Junes Full Strawberry Moon

June 17, 2019 at 1:30 am PST /  2:30 am  MST/  4:30 am  EST

The Old Farmers Almanac calls this moon The Full Strawberry Moon. The name comes from the Algonquin tribes of the Eastern US and honors the ripening of the wild strawberries or “heart berries”. They are considered one of the “fruits of love”. There is a Cherokee tale that goes like this;

Long ago, the Great Spirit made First Woman and First Man. They soon became husband and wife and everything was good. Then one day something bad happened and they began to argue, angry words were spoken and feelings were hurt. First Woman grabbed up some of her belongings and said that she was leaving and would find somewhere else to live. First Man was angry too and at first did not follow. After a while he regretted his harsh words and went after her to apologize. But she was so far ahead that he could not catch her.

He called upon the Great Spirit for help. “Answer me this” replied the Great Spirit “Is your soul one with hers?” “Yes!” First Man answered, “it has been sine you first breathed life into us!” Seeing the mans grief the Great Spirit took pity upon him and did his best to slow First Woman down. He created bushes full of tempting berries that grew at her feet as she walked. Gooseberries, Service Berries, Huckleberries and Blackberries, but the woman kept walking and paid no attention. The Great Spirit was suddenly struck with an idea. He went into his garden and grabbed up some strawberry plants and threw them to the earth. The little plants landed at First Woman’s feet and began to bloom and then came the berries! The bright red berries drew her attention and she stopped to taste one and one led to another. As she ate the berries her anger was forgotten and suddenly she longed for her husband. Rummaging through her things she found a basket and filled it with berries.

First Man was hurrying along the path when suddenly he saw First Woman coming toward him and smiling. he never got to apologize, his wife popped a strawberry in his mouth and taking his hand…. led him home.



It is also a good time to do any workings that maintain or enhance what you already have (ie. jobs, relationships, home. garden). Do a little for yourself as well by wearing the warm colors of yellow ,orange and gold to brighten your outlook or wear, meditate on or work with stones like topaz (recharges and aligns meridians) and agate (grounding on all levels, stabilizing the aura)




Full Moon Blessings to All!

MBG: This Much Time In Nature Boosts Mental & Physical Health, Finds Study


In recent years, science has made it clear: Humans need exposure to vast green spaces, to feel their toes in the grass, and to breath in fresh woodland air from time to time. Around the globe, there’s mounting research to support the idea that exposure to nature improves both physical and mental health—and it goes well beyond a momentary mood boost.

MNN: It’s never too late to reinvent yourself

How architect Le Corbusier, a 13th-century abbey and a busload of tourists taught me some lessons.


In 1953, the architect Le Corbusier was working on the design of La Tourette, a convent for the Dominican friars. His client, Père Marie-Alain Couturier, recommended that the architect visit Le Thoronet Abbey, built in the 12th and 13th centuries in southeast France. Le Corbusier was impressed; Architect Susan Jones quotes him:

Patheos-Pagan: A Sand Dollar Spell for Prosperity

I adore working magic on the sea shore.

This is a pretty simple spell but it can be quite powerful, especially for someone deeply connected to the salty waters

Inner Journey:


WHAT IS YOUR BODY SAYING?


“Many people treat their bodies as if they were rented from Hertz — something they are using to get around in but nothing they genuinely care about understanding.”

— Chungliang Al Huang


“As we explore the extraordinary interplay of energies between the many aspects of our personality — our needs, unconscious reactions, repressed emotions, aspirations and fears — with the functioning of our physicalsystem and its capacity to maintainm itself, we soon realise how very wise the body is. With its intricately detailed systems and operations it portrays infinite intelligence and compassion, constantly giving us the means to understand ourselves further, toconfront issues we are not looking at, and to go beyond that which is holding us back.”

— Deb Shapiro


Scan your body with your awareness. Are you experiencing any aches and pains? Any stiffness?


What might your body be trying to tell you about how you are living your life?


“Your body is the ground and metaphor of your life, the expression of your existence. It is your Bible, your encyclopedia, your life story. Everything that happens to you is stored and reflected in your body. In the marriageof flesh and spirit divorce is impossible.”

— Gabrielle Roth


“What is always speaking silently is the body.”

— Norman Brown

Life’s Dance: Cat’s Angel Message for June 14, 2019


June’s Theme: Maintaining balance our in all areas of our lives. (material, spiritual, goals, dreams, self etc.) Create and invite good things through focus and faith while staying grounded and present.




Today I invite life to dance. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie (joyprogram.com)




614:  Working with the Universe is a team effort. If we truly want to succeed it’s imperative that we do our part to help create on our own behalf. Today we are being reminded that our helpers can only do so much. The Universe does have an unlimited supply but without adding our own efforts and energies we won’t get the “whole enchilada”, just a few bites. You are worthy of great things so allow yourself to believe in your own power. Remember, you and your angels are a team and by working together with faith, and focus there is nothing that cannot be accomplished!




