Ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass.

There are two broad types of trees: deciduous and evergreen.
By far the most common is deciduous, which covers all trees that lose their leaves (or other foliage) for at least part of the year.

ThoughtCo: Magical Banishing Spells

In many traditions of Paganism, banishing is done to get rid of negative or unwanted energy, or even people who may be causing problems in our lives. While some traditions frown upon banishing as manipulative magic, on the theory that it impacts the free will of another, if your tradition has no prohibitions against such things, then there’s no reason you can’t do a banishing spell.

Daily Good: Biking with Butterflies

Imagine if you could see the world through the eyes of a butterfly. What would you notice? In this beautifully woven piece, Sara Dykman explores the life cycle of the monarch through recounting her 10,201-mile bicycle journey from Mexico to Canada and back, intimately acquainting herself with newly hatched caterpillars and milkweed-nibbling monarchs. “Though people would gasp each time I told them what I was doing, it was the monarchs who deserved applause. I was merely a cyclist, with maps and grocery stores and a staggering amount of hospitality shown to me, giving scale to the magnitude of the monarchs’ greatness.” Read on to learn more about this nature enthusiast’s close encounters and the intricate beauty of the monarch’s migration

When photographer Mike Yip saw a flash of white on Vancouver Island in British Columbia in late May, the bright movement looked familiar. It wasn’t the first time he had seen white ravens.
This time, the rare birds were two youngsters who were still with their parents. When he saw them again two weeks later, the birds were on their own.

Inner Journey:

LEARN FROM EXPERIENCE

“Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.”
— Aldous Huxley

What was your peak experience of this past week? What was your most challenging experience?

Stepping back to review your week can offer many insights. Normally we can’t see the forest for the trees. Now back away and see the whole forest. Review your week. Now write a short summary — whatever comes to mind for you. If action is required, plan how you will accomplish it in the next week.

“Ask the experienced rather than the learned.”
— Arabic proverb

“Experience is that marvellous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.”
— Franklin P. Jones

Fulfilling Your Dreams: Cat’s Angel Message for August 19, 2019

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!



You’re supposed to be using your gifts and fulfilling your dreams at every age. ~Victoria Moran




819:  The Universe provides us with everything that we need to make our lives happy and successful. however, it’s our job to pay attention and take advantage of what is offered to us. Remember that you have access to higher assistance as well as your own inner guidance system (use your gifts!). Extra momentum is gained when we do our best to keep things in a positive perspective and embrace the attitude of gratitude. By doing this we can manifest and create a better life for ourselves and our loved ones. Today the angels are reminding us to stay focused on our goals. This focus is essential because it broadens our outlook and helps to propel us forward into the life we want. Remember, we are all worthy of good things and by working together with the Universe we create a win-win situation!




Archangel Sandalphon delivers our prayers and requests to Spirit as well as the angels and ascended masters who are best suited to help us. His energy is gentle and very subtle and he speaks to us most often through music. 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 and 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 Greek goddess Artemis helps us to feel more comfortable accessing and listening to our inner guidance system. 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.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include:


Blue Quartz helps us to understand our spiritual nature, it also brings hope as it calms the mind and helps us to become more self-reliant. Together these things promote happiness and feelings of well being.


Blue Kyanite is associated with Artemis and can stimulate intuition as well as help you to connect to your spirit guides.


 Mookite (Jasper) helps us to be flexible during times of change and encourages us to embrace new experiences with an open sense of adventure.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: August 19, 2019 “Mistakes”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
Happy Monday,


Mistakes. While we make plenty of them during our lifetime, there are some that we just keep repeating. But the goal is to make things better and move on ……. right? In order to make things better and stop making the same mistakes, we must first learn from those mistakes. Never be afraid to admit making a mistake and never be afraid to take the steps to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

The Question Is: Cat’s Angel Message for August 18, 2019

The Question Is: Cat’s Angel Message for August 18, 2019


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!




The question is not what you look at, but what you see. – Henry David Thoreau




818:  An optimistic and creative mindset will help to generate new and wonderful things. But first we must let go and allow change to happen. The Universe is telling us today that a phase or cycle in our lives is coming to a close and it’s time to move on to the next level. Remember that when one door closes another opens. Your power of personal manifestation is moving quickly and the key will be in staying motivated and confident in your own ability to create for yourself. Don’t allow yourself to backslide into outdated or negative thought patterns if you want to keep the doors open and the roadways clear. The good things that are headed your way may send you in a new direction but one that will be worth it!




