Nurturing Your Good Qualities: Cat’s Angel Message for June 16, 2018 

 June Theme: Balancing our need/desire for earthly materials (possessions, money etc) with focus and faith while staying grounded and present.



Never do anything that taints your mind. Wrong actions cause negative or evil mental vibrations that are reflected in your whole appearance and personality. Engage in those actions and thoughts that nurture the good qualities you want to have. – Paramahansa Yogananda




616: Today’s message relates to how we create our own reality and how positive thought plays an important role in our creation and manifestation processes. When we look for and expect good things to happen, they do. While it may not be exactly what we asked for, we benefit from them nonetheless. This is also a reminder about turning  your fears and worries over to Spirit and the Divine Sources.  It doesn’t matter what religion you are or whether you’re an angel person, pagan, wiccan or just spiritual. Letting the “negative nasty’s” go is imperative to your overall well being. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy and the longer we hold on to these “nasty’s” the less good we are able to manifest for ourselves. The angels are asking us to keep our thoughts, actions and energy levels positive so that we have full access to manifesting capabilities.




Archangel Raziel can assist us in both embracing our unique divine magic and in the overall manifestation process.  The Ascended Master Melchizedek, helps us to manifest while shielding us against the negative nasty’s and overcoming unpleasant situations, and the Goddess Sulis who tells us “Look to the elemental power of water for healing and comfort. Water has the power to cleanse away heavy and harmful energies from  your body, your spirit and energy field as well.”




Our Sacred Stones for today are Zoisite and it’s cousin Tanzanite. Zoisite takes negative energies and turns them into something positive. It helps us to manifest ourselves rather than what others impose on us and infuses creativity into our thinking. Tanzanite helps to link with the angelic realms, spirit guides and the ascended masters.


Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Celtic  Tree Month of Oak- June 10-July 7

Celtic Month of Oak- June 10 -July 7


“Under yonder oaken tree,

Whose branches oft me shaded;

Elves and fairies dance with glee,

When day’s last beam hath faded:

Then while the stars shine brightly…”

(tradional welsh air circa 1870’s)




OAK TREE LORE Many cultures held the oak tree sacred. The Greeks and Romans viewed this tree as a symbol of power and endurance. They were the associated with the Greek deities Artemis, Hecate, Zeus and Cybele. In Rome, Jupiter and Juno were Lord and Lady of the Oak, and each year the celebration of their union was held in an oak grove. The Norse god Thor was also Lord of the Oak. In Scandinavia this tree was called the “thunder tree and people kept oak branches in their homes to protect against lightening strikes. Germanic tribes and Anglo-Saxon people also honored the oak as did many Native American tribes. The ancient Celts also held the oak sacred. To the ancient Druids, the oak was the most sacred tree in the grove. It was a powerful symbol of the wheel of the year, and called the king of the forest. Groves of oak trees were considered sacred ground and to damage an oak tree carried a penalty of death. Part of the reason that this tree was given such respect was due to the trees size, life span and it’s production of an important staple food……….acorns. The acorn is claimed to be mans first food. Acorns are tasty and plentiful and can be eaten as they are or ground into flour. When needed they can also be fed to hogs and other animals. The word “door” comes from the Celtic word for oak, “Duir” . Oak doors are still popular today because they are solid and long lasting. It is also part of the bardic alphabet, Ogham. The Druids also found help for their divination and meditation rites in these groves. From the wind in the oak leaves and the birds that lived in the trees they were said to gain great insight and be given messages from the gods. Oak groves were gathering places, where the Druids would teach students, draw strength and hold meetings, rites and gatherings. It is also the personification of the Celtic Tree of Life as it appeared to live in lower, middle and upper worlds simultaneously. The oak tree was associated with the thunder god Taranis due to it’s ability to attract lightning.




OAK IN HEALING


In ancient healing practices the oak also had it’s uses. Antiseptic was made from the acorns, while juice from the leave could be applied to a wound for the same purpose. A remedy made from the inner bark eased a sore throat, while one from the outer bark would reduce fever. The bark itself also produces “tannin” which is important in the tanning of leather.




acorn-1185418 OAK TREE IN MAGICK In ritual and magick oak can be used for protection, stability, strength and success. It has long been the custom to carry a piece of lightning struck oak for protection. This custom is still in use in the British Isles today. Acorns are traditionally carried for fertility and should be gathered at night for this purpose. An acorn should be planted during the dark of the Moon to bring money, and if you catch a falling oak leaf you will be free of illness all winter. Purification can be performed by burning oak leaves and oak galls or serpents eggs are powerful talismans. Since we are coming up on Litha, it is good to point out that oak logs were traditionally burned on this Sabbat.




OAK PEOPLE


People who are born during this Tree Month are generally self motivated and determined. They also carry responsibility well. They are born leaders and know how to handle a crisis. They also tend to be a bit on the serious side but are cheerful and optimistic none the less.


For a man looking for a strong magickal name Oak is a good choice. It symbolizes strength, fertility and majesty.

