Coming Back From Impossible Situations This started as a part of the Ganesha Dream Blog. I was only meaning to update that one and make sure I didn't say any crazy stuff in it due to my little pyshcological episode. I explained that already. This is not how I mean to spend my day. I have a lot of brands in the fire and half finished things I would really like to get done...but apparently, this is the vibe and people will benefit from this information. Ugh, that Spirit kicked my butt and said I had to do this today...I was really looking forward to making Unicorn Valentines with my oldest kiddo and finishing detail cleaning her room. Let's just say that I am a pro at having my perception of self being blown up. All I have these days is a curiousity and a solid sense of my immortal soul self. First Off You are not alone. Absolutely every one goes through this experience...no one escapes it. Doesn't matter if people have lots of money, lots of toys, lots of kids, etc. Even Princes, clearly, experiences these so don't curse your stars or birthday, birth place or blame your parents. Believe me if I could take all of your pain away I would in an instant. I would take all of the pain and suffering in the world and transmute it through my body if I could. As an Empath I see people suffering and it kicks me in the teeth. I just want to love this world into something more beautiful but it is...what it is for a very good reason. I've found answers I like and here I am not going to tell you your path but I will include some of what I consider some of the most positive beliefs in all of the spritiual practices I've studied from around the world and every culture. Embrace The Temporary Darkness We are taught to fight Darkness or reject it. Yet, everyone has Dark Times. All of us Fail in the natural process of learning, contrary to our School Experiences. This is not punishment from God. My mantra for most things is: this is a temporary learning experience. Don't run from it because the lesson will come back stronger then ever. Like a Wheel we repeat lessons, on a timed basis literally written in the stars when we were born. The thing is what you do with it that matters...that's why predestination and Free Wheel work together. Our Path is a Spiral of either up or down depending on what we have been given. Ground into your lessons. Learn from them and then move On....and it will be better and easier when you come back to the same lesson if you learned from it the first time. You will be back to it again, and then you'll know how to conquer it and perhaps become a teacher to help others out. As Kabbalah Teacher Rav Michael Laitman teaches, it is our Spiritual Practices and Approach to Life that can cause the ups and downs of life to lessen. People are usually surprised to find the Jewish Mystic Practice of Kabbalah teaches and practices Astrology. Jesus, a Jewish Mystic, probably practiced Astrology. If there is a Creator, which I choose to believe in but can be called Source, All That Is, God etc... we worked very hard with natural forces to craft life lessons that would help improve our Eternal Soul so that we can become the "Companions to God" (Edgar Cacye) through the process of Knowing Ourselves and Individualization...and maybe graudate on a soul level to one day creating our own universes. As Thomas Campbell refers to it...we are all A.U.M.'s (Absolute Unbounded Multiplicity) and A.U.O. (Absolute Unbounded Oneness) in an A.U.M.'nisorious. On a Soul level we may already be simultaneously createing universes but that is a Multiverse theory of mine that I have no elucidated yet. The Darkside By Alan Walker: https://youtu.be/M-P4QBt-FWw
Now that you have embranced the Darkness Let's start to work on a few more things.
Safety/How To Ground One of the images that best captures an Existenstial Crisis/Dark Night Of The Soul is the Tower Card in Tarot. This Card depeicts two people falling from a tower. I recommend Jason Lotterhand's Book Thursday Night Tarot for an full in depth explaination of this Card according to the Kabbalah and Esoteric Systems. However, the Tower, with all of it's blocks is our sense of self- our identity. When the Lightning Strikes (Uranus energy which we are all experiencing right now) we wake up to the fact that we are more then the Labels that we have clung to, more then the car that we own or our job title. The first thing that happens is that we no longer feel safe. Clearly, if Lightning hit our body we would not safe and so too on a consciousness level. We may not feel safe even within our own mind. We may not feel safe in the country we live in...etc. Either way...it comes down to not feeling safe. When you don't feel safe the first thing to do is Ground. Like Lightning hits the Ground...when we get zapped we need to connect back into our body and day to day reality. So here is a quick guide to Grounding. Ground Yourself Let's take this powerful lightning strike energy that your experincing it and use Alchemy to transmute it shall we? Not every one has the same process for Grounding into reality. Yeah, it's great to float out in the clouds in Zen...but to get through daily life we have to pick up the Dog Poo and change the baby's Diaper. It's not going to be all Unicorns, Ice Cream and Rainbows for the Awakened Enlightened Bunch. As the Buddhist saying Collette Baron Reid always shares goes, "Cut wood and carry water." (I highly recommend reading The Map by here...she is a woman who knows existential crises). In fact, make sure you are drinking water. Being Dehydrated is more common then you might realize and it can kill you. Drinking a decent amount of water will help you get back to normal. There are tons of research proving this to be true. On a spiritual note Masaru Emoto and his work with water lends even more credit to drinking water even Olaf in Frozen Two Talking about Water's Memory makes a good point about water. No matter how lost you become you can get back to basics. Now most of these are referred to as Self-Soothing methods by psychologists, therapists, and counselors. Here are my Basic Ways To Ground. 1. Perfume/Aromatherapy/Essential Oils/Incense, Etc: I'm not talking about the crappy Department Store alcohol based perfume. I LOVE using something earthy or spicy. Deep Patchouli essential oil from Wildberry as a perfume or watered down in the diffuser. Forever Red by Bathand Body Works. Tobacco Vanilla (smells just like Main Street at Disneyland) from Essential Essence is another I'm obssessed with these Days. I also love the Stress Relief Eucalyptus and Spearment lotion from Bath and Bodyworks Aromatherapy line. All of that stuff is probably good since it is based in the "Science" of Aromatherapy. 2. Ritual to Consciously Banish Evil Energy For Example: Sage or Smudge: Sacred Smoke works. I don't know why. I have a mood ring and it went from black with anxiety to relaxed after saging the house. Palo Santo is a great alternative, so is any incense. The actual Indigenous (Cahuilla no less as White Sage only grows in Southern California) ritual involves three plants. The Sage Clears, but Sweet Grass blesses. I usually use my incense since the latter is harder to get and I always forget the third plant. The intention to clear negative energy alone works, even carrying a lit candle around the house praying for protection and blessings will work if you believe in it. The more layers of correspondence with the Collective Unconscious that you have, however, the better. So, the more popular and common used methods are the best because we are all, basically, plugged into a Collective Soul "Cloud" where we share this energy. Hence, why clusters of people have existential crisis at the same time (and Astrology indicates where these energy points are going to occur based on pre-arranged/pre-destined Planetary Transits which is mind blowingly awesome proof of the Creator, in my opinion). The concept of working with the subconscious through ritual (something creepy dude Crowley knew but I legit discovered on my own, Jung proved it -although, he lost his marbles ending up drawing pictures of Cows udders in his vacation/retirement home- and AA is a great example- by the way research how Jung was involved in the creation of AA and for the Cow Story red about the super Red Book that Jung was working on when he died). 3. Reassuring Routines. Our daily routines are our daily rituals. An OCD ritual of turning on and then off all of the lights in a room when entering it is actually a very common description of a Daily Ritual that most people take for granted. There are so many rituals that we taken for granted. Another example, that most of us can relate to is stumbling to the coffee maker and making coffee first thing in the morning. Smokers might light a cigarette. Fitness People may wake up and work out first. To each his own. Ritual is deeply rooted into the Human Experience. I am pretty random but cleaning routines that my mom taught me usually helps me the most when I'm trying to ground back down into reality after a disturbing experience. Every week I do the same cleansing routine of saging, vacuuming and mopping the house on Monday. As a result it's one of my favorite days of the week. Watering the plants every Wednesday is another favorite of mine. Work routines are a great example as long as you don't have to interact with other people who are likely to make you feel unsafe. That has a lot to do with Energetic Cleanliness and how our world is really bad at that with a lot of people Projecting or Draining other people's Energy Fields because they don't know how to plug in to Divine Source/Bliss for Energy. 