Archangel Zadkiel reminds us that change requires compassion, understanding and quite often the forgiveness of ourselves and others. This is essential to the letting go and the letting it be processes, as it allows our hearts and minds to make room and just breathe and helps us to embrace compassion which makes room for new growth.  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. Things flow easier when we are not struggling against the “what if’s and maybes”. If you are finding yourself stuck at a crossroads and are wondering which direction to go the Greek goddess Hecate can offer guidance to point you in the right direction. Some of Hecate’s lessons are tough but worth the effort. Her message is ” 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:


 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.


Tiger Iron, which is a combination of Jasper, Hematite and Tiger’s Eye, helps to promote change by opening space within and providing the energy to accomplish what’s needed by generating new and creative ways and ideas to make the changes easier.


Unakite which promotes rebirth and gently assists us in finding and releasing old things that are blocking our progress.

It Depends: Cat’s Angel Message for August 17, 2019


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!




Happiness depends upon ourselves. – Aristotle




817:  Our power of positive thought comes into play today as the Universe encourages us to celebrate our lives and the things we have to be grateful for. Doing so helps to propel us forward and aids our overall creation and manifestation process. Honesty and sincerity will be the keys to unlocking new doors along our path. Be ready to make the most of what will be offered, hesitation may cause you to miss out. Remember, whether the offerings are a new crop of tiny miracles or the whole enchilada it is our positive and creative mind that will help us to achieve our goals. Be grateful for what you have because you really do have so much to be grateful for!




Archangel Haniel showers us with stardust, illuminating our thoughts and memories so that we can remember what magickal beings we truly are, which assists us in the creation process. In turn, this shows us how to receive with grace and gratitude. This process accelerates when we allow beauty and harmony to surround us. It helps us to enjoy ourselves which makes blessings easier to receive. The Ascended Master Saint Germain surrounds us with loving protection. He teaches us how to clear the way and free our minds from worry so that we can work on more important things. And the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi teaches us that good things happen when we embrace the world with a grateful and appreciative heart. She tells us ” You are worthy of so many wonderful things but first you must get out of your own way! Let me help you to clear the way so that these gifts can be given to you. Make room and feel the lightness it creates within your spirit.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include:


    

  • Aventurine teaches us how to give and receive gracefully. Both are necessary for healthy relationships with self and others and it allows the Universe to care for you. Aventurine also helps to dispel the anger and irritation that sometimes arise when we are stuck in the “what I lack” mind loop.
    • 

  • Carnelian is used 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.
    • 

  • Peridot brings new levels of awareness as it promotes growth and necessary change. It helps to sharpen the mind and enhances our self-confidence. Peridot can teach us to look back at the past and find the gifts that are hidden within our experiences and then shows us the path to forgiveness and moving forward.

Before You Can……: Cat’s Angel Message for August 16, 2019

Before You Can……: Cat’s Angel Message for August 16, 2019


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!




Before you can forgive others, you must be a person whose forgiveness matters. Before you can have gratitude for your life, you must believe that your life has value. Before your choices have value, you must feel that you yourself have value. Before you can dream a great dream for your future, you have to believe that your future matters. Before you can build positive habits of resolve and commitment, before you can begin to live into the Japanese proverb, “Fall seven times, stand up eight,” you must believe that your life matters. Before you can celebrate your life, you must honor it. And, before you can feel unity with, and Honor toward, Spirit and all creation, you must Honor yourself to feel worthy of that unity. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




816:  As we know, our thoughts play an important role in our ability to manifest the things we need, both within ourselves and in our lives. By embracing a positive attitude we are effectively setting out the “Welcome” mat to help draw all the things that will enrich our lives. But first, we have to let go of the negative thought patterns. Today, the Universe is suggesting that we take some time to sweep off the step and shake out our “Welcome ” mat to release any lingering negativity that is hanging around or lurking in corners. Take a deep breath, give yourself a big hug and affirm that you are worthy of receiving prosperity and abundance and allow yourself to welcome them with an open heart!




Gadiel is one of the angels of abundance. He shows us the way to maintaining a positive attitude by releasing negative and limiting beliefs. His guidance can help you to transform your life. The Ascended Master Vywamus teaches us that change can be a healing opportunity. This happens as we allow ourselves to let go of things that have held us back. Along the way, we unearth talents that we had set aside, which will help us to move forward. And the Irish Goddess Dana tells us that, “While you wait for these blessings to arrive fill your heart with feelings of abundance. Engage yourself in things that make you feel abundant!” ….. ” Your energy is linked to the energy of the Divine. Acknowledge and strengthen this connection as it allows you to handcraft your dreams.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include:


The Agate humble is the perfect one 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 of our life experiences.


