Light In The Dark: Cat’s Angel Message for September 14, 2019

September’s Theme:  Why are we here is a question that we often ask ourselves, and this month we will be exploring our purpose.


One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. – Carl Jung


914:  Like any good friend the Universe and it’s helpers are always here to help us.  We can ask any questions and make any request. This starts the ball rolling and when we do our part by adding our energy to that of our divine friends things begin to happen.  The key is in remembering that the wheels are always turning and the assistance we need is always there. Today we are being asked to maintain a positive focus on our goals and to have faith particularly in the areas that are most important to us and that we are currently working on.   Remember to have patience as sometimes things don’t move as quickly as we would like. Divine Right Timing always plays a part and when we are ready on all levels things will naturally fall into place.


    • Archangel Jeremiel guides us in learning from our prior experiences so that we are better equipped in the choices that we make. He can help you see everything that you have accomplished recently as well as the areas that need attention and helps us to let go of what we no longer need. He teaches us that by taking inventory of our lives we gain a clear perspective of where we are on our path, which in turn helps us to make positive life changes. He removes our fear of change and what the future holds and replaces them with a sense of expectant excitement.

 

  • Ascended Master Solomon helps us to take what we are given and make the most of it. He teaches us how to do things more efficiently as he guides us through difficult situations. Focus and efficiency help us in our quest for personal evolution and help create the necessary stepping stones we need to move ahead.

 

 

  • The Babylonian goddess Ishtar provides light so that we can see our way clearly. She helps to drive away fear and negative thoughts. “Stay focused on what you want. This focus will shine like a beacon and hold the darkness at bay.”

 

 


Our Sacred Stones for today include:

  •  Azurite increases our ability to receive spiritual guidance and helps us to see through illusions so that we can see our path clearly.
  • Citrine is a  happy, sunny crystal which draws abundance and brings our self confidence forward. It promotes the optimistic mindset necessary to activate the manifestation process and nudges us into action. We can also use Citrine to help us sift through information and analyze situations so that we can move forward with positive intent. Citrine also helps us go with the flow and encourages us to explore all options so that we can make the best decisions for our journey.
  • Galena helps us to stay grounded and centered. It helps to open the mind as it dissolves self-limiting thoughts from our past that can get in our way during the manifestation process.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

September Full ” Harvest” Moon 9-13-19

Sept Moon

September Full ” Harvest” Moon

Friday, September 13/ Saturday, September 14,, 2019

9:32 pm PST / 10:32 pm MST /12:32 am EST

The Old Farmer’s Almanac calls this moon the Full Corn Moon however in the Pagan Traditions it is called the Harvest Moon.

Many of the Native American tribes’ staple foods, such as corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and rice, were ready for harvesting during this month. The strong light of the Harvest Moon allowed European farmers to work late into the night to harvest their crops which is where the name came from. This moon does not always occur in September and traditionally, the name goes to the full moon closest to the autumn equinox, the Harvest Moon sometimes happens in September and sometimes in October.

Other names for this moon are Chrysanthemum Moon (china), Nut Moon (Cherokee), Mulberry Moon (Choctaw), Singing Moon (Celtic), and Barley Moon (medieval English).

As Mother Earth begins her journey into the dark part of the year, the sun pulls away and we get that welcome autumn chill. September is a time of hearth and home as well as a time to acknowledge the things that we have accomplished since spring.

Now is also a great time to unclutter our homes and selves as we prepare to enter the season of introspection and if you are a  Kitchen Witch it’s a good time to reestablish your Hearth / Kitchen altar!

To get in the autumn mood and celebrate this month’s element of earth try wearing browns, greens, and other earthy colors.

Sacred Stones: Citrine, Peridot, Bloodstone

Sacred Herbs: Grains, Valerian, Witch Hazel

Deities: Hearth Goddesses, Demeter, Brighid, Vesta, Freya

Full moon blessings!

