Spirit Library: Accept & Appreciate (a message from Kate Spreckley)
So far much of this year has held an unsettling and disturbing energy, which has made it difficult to find the calm within. Issues of uncertainty and self-doubt have clouded our ability to see a broader perspective of our life and the underlying purpose of what we are currently experiencing

Patheos / New Visions: Fidelity to the Journey
Confidence is not the swagger or certainty with which we convey what we know. It is the fidelity with which we listen to and relate to the irreducible foundation of all life. For there is a difference between how we carry what we know and how we know what we know.

Soul is that unconditioned, mysterious, untamed, undomesticated, unique individual wild core of ourselves which is inextricably connected to the mysteries of wild nature.

Claire Dunn: Nature’s Apprentice
Claire Dunn is a guide to the wilds inside and out, and her passion is nature-based human development. Since quitting her job campaigning for the Wilderness Society over a decade ago, she has travelled her own mystical path. She left the confines of the offices, shopping centres and other concrete boxes of modernity to discover something deeper, more instinctive. She spent a year in the bush, which she recounts in her memoir My Year Without Matches, and now runs re-wilding events and guides Vision Quests. Since settling back into city life, shes been writing a second memoir about re-wilding the urban soul.

Patheos-Pagan: Sigil for Health and Longevity of Electronic Devices
I am not in a position to be able to purchase the latest new thing every year, and even if I was, I am not the sort of person who would do that. I value my devices, and I want them to last and function well for as long as possible. This sigil for electronic devices was created to help bolster those efforts.

Inner Journey: PERCEPTION DEFINES OUR REALITY
“The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.”
— Henri Bergson
Our entire universe is energy — vibrating waves of pure potential. The electromagnetic vibrations of our consciousness interact with the energetic potential that exists everywhere as the life force to ‘collapse’ the waves and create matter. So the patternsof our minds create the form of our world.
By simply observing a form, we influence it. We in turn are influenced by others. This challenges us to be more aware of the quality of our being and the vibrations we transmit.
“There is no reality in the absence of observation.”
— The Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

A Note from the Universe
What if happiness didn’t have anything to do with what you have, what you do, or even where you’re headed, and arose entirely from what you chose to think about, yet nobody knew this?
And what if changing your thoughts, so that you could feel happier more often, would entirely change what you have, what you do, or even where you’re headed, yet nobody knew this either?
Do you think if we told them they’d choose to think differently every single time they ever felt sad or angry or powerless?
Thinking of you,
The Universe

Longevity
“Katharine: A light heart lives long.”
-William Shakespeare (1564-1616) Love’s Labour’s Lost, 1594
It’s no secret that stress takes its toll on us mentally, physically and emotionally. When we learn to handle stress more effectively, to lighten our load, or “lighten up,” then we feel better. Studies have shown that a good attitude goes a long way in increasing our longevity.
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: The World
You may not expect or even want it, but today you will be properly acknowledged and even honored for a skill, talent, or accomplishment. Your big heart will also be appreciated. Some sort of public reward is possible, if only in the form of praise, which can be transformed into something more tangible later. If not seeking validation or kudos, be on the alert because it’s coming. You’ve earned it!
