January 2017 Ascension Energies

January 2017 Ascension Energies

December Review

December began with an emotional intensity that moved into an emotional detachment for many. This is a precursor to the 2017 energy.

December initiated some deep patterns beginning a new layer of shift within humanity, though that is not visible on the outer experience. I saw patterns of abuse resolving to new levels as inner change continues to rise to the surface and dissipate.

This is the flow of these times—as humanity ascends, the discord shakes out and shapes into new form. A new you, a new union.

The energy of December offered practice in self-nurturing. Learning to be your own well-spring of support, even while it is appropriate and necessary at times to give and receive support. Humanity has generally interacted from dominate/subservient positioning, so this is a necessary step into more Empowered Sovereignty (2017 energy).

This is why Ascension is about being consciously and actively focused on the Light, the quantum information, your inner world—because that is where real change begins. The focus on your thoughts and emotions is about utilizing your power to reshape Life from within, within the quantum realm. Peace and patience are key to creating the (k)new within the chaos of the current human condition.

December heralds a trajectory of choice that diverges the path of connection. ;o) A quiet within the chaos.

2017 Overview

Areon is calling 2017 The Year of The Empowered Sovereign. Within the human experience duality, separation, and physical conditionality are obvious. But they’re not the whole story. The Divine Human experience also includes the unification with the subtle realm of Oneness, connection, and unconditionality. 2017 will call Lightworkers to honor their inner uniqueness and power more boldly. It’s an inside job.

The Empowered Sovereign.

THE honors your uniqueness. In all of timespace, you are unique. With all of your parallel lives, your timelessness, your infinite nature—your unique perspective adds to the totality of perfection that Life is. Do you honor your uniqueness and all of the beautiful uniqueness around you? That which stirs you to compassion, to courage, to a new direction, to a new connection?

EMPOWERED honors your work. In this realm of time and space, your unique perspective leads you to unique choice, which leads you to unique action. It is always available to you on the inner realm. The past tense of empowered is a clue to this timelessness. You already own it. Pro-claim it!

SOVEREIGN honors your divinity. You are the supreme ruler of your inner domain, the realm within which you connect with the Oneness, potential, God, unconditionality, and Love—no matter what the external circumstance presents. You hold court within, the ultimate judge, ruler, and decider of your inner realm. Does the outside dominate you, or do you choose your inner action (interaction)? It’s your response-ability.

The Flavour of 2017

Because there is an increased focus on inner empowerment and honoring your sovereignty in 2017, we can expect to continue to see humanity polarizing more. For many this will look like strife, divisiveness, and chaos, but for others it will be a more subtle realm experience. Like an understanding of a differences and potentials before an actualization of choice.

There is likely going to be quite a bit of surprising experiences in the mainstream. Your Light work will be to look for the potentials that are forming. I’m shown this polarization as cell mitosis—division is life continuing, expanding, a new “generation.”  But there is a connection to the whole and what is being created on a larger level that is the broader truth. You are creating the future. Don’t let the outside world confuse your vibration. Areon says this polarization will feel like “bigger gaps,” so be the bridge of connection.

In 2017 look for more emotional detachment at times, more ah-ha moments, and yes, more discord releasing (likely stronger in the first 4 months of the year). At times this may feel like bigger waves that pass more quickly, so in the midst of change keep your eye on the prize of more freedom and empowerment with each shift. For others (or at other times), 2017 will feel more neutral, like you’ve “been there done that.” It may surprise you that you aren’t getting more upset at circumstances. Mark your progress and create from this more empowered stance rather than a fear response.

Look for clearer vision within, that your focus can bring you clarity, with less fear about “am I doing it right?” There is a simple yet powerful exercise offered in the January video.

2017 will offer some tests of personal responsibility, so observe your integrity, your intentions, and your motivations. This ability to honestly self-observe and assess change is a powerful, powerful, powerful part of Ascension. Can you do that without negative judgment or fear? A weak ego will avoid (go subservient) or distract (go dominant), so as you can observe both challenge and triumph with more ease, you will find more rapid and easier change. And change is constant.

