A Personal Life: Cat’s Angel Message for September 25, 2018

September’s Theme: This month will involve working on our Life Mission/ Purpose. Sometimes we have a clear vision of what that is and sometimes we don’t. Remember that everything you do has an impact on your world and the people in it and around you. It can be simple, like making “tiny miracles” happen for others or even making your own life or the life of a loved one better. Sometime’s the small things are the best!

The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself. – Anais Nin

925: Yesterday we talked about the changes that are headed our way. However, some of you may be experiencing them now. If you are remember that faith is an asset (faith in self and Spirit). It will help you move forward and will invite new things into your life. Today’s number (25) is about action and rising above any obstacles that you encounter. Since change is necessary for growth be sure to embrace the resources you have (like your support system) as they will help you to live life to the fullest and create fresh new ideas and prospects. Combine this with confidence and strength and step into your power to make things happen. The secret to change lies in acceptance and the ability to let things unfold naturally.

If you feel that your faith or confidence is lagging call on Archangel Michael. He helps us to find the inner power to commit to what we believe in while boosting our courage and self esteem. The Greek goddess Hecate in her maiden aspect helps us with new beginnings. She can teach us to see things with a new and fresh perspective which we need when change comes knocking. And the Hindu god Ganesh helps clear all obstacles from our path.

Our Sacred Stone for today is Black Banded Agate which provides energy and support when we start all forms of new things.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: Sept. 25, 2018 “Everything”

Posted on September 25, 2018 by Cat

Happy Tuesday,

Gratitude. We talk about it a lot and how important it is. Our ability to be grateful even for the smallest or mundane things plays an important role in how we see our lives. Small things help us to see the bigger picture through the art of appreciation. The more we appreciate what we have the less we need to feel complete.

MBG: A Crystal Ritual For People Who Don’t Believe In Crystal Rituals

I’ll admit it: Until pretty recently, I found the idea of using crystals as anything but jewelry or decorative bookends pretty ridiculous. How could little rocks possibly have any sort of magical powers—able to somehow pull you closer to the dream life that played on a projector in your head? The whole thing sounded very Disney Channel Original movie, and while I respected those who worked with crystals, I decided I was most definitely not one of them.

Daily Good: The Psychology of Self-Righteousness

“When it comes to moral judgments, we think we are scientists discovering the truth, but actually we are lawyers arguing for positions we arrived at by other means.” The surprising psychology behind morality is at the heart of social psychologist Jonathan Haidt’s research. He explains “liberal” and “conservative” not narrowly or necessarily as political affiliations, but as personality types ways of moving through the world. His self-described “conservative-hating, religion-hating, secular liberal instincts” have been challenged by his own studies. { read more }

Destination Not Important: Cat’s Angel Message for September 24, 2018

Destination Not Important: Cat’s Angel Message for September 24, 2018

Success is a journey, not a destination. – Ben Sweetland

924: As we work on our personal, spiritual and life goals we will find that faith in ourselves is one of our biggest assets. The other important asset is our support system. Our friends, family and Divine sources play a major roles in our success. Today the Universe is sending a gentle reminder that your support system is here. It is surrounding you with supportive and healing energies. This will be important for the changes headed your way or that you are experiencing now. The key here is to allow these things to happen naturally, so don’t force things to happen or struggle to stop them. These changes will benefit you and and shape your goals and dreams. Have faith in yourself and in the Universal powers and get ready to reap the rewards.

Archangel Michael protects us, and offers direction, guidance and courage as we navigate out chosen path. The Hawaiian fire goddess Pele helps us to create and prioritize our goals to help us achieve success , “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!” And Ascended Master Buddha teaches moderation in all things as well as promoting spiritual growth and understanding of self.

Use Angelite, Celestite or Apophyllite help to open communications with the divine realms. Rose Quartz to promote self love and Citrine which brings light into the dark and encourages new/ fresh beginnings.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Thought For The Day: Sept, 24, 2018 “The Soul Voice”

Posted on September 24, 2018 by Cat

Happy Monday,

Inside us lives a tiny voice. It’s sort of like a personal assistant. This is our “Soul Voice” and it rarely leads us astray. However, there are times when we are overloaded with worry, stress or life’s little dramas. This overload means that our brains are full of mind chatter and our Soul Voice has trouble being heard. Silencing the mind can indeed be a challenge, but it’s necessary for our own well being and mental health. A quiet mind is a good thing!

923: We’re starting today with a message from the Ascended Masters. “We are here to help you navigate life’s path and we can assist you with all things.