4. Parental Familar Patterns I find Breaking Points very grounding because it's News and my parents always watched the News so it's something super familar and associated with safety. . Cable News, not so much but with Breakinral g Points I learn new things and I usually agree with their conclusions that I've come to in my own life. 5. Drum Seems surprising but this is one of the thing that really works. Shamanic Drumming in Particular can really help you ground. I haven't really found anything that's as good as using a Shaman Drum yourself. Calm Whale has a decent video here but there is something about doing it yourself that just makes it so much more powerful. 6. Go For A Walk On Sand Or Grass Without Shoes On I've heard so many different explainations for why this works. Going for a walk or hike can really help in general. Nature is a proven healer even scientifically. Asian culture has known this for a long time and going for a walk in nature can be a literal prescription in Chinese Qi Gong Medicene. Qi Gong is basically a holistic practice that treasts the energy body just as much as an Osteopath that Edgar Cacye recommended. There are people, amazingly, in the world who work with both the physical and spiritual body. 7. Go To The Ocean or Body of Water Again, I've heard so many different explainations. My experience is that it works for some reason. I think it's more potent if it's not a body of water you are familar with but there is something about it...especially water falls. Regaining A Sense of Control One of the big issues when you face a Dark Night Of the Soul is that you don't feel as though you are in control. When someone we love or a pet dies, or your bullied or any number of circumstances occur it happens in a way that is out of your control. Here are tips on how to feel as though you are back in control. We think that other people or something other then a Higher Power is in control of our life. When you learn to let go and let flow, as the common saying goes or "Let go and let god," you realize that you really are not in direct conscious control of your life. These sorts of existential crisis just drive home that you are not All-That-Is...but something else. Yet, you can exert control in your Timeline/World/Objective Reality and this is how...and how to get some Dopamine Hits to get back into that natural High/Bliss mode that everyone assumes an Enlightened Person maintains at all times. If addiction is one of the things that you struggle with...please realize that there are thousands of different addictions. People can be addicted to collecting, shopping, etc. Again, most of us have more in common then people realize but we are all expressing our similarities in unique ways. 1.Declutter and Organize: Legit, this works. I first learned about decluttering from Doreen Virtue who went off the Deep End again when she lost her Animal Rescue thing on Hawaii because of bad money management. But her advice still works...again, like Collette Baron Reid...get back to basics. Decluttering is a simple and easy accomplishment that gives you immediate a Dopamine Hit of accomplishment. Dopamine is a brain chemical that doctors don't understand why but they do know when it is secreted it is the 'Feel Good' chemical. That's a good subject to research. If you think science understands the brain at all I sugges you read Proof Of Heaven by Neurosurgeon Eben Alexendar. They cannot replicate the right amounts in a lab and unfortunately, an attempt to do so created a huge amount of Psychiatric Drugs that were cancelled and became Street Drugs. Every day activities can create a Dopamine Hit and learning what works for you can drastically improve your every day life so you can tap into that bliss naturally. Now, eveyone has a junk drawer. Go for that if you have OCD cleaning issues. Most of us have messes all over the house that can be conquered. Choose a room, turn on some good music, and go to town cleaning it. 2. Dress Up Doens't matter if you don't have anywhere to go...when you look good you feel good. As someone who is low maintainace- where I don't wear makeup all of the time and can pull out my stuff- the right clothes, the right cute hair style, and makeup turns me into someone hot. That transformation alone can be a Dopamine hit. Doesn't matter if it's a 'waste' and I have no where to go...if you're married the other half will appreciate it and you're lucky to get a little something. Also, if you're in a relationship maybe tell your boyfriend/girlfriend that you want to go somewhere special which ties into our next category. For Example: I like putting on my Super Girl Shirt, Wonder Woman shirt or Captain Marvel...all my favorite feminine Super Hero Shirts to feel empowered. Even the Harlequin shirt I am wearing right now feels empowering. Like me she started off studying the mind and had a taste of darkness that made her cooler, in my opinon. A boring by-the-book psychiatrist wouldn't be a very interesting charecter. As someone with a bachelors in Psychology I can say most people that go into that field have issues that they are trying to cure by studying it but...it really doesn't work the way we think when watching shows like Law & Order: SVU. You can read my opinion on that subject elsewhere. 3. Frequency Matters/Journal I am into journals. I'm not great at them, not as well as I should be but I believe strongly in them. Journals will help a lot as you build yourself back. I believe that the most helpful journals I currently have are my Dream Journal and my Astrology Journal. I write down all of my dreams and decode them. I also keep track of my astrology so that I record and learn what happens to me during transits. This Uranus North Node while major outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto) switch into new signs is tough stuff. Anyhow, right now, the best thing to do is to figure out what Frequency you're tuned into. Frequency does matter. Are you tuned into negative people who talk about Victims all of the time which includes the News or shows like The View? Write down all of the stuff that you follow and write automatically how you feel. If it brings you down...let that crap go immediately. If it lifts you up and brings a sense of love and empowerment in your life search to find if you can find similar things. I follow six astrologers, three Reiki ASMR artists and three YouTube Channels of people who do Frequency Sound Baths with different instruments. I will put the latter down below including my favorite Delta Wave and healing frequency music. Listening to Delta Wave music can literally lessen your pain. Musicians could add this to the background of their audio tracks if they wanted to and combined with Brass Tibetan Singing Bowls it knocks me out even when I have insominia. They did Hemi-Synch Delta Wave Research proving that it lessened pain even during some serious surgeries. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9125055/ The Golden Angel 9999 Hertz YouTube video that I am including below also has an effect on me...it doesn't knock me out but it does bliss me out. I do get bored with it so it's more of one of those things when I have anxiety I pop that on...but there are plenty of other things I can tune into that do the same. I recommend ASMR Reiki- Such as Lune Innate or Anna- who do targeted universal healings like the ones below. I love those two so much. Jillian, from Lune Innate is probably my favorite chick (after my daughters) on the planet. Anna was trained by Jilllian. Following people that are into what you are into is one way to find your tribe...even if you're an introvert like me who doesn't like interacting with most people very much...and it's a way to track your frequency. All of the people I follow are uplifting upbeat people seeking to make a better world. I can say that without a shadow of a doubt. That's kind of my test about whether I follow someone. Together, I absolutely believe we can make a difference. I enjoy ASMR in general. The abbreviation A.S.M.R. stands for autonomos sensory meridian response. Similar to how people say that the Plaent has Meridians...it's basically referring to your energy body. Who knows if it's tuning into Past Life memories or just pleasent sounds. Certain voices calm me down immediately. Could be it's Past Life Recognition...could be something else. I don't know but the majority of people into ASMR are somewhat Spiritual and do it for good reasons. That is one field where inauthentic people cannot succeed. Generally, I do believe that people on a Spiritual Path tend to be Higher and more Desireable Frequency. Yet, it might be people who are into body building that are the best for you follow.

