Your Interpretation: Cat’s Angel Message for June 28, 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 facts, only interpretations. – Friedrich Nietzsche

628: As we prepare to enter the last days of June we are given a gentle reminder about keeping faith in ourselves and in Spirit. Strengthen your belief that miracles happen and that problems are illusions that we can work around. Use your powers of perspective today and see things in a positive light even if things don’t quite work out as planned. Today the Universe is reminding us that our needs are being met and that we are safe and cared for. Rely on your faith to help you find your patience and allow divine timing to work itself out. If things don’t go our way we can still find that ONE good thing and add it to our “puzzle”. It’s a starting point or a piece of the foundation you are building, either way use it to keep you moving forward and upward!

Archangel Uriel gives us essential information that we need when we need it. This assists us during the manifestation process by enhancing our problem solving skills so that we can make the decisions that are best for our current situations. The Ascended Master Maitreya teaches us that laughter and joy creates the positive energy we need to propel us forward. It helps us to let go stress and worry, which allows the light of faith and hope to shine through. And, the Hawaiian Goddess Pele helps us to create the energy needed to make our goals happen. She says “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!”

Our Sacred Stones for today include: Green Calcite which works on the mental level and assists us in letting go of beliefs and patterns that no longer serve us but that we continue to hang onto out of habit and encourages divine flow into your life with ease and harmony. Blue Quartz helps us to understand our spiritual nature which is where our faith and patience dwell, it also brings hope as it calms the mind.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

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

Posted on June 14, 2019 by Cat

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

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.

Learn & Grow: Cat’s Angel Message for May 27, 2019

May’s Theme: This month brings changes into your life. While change sometimes feels scary, it is a necessary thing for our overall growth. Be willing to embrace it and allow it to happen naturally and get ready for better things!

The less I take the difficulties of my life as personal affront, and the more I use them as an opportunity to learn and grow… the easier I sleep at night. – Mary Anne Radmacher

527: We are counting down the final days of May and we are being reminded about the power of faith. Faith is inherent to every religion and spiritual path. The only thing it requires is belief in the power that is yours and the power of Spirit. Through our faith we can make things better and create new and wonderful things. We have been working with change this month and that work is never easy, however it is through change that we continue to grow. The stronger your faith is in yourself and the divine the more empowered you become. The Universe is reminding us ” Embrace your faith today and step into your role as a co-creator. With this leap you are better able to see and appreciate the new direction your path is taking!

Since faith requires courage, should you find yourself lacking in that area then Archangel Michael is your go to angel. He helps us to see the best in ourselves by boosting our feelings of worthiness and self esteem. If increasing your faith is what you need then the Ascended Masters Moses, Jesus, El Morya can help to restore our overall faith. The Hindu bodhisattva White Tara provides a gentle energy which helps us to approach things with a focus on divine love and prayer. She tells us “Come and sit beside me. I will help ease the worry in your heart and teach you how to replace it with gratitude and joy. This is where faith dwells and we must only open the doors and invite it forward.”

Our Sacred Stones include the following: The humble Agate is the perfect one for grounding and balancing our energies. It also helps by raising our consciousness to access our higher self and promoting the awareness and acceptance of who we are and where we want to go in life. It nurtures our spiritual growth and inner strength by helping us to the most of our life experiences. Peridot brings new levels of awareness as it promotes growth and necessary change. It helps to sharpen the mind and enhances our self confidence. Peridot can teach us to look back at the past and find the gifts that are hidden within our experiences and then shows us the path to forgiveness and moving forward. And Iron Pyrite which dissolves feelings of inadequacy and helps us to open up our unique abilities and helps to unlock our full potential.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

The Inner You: Cat’s Angel Message for May 15, 2019

Everything you say and do, is a reflection of the inner you. – Anonymous

515: We all have the power to change our lives for the better. The power of positive thought and perspective are powerful things, and by using them we can effectively create new opportunities and open the door to new growth and blessings. The angels are reminding us today that we are a reflection of our thoughts. If we surround ourselves with negativity then that’s what we will see and draw. However when we embrace a positive outlook the Universe sends good things our way. Since we are working with changes this month it’s a great time to give your inner garden some extra “positive nutrients”. You are worthy of receiving all the blessings the Universe has to offer so don’t be stingy with your positive intent…… now go and create something awesome!

One of our helpers for today is Archangel Jophiel. As the angel of beauty Jophiel helps us to see and feel the beauty around us. She tells us that by allowing ourselves to really appreciate beauty we can manifest, create and attract more into our lives. Positive (beautiful) thinking leads to positive outcomes in all that you do. 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. And the Hindu goddess Lakshmi helps us to make decisions that are best suited for planning for the future. She says, ” You are worthy of so many wonderful things! Let me help you to clear the way so that these gifts can be given to you. Make room and feel the lightness it creates within your spirit.”