Cat

The Greek goddess Hestia watches over domesticity and the family, and was traditionally honored with the first offering at any sacrifice made in the home. On a public level, Hestia’s flame was never allowed to burn out. The local town hall served as a shrine for her—and any time a new settlement was formed, settlers would take a flame from their old village to the new one

MBG: Flower Power Alert: Here’s How To Dye Your Own Clothes Using Plants

When I was a student of herbalism, I learned that fabric had traditionally been dyed using the same plants that I was growing and cultivating. Needless to say, I started geeking out! When I dove into it further, I realized that compared to conventional dyes, which can be really harmful to water systems and loaded with chemicals, plant dyes are much better for the planet. Now, I run a clothing business and use plants to not only sustainably dye my fabrics—but to infuse them with naturally grounding energy.

Destiny

“Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven.”

-Confucius (550-478 B.C.)

To me this says that we are here on this earth at this particular time for a reason. We have kept our appointment. What we do with the time we have here is up to us. The rewards are not necessarily material, but much more valuable- our spiritual growth, the love and fulfillment we find and create for ourselves. We have choices in how we spend our time, and the lessons we learn along the way are our bounty.
-Lissa Coffey

I Am One: Cat’s Angel Message for September 13, 2019

September’s Theme:  Why are we here is a question that we often ask ourselves, and this month we will be exploring our purpose.


I am one with the Earth, with the Water, with the Fire, with the Air that I breathe, with all Living Things, and we are all one with Spirit. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie


913:  Today’s number corresponds to the Sacred Feminine, the goddess and intuition. Just like the Angels and the Ascended Masters the Sacred Feminine/ Goddess can also help us with our life’s journey. Her energy is warm and comforting and can be easily felt simply being outdoors. The Sacred Feminine/Goddess is assisting us today by sharing her loving energy. I know it doesn’t seem like it with all of the turmoil we are currently experiencing but to me her message is clear:

” I am saddened by the disregard and hate that humans have for each other and the world. I implore you to embrace each other as family always, and not just during times of hardship. I share my deep love for you in hopes that you will, in turn, share it with others and continue to do so.”

It’s through the Sacred Feminine/Goddess that we learn a more loving and nurturing way of doing things. It starts by loving ourselves and by embracing that love we are able to share it with others. This creates a healing and compassionate flow of energy which helps to create Unity and Community which is necessary for personal growth and the growth of mankind. Be confident in your ability to make a difference and let your light shine!


The Sacred Feminine/Goddess is the female aspect of Spirit and like Spirit, she is called by many names. The Ascended Master Mother Mary provides us with all forms of healing. She surrounds us with her gentle energy and helps to fill our hearts with love as she imparts feelings of peace and safety as she gently heals the dark, hidden places within while showing us the path that leads to compassion and forgiveness which are essential to healing ourselves and helping others. She helps to fill our hearts with peace and love and helps everyone regardless of path or religion. The Chinese Goddess Kuan Yin, who embodies compassion and mercy says, “You are a beautiful soul and have so much to offer. I can guide you on the path of self love and help you to embrace the confidence you need to free your mind, heart, and spirit. Be gentle on yourself. Joy comes from embracing the simple things which frees the energy needed to assist the creation process.” The Hindu Goddess Devi helps us to find meaning in our lives and gently guides us in learning to follow our own inner wisdom. Devi also helps those who want to help others and teaches us how to build better relationships with those around us. 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. “


Our Sacred Stones for the day include:

Inspirational Apatite helps us to be of service by encouraging us to be more open and at ease in social situations, as it promotes a humanitarian attitude.

Charoite is a stone of transformation. It helps to open our hearts to the concept of unconditional love and brings those energies forward. Charoite enhances our perception and helps to ground our spiritual nature into everyday reality and helps us to see ways we can be of service. This stone can be used to reduce stress and worry as it helps us to overcome fear

Rose Quartz is the stone of love and compassion that opens and heals the heart. It reminds us of the importance of loving ourselves unconditionally as it helps us do the same with others.


Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Inner Journey:

YOU KNOW THE WAY

“Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love … and to put its trust in life.”
— Joseph Conrad

How deeply do you trust your own guidance?

Always trust that you know what’s best for you. To move forward in your life, gather information from the “experts,” consider how their advice relates to your situation and then act only on what feels right for you. You are the only expert for your own life.

“I trust so much in the power of the heart and the soul; I know that the answer to what we need to do next is in our own hearts. All we have to do is listen, then take that one step further and trust what we hear. We will be taught what we need to learn.”
— Melody Beattie

“I never know what the next lesson is going to be, because we’re not supposed to know; we’re supposed to trust ourselves to discover it.”