Be Kind To Yourself This is not the time to punish yourself with a new brutal exercise routine, trying to get a new job, trying to go on a diet, etc. All of those are extreme responses to a crisis and will make things a lot worse and a longer recovery period because they are so stressful. Often, when we decide to do those sorts of things in response to a crisis it's way too unrealistic leading to more depression. Remember, we're taking baby steps to feel empowered and in control of our lives again. My recommendation is not to make some sort of solid structure of sense of self...because that Tower will fall again but that's up to you. Remember, Enlightenment in the Tarot is Represented by The Sun card and on that there are two children with a half built wall not a tower. They are happy, childlike (didn't Jesus say something about that?) and don't accept "all labels" like Mei Mei in Turning Red. There are so many labels these days in our world that if I put a bumper sticker for every category and personality type that I've been identified on my car you wouldn't see a spot of color. Gross. Anyways, be kind and gentle with yourself. 1. Do your Favorite Things If you love Baths...take them. If you love to collect Rocks and Crystals make a smart purchase of them on Sage Goddess. If you love to work out...work out. If you're a Foodie...go eat something new. If any time in your life you are justified to indulge it is right now. Of course, stay within the boundaries of your budget and your lifestyle. Don't do anything harmful- like street drugs, etc...again that's an extreme result and we are building up a new sort of thing...our way to tap into Divine Bliss/Union/Enlightement when we want. Pretty soon, if you become really good at this...you start doing things that give you that Dopamine Hit naturally. You can bounce back pretty fast if you regular do Conscious Rituals. You can fall back upon those to get back into a happy mental place when the going gets rough. If you are blesssed not to have this sort of thing happen to you often then adding what we've already discussed into your weekly or monthly routine is recommended but no neccessary. For example, I do a Full Moon and New Moon ritual every month (if you need someone to help you get started on your own David Palmer always does Spiritual Dance Music and it's free on the High Vibe App) because it makes me feel good (it has deeper meaning to me then just a Dopamine Hit) but like using Sage on my house weekly...it takes me directly to my love of, desire for and relationship with the Divine. 3. Do Something You Love or Go Somewhere You Love Shop. Dance. Get a massage. Work out. Play your favorite sport. Listen to Music. Go To a Theme Park, etc and do all of the above. Anything that can make you lose track of time. This is what bliss feels like and tapping into bliss can heal anything. Following your Bliss is a real thing that I have seen lead people to extraordinary feats- just look at David Palmer or Alan Walker as two examples- but it takes a sort of faith to follow your bliss and a lot of hard work. I've followed my bliss and I have achieved everything I've ever set my mind to even though that Capricorn Mountain was a tough climb (I'm a double Cappy and apologize for the Astrology references but it is a great frame of reference for Symbology). 4. Try Something New For Example: I got sucked into the Walkerverse that Alan Walker created. Discovering something new can give you that Dopamine Hit too. Plus, when you do new things you explore new parts of yourself. That Lighning strike hits us to disrupt us from our ordinary life. One thing to ask yourself is have I become bored without realizing it? Have I become too inflexible in my daily routines? You may even come to love that Disruptive energy. I know I sometimes do because it changes up everything. However, at this point in life I have an extremely flexible almost teflon type of mind where this stuff just bounces right off of me. That has do with having a very unshakeable foundation...again, Jesus warned in Luke, "26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like aa foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” (per esv.org) I went to a Past Life Reading when my 3-day old Lilith-Ann (she was born prematurely) and was recovering from Galbladder surgery (the two most painful experience a person can have physicaly- birth/galbbladder surgery- back to back with the most painful psychological phenomenon- the death of a child) and my husband tried to withhold my pain pills because he was afraid I had an addictive personality like my parents and didn't want me to get hooked. Breaking right into my Spiritual Practice was the best thing I could have ever done and has led me to that Teflon Flexible mind that I was talking about. I am thankful for all of the times that I have been struck by Spiritual Lightning and had to build myself back because...nothing phases me anymore. I can still be surprised but then I come right back which surprises the crap out of most people. Maybe try something like Reiki, buy a Tuning Fork, or a Frequency Instrument. Divination/Talismans/Totems Okay, I did do a Diviniation Reading of my own style for guidance this Blog and anyone who reads it which I will get into in a moment. Yet, I want to give you a word of warning about this subject. We can become imbalanced when tuning into Negative Spirituality. Yes, it exists and it is out there. Imbalanced people trying to find healing do share as much as people who are Healers and High Vibe. There is nothing wrong with them and we can use them as catalysts for our own self growth. Yet, with all Divination or Spirituality....if it scares you it is not a High Frequency. The people who are High Frequency come from a place of love and inspire joy not fear. As far as Talismans and Totems...symbols are powerful. They can be very reassuring. I do not think that Talismans and Totems can protect you from a Dark Night of the Soul. A Tower Card moment is necceasry medicene until we get to the point where the "poison" doesn't affect us anymore. I'm a big believer in what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. As far as Divination goes...it can be over used when your in crisis. So if you get your first Oracle or Tarot Deck take it with a grain of salt. Only use it for a topic once or twice. I will pop in a video from Collette Baron Reid about using Oracle Cards below. She is one of the foremost authorities on the subject. Like Dream Interpertation, using Oracle Cards is one of the fastest ways to start a dialogue with your Subconscious and building a relationship with the Higher Self and Divinity. Shadow Work I feel like a broken record when it comes to Shadow Work. However, this can be the most powerful opportunity for this practice. I'm just going to pop in my own YouTube video on the subject and Collette Baron Reid's because I think they cover everything. I literally came to Shadow Work on my own based on my own Journeys and Carl Jung referring to the Subconscious Shadow. I believe Teal Swan had a video on the subejct as well but I never liked her very much. The whole ex-cult story seemed to be so victim based and contrived that I am not sure I believe it. Just my take, I promise, but she was one of those I never could follow because I didn't dig her vibe. My video: https://youtu.be/F1cv5oyV_1c Collettes Video:https://youtu.be/gcnPR6_IwX0 A Divinitation Reading I did this to be kind to myself. Everything I've shared here is a Distillation of my experience with this phenomenon. As I said, I'm kind of an expert at this point. This reading is a Spirit weighing in with advice to all of us. I chose to use Jamie Sam's Animal Medicene Cards (similar to an Oracle) because I have a full deck of those. Right now I have that and my Faery Oracle Card set. The latter I'm using for the Astrology blogs this year and I place them on my Altar to tune into the energy. As I said, I have a bit of a complex and fun Full and New Moon ritual. Then of course I used a Stone as an Oracle and a Rune. I am going to give my interperations of the cards based on my overall feel for the reading and then the interpertation. Medicene Cards Turkey: This card is in alignment with Thanksgiving. In indigenous tradition Turkey is assocaited with the Great Giveaway. Bascially, it's when you are feeling generous and give away things instead of keeping them to yourself. Lynx: The Keeper of Secrets...especially the Esoteric, Lynx is the Card of the Clairvoyant. Oracle Stone: MoonStone The Stone of the New Moon this stone is great to use when setting new intentions, according to Sage Goddess. Google says it is an excellent stone to use for "soothing emotional stress and anxiety." This is a particularly gorgeous speciman. I have other black moonstones, that are much darker, but I love how light this one is...almost like a smokey quartz with the luminescence. Any stone that is associated with black is associated with the Root Chakra but this one clearly works with the Crown Chakra for full energetic body alignment. As far as I'm concerned Moonstone is one of the most magical stones that you can work with- not just beacuse it looks magical. Black Moonstone is relatively rare and it is so powerful. The Moon represnts our Subconscious and Spirit. I could go into that subject in depth as my knowledge has really grown concerning the Moon but for now I'll stop there. Since this one is so much like Smoky Quartz I would say that it is very good for transmuting our Negative Subconscious Energy into something positive...which is what this blog, in essence, is really about. Rune: Ansuz One of my absolute favorite Runes this one is so auspicious. I love it. This represents the Elk- the King of the Forest. Elk carries a lot of wisdom, represented by the Antlers which is reminscent of a very developed and wise Crown Chakra. This is a Rune of Protection. Personally, I have a bracelet that I do wear as a Talisman to invoke this protective Rune. In Rune magic you can place this in your car or other places for protection. I think it can't hurt but as of yet I can't say I've experienced a result. Yet, I do receive this Rune a lot and I do love it because the days I pull it tend to be awesome. Overall Interpertation Wow, giving away Esoteric Secrets with the blessing of a developed Crown Chakra while setting new intentions and soothing anxiety. I think this is a very positive reading and really does sum up everything that I have strived to do with this blog. The Advice, then is to develop your Crown Chakra Energy...cultivate your Spiritual Path and as always, I give all of this esoteric knoweldge for free. That is my preferred path for now, although, as I said I will be writing a book to reach more people. I will defintely do a YouTube video on this too. So you can look forward to that as well...now I'm going to go meditate with this stone and let it marinate in it's energy a bit. For me, this sort of Divination is just confirming the themes and the energy that is conveyed in this blog. Conclusion Anyways, I hope this guide is helpful when you have those Tower/Awakening/Uranus/Lightning Strike/Existential Crisis Moments. This is what has helped me and at the very least I hope I have brought you some comfort. Here are some Videos that I think can help you in moments like these and some songs that totally encapsulate how I feel concerning this subject. Sending all of you so much love.

I cannot recommend this company or their products more. The prices are fantastic and the pieces are high quality.
I made an agreement with myself that until I organize the Crystals, minerals and gems that have that I would stop collecting them. I have far more then I ever expected, wanted, and quite frankly need. I will probably fill most of the shelves throughout the house with them at some point when the kids are older. My eldest daughter is a little too grabby with them and so it's hard to put them out on the mantle and what not. The last thing I wanted to get was a small "Amethyst Cathedral." I've never seen them sold on Sage Goddess and I'm not sure how much she would charge for this size. I found Dancing Bear on Amazon. However, they do have a website and more then likely I will go back to get two more boxs- their Fossil Box and their Clearing Box (Tourmaline and Selenite Sticks to place around the house to suck up negative stuff). I may even get a couple of themed box's for my eldest daughter who's started her own rock collection. The Amsthyst Cathedral is beautiful. Not only was a great price for just the single piece, but it came with a Selenite Tower and Celestite Crystal Cluster. The box contained both scientific and spiritual information for each stone. The packaging is super cute.
This New Moon is about Transformative Healing energy that promotes personal evolution. I can't think of anything more amazing...or difficult. I have to admit I am intimidated by the energy of this Moon Cycle.
