Spiritual Unite: False Twin Flame vs True Twin Flame
Before our twin flame enters our life, we meet our false twin flame. The purpose of our false twin flame is to do the final preparations before we are ready to meet our true twin flame. Mostly, it’s a dry run for the real thing.

MBG: This 3-Minute Acupressure Routine Will Help Clear Your Brain Fog — Stat
Ever felt like you’re moving underwater? Or maybe just your brain is? It can hit you in the middle of the day, after the morning coffee has worn off and your lunch is happily sitting in your stomach—productivity slows and brain fog rolls in.

Did You Know?
Using Trees for Navigation:
For those who know their tree facts, navigation becomes a much easier task. Moss grows on the shadier side of a tree trunk, so in northern climates, you’ll know the side with the most moss is the north side. And if you find a tree stump, even better. Tree rings do more than reveal a tree’s age − in the northern hemisphere, the growth rings are slightly thicker on the southern side, since this is the part of the tree which receives the most light. In the southern hemisphere, the opposite will be true, so expect moss on the southern side and thicker rings on the northern while in southern climes.

Samhain is coming. Our modern-day Halloween, a celebration of all-things spooky based on this old Celtic celebration of Samhain, surely has little to do with its original counterpart (although if you’ve been following my wife’s special newsletter, you now probably know that some traditions have survived the test of time, such as the apple bobbing game).

Elephant Journal: This Halloween, Forget Trick-or-Treating—Dance with the Dead Instead.
Halloween—meaning holy evening—has a rich and fascinating history, going back thousands of years.
All Hallows’ Eve has become a modern mishmash of old pagan and younger Christian traditions. In many parts of the world, the festival is also known as Day of the Dead—a fusion of pre-Columbian, African, and Christian observances and rituals, a three-day event that actually just gets started on October 31st.

EarthSky News: Halloween ghost of the summer sun
Every Halloween – and a few days before and after – the brilliant star Arcturus, brightest star in Bootes the Herdsman, sets at the same time and on the same spot on the west-northwest horizon as the summer sun. This star rises at the same time and at the same place on the east-northeast horizon as the summer sun. That’s why – every year at this time – you can consider Arcturus as a ghost of the summer sun.

Inner Journey:
FREE TO CHOOSE
“Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.”
— Sigmund Freud
In his book Nobody’s Victim, Christopher J. McCullough explains, “In order to live your freedom, you must first accept reality. ‘These are the choices, and given those choices, which do I choose?’ Whether the option you select is pleasant or painful does not alter the fact that, given reality, this is your preference.
“To live your freedom, it is helpful to stop and ask yourself, ‘Why am I doing this?’ and then notice whether, given the options, you are choosing what you really want, or whether you want to choose something else…. Sometimes the exercise of freedom involves naming your poison — all choices may lead to outcomes that are in some way painful. But the real pain is that of feeling powerless — denying your freedom.”
“Freedom is man’s capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mold ourselves.”
— Dr. Rollo May

Self-Knowledge
“Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.” -Lao-tzu
There are so many things to learn in this life. We spend years in school studying algebra and history, science and literature. All of this is fascinating, and helps us to grow. And yet, when you know yourself, you know everything. It all becomes so simple. We can see the connections, we can feel the balance of it all. Garner wisdom from books and teachings, and also, look within.

