Today’s Message:Taking it All In
722: Your path is like a road trip. It consists of many sights and attractions, some good and some bad. We encounter bumps, potholes, and roadblocks mixed in with some truly breathtaking and inspiring scenery. We even find side paths that lead us on a merry chase all the while teaching us valuable lessons along the way. However, in order to grow, we need to keep moving forward, even though this road trip doesn’t come with a map. This requires focus on our desired destination, even if we’re not quite sure how to get there. The key is to stay strong and believe in yourself. Today the Angels are reminding us that life is full of unlimited possibilities and we have unlimited potential. You are an amazing being who is worthy of the best the Universe has to offer!
Today’s Spirit Helpers include:
Archangel Chamuel helps us in regards to relationships. This includes the one we have with ourselves and our own spiritual nature. he helps us to build a strong foundation from which we can create our personal evolution.

The Ascended Master Solomon helps us to take what we are given and make the most of it. He teaches us how to do things more efficiently as he guides us through difficult situations. Focus and efficiency help us in our quest for personal evolution and help create the necessary stepping stones we need to move ahead.
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!”
Today’s Sacred Stones include:
Ametrine. This stone, a combination of amethyst and citrine, helps to release blocks like negative emotional programming. It also encourages growth while helping us to explore all possibilities and find the creative solutions that are needed to make the most of the information we are given.

Spirit Library: Let the Light In (a message from Kate Spreckley)
The swirling, overwhelming energies of this year have been supporting us in releasing lifetimes of energetic programming and patterning. The internal shifts and transformations we have and continue to experience are rippling through the sea of our collective consciousness bringing a profound awakening.
Many Pagans work with spirits – often, this is focused on ancestral spirits, or even spirit guides. Typically, these types of spirits are rooted in our belief that each human being has a soul or spirit that lives on long after their physical body has left.
MBG: How To Bottle Up Potent Lunar Energy By Making Your Own Moon Water
Full moons are intense times of culmination. Moon water is a tool that can amplify that energy even more: It’s simply water that has had time to sit under the light of the full moon and soak up some of its power. Here’s your beginner’s guide to brewing it and use it during the next full moon.
What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez –
Remembering Our Way Forward
“Perspective has carried me through a year that has been marked by the pandemics of Covid-19 and racism, political strife, and an escalating climate crisis. Ive held close as gently as possible reliable truisms: Change is the only constant. Life tends toward life. I affirm: I’m not alone. In the end, death comes to us all I have only to decide how to live life now. Showing up for myself, for others, and for what I care about with all my human imperfectness makes me more alive. I ask myself: What is the opportunity? What remains true?” More in this piece from Gratefulness.org. { read more }

Do you ever struggle with the meaning of your existence? Do you feel lost? Does the question, “Why am I here?” take away your peace?
During COVID-19, you got a break from your daily routine (and probably felt useless).
These times made me restless too. My existence felt confusing. The disturbance pushed me to seek emotional and material shelter in the form of: eating (mostly junk food), gossiping, shopping, and scrolling through social media for hours.

EarthSky News: Full moon, faint eclipse, November 29-30
In North America, we often call the November full moon the Beaver Moon or Frosty Moon. In the Southern Hemisphere, where it’s the opposite time of year, the November full moon is a fixture of the spring season rather than of autumn. But no matter where you live worldwide, this November 2020 full moon shines directly in front of the constellation Taurus the Bull, and presents the third and final full moon of this Northern Hemisphere autumn or Southern Hemisphere spring.
Patheos-Pagan: Gardnerian Wicca: Outdated and Debunked?
Recently, an Instagram follower asked me an excellent question. They asked, “What would you say if someone told you that Gardnerian Craft is, in part, based on almost outdated and debunked academic books on witchcraft?” What a loaded question! But a good one, nonetheless.

Inner Journey: FOLLOW YOUR OWN PATH
“Life is complex. Each one of us must make his own path through life. There are no self-help manuals, no formulas, no easy answers. The right road for one is the wrong road for another … The journey of life is not paved in blacktop; it is not brightly lit, and it has no road signs. It is a rocky path through the wilderness.” — M. Scott Peck
We each have our own pathways to develop both personally and spiritually. They are based on our character and past experiences. No one else can identify our paths for us. Tune in to your inner guidance system and follow its direction.
“What every man needs, regardless of his job or the kind of work he is doing, is a vision of what his place is and may be. He needs an objective and a purpose. He needs a feeling and a belief that he has some worthwhile thing to do. What this is no one can tell him. It must be his own creation.” — Joseph M. Dodge

Industry “There is no substitute for hard work.”
-Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931)
Good advice from someone who knows! We can take Edison’s word for it because we know he worked hard. And we know the work he did produced some amazing results! But, Edison didn’t just work hard; he worked smart. He was organized, and had a plan, and he didn’t give up

