Thoughts from your Hostess of Light July 2016

Thoughts from your Hostess of Light July 2016

This month has been thick and heavy like the gravitational pull in this dimension weighs us down a little more each day. We feel like an egg on a Texas sidewalk, cooked over-hard! Life demands that we get out and celebrate but the she-crab in all of us says ‘no thank you’, I would rather stay in my shell, a place of safety. The world is turned upside down and we all pray for peace, and kind of peace, but the dove of comfort comes not.

Life has become primordial oozing like the Florida gulf sludge that was birthed out of the ancient seabed by mechanical probing and digging. Everything comes to the surface and most of it seems toxic in the form words, actions and promises. We look at our species and wonder what went wrong. We look at our lives and wonder the same thing. All that we were taught does not hold up in the light of this new day. truths are hung out to dry in a wind created by political lips flapping. We get on bended knee and pray this is the’ comedy zone dimension’ and not our final home. We change channels and dreams more than we change our sheets. People are afraid the root chakra is blocked and they have all put tinfoil all over their windows afraid to look out afraid to feel afraid to love. Everything hurts and the wounds can be seen in the heart and eyes of those around you.

Everything screams for justice but it seems the goddess of justice has left the outcome in our hands and not divine creation. The light and the dark within everything fights with itself, from ancient DNA to cell towers pinging,  the outcome is uninviting as humanity begins to lose its compassion for itself.

In this month of Cancerian she-crab energies none of us wants to feel. we are all in liquid overload in a tidal pool planet. Truths are ripped from us faster than a speeding bullet as the big reveal becomes our inner truth. we all don shield-maiden gear trying not to sink into the San Andres fault or LA tar pit of despair. Every emotion from past beyond time, we do not even remember, sticks to us like an electrical charge and winter dust particles.  emotional tar and feathers has a way of sticking to you until you are ready to let go. Most times it is all about self and not another.

During this time of cleaning and purification we are all stripped down to our emotional birthday suit  trying to catch a cool breeze. The feeling of drowning is seems real as we learn to swim in deeper waters.  The dross is consumed by the summer phoenix star alignment as it flies thru the fires over and over again.

Hold tight to whatever is your blessing, as it will keep you a float until the tides are clear. Distraction and pending disaster keeps everyone busy. Running about and amuck like the mad hatter we leave the tea party, seeking the many rabbit holes of possibly.  Meeting your mark is not necessarily a date with destiny, for what you marked thru out history is as varied as apples in a cherry orchard.  the water level changes as the world swims into the month of liquid learnings from see to shining sea

‘Day out of time Portal’

On July 25th we enter the day out of time portal, a place were all and nothing exists simultaneously. A powerful place of flux that could tie the ‘string theory in a bow’. The Mayan ‘day out of time’ is the last day of the galactic year in the Mayan calendar. This day is observed as a day free of time, a day of reverence. This ‘free day’ re-aligns the 13 Moon calendar to the solar year. It is aligned with the feminine aspect of nature and reckons them in time.

Each and every day we need to allow a few moments and ‘step out of time’ to realign and reckon our energies. To swim in the void for that timeless minute and realign with your heart and souls desire. Everything you had given up on and tossed to the wind landed in the sacred place known as ‘the day out of time’. The energies are loud and dynamic as we swim along the shorelines parallel trying to avoid the time rip tides. The sun explodes in all of her glory exposing her underbelly to all.

Your Weekly LightBlast: Foretelling Futures

Weekly LightBlast: Foretelling Futures

Blessed Being, as always, you are at a culmination point and a point of focus creating the future. This multidimensional time flow is the truth of your linearity. The past is within All, All past is within you. The future is forming in your now moment, though not yet visible—it’s full culmination into form depending on many moments. Your resonance is ever culminating and ever creating. What Future will your resonance Foretell?
This is an exciting time. You are culminating into an illumined being that connects, that informs with an amplified Light of Love.

Your empathic nature is your clue to connection. Have you become strong enough to feel and transform? Have you become strong enough to understand and apply change? What is your comfort level with your connective nature, that you are connected to those that are not of your same Loving focus? Is it culminating into a point of focus that sees beyond the point into the whole?

Your empowered Love is your resonance that Foretells your Future.

Fear disconnects, it dims. It is loud, but not enlightened. Perfect as it is, for it is a mechanism of resonance that creates an individual that chooses to evolve beyond it. All experience offers a choice of evolution or devolution, of connection or disconnection. Yet the details of these must be chosen by an individual in a moment. In one moment a “yes” may evolve you, in another—the opposite. Do not fear the “incorrect” answer, for all answers create and continue to call you to more empowered Love. It is the nature of evolution. Movement creates.

Your physical individuality is a clue that you, as an individual, must be so in Love with Life that the Love of Self is first paramount. For when an individual chooses for the Self from true Love, All Life is benefited. In this state, all that is chosen will have been observed through your powerful empathic connection with Life. This creates a being that is connected, enlightened with Love, and creating a future of empowered individuals—diverse, divine, united.

Choice is the door to connection, only an individual can choose to open it and walk through.