Elephant Journal: As Above, so below- finding your Inner Sun (Ancient Wisdom Explained)


Growing up in New York, I loved the change in seasons.

Moving to Southern California, I wondered if there would be seasons at all. Or would every day be a sun-drenched beach day?


Then I was introduced to May-Gray.

Sun lovers know that this period of May-Gray and June-Gloom is not ideal for mornings at the beach. The coast is blanketed in a marine layer of dull, gray fog.

EarthSky News: All you need to know: June solstice 2018


The June solstice – your signal to celebrate summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere – is coming up on June 21, 2018, at 10:07 UTC. That’s 5:07 a.m. CDT in North America on June 21. Translate UTC to your time. For us in the Northern Hemisphere, this solstice marks the longest day of the year. Early dawns. Long days. Late sunsets. Short nights. The sun at its height each day, as it crosses the sky. Meanwhile, south of the equator, winter begins.

Patheos-Pagan: Coloring Outside the Lines: Ancestry and Metaphors

Inner Journey:


DON’T REJECT THE EGO


“Nourishing the soul is the process of drinking at the life stream, coming back to one’s true self, embracing the whole of one’s experience – good, bad, or ugly; painful or exalted; dull or boring.”

— Jon Kabat-Zinn


Spiritual teachings sometimes counsel a need to let go of the ego. In our view, though, ego and personality are essential players in our theatre of life. Personality is the vehicle for Spirit to evolve through form. Soul sparks the potential that exists within the personality.


We don’t want the ego to disappear – we want it to open to divine guidance so the two may work together in alignment.


And so the path of personality aims to build a healthy, skilful ego. Ironically, only a strong, mature ego can take responsibility for carrying the consciousness of soul.


“How do we nurture the soul? By revering our own life. By treating it as supremely important. By reaching for the best within ourselves. By learning to love it all, not only the joys and the victories, but also the pain and the struggles.”

— Nathaniel Branden

Humor


“When humor goes, there goes civilization.” -Erma Bombeck


We need humor to balance out all the other “stuff” that is going on in the world every day. Where would we be without our ability to laugh at ourselves. Situation comedies have always been popular on TV because they depict “situations” that we’ve all been in and can relate to – but they do it in such a way that we can see how funny the whole thing is! Today look at the world this way: “My Life is a SitCom!” Of course, you are the star of the show! And all your friends are relatives are supporting players. I’ll bet you’ll find lots of punch lines in the script!

Using Your Pilot Light: Cat’s Angel Message for June 15, 2018 


 June Theme: Balancing our need/desire for earthly materials (possessions, money etc) with focus and faith while staying grounded and present.




Some struggle is healthy. If you can embrace it rather than be angry, you can use it as your pilot light. – Damon Wayans 




615:  Rising above negative thoughts/feeling and  indulging in self care are on the universal agenda today. There are times when rising above feels like a monumental task. This can be  especially true when there are negative things going on around us. When we experience negativity in any form it makes an impression. We get angry, freaky or we absorb it causing a harmful dis-ease that festers inside. Sounds pretty gnarly right? I mean who really wants to go on someone else’s negative roller coaster ride, or your own for that matter. This trap is easy to get caught in and we’ve all been there. The angels advice is pretty clear on this. “The best thing that you can do for yourself is to acknowledge the situation and surround it with healing energy. Then send it to us to deal with. Surround yourself with positive people and energy. Make your own self care one of your top priorities. Remember, you cannot be healthy for others if you are not healthy for yourself!”




Our helpers for today are the Archangels Michael and Zadkiel. They work together to replace  any and all negative energies that we come into contact with. You can call on Michael for protection when you feel overwhelmed with the “energies” of others, he will keep you safe both physically and emotionally. Gaining his assistance is a s easy as “Archangel Michael please help me now!” Zadkiel is the healing half of this duo. He helps us get rid of the emotional residue from negative encounters and encourages us down the path to self care.




Our Sacred Stones for today include Amethyst which is the stone of Archangel Michael. It is a powerful protective stone that works to stop energy attacks. Smoky Quartz dissolves negative emotions. Sunstone teaches us to nurture ourselves as it clears all the chakras and brings both light and energy.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Happy Friday,


Our thought for today is about taking chances. Fear is not uncommon when we are faced with making decisions that affect our lives. However if we want cool, new things to happen for us we must be willing to take some chances.If you’re nervous, start small, take baby steps…. but take that first step!

Inner Journey


DON’T AVOID THE VOID


“When we feel stuck, going nowhere — even starting to slip backward — we may actually be backing up to get a running start.”

— Dan Millman


To change, we must go through a transition zone. It’s not easy being in transition. Thoughts, beliefs and habits are all in flux. It can create a sense of groundlessness, of being in a void that can be quite uncomfortable.


When we’re in the void, our first impulse will be to revert to old habits because they feel comfortable. Our goal is to hang in there until the change is complete. Knowing that TRANSITIONS ARE PART OF THE CHANGE PROCESS helps us muster the courage to put up with the discomfort, the uneasiness, the void.


