Today’s Message:Finding Adventure
525: Change is part of life. It doesn’t matter whether it happens naturally or if we initiate it ourselves there will always be a feeling of uncertainty that accompanies it. By having faith in ourselves and in the Universe we are able to meet change with feelings of excitement. We all want to be the best that we can be and in order to do that, we must be willing to move forward. Remember, changes are necessary for our overall growth (personal, mental, emotional, spiritual) and without it, we are stuck in the same place. Today the angels are reminding us that during periods of change both we and our loved ones are safe and cared for. When we need help and support they are just a thought away. Opening yourself to an adventure creates positive energy that draws good things our way. Welcome them!
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Gabriel helps us to access our inner wisdom and shows us how it can guide and inspire us. Gabriel also teaches us the importance of communication on all levels. This helps us to overcome our fears so that we can complete the things we start and achieve positive results during times of transformation and change.
The Ascended Master, Saint Padre Pio, keeps us on the path of spiritual and personal growth. As we continue to grow so do our abilities like intuition, compassion, and seeing through the eyes of love. His energy is strong and optimistic which helps to boost our faith and confidence.
The Hindu goddess Kali oversees the ending of cycles and transformations. Kali is a powerful lady and her energy is like a powerful storm that clears away what we no longer need and replaces it with a focus for new beginnings, and the courage and motivation we need to see things through. She tells us “Dreams must be created with focus and intent. I will help you to embrace the courage and motivation that you need to see things through to a successful conclusion.”
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
Turquoise helps us with creative problem solving and promotes both balance and intuition. It is aligned with the Throat Chakra and teaches us to speak up for ourselves and to speak our truth, which can be a valuable asset when working with gratitude and our ability to create. Turquoise helps to purify our energy and clears away negative energy. it aids our problem-solving skills and protects us against self-sabotaging thoughts and actions.
Red Tiger’s Eye stimulates our sense of adventure. It increases our motivation and practical thinking, as well as promotes emotional control during times when we feel ‘frazzled”.
Unakite. This green and pink stone helps us to see blocks that we have erected within ourselves and then provides valuable insights on removing them so that we can move forward. It helps us to appreciate the present moment and works with both base and heart chakras.
Blessings for a magickal day! Cat

For centuries, botanists have attempted to document the complexities of plant life by drawing realistic representations of them.

EarthSky News: Mars and Jupiter conjunction on May 29
If you’re an early riser, you have probably noticed the reddish planet Mars inching closer to bright Jupiter in the sky before dawn. The two planets are neighboring worlds in our solar system, though they are currently separated by about 350 million miles (560 million km) and an asteroid belt. Yet, on the dome of our sky, they’ll appear about the width of a full moon apart on May 29.

LIVE IN RELAXATION
“It would be glorious to see mankind at leisure for once. It is nothing but work, work, work.” — Henry David Thoreau
Is relaxation possible only when we’re not working? No. With awareness and practice, we can be relaxed no matter what we are doing. In fact, when we work in a relaxed state, our productivity increases as our effort decreases.
For true relaxation, we need to connect with our bodies — to consciously and intentionally become aware of tension and release it.
“Anxiety breaks a man’s backbone.” — Hebrew proverb

Friendship “The only way to have a friend is to be one.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Friendship is ours to give. It is a gift that multiplies when it comes back to us. Friends help us to be more of who we are, they help us to feel our connection to the world. With the support of friends we can achieve more, enjoy more, and appreciate more. And we can do the same for our friends! Friendship works both ways.