Destiny

“Destiny’s bank is inexorable, all accounts must balance.”

-Dorothy Fuldheim, A Thousand Friends (1974)

How do accounts balance? It’s simple – what you put into it you get out of it. It’s just like the law of cause and effect. It’s a principle of nature – and that’s just the way it is. In Eastern philosophy, the accounts may not necessarily balance in one lifetime, but over many lifetimes. It’s looking at that big picture again. Life may not seem “fair” at one particular time – but it generally is when you look back over the long run.
-Lissa Coffey

Restlessness and boredom could slow you down and take you off on some unintended tangent. If you can’t break free of the usual routine today, do what’s necessary and perhaps schedule more delicate tasks for another time when it will be easier to be precise and attend to details. Know your own limits and if possible don’t take on something that will only frustrate you. If you must, start slow.

Contemplate: Cat’s Angel Message for September 12, 2019

September’s Theme:  Why are we here is a question that we often ask ourselves, and this month we will be exploring our purpose.


Take time to contemplate – away from the opinions and influence of others – what you really want and what you believe to be important in your life. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie


912: As we continue to work on our path and our purpose we are being urged to embrace fresh starts and look for new beginnings. Our lives change direction all the time so remember that when one door closes another will open. The Universe is also asking us to “Continue to make faith a part of your everyday spiritual routine. ” This is important as we enter Autumn, the season of contemplation and introspection. Start getting your game plan together as you turn your focus to new choices that will have an impact on your path and in your life. Stay focused and surround yourself with good vibes and optimistic energy as this will help to activate the manifestation process and draw good things your way.


Archangel Michael can help you commit to your beliefs, inspire motivation and help us to embrace our own self worth, which creates a strong base for faith. 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 Saint Germain helps us to get creative with problem solving and helps us to find our life purpose. He teaches us how to clear the way and free our minds from worry so that we can work on more important things. while his “big brother” energy surrounds us with loving protection. He can also help us when dealing with those well meaning people who try to push us away from our path. And the Greek goddess Hecate provides us with wisdom she says ” I am the guardian of the crossroads. Remember that to move ahead you must face your fears and release the past. Change and circumstance are inviting you to choose a path. It is your choice so make the one that is best for you.”


Our Sacred Stones for today include:

  • Use Agate for grounding and balancing our energies. It also helps by raising our consciousness to access our higher self and promoting the awareness and acceptance of who we are and where we want to go in life. It nurtures our spiritual growth and inner strength by helping us to get the most from our life experiences.
  • Aquamarine balance’s emotions that can become frayed during the change that new cycles create. It helps us to move forward and navigate the ebb and flow of life.
  • Green Calcite also helps to create harmony which allows us to dissolve rigid beliefs and outdated programming. It promotes mental balance, aids in communication and gently helps us to let go of the things that no longer serve us which helps us to draw the good things into our lives that encourage growth.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: Sept. 12, 2019 ” Fresh Perspective”

Happy

Today’s quote can sound a little scary. What it tells us is that in order for things to work out we must often examine how we see and think about things. Like everything else, our thoughts can become outdated and outgrown. So in order to grow, we must be willing to adopt new ways of doing, seeing, being and thinking. An open mind and a fresh perspective can help us to create the life we want.

MNN: How a turtle tunnel is saving lives in Wisconsin

There’s a stretch of Wisconsin State Highway 66 right around where it crosses the Plover River that has a reputation as a danger zone for wildlife. When animals try to cross the road, many of them don’t make it. In 2015 alone, 66 turtles were killed trying to cross the busy highway.

EarthSky News: Sunset and the legendary green flash

It’s not hard to see a green flash with the eye alone, when sky conditions are right, and when you’re looking toward a very clear and very distant horizon. That’s why those who live near an ocean tend to report green flashes most often. A sea horizon is the best place to see them.

Patheos-Pagan: How To Use Leaf Magic This Fall

Heathens, Pagans, and Witches; we’ll make magic out of just about anything. Especially when it comes to the natural world. I’ve read blog posts on sun magic, moon magic, bone magic. I own an entire book on Water Witchcraft. But I haven’t heard much about my favorite autumn practice, leaf magic.