Change requires a letting go of what we’ve always known and done to allow in something new. We need to trust ourselves and higher forces to unfold a new reality for us.


“Every positive change – every jump to a higher level of energy and awareness – involves a rite of passage. Each time to ascend to a higher rung on the ladder of personal evolution, we must go through a period of discomfort, of initiation. I have never found an exception.”

— Dan Millman

Humor


“Sexiness wears thin after a while and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that’s a real treat!” -Joanne Woodward


Sure, Joanne Woodward can talk – she’s married to Paul Newman! But look what she really values in her husband: his sense of humor. Our sense of humor will take us far in this life. Laughter is like medicine – it keeps us healthy and feeling good. It’s a way of experiencing joy, and a joyful life is a spiritual life, recognizing and appreciating our connection with the Divine.

The Fear of Being Wrong: Cat’s Angel Message for June 14, 2018 


 June Theme: Balancing our need/desire for earthly materials (possessions, money etc) with focus and faith while staying grounded and present.




To live a creative life we must lose our fear of being wrong. – Joseph Chilton Pearce




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 and the ability to move past your fears. Remember, you and your angels are a team and by working together with faith, and focus there is nothing that cannot be accomplished!




Archangel Raziel helps us to manifest prosperity and abundance on all levels. Archangel Jeremiel helps us make the positive life changes  needed to help our personal creation process. The Ascended Master Mother Mary assists in areas where children are concerned by offering protection and guidance, and Buddhist Goddess Green Tara helps us find the strength we need to take action and move past our fears. She says “Come and sit beside me. Breathe and calm your mind and heart. In the center of your being lives the fire of your own creation, feel it and bring it forward. Allow it to bring with it your confidence and courage, do not fear, I am here with you.”




Our Sacred Stones are Fluorite to help focus the mind and Spirit Quartz to overcome fear of success.


Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Patheos-Pagan: Dropping Expectations: What Polytheists & Pagans Need To Relearn About Religion


I’m one of the luckier ones; I not only have been a polytheist for most of my life, but I was neither raised in a Christian household nor with any particular religion whatsoever. It’s not that I feel that Christianity is bad–I certainly harbor no ill feelings towards it.

Inner Journey:  


HARD WORK


“Work should be in order to live. We don’t live in order to work. That shift in awareness is necessary.”

— Matthew Fox


What are your beliefs around work? Do you believe it’s necessary to work hard to earn a living? No pain, no gain? Do you believe women’s work is never done? That play is a waste of time?


While there are merits to the work ethic, over-work takes a serious toll on the quality of our lives. Our ability to contribute to life requires us to have a sense of balance, joy, playfulness, time to stop and smell the flowers.


“Learning to let go of the ways we inadvertently and unconsciously contribute to our own pain is the key to finding radiant physical and emotional health.”

— Ingrid Bacci


“To do great work a man must be very idle as well as very industrious.”

— Samuel Butler


“The true object of all human life is play.”

— G.K. Chesterton

Today’s Recipe: Stuffed Grape Leaves (Dolmeh)


When I was younger, one of the reasons I adored long road trips was because my mum would make these awesome portable stuffed grape leaves to eat as we travelled. These delicious finger foods are filled with protein and make a great meal. They’re awesome for lunchbox meals and picnics. These keep well for several days in the fridge.

Humor


“I think laughter may be a form of courage… As humans we sometimes stand tall and look into the sun and laugh, and I think we are never more brave than when we do that.” -Linda Ellerbee


We can rise above all of our problems. We are bigger than any of them anyway! When things get rough, we have a choice – we can be devastated and beat down, or we can face it head-on and say:”Okay, here we go again. I can take it. I can learn from this. I am growing and I can handle this!” Having a good sense of humor gets us through a lot. It’s just a different way of looking at things, one that recognizes the power that we have over our problems, not the other way around!

Where’s Your Focus?: Cat’s Angel Message for June 13, 2018 


 June Theme: Balancing our need/desire for earthly materials (possessions, money etc) with focus and faith while staying grounded and present.




We can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what’s wrong in your life, or you can focus on what’s right. – Marianne Williamson




613:  Yesterday we talked about Divine Timing and how when the time is right things will 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  by 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 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. Saint Germain is also a good AM to ask for assistance. His “big brother” energy 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 or  try working with the Sacred Feminine archetypes (ie Mother Mary, Isis, Kuan Yin, Brigit, Gaia) Working with the Sacred Feminine helps us to access that part of ourselves, and yes both sexes have it. This plays an important role in our emotional, and spiritual balance and helps access our intuitive skills.




Our Sacred Stones today are:


Amazonite which helps to balance our male and females energies, it dispels negative energy and eases worry.


Ametrine helps to release blocks like negative emotional programing, it helps us to grow on all levels while encouraging us to explore all possibilities and finding creative solutions.


Moonstone can help men to get in touch with their feminine side and helps to balance male-female energy.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!
