Weekly LightBlast: Following Freedom

a message from Jamye Price

To view more of Jamye’s insight, please visit her website, Jamye Price

Blessed Being, Life on Earth is an experience of the dual nature of internal and external. You balance both to reach an Ascended state of being, moving beyond the separation of the two and into the connection of the two becoming One.

Freedom is an internal experience in your current physical reality.

You go within to find your choice. You go within and find your voice, that which seeks safety, connection, and expression. You go within to strengthen your vibrational uniqueness, the core of Freedom.

Following Freedom is the paradox of duality. That which seems opposite is same. Paradox is where the mind gives up its tight control to open to a new level of safety, connection, and expression. Paradox is where the passive and active forces meet. Paradox makes you stop, observe, and choose. It is where two opposites become One new truth. It is an internal experience.

To Follow, in this instance, indicates that your Freedom is a balance of strength and openness (vulnerability). The door is opened by your resonance, not by your force. ToFollow your Freedom is to discover it within, not to be shown an outer path that is pre-paved with perfection. Following Freedom is strengthening your ability to listen to your own heart, honor your own uniqueness, discover your own capabilities.

Following Freedom is the inner path of Self connecting to the outer path of Life, creating anew.

To discover your Self amidst the connected collective of humanity requires you find your own safety and connect with Life to manifest your freedom into form. It is the inner Freedom meeting outer circumstance and seeing past the limitation into the connection beyond. Follow your heart into your core of Love. You will see that same reflection in All Life, even opposition.

As we sit to Blast Following Freedom, we are honoring the whisper of our hearts calling us to Love more, beginning within. We are seeing the reflection of Love in All Life, whether we name it feather, flower, fauna, or foe. We are appreciating the challenges that call us to more inner strength, and enjoying the triumphs that call us to more outer connection. We are following the song of our hearts, singing freely, harmonizing the symphony of Life within. Blast on!

Daily Incantations & Enchantments for Everyday of the Month

Day 5

This is a Breakfast Blessing to be spoken over the first food you partake of upon waking. If you normally skip breakfast, now would be the time to have a piece of fruit, or something simple to nourish your physical self, as the blessing nourishes the spiritual.

I bless this food as it enters my body,
And saturates my soul with the pure energy of the
Universe.
I partake of each bite, and pause to give thanks.
As gratitude fills me, positivity emanates from every
pore
And surrounds me with a guiding light.
Thank you for all that I see, and all that I am.
And all that this day will bring.
Blessed be.

The Power of Positive Witchcraft: Daily Incantations & Enchantments: A Spell a Day for 30 Days
Garden Summerland

Celebrating Legends, Folklore and Spirituality 365 Days a Year for May 15th

Festival of Maia, Vesta, and Mercury

Today was sacred to the ancient Roman Goddess Maia, Goddess of Spring, and the wife of Vulcan. She was connected with fertility and the growth of all living things. Over time, she became confused with the Greek Goddess of the same name, who was the mother of Hermes, and the equivalent of the Roman Mercury.

On this day in ancient Rome, the Vestal Virgins (priestesses of Vesta) performed special ceremonies to regulate the water supply for the coming Summer. The rites were considered ered critical to the survival of Rome and the propagation of its crops. Additionally, this was the day when Roman citizens paid tribute to Mercury, the God of commerce and the marketplace. This was a prominent day of celebration, because Mercury’s help was considered crucial to maintaining the growing foreign trade that the Empire enjoyed and depended on.

Daily Witchcraft for Sunday

Solar pocket talisman

Here is a Witch craft that ensures that you carry a pocket full of sunshine at all times. Use this talisman to remind yourself that the sun’s power and energy is always with you. This will encourage your outlook on life to be sunny, and it can help keep any of your solar-themed spells going strong and yourself magickally motivated.

• Yellow- or orange-colored oven-bake clay such as Sculpey or Fimo
• A pinch of ground cinnamon
• A nail to inscribe the clay with
• A baking sheet
• Your oven

To begin, knead the orange or yellow clay to make it more flexible. As you do, add a pinch of the cinnamon (a solar herb) to the clay, and work it into the material. Next, flatten and shape out a small circle. Go for the size of a large coin-sized disc, about 1/4 of an inch or 6 mm thick. Now take the nail and gently inscribe a sun on one side of the talisman. Flip over to the back and inscribe the names of Helios and Sunna on the other side.

You can make this talisman depiction of the sun as simple or as elaborate as your artistic ability allows. Place the disc on the baking sheet, and bake the clay following the manufacturer’s directions-typically at r3o degrees; the length of time is approximately mately fifteen minutes, though it depends on how big your disc is. This is an estimate only, so read the directions on the oven-bake clay for further guidance.

When the talisman is done baking, allow it to cool. Then consecrate the talisman, and you’ll be ready to go! Here is a charm that will bless your new solar talisman. You can certainly add a solar-colored spell candle or crystals to this spell if you wish. Take a look at the correspondences and see what you would like to add to the spell to make it more personal. Once the talisman is finished, hold it up to the sunlight and repeat the consecration charm:

In Helios and Sunna’s name, this talisman I do bless
This pocket magick brings to me wealth, happiness, and success
I invoke the powers of the sun into this spell of mine
With harm to no one, this charm is done and sealed up with a rhyme.

Now clean up your craft supplies, tuck that talisman into your pocket, and enjoy the rest of your day.

Daily Magickal Application for Sunday, May 15th

The Latin term for Sunday, our first day of the week, is Dies Solis (“sun’s day”). In ancient Greek, it was called Hemera Heliou. In the Old English language, it was known as Sunnandaeg; in Middle English, Sonenday. All of these titles mean the same thing: the day of the sun.

What do you think of when you feel the sun shine down on you? What sorts of enchantments and energies do you think would be complementary to a day named after our closest star? Sunday brings those bright solar energies into your life and has the magickal correspondences of success, promotion, leadership, pride, light, generosity, warmth, fitness, and personal growth. Astrologically, the sun symbolizes the conscious self and rules the zodiac sign of Leo.

The charms and spells that would complement this magickal day of the sun are ones for personal achievements of any kind-such as if you are seeking fame and wealth, working for that much-deserved promotion at work, or being acknowledged for a job well done. Health issues, increasing personal power, or simply sticking to your diet and being proud of what you have accomplished all fall under the sun’s golden influence.