 Archangel Jeremiel helps us make the positive life changes needed to help our personal creation process. 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. The Ascended Master Serapis Bey helps us to release our troubles and offers clear guidance and motivation regarding our own self improvement. He also helps us gain spiritual insight and teaches us that loving care is essential to navigating change. The Greek goddess Nike, Lady of victory and success helps us to embrace the good things that we have accomplished. By acknowledging them we can increase our faith in ourselves as a creator. She says: “Do not be afraid to acknowledge the amazing things you have done but don’t rest to long on your laurels. Remember that your power comes through movement and momentum is lost through inactivity. Keep moving and you will be victorious!”




Our Sacred Stones for today include the following: Rhodocrocite which promote a loving and balanced approach to life and encourages a positive attitude and creativity. Sky blue Larimar can help ease our obsession for material things and shows us how to put things into perspective so that you manifest what you really need. It shows us how to go with the flow. And  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.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

The Daily Good: The Power of Everyday Rituals


In a world often fraught with stress and disorder, the Balinese ritual of canang sari is a reminder of the sacred nature of all things and times. On Balinese street corners and in hallways, at the entry to shops and homes, these small baskets of flowers remind the giver and the passerby of how one can enter into what is essential in everyday life. Author Jay Griffith experienced the value of ritual expressed in canang sari while on a trip to Bali and realized that, “Tiny, everyday rituals are a hand-crafted prayer to domestic order, beckoning the divine to step inside a moment.” She explains here how she saw traditions in every culture with new eyes, and realized how rituals can give life a depth and sacredness we all need.

Smudging is a great way to cleanse a sacred space, and most people use smudge sticks made of sweetgrass or sage for this purpose.

Daily Tarot: The Lovers


Indecision is not necessarily a bad thing, but taken to extremes it can make you pessimistic and defeatist. Take the time you need to make the choices you need but don’t get bogged down and grind to a halt. Take yourself in hand and refuse to feel helpless in the face of a challenging (or tempting) situation. Refuse to be rushed by anyone, too.

Patheos-Pagan: Working with Deities


I’m not sure how rare of a Pagan I am in the way I work with deities. I’m a polytheist. I believe in many Godds*. I believe that they are autonomous beings that exist and evolve differently than humans and perhaps on a different plain of existence. I’m not really worried about “how” or the “why” or “how” (yes, how twice). The how and why doesn’t really matter because belief requires some amount of faith. Faith requires some amount of trust. Trust requires some amount of surrender

Inner Journey:


HOPE AND DISAPPOINTMENT


“It’s precisely the disappointing stories, which have no proper ending and therefore no proper meaning, that sound true to life.”

— Max Frisch


“Don’t get your hopes up!”


Were you warned of this as a child? What does this say? It says that life is bound to disappoint you. It says, don’t aim high because you’re not likely to get what you want. It says that we can’t expect good things to happen to us.


As our thinking creates our reality, this kind of thinking dooms us to a mundane existence. It’s time to change our stories. Why not focus the immense power of our hearts and minds on bringing to fruition the very best life has to offer? Allow yourself to hope and believe in all possibilities.


“Hope is the companion of power, and the mother of success; for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles.”

— Samuel Smiles


“The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.”

— Barbara Kingsolver

Daily Wisdom

June 13, 2019


Words


“You may choose your word like a connoisseur,

And polish it up with art,

But the word that sways, and stirs, and stays,

Is the word that comes from the heart.”


-Ella Wheeler Wilcox, 1906


When we communicate, we want to choose our words carefully to be sure that we are completely understood. And yet, when we want to express our feelings, sometimes it helps to just let those feelings flow, to think with our hearts more than with our heads. The words that come from our hearts are so true and real that they can’t help but have an effect on anyone who hears them.


-Lissa Coffey

Trust-Faith-Believe: Cat’s Angel Message for June 13, 2019


June’s Theme: Maintaining balance our in all areas of our lives. (material, spiritual, goals, dreams, self etc.) Create and invite good things through focus and faith while staying grounded and present.




Trust your own inner guidance. Have faith that your steps are carrying you toward your dreams. Keep your eyes on the heavens and believe that your feet will carry you well. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie




613:  Yesterday we talked about Divine Timing and how things will click and fall into place. Today the Ascended Masters are stepping in to offer us a little extra assistance. They are asking us to release any worries or concerns that we have in regards to the future, our dreams or our goals. By letting these things go for now and  simply asking for divine help it frees our energy so that we can focus on things we can work with in the now. Today’s number also corresponds to the Sacred Feminine and our own intuition. Embrace both today to gain valuable insights that will serve us later in the week. Remember to have faith and trust in yourself. You know what you need to do, so follow your inner guidance system and take the steps that will help you keep your forward momentum.