Today’s Message:Ask-Listen-Receive
524: Today is a reminder about paying attention to our personal guidance systems. This includes divine guidance and intuition, both of which can help immensely when working with change. Every day we receive guidance from the Universe and its helpers. Our job is to listen to the messages and use them to our benefit. This requires us to stay present and in the moment. if we lose that focus we wander off and miss out. If you have been working on creating positive change in your life this month the angels want you to know that you are definitely making progress. However, if you have been dragging your feet and struggling with these necessary changes then there is still time to make things happen and get on track. Remember that these messages can come from anywhere and at any time. The key is Ask-Listen-Receive, pay attention to what’s going on around you, and use your intuition to guide your actions.
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Gabriel helps us to access our inner wisdom and shows us how it can guide and inspire us. Gabriel also teaches us the importance of communication on all levels. This helps us to overcome our fears so that we can complete the things we start and achieve positive results during times of transformation and change.
The Ascended Master Vywamus encourages us to continuously and consciously seek inspiration through the discovery and rediscovery of our own natural abilities and talents. He teaches us that healing can be found in change. If something is holding you back he can teach you how to let it go or let it be so you can continue moving forward.
The Greek Goddess Artemis helps us to hone our intuitive skills so that we get the information we need without the unnecessary backwash. She teaches us how to trust in ourselves and honor our own wisdom. By following our inner guidance system we are setting ourselves on the path of authenticity and personal truth. Allow yourself to be a “huntress” like Artemis and track down your inner power. She tells us, “All the skills and knowledge you need for success lives within you. Your inner wisdom is a powerful thing and you know in your heart when something is good and right.”
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
Angelite helps us to connect to the angelic realms by enhancing our lines of communication. It is also a good stone for healers as it strengthens attunement and perception.
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.
Pietersite to help access our intuition and create a link to a loving level of guidance. It helps to strengthen the will and increases our focus on where we really want life to take us. It helps us to rid ourselves of negative energy and replaces it with calm.

Patheos-Pagan: Tips for Magical Beginners MAY 21, 2022 BY BRANDY WILLIAMS
I got to sit on a panel this week sharing tips for beginners, specifically new Witches but including anyone on the magical path. The panel was hosted by Krista Schwimmer and Michael Wamback of Sixth Sense Society.
“If we fail to nourish our souls, they wither, and without soul, life ceases to have meaning…. The creative process shrivels in the absence of continual dialogue with the soul. And creativity is what makes life worth living.” — Marion Woodman
Stress, fear, negativity, too much to do and doing things for others at the expense of our own needs — these all stifle our innate creativity. Relaxation, fun, meditation, and going after our dreams all get the creative juices flowing. Soul is always creative, always fresh and new.
How can you create more space in your life to allow the soul’s energy out to play?
“I learned… that inspiration does not come like a bolt, nor is it kinetic, energetic, striving, but it comes to us slowly and quietly and all the time, though we must regularly and every day give it a little chance to start flowing, prime it with a little solitude and idleness.” — Brenda Ueland
“I lived in solitude in the country and noticed how the monotony of quiet life stimulates the creative mind.” — Albert Einstein

Friendship “Those friends thou hast, and their adoptions tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel.”
-Shakespeare
One of the greatest gifts we are given in this lifetime is the gift of friendship. Our friends are our treasures! We learn so much from each other. Think about the first friend you ever had. Remember the joy you felt just hanging out and playing together? Chances are that the friends we had in childhood are different than the friends we have today. People change and grow and move away and go on to lead separate lives. But we remember those friends, and they remember us! We learned from them then, and are where we are now in part because of those friendships.

Today’s Message:Spiritual Nudges
522: Most of our work so far this month has been focused on personal change (mental and emotional). Today’s number, however, will focus on changes to our spiritual outlook. Positive choices, life lessons, courage, faith, insight, and Universal love are all key for today. It sounds like a lot but these things are what help shape our own unique brand of spirituality. When change arrives it brings many things including a change of perspective which flows into our being on all levels including the spiritual.

Archangel Jophiel reminds us that goodness and beauty surround us all the time. By keeping ourselves open to receiving these blessings it draws the things we need directly to us. She reminds us that slowing down activates our creative mind and makes these things easier to visualize and grasp as it enhances and brings forward our spiritual nature.