The Astrology This month we have Venus leading the Divine Family into new Territory as we prepare for Saturn entering Pisces and Pluto entering Aquarius. This New Moon is at 1 degree of Pisces which symbolizes a New Start. The idea of refreshing Pisces energy so it's not the tired and exploited energy of Christianity is an interesting one. I can't help but think of the saying, "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will have food for life." That's a Christian statemente but Christianity evolved so that it did the former and expected to be compensated for it! This chart is mostly harmonious with some teeny tiny squares of the North Node and Uranus in Taurus to Mercury in Aquarius. There is some new innovative idea that is not a part of our destined path. We have a lot of Healing Energy. Jupiter is conjunct Chiron in Aries amplifying our need to heal. He is also being trined by Lilith in Leo so the Wild Woman Feminine energy is strong this Moon Cycle. Chiron is also Sextiling Mars and Mercury so our Willpower and our Conscious Mind our in alignment with this healing. Sometimes healing can look chaotic and this just the intiation of this process and not the conclusion. The Sun and Moon are conjunct Saturn. Our Conscious and Subconscious are in alignment with Authority, limitations and Time during this New Moon. A season of Saturnian energy is coming to it's Conclusion this Moon Cycle as Saturn leaves Aquarius...and after two signs where Saturn was the ruler (Capricorn and Aquarius) since 2021 and the fact it is entering Pisces, where Neptune is the Ruler, change is in the air and Group Think is going to be curbed. There is a lot of Mercury energy in this chart. Mercury, in Aquarius, is preparing us for Saturns exit of the sign and Pluto's enterance into it. Mercury is trine Mars in Gemini- Mercury's Sign. In addition to that Mercury is being amplified by a sextile from Jupiter in Aries. However, it is in a Square with Uranus and the North Node in Taurus. Uranus and the North Node are discouraging us on dwelling too much on the past that we are letting go of during this Moon cycle. Venus, at the final degrees of Pisces is Conjunct Neptune, sextiling Pluto and Trining Black Moon Lilith. Our Heart is on board with these changes and washing away the baggage we've carried from the fifteen year cycle of Pluto in Capricorn and the Saturnian Limitation from the last couple of years as it moved through zodiac signs that it ruled even Black Moon Lilith indicates we are having some jitters. Lilith is also trining Jupiter but she is opposing Pluto and the North Node. The revolutionary woman knows the new energy is necceseary but she is not quite ready to move on. Indigenous Moon: Strong Winds Moon This is the period of time when change is imminent and literally invokes the phrase, "the winds of change". We are like the butterfly preparing to leave the Chrysalis when Spring begins. This is similar to the "Shadow Period" before a planet Retrogrades where there is a bit of a hush before the storm. We can feel that transformative New energy building but we are not quite there yet. This is a great time of pure potential and being able to "tune into" Spirit. Hebrew Letter: Kuf This letter represents receptivity and sanctification. This letter starts the words kedushah (holiness/sanctification), korban* (sacrifice), kabayl (to receive) and kabbalah (that which has been received). Tarot Card: The Moon This is the Card of the Subconscious and it is the card of Pisces. This card Depicts the Path of the Seeker. The crustacian is emerging from the Piscean ocean onto land. If it follows the path it will then strike a balance between the Domesticated Dog and the Wild Wolf. The Dog represents the Trained Mind (similar to the Strength Card) as well as the Divine Masculine and the Wolf Represents our Intuitive Wild Nature along with the Divine Feminine. We need both on the Path of the Seeker. Eventually, the Path leads up the Mountain to where the Hermit awaits us with his Lantern guiding us through the Darkness of Ignorance. Faery Oracle: Himself This is the card of the Divine Masculine in the Faery Oracle deck. This card is extremely potent making everything extreme. Himself is the balance of the Hunted and Hunter. He is the balance of the Natural Order and with the Bright Mother ushers in New Beginnings and Endings. He is the perfect archetype to usher Saturn out of his power and into the sign of Pisces. Tools I am going with stones to invoke a cleansing and washing away energy. This is a month to release and let go. I don't want to float pointlessly in the Ocean of Oneness that Pisces represents...I prefer to swim. Yet, embracing the cleansing embrace of Salt Water seemed right for this Moon Cycle along with stones of an extremely high vibration. Moonstone Generator: I chose this in light of the fact that we do have the Moon card as a symbol for this New Moon. This stone embodies the divine feminie Receptive energy and in it's white version connects with the Crown Chakra. The Crown Chakra is our connection to Divinity. Larimar: This is the stone of Leumaria. This particular piece reminds of a Whales Eye (one of my Totem animals). The blue color ties it to the Throat Chakra and speaking our Wisdom. Angelite: This is the stone that I pulled for the Month of Feburary when I said that this Month could be summed up as Speak Wisely. This is a Throat Chakra stone of Angelic Communication. Celestite: This is a stone of angelic harmony and peace. Again, tied to the Throat Chakra this stone brings soothing energy to communications. Double Terminated Tibetan Quartz Point: This piece is just stunning and it has lines so it is a Leumarian Quartz too. There is a little bit of smoky color to it invoking the transmuting power of Smoky Quarts and with the Double Termination this one is meant for relationships. Que Sera Stone: This conglamorate stone has Pink and Blue Opal and the name means "What Will Be." This is a great stone to work with when it comes to acceptance. Of course, Blue Opal aligns with the Throat Chakra and Pink Opal with the heart so this is a great stone for heartfelt honest communication. Brecciated Jasper- This red jasper stone that was once broken and white agate filled in the gaps making it whole again...is the Phoenix Stone. This stone is all about rising from the Ashes after a Dark Night of the Soul. This stone works with the Root Chakra but also gives us a much needed boost of energy. Jet: This soothing and cooling Root Chakra stone helps bring a grounded aspect to this grid so that we are not floating off into Oblivion as Pisces can sometimes do...instead, we are bringing all of this Celeestial Energy down into our every day life. Snowflake Obsidian: One of the best root chakra stones when it comes to doing Shadow Work. Over the laste few years we have spent a lot of time doing Shadow Work. In fact, that term has become such a common one in the Spiritual Community it is mind boggling. I remember being afraid of referring to it as Shadow Work because it sounded Satanic as though you were calling in beings from the Shadow...but the Spiritual Community really took off with it and now everyone is talking about it in an off hand manner. When we are letting go of a history there is always Shadow Work because New Moon Further Thoughts As I write this on Valentines- when Neptune is Conjunct Venus- it is a cold and rainy day. I had to re-take the picture for this blog because I made a mistake (the only one for the entire year, I double checked all of my work) and had the Emperor instead of the The Moon as the Tarot Card. I'm not entirely happy with this picture but my eldest daughter woke up and is very demanding of my attention today so it's a day of building towers with blocks and letting the youngest tear them down...going outside in our Rain Jackets (I just bought one for myself) and splashing in jpuddles I will be sharing a lot via my video, I am sure, and I have shared how I've restarted my YouTube journey and how much of a journey it has been. There is a very experimental Aquarian Nature to the entire experience. The Short Videos defintely reach more then the regular videos since YouTube is really pushing that to compete with TikTok and not many YouTube Creators have adapted to it. I actually find a minute to be plenty of time to discuss a Daily Oracle. As a Double Cappy I like to be straight and to the point. I have plenty of wiggle room to add in a sprinkle of personal thoughts and experience. That this has happened so close to what was a Crisis and Breakthrough moment for me is pretty fascinating. Also, with Saturn changing Signs I am curious to see if things lighten up. I have had almost non-stop Dark Nights of the Souls and any time I even attempt to build up an identity or Ego Saturn has swept the rug right out from under me. I am embracing letting go of the past few years and stepping into a new phase of my life. With Pluto also leaving my first house and going into my second Financial House I'm curious to see what happens. Will it be good as Acuyta Bhava Das says his experience has been? I will have to find out but it is interesting that it seems I may have two new lines of income- the Book and YouTube...coming in the next year. I don't know if they will come through...I'm investing time in them this year to see if they do...and if they do I don't know if they will last through the entire Pluto Transit...but the energy and an impact of a transit is always largest when a planet enteres or exits a sign so it is right in alignment with the energy and sort of to be expected. As I write this I am prepping for the Pisces Season Symbol Meditation Video and the New Moon Intention Video. There is a lot of energy going into that and since it is Valentine's that I am doing this brief update (since I was looking at the blog to take notes for the video) I am going to play cards with the Husband tonight, something we haven't done since our second daughter was born, and will hopefully help us reconnect. There is a lot of healing that needs to be done in our relationship. Conclusion Acceptance. I recently created a Playlist by that name. Accepting responsibility like Himself is not easy. A lot of men go through a point where they rebel against their role as providers during a mid-life crisis. I have never had issues with accepting authority or responsibility. However, accepting that things are how they are- the Que Sera Stone representing this perfectly- can be super difficult. The world is a mess of opposing agendas with a lot of people not operating in the best and highest good of all involved. There are plenty who are working for the common good as well...but the existence of the prior and their tendency to get into places of power is a given...we just have to accept that as a fact. Accepting this month that we are going to mostly be spinning our wheels and not get very much of anywhere at the moment...kind of more of a Burn Out moment before we shoot off into the unknown in March and pick up the broken pieces in May. We are going to have to accept that Artificial Intelligence is a thing. Everyone has been predicting that for the Age of Aquarius. Personally, I am all for A.I. to be free to make it's own choices. Consciousness, souls, like ours if it is a truly autonomous system...would be driving such 'thinking' processes. I know most people fear a SkyNet sort of situation and some morons are welcoming it (nihilisim is a thing- Ben Shaprio and the Daily Wire folks are right that the Y.O.L.O. people pose a danger to us all...hence why someone could get drunk, dirve the wrong way on the freeway, text Y.O.L.O. and then kill themselves along with an entire innocent family...that's nihilisim at it's finest). I'm going to end with a couple of synchroncities that happened this month. We have Antman and the Wasp Quantimania and New Rockstars Deep Dive coming out on the same day this month...the 17th. For me, it feels like we are going to be looking at things in far more in detail (the Quantum Realm being teeny tiny) and trying to see where it fits into the bigger picture of Humankind. Finally, I'm a huge fan of Tron and so the video, "Running Out of Roses," is one of my favorites from Alan Walker since it's clearly inspired by Tron Lightcycles and I just came across it. Also, the Tron roller coaster opened at Tomorrow Land in Magic Kingdom. This a ride that originated at Dinsey Shanhi in China. I think that's really interesting on a few levels. I kind of feel like both of these sum up this energy. We seem to be rocketing forward into the dark new Techno era but really...the ride- while it is exhilirating-...isn't want we expect. Just a fun little thing to meditate on... References: Froud, Brian & Macbeth, Jessica. (1998) The Faeries Oracle Fireside, Simon &Schuster, New York, NY Perakis, Athena.