Our Sacred Stones for today include: Larimar which help to provide mental clarity. It teaches us that by learning to go with the flow navigating change is easier which allows us to meet challenges with positive energy and intent. We can also use Citrine to help us sift through information and analyze situations so that we can move forward with positive intent. Citrine also helps us go with the flow and encourages us to explore all options so that we can make the best decisions for our journey.

Discovery and Adventure: Cat’s Angel Message for May 5, 2019

Discovery and Adventure: Cat’s Angel Message for May 5, 2019

Choose what lies in the shadows to be a matter for discovery and adventure, rather than fear. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie

55: When Change shows up at your house in his beat up truck and tells us to get in you better buckle up because we’re going for a ride baby! To clear the way and make and room start by letting go of a few things that are no longer working for you or that you have outgrown. (People, activities, thoughts, old resentments etc.) Start small and work up from there. This makes it easier to tackle the larger things later if we keep in mind that things are connected and by picking apart the big things it makes them easier to let go of. Now give these things over to the angels, then visualize packing up all the old things into a bag and tossing it off a bridge. I kid you not this visualization is truly empowering! The clearing away process creates the necessary space for better things. Remember, you deserve good things and life is too short to hang on to things that no longer bring you peace and joy!

Archangel Jeremiel oversees life changes and helps us to let go of what we no longer need. 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 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. And the Roman goddess Vesta, who oversees hearth and home. She helps us to clear space (both in our physical home and our inner home) to make room for new things and teaches us the value of letting go of what we no longer need. ” If something does not make your heart sing put it where it belongs or set it free. This will clear your inner and outer sacred space. Then open the doors and invite the new blessings inside.”

Our Sacred Stones for today include the following: Use Agate to ground and balance your energy. It also helps by raising our consciousness to access our higher self and promoting the awareness and acceptance of who we are and where we want to go in life. It nurtures our spiritual growth and inner strength by helping us to the most of our life experiences. Labradorite which is a companion crystal to change. It gives strength and helps us to persevere, and Peridot which brings new levels of awareness as it promotes growth and necessary change. It helps to sharpen the mind and enhances our self confidence and it can teach us to look back at the past and find the gifts that are hidden within our experiences and then shows us the path to forgiveness and moving forward.

The Only Limits: Cat’s Angel Message for April 28, 2019

The Only Limits: Cat’s Angel Message for April 28, 2019

April Theme: We are being challenged to change ourselves. You have the power to make things happen and the Universe is on your side.

The only limits in our life are those we impose on ourselves. – Bob Proctor

428: Abundance comes in many forms (material gain, money, friends, love, and necessities) to name a few . However, quite often we find ourselves concentrating on only a single form of abundance. The key to true abundance lies in being open to it and inviting ALL forms into your life. While we all need specific help at times staying open will always serve us best. The Angels are telling us ” Do not place limits and conditions on our requests. These things keep us from supplying you with the steady flow of abundance that we are capable of providing.” By staying open and allowing ourselves to receive we find that we are richer on all levels which makes us more complete. Reap the benefits of your request by simply asking for blessings of abundance on all levels!

Archangel Raziel helps us to manifest prosperity and abundance. His helpers include: Barakiel: Brings good fortune and helps us to open our hearts to receive. Gadiel: Help us to release negativity and provides direction. Gamaliel: Brings gifts, blessings and abundance. Pathiel: Helps to open the gates of positive manifestation. The Ascended Master El Morya guides us through making decisions that affect our path. This includes areas concerning prosperity and abundance. And the Hindu god Ganesh also brings abundance as he helps to remove the obstacles in our way, both the ones that pop up and the ones we create for ourselves. He reminds us, He tells us “Never be afraid to move forward or to let go of what no longer serves you or brings you joy.” While doing this may seem difficult or even impossible you effort will produce beneficial cleansing and healing.”

Our Sacred Stones for today include: Sunstone to encourage the flow of abundance, Zincite attracts abundance o both the physical and spiritual levels. If you are into Feng Shui place Hawk’s Eye in your wealth corner and Cinnabar attracts abundance while helping us to prosper in our endeavors.

Dear Ones,

Many of you complain to the Universes that the 5D or beyond skills we promised you are not coming to fruition, that we or you made a mistake.

Even though such is not so, that is what you wish to believe. For without that belief, you will need to expose yourself to the masses. Something you have avoided for numerous 3D lives

ThoughtCo: Lilac Magic & Folklore
Fortune, flirtation, and fragrance, all rolled into one!

