Bright blessings for a magickal new month!
The Celtic Tree Month of Vine or Muin runs from September 2nd to September 29th.

VINE LORE
The month of Vine is the bridge between the Autumn Equinox and the dark time of the year that begins at Samhain. Muin is an The Ogham word for this tree month is Muin which means highest of beauty and strongest of effort and the Irish word Muine means thicket.
Vine symbolizes emotion and sensuality and represents the clinging aspirations of artists and of poets. Vine refers to specifically to the Grape Vines but can also realte to any vine that produces fruit. In mythology, the grape vine is personified in the God Dionysus or Bacchus, who brought the art of wine making to mankind. Carvings of this god show him with an ivy wreath upon his head and his body covered with grapes and leaves. As such he resembles the Green Man of the Celtic traditions. In Pagan/Wiccan traditions the five pointed leaves are sacred to the Goddess as is the spiral growing pattern of the vines themselves.
__________________________
PLANT INFORMATION
Vine is not a tree but more like a shrub and is probably the oldest cultivated plant in the world. It is a long lived plant and scientists have found fossilized grape leaves that date back 40 million years! These vines have large lobed leaves and produce small whitish flowers, that in turn produce grapes. These vine can grow up to 115 feet in length and live to a recorded life span of 600 years. The stem of very old grape vines have been known to produce “planks” 15 inches wide when cut.
In healing, vine is known for it’s restorative and regenerative powers. It can help with fever, and the leaves and seeds were used to stop hemorrhaging, bleeding and inflammation. Grapes are rich in iron, and vitamins and provide an excellent source of instant energy. They are also a laxative and a diuretic. Blackberries were used by the ancient Greeks to treat gout. In England the leaves were used to treat burns while berries were used to treat bug bites, loose teeth and sore throats. The bark and roots are known for their astringent properties and are still used today.
__________________________
VINE IN MAGICK
Vine is female and is ruled by the moon. It can be used to promote prosperity, fertility, mental powers and can be used in garden magick. Ritual uses include celebrations, grounding and faery magick. Use the leaves of this plant to enhance your own goals and ambitions. Vine is also one of the nine sacred woods burned at Beltane as a symbol of joy.
Vines properties are as follows:
Blueberry: Spirituality, protection and dream magick Grape: Garden magick fertility, prosperity/money and binding Blackberry: Protection, healing and prosperity
To dream of grapes/blackberries is a sign of abundance, if the leaves are green then success is coming your way and if you are harvesting the berries your income will be a good one. To dream of walking through a vinyard fortells of prosperity.
Here is a recipe for Vine Moon Tea (good for use in Earth magic, sex magic, overcoming difficulties): 1 part blackberry 1 part dandelion splash of currant wine or Grape juice pinch of hibiscus (dutchie.org)

Our relationship to most living things is, and must be I think, a moral one not a practical one.
Beyond Words: A Conversation with Carl Safina
“Safina’s journey in ecology and conservation took him through his PhD and then back to the obvious. I learned this is called anthropomorphizing and you’re not supposed to do that. The orthodox view is that other animals don’t have human thoughts or emotions. I learned all of that and then realized that what I knew when I was seven was actually more accurate.” More in this interview with Safina.
Don’t let the enormity of all the facets of the environmental problem stop you. We can always do something. We can think about what well eat, who we will vote for, what we will buy, what groups we will support or join, what we will talk about, who we want to be in the world and the list can go on.

To make simple things complicated, you need to complicate your mind. You need to always think about what others think about you. You need to ruminate about your future—the more complex, the better.
We should fill our lives with stuff that we don’t need. We need to buy things that will pile up in our house in the future so that we will stress ourselves out to sort these when the time comes that we realize that they don’t matter to us entirely.

Discovery “Of all the discoveries which men need to make, the most important, at the present moment, is that of the self-forming power treasured up in themselves.”
-William Ellery Channing (1780-1842)
The word brings discovery to mind images of Christopher Columbus and Thomas Edison. Life is such a great frontier, with so many treasures “our there” for us to find. We can soar into space, we can break down DNA. And now, as always, we need to look within, to discover the wisdom and the power which is an inherent part of our being.

