2009 has quite a lot going on....New Years Eve, Partial Eclipse and Blue Moon....

A Magickal Time......

Love Spells

2009-12-28T08:38:00Z

I'm asked often to perform a love spell for someone. I state on my site I will not do these spells but...people ask anyway. Or worse they claim I've placed on spell on them to force them to love me! lol Trust me, had I done so I would have Tommy Lee Jones all to myself

Maybe I should explain why i see this as unethical....and point out spell casting is not a large part of what witches do or what we are about....

First why love spells are harmful: Ok, you think you want someone....can be absolutely sure you want them but they're not interested in you the same way. You know you can make them happy....happier than they can ever imagine and no one else would ever love them like you do.

What goes around comes around....what we send out does return to us, for ill or for good.....and I'll take it further...I'm not wiccan but I do love this part of the wiccan rede "and it harm none, do what you will" it also tells of the law of three...anything we put out comes back to us three fold...again, for good or bad.....

Harming none also means not harming ourselves...each thing we do we must look to see what harm it may cause others. Are you willing to cut off another's freedom of choice? It's a binding spell actually...you are binding that person to you...and you'll have to understand that when you want it to be over (and it's likely you will at some point) you'll ask for another spell to make this person go away! What you thought was so charming may be so annoying you can't stand to be in the same room as the one you once loved so desperately.....
Spell casting takes a lot of work for most.....the moon phase has to be in the right phase, all the ingredients have to be found.....the setting up of the working is quite detailed and then the spell casting takes place which is quite another time consuming (and emotional) investment)

And what about the law of three or what goes around comes around or karma? The same thing will happen to you...someone you have no interest in will force you to love them......bind you to them....

Is this really what you want?

If you're looking for love...love yourself. You will draw others to you with what you send out. No spell work necessary. Love others and love will return to you ...see yourself as loved and you will be.....

The best thing I've found that works for finding love? Stop looking for it...it finds you when you least expect it. Live your life fully as you ARE complete as you are. You need nothing to complete you.......enjoy each person, relationship that comes into your life ....don't worry about if this will be the one......

Live your life in this moment....enjoy every second. Live as if you already have whatever it is you're looking for or feel you are missing.
It is already there.....

Another Psychic Experience

2009-12-23T11:57:00Z

I love amusement parks..I'm still a big kid in that area.

In 2004 I bought a family pass to the amusement park close by. It opened in March and we went often. Problem was there was one ride I really wanted to ride and it was not working each time we were there. I preferred to go on week days since it wasn't so crowded so on a Monday morning in June we got ready to go. I had my youngest son and a couple of his friends to go with us.

As excited as I was something just didn't feel right. I brushed it off and we all got ready to go. I mean...it didn't seem like anything major. There was no pain in my body, no headache, my vision was fine....I had some strange feelings in my left leg and arm ..not unusual for me really since I've had fibromyalgia since the early '80's and am used to things just feeling weird ......

I told the kids I had to run to the doctors office and would be right back...the look of disappointment on their faces was heartbreaking. I assured them it wouldn't take long and we'd still go and stay until the park closed and watch the fireworks.

I went to an urgent care where no appointment was needed. When I told them my symptoms they took me aside and told me to go across the street to the hospital..they thought I was having a heart attack....(my question after thinking on this is why did they have me drive myself there? lol)

It wasn't far, just across the 4 lane highway...and I began to get a little disoriented..I made it there though. At the hospital emergency room they took me right in. All seemed to be happening so fast! My heart was fine.....

One doctor on duty ordered a ct scan on my head...and that's when they found the aneurysm...a blueberry size aneurysm that they feared would burst at any time.

I made the calls I had to make and found someone to watch the children. I was transported to another hospital where the surgery would be performed. I was put in ICU and was not allowed to move, get out of bed...nothing.....any movement may cause the aneurysm to rupture.

It took until Friday for them to have a team together to perform the surgery. I was allowed visitors every few hours for 15 minutes at a time (family only and my youngest son was too young to be allowed in the ICU) My oldest son was flown in form Florida by my sister. All my family was near.....

I don't recall much ...The morning of the surgery I got to see all my family before being taken in to surgery...and the next week I remember nothing about

Each time I go to a doctor and give them my medical history they are all amazed..I shouldn't be here.....

But I am.....

Listening to my intuition has made a huge difference in my life....

It took a while to get back on my feet but.....I did. I'm to have an angiogram yearly to make sure all is well and the coiling in my brain is doing it's job My hair covers the scar from the top of my head to behind my ear....

Oh, I forgot to mention...I presented with no symptoms of an aneurysm.....they found it on the left side of my brain ...which controls the right side of the body. All I felt was on my left side....amazing really

And yes...I still go to amusement parks and scream and yell like a little kid..

I did have to wait until the next season to ride the ride I had been wanting to that day.
It was Great!!

We Must Sail....

"I find the great thing in this

world is not so much where

we stand,

as in what direction we are

moving:

To reach the port of heaven,

we must sail sometimes

with the wind

and sometimes against it,

but we must sail,

and not drift,

nor lie at anchor"

LYRICS:

Chorus:
Enter the night and you'll find the light,
That will carry you to your dreams.
Enter the night, let your spirit take flight,
In the field of infinite possibilities

On the longest night we search for the light,
And we find it deep within.
Open your eyes to embrace what is wise,
And see the light of your own soul shining.

(Chorus)
Wrap up in the cloak of starry darkness my child,
And you'll find the center of all things.
For from this space of the deepest dark place,
Life Eternal does spring.

(Chorus)
So when you find that spark
When you dream in the dark,
Hold it close to your heart and know.
All that you see is all that can be
When you give birth to the dreams of your soul.

(Chorus)