The Lightness of Spirit: Cat’s Angel Message for October 30, 2018
October’s Theme: Divine guidance and messages. Thoughts, ideas, insights, or even warnings. These messages are important for us personally, emotionally and spiritually so work on staying open to the information that you receive.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
1030: The Sacred Source and it’s helpers are always available when we need assistance. It’s good to have friends in high places, natural places, and even earth, air fire and water places. No matter what we need, help, healing, peace, etc., all we need to do is ask. As we get ready to close out the month of October we are being reminded of divine guidance and messages. Sometimes we shut our receptors down out of fear, anger or stress. The messages keep coming but they just pile up in the inbox and remain unopened. During these time it’s more important than ever to keep yourself open. Take some time today to ground-center-clear. Open your connection to the Universe. Ask for what you need or simply give thanks for the blessings you have received in this cycle. This will help you to get a step up on November. Remember, your requests are always heard and inner peace is yours for the taking.
Call on your patron/patroness Goddess/God or favorite Angel or Ascended Master today. Ask if there is anything you need to know today or have missed and open yourself to receiving the guidance that is waiting.
Our Sacred Stones for today include, Celestite promotes spiritual development and teaches us to reach for enlightenment and helps us to find peace within. Larimar opens communication with the angelic realms and brings blessings of peace, love and tranquility. And Selenite to strengthen communication with all higher realms.
Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Elephant Journal: Halloween: This Time of Year gives us the Chance to learn Life’s Greatest Lesson. {Book Excerpt}
This time of Halloween, Samhain, Day of the Dead, longer nights, colder weather, and winter’s looming arrival is a good time to contemplate death.
Death has much to teach us.
One of the most significant tests we ever face is death. And, because of his gravity, his apparent finality, he jolts our soul.
For we often don’t get things done till the deadline. We might delay fully living if we did not hear the tick, tick, tick of time.

Patheos-Pagan: Samhain is What You Make of It
There always seems to be so much more Witchcraft and Paganism than usual at Samhain. Some of that is because there’s often just more to do. For many of us there are just more rituals to partake in, and there’s something about Autumn and Halloween that just feels like Witchcraft. You might blame the thinning of the veil for this, or maybe it’s the chillier weather, or shorter days.

Inner Journey:
GO FOR PASSION!
“There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.”
— Frederico Fellini
How do you ration your passion?
In what situations have you experienced your life to the fullest? Do you live your passion as fully as you can? How do you limit your experience of passion?
Passion emerges when your essence expresses itself. How do you stop yourself from fully expressing who you are?
“Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark.”
— Henri Frederic Amiel
“We could hardly wait to get up in the morning.”
— Wilbur Wright

Self-Knowledge
“Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.”
-Henry David Thoreau
As a spiritual community, we talk a lot about “who we really are” and becoming “more of our Self.” But wanting it and actually achieving it are two different things. The first step is understanding what it is we’re really after. And it’s not fish! Self-knowledge is something intangible, and invaluable.

New Discoveries: Cat’s Angel Message for October 29, 2018
October’s Theme: Divine guidance and messages. Thoughts, ideas, insights, or even warnings. These messages are important for us personally, emotionally and spiritually so work on staying open to the information that you receive.
One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. – Andre Gide
1029: Universal abundance comes in many forms and from many sources. Sometimes we can see them happening right away while other times we wonder if our requests have even been heard. Our keywords for today are “Patience” and “Faith”. The wheels are turning and behind the scenes things are falling into place. Be patient and have faith that things ARE materializing. Stay strong and focused. Let go of doubt and open yourself to living in the now. Our Life Mission/ Purpose is also coming into play and the abundance of the Universe manifests itself here as well. If you feel that you have lost something or something is missing remember that the Universe supplies us with everything we need to live richer and more fulfilling lives. New adventures are on the horizon and you need to be ready when they arrive!
The Ascended Master Maitreya (Laughing Buddha) teaches us to see the world with laughter, joy and goodwill.By allowing ourselves to see with joy new things are not so scary. Archangel Michael gives us the courage we need to embrace necessary changes needed to help us move forward. The Hindu Goddess Kali is a dark mother and goddess of death. Every time we let go of something that no longer serves us we are embracing a “little death”. Fear often accompanies letting go. One of Kali’s greatest lessons is through our worst fears lies the freedom we gain in conquering them.
Our Sacred Stones for today are Galena which helps us to stay grounded and centered. It helps to open the mind as it dissolves self-limiting thoughts from our past. And Mookite which helps us stay flexible in the face of change while encouraging new experiences.
Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Action or Inaction? : Cat’s Angel Message for October 28, 2018
October’s Theme: Divine guidance and messages. Thoughts, ideas, insights, or even warnings. These messages are important for us personally, emotionally and spiritually so work on staying open to the information that you receive.
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. – Dale Carnegie
1028: We always hear people talk about the “Abundance of the Universe”, and I know that I mention it here quite often. The Universe does have an abundant supply. But the idea that it just miraculously appears for us without effort on our part is a fairy tale. When good things happen, seemingly out of the blue, remember to take a look back and see what actions you took to help make them happen. The relationship between you and the Universe is a partnership. There is give and take and periods in between that require patience. The key to receiving Universal Abundance lies in our willingness to do our part, to take the steps that move us forward and make use of the opportunities that come our way. Don’t sit back and wait for things to “happen”, life will be sweeter when you get involved in your own creation.
Archangel Sandalphon is the divine messenger. He hears our prayers and requests and makes sure that they get to the angel or ascended master best suited to help us. The Hawaiian goddess Pele helps us in the setting, prioritizing and achieving of goals by tapping into what we really want not just what sounds good.
Our Sacred Stone for today is Sodalite. This blue and white stone helps to remove old mental conditioning and outdated mindsets to create the space for new things.
Bright blessings for a magickal day!