Foretelling Futures is no longer a matter of prediction, to speak words of possibility as if they are fact. It is now your time to inform the future, to speak loudly with your Love, your choice, your energy, your flow. This involves commanding your own energy and boldly emanating your choices into your future. Apathy, non-participation, anger or fear suppression, allowing your victimhood or feeling of powerlessness to dominate yourself—these all effect your future. With this resonance, you are Foretelling a Future of the same.

Participate first with your own healing to empower your Inner Being, then begin to add the outer world into your focus and connect more. This requires a courage of authenticity with yourself that is paramount for your empowerment.

Do not fear your own authenticity. If it is present, instead of letting your anger or fear implode within you, most often in ways unseen as a direct connection, allow it to transform into a new doorway for yourself and the choice of others. Your positive thinking, with the resonance of denial and avoidance, has no value of creating. Your positive thinking, with the resonance of courage to trust yourself and Life, creates a new available doorway. Always there, yet now available, the veil has been lifted, your resonance has aligned. Your future responds.

As we sit to Blast Foretelling Futures, we are boldly emanating our Love into our lives, unabashedly choosing to connect with Life. We are observing our healthy boundaries, a flow that honors sharing rather than just sacrifice. We are authentic in our feelings and allowing the evolution to begin within and grow exponentially with the co-creation of Life. We are empowered, amplified, and Lighting up our world, signaling the cosmos that our Light has won our world. The battle, it was inside us first, but we found our Light. We are never letting fear or foe dim our Divinity again. Our Future isinformed. Blast on!

The Witches Creed

The Witches Creed

Hear Now the words of the witches, the secrets we hid in the night,
When dark was our destiny’s pathway, that now we bring forth into light.
Mysterious water and fire, the earth and the wide-ranging air,
By hidden quintessence we know them, and will keep silent and dare.
The birth and rebirth of all nature, the passing of winter and spring,
We share with the life universal, rejoice in the magical ring.
Four times in the year the Great Sabbat returns, and the witches are seen
At Lammas and Candlemas dancing, on May Eve and old Hallowe’en.
When day-time and night-time are equal, when sun is at greatest and least,
The four Lesser Sabbats are summoned, and Witches gather in feast
Thirteen silver moons in a year are, thirteen is the coven’s array.
Thirteen times at Esbat make merry, for each golden year and day.
The power that was passed down the age, each time between woman and man,
Each century unto the other, ere time and the ages began.
When drawn is the magical circle, by sword or athame of power,
Its compass between two worlds lies, in land of the shades for the hour.
This world has no right then to know it, and world of beyond will tell naught.
The oldest of Gods are invoked there, the Greatest of magic is wrought.
For the two are mystical pillars, that stand at the gates of the shrine,
And two are the powers of nature, the forms and the force divine.
The dark and the night in succession, the opposites each unto each,
Shown forth as a God and a Goddess: of this our ancestors teach.
By night he’s the wild wind’s rider, the Horn’d One,
the King of the Woodland, the dweller in green forest glades.
She is youthful or old as she pleases, she sails the torn clouds in her barque,
The bright silver lady of midnight, the crone who weaves spells in the dark.
The master and mistress of magic,That dwell in the deeps of the mind
Immortal and ever-renewing, with power to free or to bind.
And Do What You Will be the challenge, so be it love that harms none,
For this is the only commandment. By Magic of old, be it done!

Travectio Equitum/Rowana

In ancient Rome, this was the parade of the cavalry in front of the temple of Castor and Pollux, the great Twin Horsemen, men, to thank them for their part in the victory of Lake Regillus in 496 B.c. The parade consisted of 5,000 riders wearing purple togas with red stripes and decorated with olive garlands.

This day is sacred to the Goddess of the rowan tree, Rowana-patroness of the secret knowledge of runes. The wood of the rowan tree is used for making protection amulets, and the wood is especially efficacious when cut on this day.

Magickal Fridays

 

Friday falls at the end of the work week for many of us, and that means we get a chance to relax for a little bit! Mark your Fridays with colors like pink and aqua, and metals such as copper. This is a day ruled by the planet Venus, so it should be no surprise that Venus and Aphrodite – goddesses of love and beauty – are associated with Fridays. This is a day named for the Norse goddess Freyja, so be sure to take a moment to honor her as well.

Gemstones associated with Friday include coral, emerald and rose quartz, and plants like strawberries, apple blossoms and feverfew are also related. This is a good day to do spellwork associated with family life and fertility, sexuality, harmony, friendship, growth. Take advantage of Friday’s correspondences and plant a seed, make something grow, and enjoy your blessings

*Note: There are a lot of disputes as to the origins of the word Friday, because there is still a great deal of discussion as to whether it was named for Freyja or Frigga, and whether they were the same deity or two separate ones. Some scholars believe that while they may have eventually become two distinctly different goddesses, they could have had their origins in a single, common Proto-Germanic deity.

The Witches Friday

 

The Witches Friday

 

Friday is traditionally considered the sixth day of the week, falling between Thursday and Saturday, as it does in countries that adopt a Sunday-first convention (see Days of the week for more on the different conventions). In countries adopting the Monday-first, and, in work-based conventions, it is the fifth day of the week.