The Himalayan Ascended Master Babaji helps us to achieve the personal and spiritual growth necessary for the letting go process . Letting go is a form of simplifying your life. It frees your energy so that you can work on what’s important. The Ascended Master Vywamus teaches us that change can be 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 Welsh goddess Cordelia helps us to meet life’s changes with courage and excitement. She asks that we try to find a new perspective about what lies ahead. Embrace joy today to help you to escape stress and let go. “Healing can be found in nature. Allow the beauty that surrounds you to renew your spirit and fill your soul with pure joy.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include the following: Ametrine helps to release blocks like negative emotional programming, as  it helps us to grow on all levels while encouraging us to explore all possibilities and finding creative solutions. Hematite has a strong connection to the earth element and 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 and Eulite (Hypersthene) which helps us to find solutions to problems (large and small) that get in our way and can hold us back. It will also make seeing the answers and solutions easier by stopping the need to overthink or overly critical thinking.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Happy Thursday,


We all appreciate a friend or family member asking if we are okay.  Today is a reminder that we should do the same for others. If you haven’t heard from someone for awhile, it might be a good time to check in. Remember, everyone has “stuff” going on even though they not be broadcasting it to the world.

On June 11 and 12, 2019, use the waxing gibbous moon to find Spica, the brightest star in the constellation Virgo the Maiden. In fact, Spica is Virgo’s one and only 1st-magnitude star. Although the bright moon will wipe out a number of fainter stars from the canopy of night tonight, bright Spica should withstand the moonlit glare. If you have trouble seeing Spica, place your finger over the moon and look for a bright star nearby

Patheos-Pagan: Quick ways to Ground and Shield


The world seems like it’s spinning ever faster, and that people are spinning along with it. One of the first questions I ask someone who is feeling discombobulated (after checking their breathing and hydration levels) is: have you grounded and shielded? Most of the time, I get the bewildered, no?! And then we work quickly to get that done. It makes a difference in this harried world.

Inner Journey:


LIVING IN HARMONY


“Peace comes not from the absence of conflict, but from the ability to cope with it.”

— Unknown Source


Angeles Arrien says that life will be simple if we follow the four-fold way counselled by indigenous peoples:

1. Show up, being present with all four mental, emotional, physical and spiritual intelligences.

2. Pay attention to what has heart and meaning.

3. Tell the truth without blame or judgment.

4. Be open to outcome, not attached to outcome.


“Peace is not won by those who fiercely guard their differences, but by those who with open minds and hearts seek out connections.”

— Katherine Paterson

Words


“Words make another place, a place to escape to with your spirit alone.”


-Robert MacNeil


We all know what it feels like to get lost in a really good book. What magic there is in that! What a gift that is available to us, to be able to share our thoughts and feelings and experiences with each other – to express our concerns and joys. All this is possible because we have the words to do it. It doesn’t matter if it is the spoken word, or the written word – written on a computer or by hand – in block letters, a smothe cursive, or even Braille! Words help us to learn more about ourselves, and about each other.

Daily Tarot: The Tower


If any problems arise today, they will probably come out of being careless about something simple and normally no trouble at all. Carelessness is the chief threat to having things go smoothly. Even if only small things are lost, broken, or need to be redone, it can make tomorrow even more of a mess than today might be. Pay attention to details, take your time and do your best.

A Piece Of The Puzzle: Cat’s Angel Message for June 12, 2019


June’s Theme: Maintaining balance our in all areas of our lives. (material, spiritual, goals, dreams, self etc.) Create and invite good things through focus and faith while staying grounded and present.




There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle. – Deepak Chopra




612:  Our prayers and request often resemble a puzzle which can’t be completed until all the pieces are in place. This is called Divine timing. Human beings are an impatient bunch and have been conditioned to expect everything immediately. However forcing something to happen too quickly can be a devastating lesson. Today we are being reminded that our dreams do not truly manifest until the Universe knows that we are ready to handle them. We can help divine timing by staying focused on our goals, having faith in the Universe and ourselves, and by grabbing the opportunities that do present themselves to build a firm foundation to support our dreams. By building a strong foundation we ensure our success. Remember that patience is the key to all manifestation and a positive attitude helps to open the doors and pathways you need to move forward!




Archangel Sandalphon makes sure that our prayers and requests are forwarded to the angels and ascended masters who can provide the best assistance. Ascended Master El Morya can help if you have trouble with grounding yourself. He gently helps us in putting aside our worries and cares. He also teaches about faith as he guides us through making decisions that affect our path.  And the Greek goddess Hecate teaches us about the importance of change. She helps us to release the past and the old things that keep us from moving on and how to accept change and transition. She tells us: ” 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 include the following: Tiger’s Eye which helps us to accomplish our goals by showing us how to recognize and access our inner resources and the promotion of clear intentions. Amber which bestows a positive mental state and helps us find balance, patience and aids in decision making and Larimar which helps to ease our obsession for material things and shows us how to put things into perspective so that you manifest what you really need. It shows us how to go with the flow.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!