Life is created from things both good and not so good. Each event has a lesson that we can learn from. Do your homework! ~Cat
_____________________________
Today’s Message:Some Good, Some Bad
521: We have all heard the New-Agey sentiment about expecting the best from others and from life. While this is true to some extent the real truth is that sometimes the best doesn’t always happen. Today the Universe is reminding us that when we are faced with a negative turn of events or encounters all is not lost. If you look closely you can always find at least “one good thing” or lesson that came of it. It could be an idea to try something new or to take a new approach. It could be a new solution to an old problem or even the realization that it’s just time to move on to better things. Remember that there is always something that you can take away from any experience, good or bad, that will help you along your path of personal growth. Look for it because these things can be game-changing or even life-altering.
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Raguel sets us on the path to personal empowerment. He helps us to find our strength and promotes clarity when we feel conflicted about what to do next by providing a boost of energy and by bringing order to our thoughts. He empowers the underdog and also acts as a motivational coach when we feel down on ourselves and can help us to reach our full potential.
The Ascended Master Serapis Bey brings us the necessary spiritual insight we need when dealing with negative people, feelings, or situations. By surrounding yourself with loving energy you can find the peace you need to deal with off-color moments. He teaches us that loving self-care allows us the choice of removing ourselves from negative people and situations.
The Egyptian goddess Hathor helps us to find the answer to the question “How shall I live my life?” She tells us that every moment gives us opportunities for growth. ” When you are filled with indecision you move away from yourself and your power as a creator. Indecision silences your ability to hear your own inner wisdom. If you need my help just ask and I will shower you with energy that will tip the scales in the direction of what you desire.”
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
Chiastolite (aka Cross Stone or Andalusite) promotes the creative problem-solving process. It enables us to release things that are no longer relevant to our current path and dispels any guilt we may have when we leave things behind. It helps us to make the necessary changes and brings harmony to conflicts that arise when we blaze new trails that others were not expecting or able to control.
Heliodor (Golden Beryl). This warm, sunny stone helps us to find clarity and illumination as it eliminates the confusion of purpose.
Unakite. This green and pink stone helps us to see blocks that we have erected within ourselves and then provides valuable insights on removing them so that we can move forward. It helps us to appreciate and gain clarity from the present moment and works with both base and heart chakras.

Practice “Educate the heart – educate the heart.”
-Hiram Powers
We know, conclusively and scientifically now, thanks to Dr. Paul Pearsall, that the heart has intelligence. Our hearts can literally “think!” We can listen to our hearts, we can follow our hearts. The best way to become sensitive to the heart’s messages is through our spiritual practices. Take time to connect, to settle in and be peaceful. Allow your heart the time and space it needs to communicate! Rather than merely educating our hearts, which intuitively know what is best for us, spiritual practice is about educating ourselves to tune in to that intelligence

Daily Tarot:Temperance
Patience is your secret weapon to face down all obstacles today. Take your good old time to make sure you understand what needs to be done, for whom, why, and how. This methodical approach may not be your natural or favorite one, and it might annoy someone who has a different opinion of how urgent the issue is. Nonetheless, patience will get you through the day with fewer, if any, mishaps.

Today’s Message:Open Your Tool Box
520: This month is all about initiating change and welcoming new things into our lives. Both require the use of our sacred tool of faith. When we have faith in ourselves and in the Universe good things happen to us personally, and around us as well. Which in turn helps to generate a positive flow that draws more good things. I guess that you could call these things personal miracles. These miracles come in all shapes and sizes, so don’t overlook the small ones because they quite often have the biggest impact. The key is in remembering that even if you cannot immediately see the results that things are happening behind the scenes. Be patient and have faith in the knowledge that by working together with the Universe you can create new and wonderful things!
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Jophiel the angel of Illumination and wisdom, fills us with beautiful, loving thoughts and uplifting energy which helps us to create a fresh approach to life.

This is a reminder that slowing down activates our creative mind and makes these things easier to visualize and grasp and by taking the time to “smell the roses” the attitude of gratitude flows more easily.
The Ascended Master Kuthumi helps us to navigate the distractions of everyday life. He encourages us to focus on what’s important right now and to stop fighting the things that we have no control over, which blocks our problem-solving and creative flow.

The Babylonian goddess Ishtar helps us to navigate times of darkness and change. She shows us how to access our courage. She reminds us ” Times of struggle and darkness can be intimidating. and keep you rooted in fear. Remember to stay clear on what is truly important.

Gentle Seraphinite helps to clear the heart chakra and opens us to love on all levels. It is also used to review the progress that you have made in life and shows the changes that we need to make to best help us on our path. When used with meditation promotes spiritual enlightenment and self-healing.