The name Friday comes from the Old English frigedæg, meaning the day of Frige the Anglo-Saxon form of Frigg, the Germanic goddess of beauty. In most Germanic languages it is named after Freyja—such as Freitag in Modern German, vrijdag in Dutch, fredag in Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish—but Freyja and Frigg are frequently identified with each other. The word for Friday in most Romance languages is derived from the name of Venus such as vendredi in French, venerdì in Italian, viernes in Spanish, and vineri in Romanian. In Hindi, Friday is Shukravar, named for Shukra, the Sanskrit name of the planet Venus. Russian uses an ordinal number for this day of the week– piatnítsa, meaning “fifth.” Similarly, the Portuguese is sexta-feira.

The modern reason why Friday the 13th is considered unlucky is said to come from Friday October the 13th, 1307. On this date, the Pope of the church in Rome in conjunction with the King of France, carried out a secret death warrant Against “the Knights Templar”. The Templars were terminated as heretics, never again to hold the power that they had held for so long. The Grand Master, Jacques DeMolay, was arrested and before he was killed, was tortured and crucified. The destruction of the Templar Knights was so complete and terrible that it will always be remembered as an unlucky day.

Astrology
In astrology Friday is connected with the planet Venus. This associates Friday with love, peace, and relaxation, as well as, with emotional intensity and quashed dreams. And also is connected with the Astrological sign Libra.

Today We Celebrate…

Mount Fuji Climbing (Japan)
FUCHI

Themes: Inspiration; Courage; Safety (protection); Fire (ancient); Skill (sports); Relationships

Symbols: Mountains; Fire

About Fuchi:
This goddess gave her name to the sacred volcano Fujiyama. As a fire goddess, she rules natural energy (heat) sources, and also those generated in our hearths, homes, and hearts. This energy, along with summer’s sun, joins together in our life today, generating strength, endurance, keen vision, and relationships filled with genuine warmth.

To Do Today: July and August mark the climbing season at Mount Fuji. For most people, attempting this is a pilgrimage of sorts dedicated to “climbing the mountain because it’s there.” On a deeper level, however, the mountain houses the deities of Shinto tradition, challenging all who dare visit to stretch their limits and do their very best. While most of us can’t go to Japan to visit the goddess in her abode, we can climb stairs to help us reconnect with Fuchi’s uplifting powers. Today, instead of using elevators, climb stairs whenever and wherever possible. As you do, visualize the area(s) in your life that could use a boost from Fuchi’s energy, those areas that really challenge you somehow, or those where emotional warmth seems lacking. When you reach the top, claim your reward with some type of affirmation (such as I am strong, I am loving), and then act on this change with conviction!

The fairest or foulest day of the week.

The Sky This Week: July 15 – July 17

The Sky This Week: July 15 – July 17

 

Friday, July 15
For observers in North America, the Moon appears 3° above Saturn this evening. The ruddy 1st-magnitude star Antares in Scorpius the Scorpion lies 10° below the Moon while Mars blazes well to the trio’s right.

Saturday, July 16
If you like observing challenges, tonight is your night. Mercury passes just 0.5° (the diameter of a Full Moon) north of Venus in the early evening sky. From 40° north latitude, the two lie less than 4° high in the west-northwest 20 minutes after sunset. With a flat horizon and pristine skies, you might just glimpse the pair through binoculars. At magnitude –3.9, Venus will be the easier of the two to spot (Mercury glows at magnitude –1.0).

Sunday, July 17
Observers of the outer solar system should target Uranus this week before the Moon sheds its unwanted light into the predawn sky. The best time to look for it is shortly before twilight begins around 4 a.m. local daylight time. Uranus then lies 40° high in the northeast among the background stars of Pisces the Fish. This morning, use binoculars to find the magnitude 5.8 planet about 4° west of 4th-magnitude Omicron (o) Piscium and 3° north of 5th-magnitude Mu (m) Psc. A telescope reveals Uranus’ blue-green disk, which spans 3.5″.

Your Cosmic Weather Report for Friday 15th – Sunday 17th July

Your Cosmic Weather Report for Friday 15th – Sunday 17th July

Author: Jane Lyle

Friday 15th July – Sunday 17th July:

It’s a bit of a rollercoaster of a weekend. Rebellion, strong desires to reform or reinvent things, plus a focus on what’s unusual or even deeply weird promise to create those familiar, restless feelings all around us.

Compromise, making adjustments, and staying calm will all help smooth the rough edges. We can then find the deep emotional healing and harmony that’s also present over the next few days. This can be especially helpful if you’ve been battling with difficult circumstances, anger, or negativity that’s rooted in the past.

It’s a turning point time if you’ve got planets between 24 – 26 degrees in your natal horoscope. What you’ve been dealing with this year – perhaps particularly in February and June – may have been a real challenge, but here’s an opportunity to find a fresh solution or even a conclusion.

This weekend’s aspects are:

Sun in Cancer square Uranus in Aries, 24 degrees

Mercury conjunct Venus, 5 degrees Leo

Sun in Cancer trine Mars in Scorpio, 25 degrees. They form a grand water trine with Chiron at 25 Pisces, exact on Sunday, 17th July
