Celtic Tree Month of Ash

Posted on by
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Celtic Tree Month of Ash/ Nuin runs from Feb. 18-March 17

.

Plant Information:

The mighty ash tree can grow up to 130 feet in height and is found in Europe and North America. It is a member of the Olive family. This tree will stop growing when it reaches approximately 60 years old, it is believed that by that time the tree has obtained its full growth potential. Ash trees are easily recognized by their black buds, small springtime flower clusters, and the inch-long winged seeds that stay on the tree until autumn when they fly off like helicopters. The leaves of this tree grow in multiple oval leaflets and provide some nice orange to purple fall color.

Ash is a hardwood tree and its wood is strong, flexible shock resistant. It is for these reasons that it is used for making boat oars, ax handles, sports equipment, and wagon wheels. Ash was also a favorite of the ancient Celts who used it for spear shafts while the ancient Egyptians used ash wood for bows and arrows, and had great quantities of it imported.

Ash spears were considered a powerful magical tool of Celtic Shamans, even more so than the wand. It was a symbol of the Shaman’s strength of will and personal power.

Ash Lore:

The Celts associated the ash tree with the sea and the underwater kingdom of Tethys. It is also associated with the underworld and sacrificial deities, representing leading the soul into the afterlife. Celtic myth calls ash the tree of enchantment and it is said the Welsh Magus Gwydion made his wands from its wood. Druid wands were made of ash as are the pipestems of the sacred Lakota pipes.

This tree also appears in Norse myth as the world tree Yggdrasil, World Tree, or Cosmic Ash. This tree spans the universe. Roots deep into the earth and the heavens supported by its mighty branches. The ash tree was seen as spanning the world and the world within each person. The ancient Druid phrase ” Know yourself and you will know the world” pretty well sums it up. It also shows us how we are linked with the world around us.

In Magic

In Magic, the ash tree (wood, leaves, seeds) can be used in the following spells (charms, etc.), creative endeavors, protection, attracting things, love, healing, fertility, and transitions.

Charms of ash wood were used for protection against storms and drowning. It was also used as a love charm. You were to place an ash leaf in your left shoe and then you would be sure sure to meet your future spouse. Double leaves were lucky as were leaves with equal sections on both sides of the center leaf vein. However, you would be unlucky in love if the ash tree on your land didn’t grow seeds every year.

Magical tools were also created from this tree. Ash spears were considered a powerful magical tool of Celtic Shamans, even more so than the wand. It was a symbol of the Shaman’s strength of will and personal power. Wiccans and Pagans traditionally use it for making Besom handles.

As a magical name, Ash is perfect for a true warrior and leader, one who is comfortable with themselves and their abilities. It is generally thought of as a man’s name but could also be used for a strong woman.

Ash People

People born in the month of Ash tend to be ambitious but with an egotistical side. They also tend to be overachievers and need to be the best in everything they do. They do not care for criticism earned or not which makes them highly sensitive. On the upside, they are reliable, intelligent with artistic talent, and make faithful lovers. Ash people also seem to have a dual personality which makes it hard for others to understand their true nature and motives behind their actions.

February’s Full “Quickening” Moon: Feb. 12, 2025

Posted on by

February’s Full “Quickening” Moon

5:53 am PST/ 6:53 am MST/ 8:53 am EST

On Wednesday, February 12th we celebrate the “Quickening Moon”. Other names for this moon are the Trappers Moon, Budding Moon, Moon When Trees Pop, Ice Moon, Storm Moon, Hunger Moon, Horning Moon, Big Winter Moon. The first signs of spring are beginning to show, and you actually feel the earth waking up. The energy is dense and slow, it’s a time for new life and rebirth. At this time of year people are tired of being cooped up. They miss the light and warmth of the sun and like the sleeping plants find themselves reaching for a new beginning.

This moon is a good time for magical workings that involve focus on personal advancement and achievement. On a personal level work on plans for your future. What do you hope for and what dreams do you hold inside yourself? These are the things to consider as you set goals for yourself. The key is to be willing to accept responsibility for past mistakes and be mature enough to let them go and move on. Dare to dream and hope as you look into the future. To honor this moon try wearing colors in shades of blue and purples and adorn yourself with sacred stones like rose quartz, amethyst and earthy jaspers.

Blessings, Cat

These gifts are the Sacred Tools of Thought, Faith, and Action When we activate these gifts, it opens the door to our power as Creators. The goal is to plant your thought seeds (intentions) and nurture them to maturity through faith and action. If they are a little dusty clean them off and set them to work. Remember, manifestation begins with you, and as you work, do not forget to assist others as well, for the doors that open will keep the energy flowing. Stay focused on your goals and stay present, as this will help you to experience new perspectives and pathways.

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

Archangel Raziel can aid us in embracing our unique divine magic and the overall manifestation process.

Every day you must consciously choose the battles that you will fight so make the wisest choices you can, each choice will help lead you to discover new pieces to the puzzle and assist in your victory.”

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Bloodstone gives us the ability to adapt to the changes that are taking place more easily. It strengthens our intuition and promotes good decision making.

121:  In today’s society it seems that we have more responsibilities and things that require our energy, money and time. It’s easy to become overwhelmed which can cause us to be weighted down with worry and fear about everything from the future to finances. When we allow these things to take hold it overrides our ability to be optimistic and positive. Our angels are reminding us today of how powerful our thoughts really are. We are responsible for how our lives turn out and how we think, react and see things plays a BIG part in that. The angels know that we have it in us to accomplish great things so they asking us to do our best at keeping our thoughts aligned with our dreams and goals. They are always available to help us and all we need to do is ask. Have faith in the Universe and in yourself.

He assists us in detaching ourselves from both material things and things that no longer serve us. He teaches us that letting go is a form of simplifying your life.