October’s Theme: Divine guidance and messages. Thoughts, ideas, insights, or even warnings. These messages are important for us personally, emotionally and spiritually so work on staying open to the information that you receive.
The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. – The Buddha
1027: Today the Universe is giving us a vacation day from the inner work that we have been doing. It’s is a great time time to show yourself a little love and recharge those spiritual batteries. Ground, clear and center, meditate, take yourself to lunch or a movie, buy yourself a present or just kick back with a good book or take a nature walk. On day’s like this our connection with Spirit and the angels tends to be relaxed and open. Gently meditate on messages that you receive and allow the information to come to you. Pay attention to things that excite or move you to take action as this will prepare you for some pretty nifty stuff headed our way in November!
Archangel Jophiel helps to slow down and just chill out. We all deserve some down time to rejuvenate our spirits. The Ascended Master Maitreya helps us find joy and laughter and the healing that lies within them. And the Welsh goddess Cordelia is a deity of nature and technically Spring is her season. However, she has shown up today to remind us that every season has it’s own unique beauty and healing energy. Embrace joy today to help you to escape stress and let go. She tells us: “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 are: Ulexite to aid meditation and promote relaxation, Topaz to clean the aura, and Magnesite to bring you deep peace.

Patheos-Pagan: Welcoming The Witches’ New Year With The Moon
There’s lots of talk about Samhain being the Witches’ New Year, but little is known about the origins of this association.

Inner Journey:
OPEN TO TRUST
“When I grip the wheel too tight, I find I lose control.”
— Steve Rapson
WE SEEK TO CONTROL OUR LIVES WHEN WE DO NOT TRUST, WHEN WE DO NOT LOVE. Our ego, perceiving itself to be vulnerable and insecure, uses control in an effort to protect itself.
At the root of our need to control, we find FEAR. It may be fear of the unknown. Fear of not coping. Fear of loss. Or possibly even fear of looking stupid. And as our efforts to control other people and events invariably fail, our fear increases.
Trust, on the other hand, is a quality of the soul. While control is a tool of the mind, TRUST AND FAITH ARE ASPECTS OF THE HEART. Trust comes with the deep knowing that we are spiritual beings in physical bodies. When we trust enough in life to give upour need to control, we can relax and open to the flow of energy in our lives. This brings peace of mind.
“The only real security in life lies in relishing life’s insecurity.”
— M. Scott Peck
“Do not abandon trust when your ego thinks things should be different than they are.”
— Wayne Dyer

Forgiveness
“To err is human; to forgive, divine.” -Alexander Pope
I’ve heard this quote dozens of times, but I never knew who said it! We are spiritual beings living in human form. We are capable of all things divine – and prone to all things human. We make mistakes. We mess up, we blow it – and sometimes stupidly, too. But the divine in us knows that this is all a part of the process, that we are growing and learning and finding our way every day. When we forgive ourselves, and others, we are tapping into that pure potential of divinity within each one of us.
