Thought for the Day: August 24, 2017 ” Leadership”

Posted on by

Happy Thursday!

Leadership is something that we are all capable of. While some are comfortable in this role others are not and like to stay off the radar. The point is that at some point we find ourselves in the leadership role whether it’s by choice or default. Any time we offer guidance to another (friend, family member , co-worker) we are being a leader. Being a leader (even a reluctant one) doesn’t mean doing everything for them it simply means giving them a nudge in the right direction and sharing your knowledge and experiences. You don’t need to be a “hard-ass” to be a leader and in fact the best ones actually follow our quote for the day!

Seeking Our Freedom: Cat’s Angel Message for August 23, 2017  

August Theme: Prosperity- Abundance- Creative Problem Solving 

Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty. ~ Frank Herbert

823: The Ascended Masters are stepping in today to give us a hand with any issues of faith we may be experiencing. Remember that most AM’s spent time on earth i n human form and because of this they have a better understanding of what we go through. Their energy signature is different from the angels and feels more like that of a close friend or relative. Our key words for today are Faith-Focus- Freedom (from worry and concern). You are so very worthy of great things so be true to yourself and don’t be afraid to step into your power!

Choose your favorite Ascended Master today and try using Moldavite to open the channels of communication.

Blessings for a magickal day!

Thought for the Day: August 23, 2017 “Laugh It Off”

Happy Wednesday!


Laughter is a great gift. Just think about that old saying ” Laughter is the best medicine.”  It helps you relax, makes you feel good, it’s a gift you can share with others and it’s free! The trouble is that most of fail to use this gift to our advantage. We take things too seriously and it can create a pretty stressful atmosphere. We have to learn to laugh away the things that we can and you know that your personal evolution in on the right track when you can laugh at yourself. Look for the humor today and engage in a little mid-week self care!

It’s a Gift: Cat’s Angel Message for August 22, 2017  


August Theme: Prosperity- Abundance- Creative Problem Solving 


This life has been given to us as a gift, as such a precious gift. To really try to understand it, really try to recognize it, is the greatest meditation. Through the media of this Knowledge we can tap into our inner sources that are so beautiful.  ~ Prem Rawat


822: Today the angels are reminding us that the secret to manifestation is faith. When we have faith in the Universe and above all in ourselves we open the door to creating new opportunities and into drawing positive energy into our lives. To keep things moving forward stay focused on the best possible outcome, acknowledge the tiny miracles, and keep an open mind.if worry creeps in take a moment to center yourself and give your concerns over to your angels. Affirm that you are open to and ready to receive all the wonderful things that the Universe has in store for you!


Call on the angel Pathiel to help open the gates of positive manifestation and Archangel Raziel to assist with overall manifestation process. Our sacred stone for the day is Mookite. This earthy stone allows you to see things in a new perspective and aids forward progress.




Blessings for a magickal day!

Thought for the Day: August 22, 2017 “The Impact of Encouragement”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
Happy Tuesday to all or you beautiful light beings!


Our thought for today is about encouragement. While there are good people in the world who share their light with others, there are also the ones who get off on being ugly to others. All you have to do is look at social media to see the worst that some people have to offer. It’s a sad thing. In one of my more recent “Thoughts”  I talked about encouraging others and lifting people up. We all need this, me, you, everyone. Today offer encouragement to another, pay a heartfelt compliment, give someone a hug or pat on the back. A little encouragement goes a long way!

Sunshine, Freedom and Flowers: Cat’s Angel Message for August 21, 2017  


August Theme: Prosperity- Abundance- Creative Problem Solving 


“Just living is not enough”, said the butterfly, “one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower” ~ Hans Christian Andersen


821: Today’s message aligns with yesterday’s. Through acknowledging and accepting divine right timing we maintain positive focus and a peaceful frame of mind. Without stress and worry bogging us down we can expect the best and invite miracles and blessings into our lives. Remember, you are a powerful creator and worthy of good things. Take some “Me” time today to clear your thoughts and energy that does not bring you peace and happiness.


If you feel like you have lost your inner peace call on Archangel Chamuel or the Ascended Master Buddha to help you gain control. Try using harnessing the energy of Shiva Lingham stones for a soothing spiritual detox.




Blessings for a magickal day!

Thought for the Day: August 21, 2017 “Keep Growing”

			
						

				Posted on   by  			

			
					


				

			
Happy Monday!


Let’s start the new week with the New Moon, an eclipse and our thought for the day from Tupac Shakur.  “We’re made to grow”, I like that line, mostly because it’s true! Life is about growing. Life can be joyous, painful or even mediocre, but it is through these lessons that we grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Many things about life are not fair these too are lessons that help us grow. If we let ourselves stop growing we experience a “little death” and parts of being, our spirit wither. ” You either evolve or you disappear.” Never stop growing, evolving, bloom where you are planted and keep reaching for the sky!

