I've been using disposable lighters to light candles and around the house for a long time. I think most people do...but when I was comparing prices online I came across this and it's rechargeable which means less waste.
Hopefully, since it's not a one time use it will hopefully last longer. Since I don't use the disposable lighters very often it takes years to go through them. So, to be of value they have to last two to three years and to really be something special at least ten years. Now, already, they do have some black build up. I'm not sure if that's because of a transfer of material from candle wicks and incense sticks. My husband did use it to light some old gunpowder on fire to dispose of it which may be where it became so messy. That didn't work too well. They work really well on candles and stick incense. The cone incense is a bit difficult to light. The bendable neck is a really nice feature.

Happy Ground Hog Day!
Well, it's tomorroow, which is funny because 2 is the number of Duality. To boil this months energy down to two words: Speak Wisely. Well, when I first wrote this blog I went down an entire Rabbit Hole regarding the origin of the name February. I experienced a huge epiphany...then I lost my internet connection and the entire thing was wiped out. I'm not sure what I discovered is meant for this blog but I can summarize it at the end. I was going to leave it raw but, yeah, I may need to sit down with the information for a bit. Our stone for this month is Angelite. This Blue Stone corresponds to the Throat Chakra and it's all about Divine Communication. For a moment there, as I wrote this blog, it's clear that a download occurred the likes of which I haven't had for quite awhile and I was not prepared for! This month may be one where we receive communication that blows us away because it is of a Divine Nature...perhaps even Otherworldly. We must also remember to speak as the Divine Beings that we truly are as what we say becomes reality. There is a slice of Agate on my sink that I bought from Sage Goddess that reads: "Energy Follows Intention and Words Create Reality. Speak and Write your visions with confidence and love. Amen, A'ho, So It Is." Angelite reminds us to speak with that love in mind. The questions attributed to a Buddhist saying that you should ask yourself before saying anything, "Is it True? Is it Kind? Is it Loving?" is a good one . We can't always say things that are in these categories...sometimes, as Edgar Cacye said in one reading, you need to be able to tell someone to go to hell. Some people require Universal Truth slamming them upside the head before they can see it because they are so consumed with building their unique self because they are stuck within ego unaware of anything outside of themselves while also not turning into the Universal within. February, if you look into the eytimology which is where I found an entire Rabbit Hole that revealed something obvious I never conceived...represents Fertility. When the Roman's named this month Fabruary it was after a Fertility Purification Ritual where they sacrificed a Goat. There is a bunch of fertility symbolisim involved in the Ritual but it does make sense given that it is during this month that any seed planted will clearly be "born" in April with the Spring. This adds to the idea that what you say in February may come into fruition in April so speak wisely. Speaking wisely involves discernment. Perhaps you cannot go with the Buddhist perspective of saying only Kind, True, and Nice things...maybe you have to slam reality into someones head this month but if that is so...take a moment and think it through using your discernment to see if it will really result in what you want. Sometimes, we can say things that need to be said but the delivery causes the message to be distorted. Post Script: A Summary What I discovered when following the trail back to the Roman Purification Ritual were two Gods that resemble Freyer and Freya of the Norse mythology. Faunus and Fauna. Faunus was a...well Faun- half man and half goat much as the Devil most of us are familar with in Christian Mythology. Fertility cults are known for sacrificing an Avatar of the Fertility God- whether it's Ptah in Egypt in the form of a Bull or Faunus in Rome. Bull's in a way, are still sacrficed in Spain. The belief was that once the Avatar of this God was sacrficed and buried like a seed into the land it would be renewed/reborn when their were times of famine or tiny harvests. The Goat is the symbol of Saturn- and Saturn rules both Capricorn (symbolized by the Sea Goat) and Aquarius...the man...which makes the Faun a very good symbol for Saturn. The idea of this sacrifice, much like the sacrfice/killing of the Bull, could be traced back to the time of Atlantis. There, according to Edgar Cacye, was a world of half animal, half human, quasi physical beings and that is what souls were entrapped in...later in Egypt in the Temple Beautiful the pursuit of a 'pure' body that was better equipped for a Soul's Sojurn on Earth was sought and which probably gave rise to this entire physical sacrifice nonsense when human's lost their memory because it was realized that they had to "fall" (and the Temple Prophecy was created to carry the information to the proper future generation that would "Ascend" or really their memory would be restored) and forget completely their true