Lilacs are lovely and fragrant, and in the late spring and early summer, you’ll probably notice their distinct, heady scent whenever you’re near one. Unfortunately, they only bloom for a very short period–just a couple of weeks, depending on where you live–so if you’re going to take advantage of their magical properties, you’ve got a pretty brief window of time to harvest the flowers. They typically appear between Beltane and Litha, the summer solstice, but again, there will be some variations depending on your planting zone.

Tetraktys: Beltane Weaving Ritual for Solitary Witches – How to Cast a Witch’s Ladder Spell

Beltane is a festival of fertility, seduction, love, and sensuality. When we think about this Sabbat, we often picture a big bonfire with a lot of people dancing, drinking and feasting together. But if you are a solitary witch, it might seem strange to celebrate it by yourself. So today, I am sharing with you a solitary Beltane ritual taken from my own Book of Shadow

Inner Journey:

Soul lives in connection

“We all seek Soul. While Soul is always present, it doesn’t appear in our lives automatically. Soul requires our attention and reflection. Offering our respectful regard to the Soul is a way of loving it, caring for it, nurturing it.”
— Benjamin Shield and Richard Carlson

How do we experience soul in our lives?

It’s so simple! STOP AND PAY ATTENTION! Soul lives in connection. Whenever we are present and conscious, soul emerges.

To easily experience soul, find something you love to do and immerse yourself in it. Consciously savour a favourite piece of music. Consciously enjoy a walk in nature. Really experience your breathing and the pounding of your heart as you exercise. Really be present to your partner, your kids, your pet or another, and you will know the contentment of soul.

“I think that whenever soul is present, it’s because what you’re doing, whom you’re with, where you are, evokes love without your thinking about it. You are totally absorbed in the place or person or event, without ego and without judgment.”
— Jean Shinoda Bolen

I guess this is another way of saying that your work speaks for itself. But I think it means more than that, too. It means that when we put the best of ourselves into something, we know it – it shows. And even if no one else can see it, we can be proud of our efforts.

Follow Where It Leads: Cat’s Angel Message for April 15, 2019

April Theme: We are being challenged to change ourselves. You have the power to make things happen and the Universe is on your side.

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. – Louisa May Alcott

415: We all aspire to a better and higher quality of life. Our hopes and dreams come to fruition through our thoughts and beliefs. In order to have the life we desire we must be willing to do what is necessary to make it happen. This includes making the necessary changes and choices that help us in our creation and manifestation processes. Remember that the angels are here to help us, although they will not do it all for us. To start this process the angels ask that we turn over any limiting thoughts that we have about ourselves and our future. They are also reminding us that we are powerful creators and that the only limits are the ones we put on ourselves. By having faith in yourself and in the abundance of the universe you will see that your power and potential are truly limitless!

Archangel Jeremiel 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 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 rediscover talents that we had set aside, which will help us to move forward. And, the Hawaiian goddess Pele reminds us, “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!”

Our Sacred Stone for today is Moonstone sometimes referred to as the stone of new beginnings. It helps bring about necessary changes while soothing the emotions and helping to release energy blocks. It is also connected to our intuition and reminds us that just as the moon waxes and wanes so do beginnings, endings and times of change.

Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Happy Wednesday,

Blessings come into our lives all the time. They come in all shapes and sizes. They can be in your face or they can sneak up on you and take you by surprise. Our thought for today reminds us that good things and blessings should not be ignored particularly if they aren’t exactly what we hoped for. Each small blessing is part of the whole. Like a puzzle, they fit together and create what we have been working towards. Keep collecting the pieces and keep building. You’ve totally GOT this!

Spirituality & Health: Fall in Love with Being Single
BY KATHRYN DRURY WAGNER

The feast of St. Valentine is February 14th, a day when all things heart-shaped and chocolate-covered are celebrated. Valentine’s Day can rub some people the wrong way, especially if they are single in a culture that is bent on making everyone part of a “happy couple.” Being single, however, has many perks. Let’s look at some of the reasons to embrace being single, if you happen to be.

Come on out of the doghouse—there’s a party in the pen! As we celebrate the Chinese (Lunar) New Year this February 5, 2019, the Year of the Earth Pig begins, kicking off the night before with the Lunar New Year’s Eve on February 4. After two intense years, this convivial cycle gives us a chance to “rest and digest.” The pregnant pause of 2019 might even help us make some sense of all the global mudslinging that’s been going around. Serenity now?

Daily Good: On Defining Spirit

“What then is the spiritual? I find it difficult to define directly. It’s much easier to say what it isn’t that what it is. For example — the spiritual is often confused with the moral, but it’s not the moral. Morality is concerned with issues of right and wrong. Although often attributed to the “godhead”, it actually has a social basis and reflects a social tradition or consensus. What is considered moral varies from culture to culture and from time to time within the same culture.