Inner Journey: GO FOR WHAT YOU LOVE

“Follow your bliss.”
— Joseph Campbell

It’s hard for some of us to believe that the world is served when we seek our own happiness. We’ve been taught that this is selfish.

If we stop to reflect on how we are in the world when we are happy, we can see how this serves. We have more vitality. We’re more loving and generous to others when our own needs are met.

What activities bring you the greatest joy? Your unique gift to the world will be found in those pastimes you love the most.

How can you live your joy each day?

“Spiritual growth is not made in reaction against, for all striving against imposed restrictions is imaginary. Spiritual growth is accomplished by inclination toward. We grow like the sunflower, following the light.”
— Joy Houghton

Today’s Recipe:  Cheesy Chorizo and Apple Scramble

I made this up today when I realized I had next to nothing in the kitchen. Last week, the grocery store was giving away free tubes of chorizo. I rarely say no to free things, even when it’s something I don’t utilize too much. I always find chorizo to be a bit overpowering in spice and saltiness, so I thought evening it out with some chopped apple would aid it. It was perfect! The sweetness of the apple was a great balance for this breakfast treat. I added little squares of the last tortilla I had in the fridge to make it come together like a taco. It was so very good!

Destiny

“I am not afraid… I was born to do this.”

-Joan of Arc (1429)

“All I was doing was trying to get home from work.”

-Rosa Parks, on refusing to move to the back of the bus, televised interview (1985)

I had to put these two quotes together because both of these two women showed such courage. They both saw the “big picture” and understood their role in it. Although these events happened centuries apart, one could say that they were destined. Things could not have continued the way that they were going, and each of these women had a part in changing things. They could have backed down or shied away from it – but instead they chose to step up and be where they were, where they felt they were “supposed” to be.

-Lissa Coffey

Daily Tarot: The Empress

Be ambitious today, in a subtle way, and meet with a lot of cooperation and good will. Your ambition does not have to be grandiose. Concentrate on small projects and sweep away a lot of loose ends and complete things that have been long lingering. Act and speak with authority, and be fully respected. Do as much as you can today, and don’t look back.

Just Do It: Cat’s Angel Message for September 11, 2019

Just Do It: Cat’s Angel Message for September 11, 2019

September’s Theme:  Why are we here is a question that we often ask ourselves, and this month we will be exploring our purpose.


When in doubt, do it. – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.


911: The number 11 is a master number and today’s energy packs quite a punch. Since the number one indicates “new beginnings and taking action” these opportunities and the energy that pushes them toward us will be doubled. These things relate to all areas of our lives including path and purpose, and we are being reminded to stay focused on the things we want to create. Because of today’s energy things can manifest much quicker than normal. If you find yourself besieged by worry or doubt turn them over to the Goddess, Spirit or the Angels. Remember that you are worthy of these challenges and allow yourself to move forward and take action. Pay attention to any reoccurring thoughts and ideas and put the information that you receive to good use.


Archangel Raguel promotes feelings of empowerment and clarity when we feel conflicted about what to do next by providing a boost of energy and by bringing order to your thoughts. He empowers the underdog and also acts as a motivational coach when we feel down on ourselves and can help you to reach your full potential. 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. And the Hawaiian goddess Pele helps us in the setting and achieving of our goals by tapping into what we really want not just what sounds good. “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:

  • Black Banded Agate which helps us start new things, embrace new beginnings and projects.
  • Black Tourmaline helps remove negativity while it stimulates our sense of practical creativity that helps you meet your personal goals.
  • Blue-green Chrysocolla helps us during periods of change and challenging times. It brings smooth transitions and helps us to accept change with serenity and calm. It helps us to be more self aware and promotes self confidence that inspires both creativity and motivation.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: Sept. 11, 2019 “The Best remedy”

Happy Wednesday,

Sometimes a walk with Mother Nature is the best remedy.  When you get that cooped up feeling or feel like things are closing in on you try spending a little time outdoors. Sunshine is a wonderful mood booster, wind clears the mind and the senses, walking barefoot helps to ground your energy as does water.  Spending time outside will be perfect addition to your self care regimen.