Spiritual Nature. As it turns out the sacrfice of the Goat or our physical nature to return to some previous state of Purity was a great error. We need to embrance our Animal Nature and evolve into something new and never seen before...the process we are going through currently as we work with our Shadow Nature that held our Animal Nature for so long. The Golden Age that the Romans talk about, ruled by the Faun/Saturn, is simply the Age of Atlantis. There was a sort of 'wild west' attitude during that time when it came to souls experimenting with Physical Material Reality. Souls had pushed themselves into Physical Material Reality and experimented/played with every level of creation from Gas to Solids not really knowing what they were doing up to the point of Atlantis and Leumaria. Atlantis sought to study the Masculine Active principle. Leumaria sought to study the Feminine Receptive principle. Eventually, the two were destroyed because Individualization happened and their fear led to the global catastrophic events. As I've shared...we are at a similar time...revisiting and experiencing the same energies. The Coronavirus scare was very much like the Individualization issue that happened...that led to the great fear that caused the destruction of Atlantis. People like Edgar Cacye and Dolores Cannon- even Brian Weiss and Bashar- shared that there was going to be a dramatic fall in human population. Edgar Cacye described a catasrophic global pole shift that would lead to tremndous devastation...unless the Light Workers stepped up and enough people held the positive intention of At-One-Ment. Well, we are in the Timeline with that At-One-Ment where the de-population is going to be somewhat graceful but totally befuddeling to those who are not Spiritual. That Ancient Class of Leumaria/Atlantis are the ones who held and led the way for the Awakening/At-One-Ment and in a way they are graduating...finally able to consciously leve the Physical Material Reality experiment if they wish. What should have been totally obvious is that Saturn ruled the Golden Age of Atlantis/Leumaria. Of course, he was killed by Jupiter which suggests that he ended the Gold Age which creates some fascinating ideas. There is more to say but it's a bit undeveloped. Very curious, though, that Saturn would be referred to as a Fertility Diety. Personally, the idea of Saturn as a Fertility Diety is a bit bananas. The two that equate to the Fertility aspect in Greek astrology...would be Apollo and Artemis...and that is fascinating too given that Apollo is the Sun and Artemis is the Moon. The doubling of these dieties...such as Freya probably also representing Frigg in the Norse Myths...may be that these two incarnate on multiple levels of the Multiverse...an incarnation as Saturn/Rhea and then reborn in another form as the Sun and Moon...and the Goddess in particular seems to have Avatars on every level of reality that can become aware of one another. That is a possiblity. Also, interestingly, that this Purification Ritual Holiday followed Saturnalia (very much like Topsy Turvy day in Hunchback of Notredame which was based on a very real holiday in France celebrated in January- once again a month ruled by Saturn)- where things were confused. Men dressed as women and women dressed as men...again, that does hint at the madness and 'Wild West' type energy that Atlantis and Leumaria had with experimenting with Physical Material Reality. Doesn't that seem a lot like our current weird Trans issue? I decided to pull on this string a bit more...and sure enough in Sumerian religions Saturn was considered a Fertility diety as well (Ninurta one of the two suns of Anu in Sumerian mythology)...and if you think about it the "Purification via sacrficing a Goat," (that we also see in the Bible with the story of Isaac and in the temple) is symbolic of Killing Saturn or Killing Time...basically, re-enacting Jupiter killing his Father to renew the land. That's like Re-Setting the clock...which ties into the myth of the Greek Capricorn Sea Goat's who were never allowed to evolve out of the ocean because they became ordinary land goats...humans have the opportunity at the end of every age to evolve out of the Ocean of Oneness into Individualization but if they remain believing they are only animals and that Physical Material Reality is all that is...it is a Re-set. There is also a fascinating bit where Saturn's statue in Rome had Sheep fleece wrapped around it's legs and every year they would remove the fleece representing renewal...would that represent removing the animal body and the purification of the soul? This is even more interesting given that we are coming out of a period where Saturn had a heavy influence on the World starting in 2017. Saturn has been in Capricorn and Aquarius...two signs where it rules asssociated with the Winter Months of the Goddess. In 2023, however, Saturn goes into Pisces where it ends it being at it's optimal power...and in a way, represents a renewal...and it won't return to it's place again until 2047...which is after all of the prophecies of 'doom and gloom' regarding re-enacting the Atlantis self-annhilation. Defintely an interesting Rabbit Hole that I didn't intend to go down but very fascinating. Anywho, I will leave you with this "Angelic Frequency Music" set at 777 Hertz that popped up when I wanted to write this and listen to something. |