Faith and Gratitude: Cat’s Angel Message for September 22, 2018

The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest. – William Blake

922: Today is the Autumn Equinox, Mabon or Harvest Home to those of us who follow the pagan traditions. Gratitude is our key word and it goes hand in hand with this seasonal celebration and works hand in hand with faith, the stronger our faith the more we manifest and the more we have to be grateful for. This is a good time to perform a self check and think about the gifts and miracles that have blessed your life so far this year. By looking back we can see how far we have come from spring and the thought seeds that we planted at that time. Make sure to nurture the “new growth” and to harvest what’s ready now. Embrace your blessings with a grateful heart and affirm that you have faith that they will continue to be abundant in your life.

Today we honor the goddess aspects of the Sacred Feminine. They are the Earth Mothers and Harvest goddesses that are associated with this harvest festival (Demeter, Persephone, Pomona) The Ascended Master Krishna can also be honored today as we ask him to help us see life’s blessings more clearly.

Our Sacred Stone for today is Larimar. This stone helps us to see the things that we have to be grateful for and the tiny miracles that we take for granted.

MBG: A Ritual For Boosting Your Self-Esteem As Soon As You Get Out Of Bed

Most of us start the day by looking in the mirror and judging (negatively) our appearance. This literally means our first interaction with anything or anyone is negative. Rather than starting our days by undermining ourselves, we should spend our first moments affirming our worth. In this short video, Kathryn Budig guides us through an easy trick for getting inspired and energized in the first five minutes of your morning.

Patheos-Pagan: Review: Protection Spells By Arin Murphy-Hiscock

A large part of this book is concentrated on spells for children and young folk. There are spells here for general fears, anti-bullying, and also nightmares, things that can plague folks of any age, but are particularly troubling for youth. There are also simple ways to both ground and center yourself which can be helpful for anyone. A large part of protection magic is designed to provide comfort and security and that is what this book provides.

Inner Journey: THE FIRST STEP TO FORGIVENESS

“To get to forgiveness, we first have to work through the painful experiences that require it.”
— Christiane Northrup

To forgive, we do not have to say that whatever happened was okay. In fact, before we can forgive, we need to allow ourselves to really feel the pain of the experience. If we don’t fully acknowledge our hurts, we will continue to carry them subconsciouslyand they will drain our energy.

To forgive, we need to decide that we won’t allow the memories of the event to poison us any longer. We’re ready to heal this wound from the past and open to a fresh new beginning.

The blessing is that when we’re really ready to experience our pain and we open to it, it usually fades away. By honouring our pain, we release it.

“We must let ourselves feel all the painful destruction we want to forgive rather than swallow it in denial. If we do not face it, we cannot choose to forgive it.”
— Kenneth McNoll

A Note from the Universe

I just met with someone very, very fond of you.

Actually everyone here is very, very fond of you.

Anyway, this friend said to tell you that just because most people are looking for what they think they don’t have, doesn’t mean they don’t have it.

She also said you still look fab in black.

Weird, huh? (I mean the first part…)

Today’s Recipe: Grain-Free Cheesy Jalapeno Bread

I made these bread for a friend who is on a strict keto diet that’s to help with a certain ailment. The flour that you’d usually find in this bread has been replaced with Parmesan cheese, and you’d almost never know it. For only having 4 ingredients, this bread is chewy, moist, and crazy delicious! You can up the heat factor by adding more jalapeno, but I kept it on a medium-heat level here.

Solitude

“The secret of solitude is that there is no solitude.”

-Joseph Cook, Conscience (1880)

So the secret is out! When we understand that we can never be “alone” because God is always with us, then we will never be lonely. We will cherish our solitude, and consider it time alone with God.

Expect the Unexpected: Cat’s Angel Message for September 21, 2018

Unexpected events can set you back or set you up. It’s all a matter of – perspective. – Mary Anne Radmacher

921: Many of our daily readings revolve around faith, in the universe and in yourself. I’m sure that you’ve noticed that some days your faith is strong while on others you may feel like things aren’t working out or that what you do doesn’t matter. (This is normal, it happens) Take a moment to acknowledge your feelings, even indulge in a short pity party if you like, then pick yourself up, dust yourself off and remind yourself that you are worthy, strong and nothing will hold you back. Today, the angels want us to know that everything we do is important, even the small things are important. Help and support are always available and it’s only a request away. If your faith is feeling puny today start by grounding, clearing and centering and then ask (Spirit, angels , masters) for a little TLC and support. Make sure to release any negative thoughts and feeling that you may be holding and regain your light-ness of being!

Archangel Raphael provides healing on all levels and can infuse our being with the healing of divine love. The Irish goddess Dana/Danu helps us to navigate through times where our self esteem and courage are low. She teaches us to use the resources that we have to create and manifest our goals and dreams.

Continue to use Rose Quartz for emotional work and add Snowflake Obsidian to reduces any fear we may have and to keep us focused on better things.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!