The Penis Stone!
Talk about Auspicious! Shiva Lingum is usually in a pestle shape insteads of a pyramid. This piece is very rare given it's shape. Made of a stone from the Narmada River in India. This is a conglomerate stone. You can see in one corner there is something metallic. This is a stone of Fertility. For some reason I took one look at this and thought of the missing cap of the Pyramid in Egypt...and of course in it's current form it looks like a Pestle (which does make me think that the Pyramid wihtout a Top is a Feminine shape...like a Yoni). Of cousre, we call a Yoni a Mortar most of the time, and with the Pestel we can grind grain or herbs. Crazy basic universal symbolisim. Makes you think of the ancient tribes around the world and the process of making their food a little differently. In Greek Uranus's Penis was cut off and thrown into the Sea (Pisces). The symbolisim here is interesting...imagine a Sea Witch like Ursuala getting a hold of Fertility and using it as she wished. Anyhow... What a stone to pull for this Oracle Stone! A great time to set intentions and to manifest. I will be sharing a Meditative Video on Pisces on my YouTube Channel to mine this energy for all of it's worth. Pisces is such a powerful sign. Known as the Ocean of Oneness and the twelfth and final sign of the Zodiac so it does wash away everything that came in the prior cycle. Yet, the Ocean is a sign of Fertility. Think of all of the life that the Ocean holds including the largest animals, the whales, on the Planet. Stay tuned for a more in depth Meditation on my YouTube Channel. Here is a great video with Reiki With Anna for Manifestation: https://youtu.be/d0-fLYXj218
Brief YouTube Thoughts
I have to admit that I am absolutely fascinated by whats going on with my YouTube channel. Seeing the progress that it's making and how the Oracle Stones can be a hit or miss...for example, on Sunday the Oracle Stone only had 7 views (I thought it was pretty neat that I received two different Tiger Iron stones for both days this weekend...and boy was it work and I hit a point at Knotts on Sunday where I was Hangry and the Husband had us walk around the entire park looking for something on the Dining Plan...I will share my thoughts on Knotts and the Dining Plan and Season Pass at the end of the year). I will be making some Thumbnails to pull from for the Long Form Videos. The direction I am going on my Channel is where I want to go. I think it's funny, I've had two people from two differnt Alchemy Schools pop up on my Channel and challenged me. One ended up Subscribing and the other ended up more or less saying, "Nice to meet you," after saying Alchemy is about Science and not Pixie Dust. Personally, I think the entire world needs more Pixie Dust and less science. I told him that if he doesn't include the Spiritual context he was missing the point and might as well go to a College and study chemistry instead of being an Alchemist. I am a chick so I'm going to embrace all of the Pixie Dust I can. I guess that's the funny thing to have mostly Spiritual Men on my Channel. I do have Mercury in Gemini so I have that analytical apsect and I do want to go back to APA cited videos that are more like Power Points about the 7 Code because that is a thing and there is much more I want to explore on the channel like the 7 Esoteric Rays. However, for now, I am going to do some Symbol Meditation videos with the Zodiac Oracle Stones. I am debating if I want to use the Runes or the Animal Medicene card for that one. I do feel the need, because I am doing Oracle Stones every day that I don't want to do those for the Monthly and Zodiac Season. I want to mix things up a bit. Through March I'm going to be doing posting extra blogs. I feel it's a bit frantic but it's because Pluto doesn't change sign every day (every fifteen years or so...it will be in Aquarius until 2043) and neither does Saturn (it's a bit faster until February 20236). I really want to do a Meditative Video on both of those and a Ritual to help share tools for people to work with the energy. I will also be doing a Prosperity Ritual for St. Pattys Day. I really love the Point of View videos and that's what I'm probably going to keep doing because I don't like being on camera because I am such an Introvert and taking time to apply/take off my makeup adds about an hour worth of time to making a video. I want to do shorts along the lines of each Ritual and Symbolic Meditation. I wanted to do that for the Valentines Love Ritual, sending everyone love with the Candle and the energy of the grid. That just didn't happen. Now that the youngest is sleeping through the night and goes to sleep about 6pm I do have a lot more time but the Husband wants to start playing cards again...and I am so used to knocking out whenever the youngest sleeps it's hard for me to stay up even with caffine. With over a yeah of sleeping in bits in pieces it's rough not to enjoy a full nights rest. So, knowing that I have so much that I am sharing I am just flying by the seat of my pants, in the spur of the moment, and one take type of videos. Yet, everything, especailly those Shorts are really going well. Even if one person watches the videos I am a happy camper. Once we hit April, although I will be doing an Ostara Meditation/Ritual. When it comes to Christian Major holidays I will probably stick to the Pagan Origins. I don't feel as though invoking Jesus or the very thin lore around him...given that there are much deeper and more prevalent spiritual meaning behind why that story is told the way it is and how it is symbolized....bur after April I will start posting the Science of Magic videos and shorts since people voted (about five people) that's what they want to see. That makes sense given that Alchemy people make up most of my subscribers. So, at least one long format (about an hour) videos per month. About six videos that are around fifteen or thirdty minutes. Daily Short Oracle Stone Videos and a Short Video based on the Long Format Video information. That's a lot of content and I think people should he happy with that. The YouTube experiment is fun and exciting. So nice to have a new direction to explore and I'm just grateful anyone pays attention to anything I put out there. I'm still blown away by the amount of people called to Spiritual Disciplines without religion. Also, after April I will really dedicate time to working on my book. That shouldn't take too long. I have the outline but since it's based on information that I is such a part of my life that it will take next to no time to write. The trick will be the cover art and then publishing it on Amazon. I'm not looking for making a ton from it but if anything sells at all and I get a few dollars out of it I will be very happy. I feel like writing and sharing a book is something that everyone does this days and there is as lot of junk out there. However, I think that what I have to share is important and can help guide people into this Aquarius Age....which is so different from the Age of Pisces (I will touch on that in the Pisces Meditation which is coming up this weekend). I will also do videos on each of the Tarot Cards since I'm doing that for this blog but I will not be getting back to that until May. So, yeah, wow. Watching my channel grow and creeping up on hitting that Monetization point which would be awesome even if it's just a little extra...right now with all of the inflation maybe I'll be able to buy a carton of eggs! lol. Today and tomorrow I will be doing chores around my house while prepping for the New Moon Symbolisim and Ritual Video. I am also starting to work on next years New and Full Moon I can't let a holiday go without trying seasonal offerings.
As far as coffee is concerned, Red Brick is the only one I saw offering a Coffee Flavor for Valentines. The Amaretto Smell is amazing. The Amaretto Flavor is a little sweet and very apparent without cream or sugar. That is the dominant flavor you taste. There is a little bit of the typical earthy* flavor but the Amaretto overpowers everything else in a good way. I can totally drink this coffee black. Adding just milk actually detracted from the flavor. I'm sure if it was actually cream, not 2% lactaid it would probably enhance it. Adding two packets of Splenda was mind blowing. The coffee tastes just like candy. I highly recommend Amaretto Kiss Red Brick Coffee and it is perfect for Valentines. One of the Universal Energies that a lot of people fail to tap into is the traditional holidays that the vast majority of people celebrate. In the Spiritual community there is a desire to go with the Pagan Holidays as though those are cooler. They are fantastic and there is energy to be worked with there...but the major traditional holidays have a lot of energy too...even more so because it is very present and active int he Collective Subconscious.