Today’s Message: New Paths

120: There’s an old saying that goes ‘seeing is believing”. This is true to a certain extent. Today, our angels are asking us to believe in and have faith in the unseen. When we send our thoughts and intentions (seed thoughts) out into the universe we must have faith in what we cannot see and trust that things will work out in the best way possible. This requires us to be patient. While we wait we can help ourselves by holding our dreams and goals in an optimistic light and by using our current skills and talents or by investing in new skills that will help to create new opportunities. Remember that these skills will be necessary as these new paths open up before us. Your requests have been heard and the wheels are in motion so continue to work toward your dreams and goals because the energy that you send out is essential for the seed thoughts you have planted.

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

Archangel Sandalphon hears all requests and makes sure that they get to the Angel or Ascended Master who is best able to handle them. Ask him to help you clearly understand the information that you receive (his favorite mode of communication is music, and he is associated with the color turquoise!). Sandalphon also provides us with an emotional boost of courage. This is important as it helps us to make bold decisions that will help us on our path.

The Ascended Master El Morya can help if you have trouble staying present and focused in the now. He teaches us the importance of putting aside what we cannot control so that we are free to think about other things. He reminds us that it is our faith that keeps us grounded so that we can embrace both the patience and the clear decision making needed to make things happen.

The Hindu Goddess Devi helps us to find meaning in our lives and gently guides us in learning to follow our own inner wisdom. She says “Take my hand and let me guide you on your journey of self-discovery. You need only look within to find your true meaning. Release your cares to me and I will purify your heart and spirit so that new information can be sent to you. “

 Today’s Sacred Stones include

  Amber which bestows a positive mental state and helps us find balance, patience and aids in decision making. Use Amber to enhance your earth connection and to promote grounding. It is also a great healing stone (it’s actually tree resin) that helps to remove energetic impurities from the body.

Beryl teaches us how to fulfill our true potential. It helps us to see both sides of a situation, opportunity or problem and promotes strategic planning so that we can use it to our best advantage.

Kyanite is a spiritual stone that helps us to connect to our guides by opening the paths of communication. It also allows us to speak from the heart and to speak our truth as it cuts through the things that are keeping us from moving forward.

_____________________________

Today’s Message: Start Small

119: Our lives are a series endings and beginnings that evolve with each cycle. Each cycle brings opportunities and blessings that enable us to lead better and more fulfilling lives, and as always, we have choices. Today, the universe is asking us to reflect on what is happening in our lives. There is an old saying that goes, “When one door closes, another one opens.” What doors are closing or have closed? Embrace courage to end what doesn’t work or feel right and replace these things by beginning something new. Seek that ONE GOOD THING and use it to build in a new direction. Going with the flow will also help new doors to open, so don’t let small setbacks or obstacles stop you. By holding an optimistic light for ourselves and approaching each day with a sense adventure, we can navigate these revolving cycles with ease. Start with baby steps, acknowledge tiny miracles with a grateful heart, and don’t forget to spread goodwill to around you. These actions will make every day a victory!

 Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

Archangel Jophiel, the angel of illumination and wisdom, fills us with beautiful, loving thoughts and uplifting energy, helping us to create a fresh approach to life. Jophiel reminds us that goodness and beauty surround us all the time. By keeping ourselves to receiving these blessings, attract the things we need directly to us. This serves a reminder that slowing down activates our creative mind, making it easier to visualize and grasp these blessings. Taking the time to smell the roses” allows the attitude of gratitude flow more easily.

The Ascended Master Maitreya (Laughing Buddha) assists us in finding peace and harmony through laughter which provides us with a clear perspective and maintains our flow. He teaches that laughter is sacred and that when the heart is filled with joy, we are connected to the Divine. By centering your mind with the intention of enjoying yourself, you will find yourself present in the moment. Embrace what life has to offer and enjoy the journey!

The Welsh goddess Cordelia, a deity of nature, is typically associated with Spring. However, she appears today to remind us that every season possesses own unique beauty and healing energy. “Healing can be in nature. Allow the that surrounds you to renew spirit fill your soul with pure joy.”

Today’s Sacred Stones include: 

Use Carnelian for motivation and increased creativity. It teaches us to trust in ourselves and helps us find creative solutions to current issues as it boosts self-esteem and invites us to embrace our personal power while promoting positive life choices which enhance our ability to draw new forms of prosperity and abundance.

Nebula Stone. This energetically unique stone resembles the night sky. It allows you to see the value of the things around you and helps you to appreciate what you have while promoting gratitude toward yourself and others.

 Red Tiger’s Eye stimulates our sense of adventure. It enhances our motivation and practical thinking, while also promoting emotional control during times when we feel “frazzled.”

Today’s Message: Three Options

115: The new year, like any new cycle, brings new beginnings and opportunities for change. Remember that the key to embracing change lies in our perception of it and how we handle it. There are three options when it comes to change:

Fight it: Resisting change hinders our growth on emotional, mental, and spiritual and generates unnecessary stress, preventing us from reaching our desired dreams and goals. It exhausts us on all fronts, leaving us drained and vulnerable.

Ignore it: Change will happen anyway; however, we forfeit our control of the creation process and may end settling for less. If we follow this path, change blindsides, which can also cause stress, fear, and anxiety.

Work with it: This allows you to take an active role in the creation process. By embracing change, we can set things in motion, then allow them to unfold naturally and nudge them along as needed. This invites our creative energy forward, which aids our powers of perspective.

 Today, the Universe encourages us to embrace change and elevate our thinking. Remain focused on what is important your life and continue striving for a positive outcome. Adapt to the changes occurring and open the doors to new opportunities.

Allow these changes to inspire and encourage you to transcend your self-imposed limitations.”