Daily Tarot:Wheel of Fortune
It could be hard to sit still today and every little distraction may look more like an invitation to take a break or start the next thing. Get a lot done anyway by concentrating on short tasks and short conversations. A checklist helps keep things smooth and organized. Afterward, maybe take a nice long walk, stretch those legs, and shake the day’s dust off your shoulders

About Cat’s Morning Bits: These daily post are reblogged from various email newsletters that I receive each day.
A spiritual journey is unique to the individual. There may be similarities and we may even walk the same path together for a time. Eventually our path branches out and we find ourselves walking alone or even with someone new. Remember, that you do not need to be religious to be spiritual and that embracing your spiritual nature is part of self care. The voice that matters most on your journey is yours. If it ignites yours spark, brings you peace or simply makes you feel good then you are headed in the right direction!

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.
I would rather be ashes than dust!I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blazethan it should be stifled by dry rot.I would rather be a superb meteor,every atom of me in magnificent glow,than a sleepy and permanent planet.The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.I shall use my time.”Jack London

July’s Theme: Pay attention to your path. Spirit is speaking to you so get ready to receive some important guidance. If something compels you to take action this is the time to go for it!
Find your balance and stand with it.Find your song and sing it out.Find your cadence and let it appear like a dance.Find the questions that only you know how to ask andThe answers that you are content to not know.– Mary Anne Radmacher
77: We know from past readings that our path is unique. We also know that we are the only ones who know the scope of our dreams and what we need to be fulfilled. Today, the angels are giving us a little advice. “Stand your ground where your path is concerned.” There will always be people, including loved ones, who will try to push you in a different direction. This can happen for various reasons like fear, greed, or simply because they think they know what’s best for you. If you know with every fiber of your being that your path doesn’t go that direction bless the situation with love and keep moving forward. The key is to honor their concern for you, by sifting through the information, consider what has merit and file away or discard the rest.

MBG: How To Surrender To Divine Timing (Even When It Feels Impossible)
The universe often knows the ideal time to bring something into your life. The problem is that our earthly ego isn’t always privy to this divine timeline and can get frustrated when something takes longer than expected, just as the ego can get scared when something shows up before we feel ready. Below are some things to keep in mind about divine timing when you’re trying to manifest anything.
Up until the 1800s people would pull grass out of their lawns to make room for dandelions and other useful weeds like chickweed, malva, and chamomile.

Spiritual Unite: Are You Connected To Someone’s Soul?
How do you know when you are connected to someone’s soul? It is the most common question asked by the people who are connected to the soul of someone. They ask this question because they are feeling something different in their lives that they haven’t experienced before. People mostly want to know the answer when they meet their soulmate.
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. ~ Confucius
Daily Thought: Never be afraid to fail. It is your failure that is the testament to your life well lived. If you have no failures the fear would be that you have not tried to succeed at your dreams, hopes, or aspirations. Use your falling as a demarcation to the growth and tenacity of never giving up on who you know your best self to be.
Daily Practice:The challenge today is to not give up. Keep moving through a difficult situation, thought, or event until you come to a positive resolution. Work through the anxiety, or fear that you can�t do it. Keep moving forward and remind yourself that there is no such thing as being a failure. There is only the choice to stop.
Have a Great Day and Believe in Yourself!

Patheos-Pagan: Solas Bhride: A Goddess Speaks Softly in Many Forms
Of all the trip-related posts, this one has been the hardest to write.
Part of that is the realization that the trip posts haven’t been very well read. A few of you really like them, but they can be hard to relate to for people who haven’t been to Ireland or who aren’t planning a trip there. I write them anyway, to serve as a reference for future pilgrims and tourists, and also because I’m a storyteller – I can’t not tell my stories.
“If you see your path laid out in front of you — Step one, Step two, Step three — you only know one thing… it is not your path. Your path is created in the moment of action. If you can see it laid out in front of you, you can be sure it is someone else’s path. That is why you see it so clearly.”
— Joseph Campbell
What? No one to follow? Now that’s a scary thought!
And yet, that’s what life asks each of us to do – to chart our own path. We are each unique. We’re told our uniqueness is our gift to the world. And so why would we even want to follow in someone else’s footsteps?
Can we trust ourselves to carve our own trail?
“To know how to choose a path with heart is to learn how to follow intuitive feeling.”
— Jean Shinoda Bolen

A Note from the Universe
Please don’t be afraid. Not even a little. Not ever. The lions and tigers and bears can’t really hurt you. You live in a world of smoke and mirrors where there’s only the illusion that you could somehow become less than the greatest you’ve ever imagined yourself to be.
And it’s this very image, the highest from within you, that’s summoned your boldest dreams, daring you into the light with their promised rewards and drawing you through the very fears that have kept you from it.
Slayer of dragons. Matador of all time and space. Rightful heir to heaven on earth. Don’t be afraid. Not even a little.
Amen,