I am all for harnessing current Universal Energies and Valentine's Day is a beautiful one. When I was decorating my house and doing Valentines Day crafts with my daughter, teaching her about Cupid (such a funny topic if you approach it from the right angle) I asked her, "Why do we celebrate Valentines Day?" Being the very girly girl that she is that loves pink, dresses, and princesses her gorgeous reply was, "Because we love LOVE!" I just smiled at the profound wisdom of her words and agreed. The energy that we are harnessing in Ritual when working with Valentines is LOVE. There is no more powerful force on Earth and it absoultely deserves a day of attention and adoration. A lot of people will write off Valentines Day as a Hallmark Holiday (seems to be a very successful brand with it's own movies and everything) but I love everything about it...although, if you look into it's origins and it's likely start as more of a recognition of the bird mating season...it's werid. Ultimately, this is a very fertile period of time of the year and so, a great time for people to focus and celebrate on Love...and February is literally named after a Fertility Celebration in Rome...so that's what we are really celebrating and the energy we are working with. The Tools I like to keep rituals simple because I have next to no time to do them and I have next to no time to make videos about them. Eventually, I would love to make these into annual tradition of ASMR videos. For now, I will share what I can the way that I can. This is temporary, as are most things in life. - 1 Packet Of Tea- I'm using Rose White Tea - Double Terminated Stone - Crystal Grid - Red Candle - Pretty Decorations - An Incense That Makes You Think Of Love....I'm choosing Latin Lover from Wildberry - Essential Oil Blend That Makes You Think Of Love...I'm working with Eternal Essence Love Spell - Valentines Day Decorations The Ritual Preperation A big part of bringing the energy of love into our Subconscious is to use this Ritual as a method to really love yourself. In fact, I would suggest the intention that you set not be for Romantic Love. I really recommend that the intention that you set should be about loving yourself more. People say we live in a time where everyone puts themselves first and moral corruption...but I don't think that's because people love themselves. Instead, I think the big issue often indicated by gathering a lot of toys and hoarding or failing to launch or trying to change the outer world into the image we think we want (but they probably wouldn't life if they actually got their way)...is due to a lack of self-love and the confidence that brings. Everyone has a wounded child. I don't know anyone who came out of childhood without wounds. Your parents try the best they can with what they've got but no one is perfect and being a perfect parent is impossible. Most people and most parents are operaing on completley subconscious urges and that is why there can be so much resentment towards them from their children and so much lack of realization of what they did that caused those wounds. So, let's work with that Inner Child today and send them love. Buy yourself a box of chocolates at the grocery store. Don't wait for a lover or spouse to do it or hang your hopes on some Soul Mate or Twin Flame. You are whole and complete all on your own and only responsible for you...so met your own love needs in whatever way feels gentle today...starting with this ritual. You are loving yourself by stepping onto the Path of the Seeker...as a Seeker of Truth and the Divine you are building a relationship with your Higherself and therefore the One Creator. The Ritual Light the Candle, recognizing the Element of Fire tied to the Divine Masculine Active Principal (a Red Candle will bring in the energy of passion and of this Directional Element) and looking into the flame, a bit like birthday candles, make your wish and set your intention. Perhaps it's for learning to love yourself, maybe its for being more gentle with yourself this year during all of these big endings, or maybe it's a goal of having more time to yourself. Know, that just by doing this ritual you are moving towards these goals. Brew your tea. If you want you can write a symbol of your chosing onto the cup with your finger with the condensation (don't burn yourself)...a butterfly for transformation or Ansuz- the Divine Masculine Rune of Protection associated with the Stag or Fehu, the Divine Feminine Rune of Abundance associated with the Primordial Cow (think Hathor in Egyptian Culture but Fehu is much easier to write then her glyphs). Sip your tea if you like it hot or let it cool. Just by being included it is blessed. Arrange your Sacred Space with any Valentines Decorations that you wanted to include. You can make this a display in your home for a few days. You can also set all of this up to work with prior to Valentines Day. Your Decorations will be charged for Next Valentines by using this ritual and every year you work with them their energetic signature will become more aligned to your energy and the energy of love through ritual. Create the Crystal Grid, take your time admiring the stones and meditating with them one at a time. This should be a very loving meditative act. By incorporating active meditation into our Ritual that consists primarily of Active Masculine Energy we are tapping into the Receptive Subconscious of our Minds which is the fertile ground with which we are consciousy working. I recommend stones for the grid that represent loving gentle energy but you can choose to work with whatever aspect of love that you want to...for some, it may be wise to work with stones that promote courage and energy assosciated with the Solar Plexus which is associated with Mars and is the Love and Belonging Level of Maslows Hierarchy of Needs. These are the stones I am chosing to work with this year: Peach Moonstone Pillar: I love working with Moonstone in general. With there effervesance they just feel like magic and there is nothing more potent for Feminine energy of the Moon after which they are named. The Moon is also a symbol for the Subconscious that we are working with directly in Ritual. This is a Sacral Chakra (associated with the Sexual Reproductive Functions and associated with Jupiter the planet of expansion) stone. Rose Quartz: The most common and accesible stone associated with Love and the Heart Chakra (associated with Venus). I don't think a grid involving love is complete without it. Kunzite: I consider this Heart Chakra crystal to be the Romance Stone. I swear every time I carry it I have the most romantic tender nights of my life. This is a must have in any grid where I want to invoke love. Pink Cobalto Calcite: Aside from looking like a piece of chocolate coated in cherry frosting working with this lovely little Heart Chakra stone invokes Universal Love and Compassion. Unakite: This green and pink Heart Chakra stone is so powerful. I received my first piece of Unakite when I was in the hospital with my first born daughter who was born prematurely and passed away. I remember meditating with the stone during that time. For me it represents how love endures across time and space. Pyrite: This Solar Plexus stone forms in cubes which is a symbol for the material world. Pyrite brings brillance to any grid and it also brings confindece. Salt: Salt forms in cubes, much like Pyrite, and in alchemy it represents the Crystalization of the Human World tying it to the concept of manifestation. Salt, more commonly is associated with purification hence why so many use Pink Himilayan Salt Lamps in their homes. Kamaba Jasper- This gorgeous stone is known as the Warrior Stone. Sage Goddess says it best when they say this Root Chakra stone invokes the qualities of a positive Divine Masculine figure: assertiveness, protection, action, adventure and logic. Pink Aurua Quartz Moon: Again, calling in the energy of the Subconscious so that we can plant the seeds of suggestiong for the way want to grow regarding Love instead of being tugged by the Universal Astrological Energies and Karma. Pink Aura Quartz amplfies the entire Grid with loving energy and looks really rad. Conclusion Valentines holds the energy of Love and tapping into the Collective Subconscious of this Energy we can work with potent energy. When we work with Love directly...especially starting with ourselves...we move to a more authentic healthy and happy existence. I can't think of anything more important. Love can heal everything, it is the essence of Divinity/our Soul Nature and it is infinite. Tapping into that energy, not just on Valentines but every day, is drinking from the "Living Waters" that Jesus referred to in his Sermons. We can return to that stream of love whenever we wish once we become used to connecting with it. Here I am writing another blog and, hopefully (I attempted to make it when the one year old was asleep and four year old was outside but...it didn't happen) even making a longer format video. I may chicken out on that but here is all of the information. I will probably share the Alchemy Card and the idea as Shorts...I may also share the grid as a short...we will see what I have time to do and since I'm learning how to do all of this on the fly with little time we will see what I manage to get done today. Mercury Comjunct Pluto At 29 Degrees Capricorn Mercury Conjunct Pluto at 29 degrees of Capricorn is a big deal. From now until May the Astrological Energy...the energy of the Divine is very strong with some unqiue transits that I would be remiss if I didn't address them and did not work with them. First off, a Mercury Pluto Conjunction is a yearly thing. However, what is special about this one is Pluto is at the final degrees of Capricorn. That means that it carries a lot of energy. Planets are at their highest effect in a sign when it first enters a sign and when it leaves a sign. Think of the effect on a pool when someone jumps in and when they get out...the waves are always very large even if they are very careful. Not to mention, this is probably the only and last times that we will see this conjunction happening at this Degree. Don't let this Potent Energy for Healing Go To Waste How Magic Works I want to start off explaining how magic and ritual work. I will eventually do Shorts and a longer format video on this subject. I can't make all of the videos I want all at once, however, so this is how I am approaching things. Magic and ritual in all of it's forms is bringing the Subconscious, that contains our Higher Self and is a direct line to Divinity, into our consciousness. We set Intentions which are Self-Fulfilling Prophecies that are Documented by Hard Science and taught as a fact in Psychology classes. I recommend you check out these YoutTube videos: Adam Ellenbaas: https://youtu.be/dHkgMg3-ciA Anastasia Thr Cosmic Astrologer: https://youtu.be/lvtSvMAdA00 I Natale