Mahogany Obsidian keeps us grounded and protects as it helps to eliminate energy blocks, and helps promote growth on all levels


Peridot brings new levels of awareness as it promotes growth and necessary change. It helps to sharpen the mind and enhances our self-confidence. Peridot can teach us to look back at the past and find the gifts that are hidden within our experiences and then shows us the path to forgiveness and moving forward.

Happy Friday,


Not happy where you are or how things are going? You have the power to change all that. While you can’t start over, you CAN from this point make changes and new choices to get back on track and make things better for yourself. Let things go, let them be, and choose to take that first step and move forward!

Daily Good: Bearing Witness: The Animal Dialogues


“It was a fortuitous flip to the essay on pronghorns that persuaded me to pick up Craig Childs’ The Animal Dialogues: Uncommon Encounters in the Wild. In each intimately wrought tale on antelopes, hawks, and red-spotted toads, I found a writer and translator more versed in the tongues of the non-human world than I will ever be. Childs honors the weight and magnitude of his encounters with creatures large and small, preserving the distance and mystery that comes with each meeting. He strives to convey in words what cannot be expressed in words, and in each essay I see one who does what I wish to do myself: To connect with respect, to speak for the voiceless, to bear witness to life and death in their eternal splendor.”

As the first giant, he’s the ancestor of all of the other giants – and, since almost all of the gods are partially descended from giants, he’s their ancestor as well.

Inner Journey:


TIME TO CHANGE?


“When coasting in our comfort zones, we don’t grow. We continue to do more of the same…. Maintaining a comfort zone can, paradoxically, lead to discomfort in the long run. If by being comfortable we avoid important life issues, internal tension accumulates…. Eventually, as both internal and external pressures for change persist, the ‘comfort zone’ ceases to serve us.”

— Eric Allenbaugh


It takes effort to change. What do you most want to change in your life? Make a list of what you can do to start the process. Try journaling, perhaps. Read books. Take a course. Find a mentor. Seek out support.


How will you commit time to make it happen? When are you going to start? Your life is passing quickly!


“Be not afraid of changing slowly; be afraid only of standing still.”

— Chinese Proverb

Today’s Recipe: Summer Squash Lasagne


I had a big summer squash, leftover turkey breast, and leftover cheese. I decided to try putting them together lasagne style, and was pleased with the results. The squash replaces the noodles, so it is low in carbs. You can vary the cheeses, meats, and seasonings. I had basil and kale, so I added them in as well. If I had have ricotta or cottage cheese I would have used that, too.

Ideas


“The man with a new idea is a Crank until the idea succeeds.”


-Mark Twain (1835-1910)


Imagine the ridicule that the Wright Brothers must have had to put up with. But did that deter them? Obviously not! Anything new and innovative might be regarded with fear or suspicion because it is untried, unproven. I guess it’s just a part of our human nature to be skeptical. Thank goodness there are those among us who follow their dreams regardless of their critics! From just one idea, when it blooms, many seeds spring forth, and a whole garden of ideas can then grow and flourish! That’s progress. And we can do the same thing spiritually, too.

Keep Building: Cat’s Angel Message for August 15, 2019


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!




Life’s up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals. Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want. – Marsha Sinetar




815: Back in May we laid the groundwork for initiating change in our lives. The angels are letting us know that we should start seeing results very soon if we are not seeing them already. These changes will be the catalyst that starts a new flow of abundance. During this time it’s important to remember that you and your loved ones are safe and cared for, so don’t stress! The key is to stay positive and let things happen naturally. When an opportunity presents itself don’t be afraid to grab it now. While waiting until it cycles back around is an option it’s possible that it will no longer be what you need as your personal variables will have changed. Use the opportunities as stepping stones to create a path to bigger and better things!




 Archangel Jeremiel is in charge of life reviews and changes. 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 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. 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.  Things flow easier when we are not struggling against the “what if’s and maybes. And, the Yoruban Goddess Oya embodies the winds of change. She tells us, ” Allow the winds of change to flow through your being. In their wake they will leave new energy seeds for you to plant. Use these seeds to help you on your journey. Remember child, that change must be embraced, not ignored or simply put up with. Allow these changes to inspire and encourage you to transcend your self imposed limitations.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include:


    

  •  Iolite, also known as “Poor Man’s Amethyst” it is a stone of vision that assists our intuition and aids us in setting things in motion by staying true to yourself and your path while freeing you from the expectations of others. It helps us to live in the moment making it easier to snag the blessings given to us. It is also a soothing stone that calms the emotions during times of change.

  • Hematite helps us stay grounded and promotes feelings of safety. Hematite also brings mental clarity through focus and concentration which is essential letting go process which accompanies change.