Bountiful Happiness: Cat’s Angel Message for August 20, 2017  


August Theme: Prosperity- Abundance- Creative Problem Solving 


It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.  ~ Thomas Jefferson


820: Today the angels are delivering a message from the Divine Source (Goddess/God, Creator, Spirit). “The universe holds a bountiful supply for everyone. All you need is within your grasp. Have faith in yourself and in me. My angels are here to help you, so never be afraid to make requests of them.”  Remember that “divine right timing” comes into play here. When w e make a request things are set into motion. Sometimes we see quick results and sometimes we must wait. This happens because we are not quite ready for a specific request to be fulfilled and the Universe wait until all is in place before sending it our way. Behind the scenes things are happening and the wheels are turning bringing you closer to your desired outcome.


The archangels Raphael and Michael work together to help us to make room for new things. The ascended master Ganesh can also help us by removing the obstacles that lie in our path. Try using Ocean Jasper to promote patience and to calm emotional stress.




Blessings for a magickal day!

Garden Song




    

  1. 

    

    Inch by inch, row by row
    
Gonna make this garden grow
    
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
    
And a piece of fertile ground
    

    Inch by inch, row by row
    
Someone bless these seeds I sow
    
Someone warm them from below
    
Till the rain comes tumbling down
    

    Pulling weeds and picking stones
    
Man is made of dreams and bones
    
Feel the need to grow my own
    
Cause the time is close at hand
    

    Painful rain, sun and rain
    
Find my way in nature’s chain
    
Tune my body and my brain
    
To the music from the land
    

    Plant your rows straight and long
    
Temper them with prayer and song
    
Mother Earth will make you strong
    
If you give her love and care
    

    Old crow watching hungrily
    
From his perch in yonder tree
    
In my garden I’m as free
    
As that feathered thief up there

Egyptian Mythology Or Spiritual Reality – Did Egyptians See Them As The Same Thing?

ByLeon Steyn


One of the most interesting fields of study is the study of Egyptology.Without doubt this remarkable history and the dry desert worked together to give the world the most amazing evidence of ancient history, myth and spiritual reality. But where did the one stop and the other begin?


Mythology and Religion


There is enough evidence from the engravings on temple walls, statues and scrolls for us to reach the conclusion that for the ancient Egyptians the main pantheon was Osiris. This deity was not just a deity but was immortalised by putting him in the sky from where he now follows the sun. It was also believed that all Pharaohs that died became gods themselves and joined Osiris in the sky. From here they would protect their followers.


For the Egyptians it was easy to look up and see Osiris watching over them. This fact was enhanced as they could see him standing in the early morning eastern sky. From his prominent position in heaven he brought the flooding of the Nile, the life and death of all Egyptians who lived next to the Nile. Osiris was not a mythological character to them; he was a tangible spiritual deity you could see and worship.


Orion the Hunter


As the Greek mythological figure Orion the Hunter, this group of stars could be the most prominent constellation in the sky as it is so easy to spot. For the Greeks this Hunter was part of the Zodiac and much more than mythology. Now for those who do not know this yet, the constellation Orion is also the god Osiris we just talked about. And for those with no idea where or who either is, the brightest star in the sky Sirius is always near Orion. The belt of three stars makes Orion easy to spot because there is only one place where the stars form such a line in the sky. Rigel the white star on his knee and Betelgeuse the orange star on his shoulder plus a few other stars form the outline of this prominent starry pattern. Nearby you can also find Aldebaran, the orange star and the Pleiades or Seven sisters, a group of stars, all part of Taurus the Bull.


Today we look up at the sky and we appreciate the names and forms the early civilizations had given to the constellations of stars. However we do not see Orion as anything but a recognizable pattern of stars. Still for the Egyptians and even for the pre – Christian Greeks, they were something much more. They were gods. We have moved away from looking at the stars and see them as gods but when we see the procession of Druids at Stonehenge during an eclipse or around the solstice we wonder how far we have moved from the earlier beliefs.

It’s About Perspective: Cat’s Angel Message for August 19, 2017  


August Theme: Prosperity- Abundance- Creative Problem Solving 


I wept because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.  ~ Persian Proverb


819: The Universe provides us with everything that we need to make our lives happy and successful. We have access to higher assistance as well as our own inner guidance system. By doing our best to keep things in a positive perspective and by living in gratitude we can both manifest and create a better life for ourselves and our loved ones. Today the angels are reminding us to stay focused on our goals because it will broaden our outlook and 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. Since we are working toward the New Moon on Monday call on the Greek goddess/ascended master Artemis to help you feel more comfortable accessing and listening to your inner guidance system. Our stone for today is Blue Quartz which promotes happiness and well being as it enhances our self reliance.




Blessings for a magickal day!