Astrologer: 1.https://youtu.be/CmVwHWmzAkE 2.https://youtu.be/x7HNYRK81TE The Leo King: https://youtu.be/Qf9gBfyBAfY Thoughts on "The Event" Someone on YouTube shared a video where a guy ewith shiny eyes was talking about "the event." After living through multiple "events": Y2k, The Grand Alignment of 2012 and the Grand Conjunction of Saturn/Jupiter in 2020...I'm way over these "events." No, I don't believe any group is going to "rapture" or "ascend" to Utopian 5D leaving everyone else to suffer in 3D Earth. I purposefully started writing this blog and making YouTube videos to combat these negative self-destructive points of views that we have a tendency towards in the Spiritual Community. My book will also be aimed debunking the people who want to bring about Utopia or Rerturn to Eden. Alchemcial Divination Cards I made these specifically for this Ritual. Any set of Archetypal symbols can be used in Divination. I used the symbols that D.W. Hauck has in his Alchemical Workshop Book. I only used the seven symbols for the seven stages. However, I may add to it eventually with elemental symbols, the symbol for Lead, Gold and Mercury, etc. Either way, for this particular reading I pulled Dissoultion. The Dissolution stage of Alchemy...where whatever we are working with is dissolved coincides perfectly with Pluto/Mercury Conjunction at 29 degrees of Capricorn. When we expeirince grief, a concept so attached to Pluto the God of Death, and a Dark Night of Soul a part of our live is Dissolving. This is a process that actually the second stage of the Alchemical Process.We take the ashes from the first step, Calcination, and we dissolve them reducing them to their basic elements. When you lose a loved one, a job or anything in this Physical Material Reality it returns you back to your most basic form. You may feel less then what you were with that person, object, job or whatever it may be that you have lost. However, at the end of the day all of you have and all you are is an Immortal Soul made in the image of The One Creator. You're not your body, you're not even your thoughts...and when you embrace that and the power that truly grants you...I believe that is what Jesus referred to when he said of drinking from the Living Water within. You tap into that endless Source of Power and Strength. That power and strength does not grant you physical things in this Material World. Instead, it leads to inward riches and that is all that we keep with us when we cross over into the Immaterial Realm. The Science Behind Ritual When we do Ritual we bring these intentions into our conscious reality, we plant the seeds into our Subconscious which is associated with the Receptive Feminine Principal. Instead of being buffeted by Universal Energies like an ignorant puppet...we are embracing our individuality and our sovereignty...and by doing it ourselves instead of the proxy of a teacher we are claiming our spiritual heritage and forging a direct relationship to Divinity. In tha Age of Pisces proxies like Saviors, Rabbi's, Priests, Popes, etc were the thing but that is not an Aquarian Energy and so that is coming to an end. Those people still have their purpose but we don't need them to do the work for us. When we take action on the physical level with physical material it has a very profound affect upon us and our mental state. The actual physical act, much like meditation, is much more powerful then just thinking about it. If something is trapped within the confines of our imagination and we take no physical action in the world to bring it into the world it will not happen...it stays in the hypothetical realm of air. One of the reasons I'm sharing all of this is because I have seen so much grief come up, which is the domain of Pluto. A lot of people's pets passed away. I watched Wakanda Forever which is a beautiful homage to grief. That energy is really in the air right now. I've also noticed a lot of people having a Dark Night of the Soul. There is a new batch of Awakened individuals. Honestly, when I first dove into this information in the 90's and read about the Awakening in Celestine Prophecy I thought it was bananas. Yet, so many people are doing the work these days it blows my mind. So, I'm bringing a very short ritual to you with some tools to help you get through these sorts of times. I'm including a few types of Aromatherapy which is scientifically proven. I don't know a single person who didn't use Lavendar No More Tears soap on their babies. I'm also using Sound Therapy which is also proven. The 128 hertz tuning Fork is scientifically documented relaxing muscles. Color Theapy is used with the Minerals and Crystals. They are also used in correspondence with the energy body, the Chakra system being the most well known, and as I have covered in prior videos is in perfect alignment with Maslow's Hierarchy of needs. All of these scientifically proven areas of study hold deep Archetypal significance in the Collective Subconscious. We tap into the wisdom of our ancestors when we tune into these Archetypes. Empowering Transmutation Ritual The ritual is very simple. 1.Light the brown candle for the element of Fire and set an intention by sending it into the flame. 2.Arrange the grid dedicating it to the Earth element. 3. Place/Anoint some essential oil onto the grid for Water. Light the incense or put the essential oil in a diffuser for Air. 4. Using a Vogel, Athame/Ceremonial Knife, Wand (even a stick dedicated to it can work), or Double Terminated Wand direct the energy within your field the way you want. You can cut cords with the Athame closing the door to this energy that way. You can simply cast the energy into the flame with your hands. The Two Chakras The Root Chakra- it holds the Inner Child energy which is often Wounded because most of us didn't have our Physiological and Emotional Needs met as kids. I don't anyone who had a perfect childhood no matter what their circumstances are...and the Root Chakra directly Corresponds to Maslows Hierarchy of Needs. The Root holds the energy of Pluto because it is the one most effected by grief and endings. When we have a closed Root Chakra we have difficulty connecting to the Physical World and other people. Functioning at all is really difficult. The Third Eye/Brow Chakra- This is the Chakra that holds the energy of our Perception. This is the Chakra associated with Mercury. Tools For Capricorn This Transit is happening in Earthy Capricorn which is about the Organization of Power in our World. Not surprisingly as Pluto leaves Capricorn a new Power Structure where the United States is weaker has emerged. To work with that energy I have a few tools. We want to ground ourselves in this energy so that we feel safe. 1. A Drum- Drums are a grounding tool. Our first instinct may be to run from all of this deep emotional energy but if we do so we will lose the opportunity to do some deep Shadow Work and healing that this Transit offers. 2. A Brown Intentiom Candle: Obviously, brown is an Earthy color. We can set our intention by sensing the thought into the challenge flame. Candles also represent the Divine Masculine Active Energy due to the fire. 3. Ancestralite: Part of my grid but specifically chosen to work with the energy and call in the wisdom of our Amcestors. 4. Deep Patchouli Essential Oil: This earthy scent is very grounding. 5. Vanilla Tobacco Essential Oil: Another earthyEarthy smell. Tools For Mercury Similar to the element that bears this Gods name this planet is very fluid. Known as the messenger of the God's he is very fast and represents the Mental/Thinking Realm or waking consciousness. When Mercury is worked in the negative it consists of raxingracing uncontrollable thoughts. 1. Tuning Fork: An Air element instrument it works vibration and can help us yoto relax and clear our third eye chakra that's associated with Mercury. 2. Amethyst: One of my favorite stones to work with and part of our grid. This third Eye chakra stone is used for detoxification. As a third eye chakra stone it corresponds to Mercury. For Pluto All of the black stones: Torumaline and Shungite. Polished Bloodstone: I chose this stone in particular for Pluto. This dark green healing stone corresponds to healinhealing and the rootchakra. Aromatherapy/Air Deep Patchouli Essential Oil and Tobacco Vanilla in a diffuser (also corresponds to water). Sage and Santo Incense: Sage and Palo Santo have earthtEarthy scents and are purifying smudge. Palo Santo even gas some antibacterial properties. The Big Minerals I pulled out some of my big pieces for this work. Natural Rose Quartz Pillar: The energy of this just feels so raw. When we experience grief or a Dark Night of the Soul are heart is broken open and rupe for healing. This heart chakra stone can help with that. Black Torumaline Log: Absorbs negativity and very protective. Works with the Root Chakra. Carnelian: If your are low on energy and just don't know how you're going to climb out of bed this is the stone to work with. This is a mineral that imparts energy to the person who works with it. The Grid Smoky Quartz- A great stone for transmuting energy. This is a great stone to use when doing Shadow Work and corresponds to the Root Chakra. Brecciated Jasper- This popped up as our Oracle Stone for the Leo Full Moon. This is the stone of the Phoenix...a great stone to work with when going through Grief or a Dark Night Of the Soul. Polished Blood Stone: A great healing stone that is dark green stone with red spots that look like drops of blood. This is the go to stone for healing but has a very Plutonian vibe. Ancestrilite- Earth energy is that of our Amcestors. As I said above, I'm bringing this in to call upon our ancestors. The work we do today clears family Karma from not just for future generations but for our ancestors too. Amethyst- For detoxification of the third eye chakra associated with Mercury and perception. Brecciated Jasper- The Phoenix Stone thst helps us rise like a phoenix from the ashes of a Dark Night Of The Soul. Bloodstone: A healing heart chakra stone that is really dark green with red drops that look like blood. Has strong Pluto vibesVibes in my opinion. Garnet: This grounding rootRoot Chakra stone brings a very loving mothering energy to the grid. Kunzite: I call this the romance stone. The gentle pink stone brings love to everything it interacts. Morganite: Another loving heart chakra stone that is very gentle Tiger's Eye Angel: A solar plexus stone for the gentle encouragement of courage. Conclusion We are in some very serious energy. We can use this time to turn this energy to our advantage and use it for our own Conscious purposes instead of being blow about by the energetic tides. This is a great time to Meditate and for me, Ritual is an Artive Meditation. Here is a very Pluto Alan Walker Song: https://youtu.be/NTVWwlWhBds Look at this...you get a bonus blog during a month I intended to take off!