We’re all about the “aura” these days. The term comes from ancient Greek, meaning a breeze or breath. The concept we’re familiar with today was popularized by Charles Webster Leadbeater, a priest and mystic from the early 1900s. Today, the word aura is everywhere. You can see it in pop culture, and now there is even aura photography. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next generation grows up reading auras just like we read books.

Inner Journey: FINDING CONTENTMENT
“When the sun rises, I go to work. When the sun goes down, I take my rest. I dig the well from which I drink. I farm the soil which yields my food. I share creation. Kings can do no more.” — Chinese proverb
Do you sense the peace and contentment that can come from an appreciation of one’s place in the cosmos?
How do we get there with the complexities and pressures of our current lifestyles? Perhaps it’s a matter of becoming aware of what we truly have as opposed to what our egos believe we need. If we look closely, we may find that our ego ‘needs’ are just desires.
When you find yourself longing for something, stop and ask, “What is missing from my life? Is it a need? What are the essential qualities of what I seek? How can I experience that now?”

“Between cause and its so-called effect there falls, as it were, a cosmic shadow and out of this shadow man can accomplish a transfiguration of his own, participating, however minutely, in an act of universal creation, and something effective that no cause all alone and purely out of itself could have produced.”
-Laurens van der Post (1906-1996)
We are a created and we create. We have access to all the wisdom and power of the Universe. Our potential for creativity is unlimited. Opportunities abound! Are we awake to this? Are we actively participating in the process? Whether it’s “Carpe Diem” or “Go for it,” it is important to take action in our own causes and effects. Choose consciously.

The Grand Aventure: Cat’s Angel Message for August 27, 2020
August Theme: Positive focus and creative solutions help to draw both prosperity and abundance this month. You are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!
Welcome new things into your life and embrace the grand adventure! ~ Cat
827: Today we continue our quest to release any fearful and negative thinking that may be keeping us from moving forward, creating the life we want or from embracing prosperity and abundance. Ground, center and clear as this will help the release process. Take a deep breath and affirm ” I welcome prosperity and abundance in all forms and they flow into my life with ease. I am worthy of and ready to receive all the good things the Universe has in store for me and to move forward with a sense of adventure.” Call on the Universe for assistance and make use of the guidance that is offered. Remember that information and nudges can come from anywhere and the key is to keep yourself open to new information and scenarios. Most importantly take the necessary steps and corresponding actions if you feel compelled to do so!
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Michael helps to calm our fears as he guides us through issues of self doubt by clearing our energy field and quieting the internal chatter so that we can access the guidance being sent to us. He helps us to find our courage and our direction while giving us the strength that we need to choose wisely and make decisions on our own. Michael’s energy is easily felt particularly during times of stress and confusion and helps us when we feel lost or overwhelmed. He sets us on the path of commitment to our purpose by showing us how to work through obstacles that pop up as he teaches us that we have what it takes to create new things for ourselves as he helps us reach new levels of self confidence.
The Ascended Master Maitreya teaches us that laughter and joy are an essential part of self care and creates the positive energy we need to propel us forward. It helps us to let go stress and worry, which allows the light of faith and hope to shine through. The power of laughter clears and resets or energy field by releasing tension and emotions that have been held in check. This is an important lesson on our path, if it makes your heart sing then it’s the right direction.
The Hawaiian fire goddess Pele helps us to ignite our inner fire. This fire when channeled correctly helps to fuel our passions and sense of purpose. She is a goddess of empowerment teaches us about honest communication and how it aids our goal setting and getting. “Within you lives the sacred fire that gives life to your greatest dreams and passions. This part of you must be allowed to come forward, not smothered beneath fear, resentment or the expectations of others. Your fire will help you forge new paths!”
Our Sacred Stones for today include:
Purple Fluorite helps strengthen our intuitive powers as it helps dispel fixed ideas and thoughts and brings the rational thinking forward so that new information is easily accepted. It is a protective stone that draws away negative energy and stress. It cleans and re-energizes the aura and promotes overall harmony and order.
Lava Stone. This simple stone is a powerful symbol of our own energy and is connected to Pele. It is a stone of rebirth and helps us to burn away unneeded layers so we can initiate new growth.
Soft colored Lepidolite helps us by filtering away distractions and obsessive thinking so that we can focus on more important things. It soothes and heals stress and reminds us to just breathe.