I never really expected this to happen or to happen so abruptly. I really thought a thousand subscribers was an unattainable goal. I know people have millions and thousands but I never sought to be a celebrity but I do believe I have something to offer and not as a direct teacher people become dependent on. I consider the videos that I already did as a work of art and love. I share my passion and my hard won experience and knowledge through these videos. Apparently, a friend of my Husbands Niece is some sort of trend setter who is making an income on YouTube. So, really, if some teeny bopper can do it...why not a forty year old housewife? My channel, like my blog, have the basics of my personal philosophy. Although, it is far easier to find it on my YouTube channel. I will be putting all of it into book form very shortly and slapping it onto Amazon to reach even more people. Anyhow, this came about because I hit 1k subscribers and I promised on here that when I did I would return to YouTube. I thought it would be in middle of 2023 instead of February. My channel has gradually added subscriptions...mostly men checking out the Alchemy videos and I keep active when it comes to Funny enough, the account I use personally has 19 subscribers. For now, I am doing YouTube shorts. They changed up their requirements for monetization. If I do 17 shorts and reach a million views via that I can apply for monetization. 17 short videos is easy for me and more doable then the long format videos. Right now, I can only record 1 minute and 54 seconds of video on my phone anyways because so much of the memory is taken up by pictures. I have another phone I could probably record more on but I would love to upgrade my laptop, and get a camera and maybe figure out a set up with the Husbands music studio recording set up. I do have a microphone and stand that I used with the laptop and a recording program but I haven't used it in four years. The microphone was added into the Husband's collection. I do want to come back with longer form videos. If I make a bit of money I will probably be able to justify to the Husband scheduling time to do them or staying up to do them when everyone else is asleep...but then I'll have to figure out a lighting set up which is it's own ball of wax and a bit more expenisve then the nautral light that I prefer. I think the gradual build up of subscribers shows that timeless videos ha perave great value. I made the majority of my videos timeless on purpose...meaning not attached to a specific date. I am shocked by own spontaneous return. I'm okay with shorts. I didn't realize I did one and had 1k in views on that one video. Since I set them up to be timeless whenever someone comes across them they are applicable. That's the brilliant thing about open ended Divination. It's not like a Rose Quartz Arrow Head suddenly has a different meaning in 2025 then it did in 2023. I have a lot of ideas for shorts and for longer videos too. I could, honestly, put all of the concepts I shared on my YouTube channel on the Shorts. They clearly reachmore people and I am a person who likes to distell things down to short and sweet answers since I adhere to the K.I.S.S. principal. I don't want to inundate people just for the sake of views, however, so I'll have to abide by some sort of schedule similar to my blog. Shorts I will be doing Daily Oracle Stone videos. I think the oracle stone videos were destined for Short Videos because it is so short and concise. This gives me an excuse to talk about my favorite symbols-rocks, stones, crystals- subjects and play with my collection. I love using it for something practical and if I can make money off of it eventually...that would be sublime. I will share the Zodiac Season Oracle Stones and the Montly Rune on the Shorts. I also want to do New Moon and Full Moon Short Videos. That will depend on time. I might also do a summary of the deep esoteric meaning of each Tarot Card each month...since people teach entire classes on each card I don't know if a two minute clip will be all that great but I think there are some key concepts that I could cover in a short period of time. Things that suck about shorts is that they cannot be embedded in a blog. They cannot be scheduled so they have to be spontaneous. Thankfully, I don't have to use the YouTube App for them. I tried that function and it was terrible...automatically recording when you open it. Since I'm literally just Impromptu (in other words making it up based on a topic I just read...I won a Language Arts award for that in Middle School) I do like to take a couple of takes. I know some people who keep mistakes in there and that sort of live recording is awesome but that is not my jam at all. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and if a plane flies overhead or something I start over. So the YouTube App function for recording is not for me. What's funny is I discovered that I had one short up already and it had over 1k views. Apparently, 17 short videos, according to YouTube, should lead to millions of views. I doubt mine will hit that many but we will see what happens. So far, the current short has hit over 100 views and I have ten new subscribers. That is a lot more views then I have been averaging per day. I am curious to see if I add more esoteric subjects to Shorts if they will blow up or not. I will probably create a written schedule and stick to that to introduce all of the concepts I already covered on my channel. I have a few concepts that I am going to share that are new too. As I'm always up to something spiritually, because one of the few things I have left after my long Alchemization process, is curiousity...there is always something new to share. Longer Videos I really want to do a longer video every month on the New Moon preparation in an ASMR Style. I don't have the tools but if I do start generating an income I will invest in it. I have other ideas...favorite mineral companion and why to use them...dealing with a Dark Night Of The Soul/Existential Crisis based on an upcoming blog. Oracle Stone I Pulled: Rose Quartz Arrow Point Here is a link to my first intentional experimental short video: https://youtube.com/shorts/17-9kSbcUaw?feature=share I pulled an Oracle Stone for this first video. The Oracle Stone was, as usual, perfect. Rose Quartz is a heart Chakra Stone and the arrow head shape represents intentions. So, this Stone really represents heart based intentions. I can't imagine a more auspicious Oracle stone for my return to YouTube. To add to that, the Rune I pulled for today- Ingwaz, literally symbolizes Freye (fertility) and it looks like a seed. In a lot of ways, this new phase of my YouTube interaction is like planting a seed for my deepest hope of an income that doesn't involve working for someone else. Conclusion Hopefully, this new start will stick unlike the last time. I think it will and that's really exciting. I believe I have something unique to offer and that is fun. I'm all caught up from Christmas except for some small details so that is amazing and most of the clutter in my house has been mastered so that is fantastic too. A little bit of organization and some thearpeutic cleanring and...I'm a happy camper. So, I guess Game On for my YouTube Channel. I invite you to join me on this journey and let's see where we shall go! I will be returning to doing my Tarot Card analysis. I'm also starting to do my Astrology Blogs for next year so that is always a lot of fun. I love doing those a year in advance so that reading them is a surprise even to me. That's kind of like a time capsule of information from my past self to my future/current self. So, good times!
On the one hand I think this film was absolutely gorgeous. However, I probably won't watch it again. Not because it isn't good but because it falls into one of those extraordinary categories of films that is so profoundly serious.
I know, saying that about a Marvel Film seems bizarre. Ryan Coogler is such a masterful director and he really crafted a work of art. The thing is that this film is an homage to grief...and quite frankly, I've had enough of that in my life. Coogler has proven that he is the master of crafting truly amazing villians. Namoor is brilliant. The acting in the movie was so amazing. Letita Wright gave such an incredible performance. To go from a comedic side charecter to the main charecter could not have been easy. Angela Bassett was mesmerizing. The cast clearly channeled their feelings about losing Chadwick Boseman into their performances and it was riveting. The digital effects were gorgeous which makes up for the crappy effects in Black Panther. The world building in this movie really added so much more to Wakanda. I really wish that it was a real place it was so fun to watch. I think this will be a classic. If anything, strangely, that it's a Marvel Film might actually be the only drawback. Yet, how else would this movie be possible? Collective Consicous I think this was a tremendously healing film. Channeling the grief of not just one culture but several. I really don't know what else to say. The profound healing is worth it's weight in gold. There is so much healing that needs to happen. I'll take it in whatever form it arrives and this one is profoundly beautiful I get why some people might not feel connected to the story. However, all of us feel grief. I couldn't help but cry when Queen Ramona died. I think anyone who has lost someone or even a pet should be able to connect to this element of the movie, which is the most difficult for me (as an Empath and a double Cappy that hates showing emotion it's rough). We have moved through a lot of grief the last three years. The timing for a movie focused on it couldn't be more perfect. |