I also feel some exciting support in 2017 that in many ways feels like much of the clean slate/reset energy that kept surfacing in 2016 (not the easiest of years!). I especially feel a powerful wave of this coming in February.

All of this is creating a more empowered you that is more “in the moment” rather than reacting from fear of the past or future. Which brings us right into January energies…

January Energies

There is a pattern of dominance/subservience releasing that is a deep wave. Most can’t see the movement of it yet. 2016 brought a lot of release as you refined and clarified (the Year of Clarity) yourself. It created a momentum of humanity standing up in ways that aren’t always pretty or easy. This wave will continue to grow.

There is a pattern of “enabling” that is changing. It begins with a release of past traumas that set up a disempowerment or fracture within that can keep one interacting from past fear. The past, no matter what occurred, offers the potential of empowered support for the present, which builds the future.

Many sensitive people, Lightworkers, empaths, etc. were overwhelmed by the pain and circumstances of the past and are unconsciously reacting rather than choosing in the present. Again, that ability to self-observe, self-nurture, and support yourself into change (even when you receive support from others) is a vital part of humanity changing.

Releasing Trauma, Realizing Empowerment

As you release trauma, work toward forgiveness and neutrality, and seek more peace and ease in your internal realm, you are simultaneously building your strength and clarity. As you release, you activate; as you activate you release. As you release trauma, your “real eyes” become clearer and you can see the truth of your divinity. Here we come full circle. Your wholeness. Your Empowered Sovereignty moves up to a new level in 2017, the energetics of Ascension are compelling humanity into more empowerment. You are a forerunner of this because you are actively focused on your Loving evolution. With great power, comes great responsibility. ;o)

In general January may feel a bit distracting with activity, but it will begin a catalyst of movement that may feel a little removed as well as deep. Your work is always the same, maintain a positive healthy focus of Love while being boldly “grounded” in reality. This anchors the new energies and your inherent divinity into your life and on Earth rather than creating patterns of avoidance.

Your power is immense and now you may notice more internal progression (after the workout of 2016!) and more external energetic support. Enjoy the quiet moments of January. They will be silent reminders that you are on the right track. This is more natural to us than it sometimes feels. Love and improvement are the natural pull of Life.

In Summary

2017 is going to be a fast-moving, intense year in many ways. Yet for those on a path of conscious Ascension, you may notice healthy detachment (almost surprisingly after 2016!) helping you to remain more neutral and focused in the midst of intensity. This will benefit you and humanity.

Remind yourself of the amazing work you did in 2016 and know that 2017 will be a wonderfully transformative year of new beginnings (it’s a “1” year numerologically – a new beginning) that are calling you to open to receive the support of Life flowing through you. You are Life in human form and cherished beyond measure. See that in yourself and in All Life and keep enhancing Life with your blessed presence. Happy 2017!

2017 Energy Reports: Releasing These in a Segmented Series

2017 Energy Reports: Releasing These in a Segmented Series

Aloha love family,

I am working on the 2017 Energy Report(s) in many different segments, because of how much information there is, the different dimensions and collectives there are, and how each dimension will experience is vastly different. Those who have been doing this process intentionally will understand this….

I will be typing these up in segments and am not sure if it will be 2 segments or 10… we will find out… They will all be titled: 2017 Energy Report: (Then followed by the primary focus of each report.) I hope to voice record them as well at some point, yet vibrationally all has to align for me to accomplish everything here.

What is coming, like in the previous linear years, when we “see”, we have to take great care in how we share the information, because each perceives this information differently. When I gained “prophetic abilities” a years ago, a whole new level of responsibility also came forth. There is much that we do not share, because it is so vastly mis-understood and for many, we choose not to project such things “creating a belief, fear or conceptualized reality”. We present in a way that this information can be utilized as a tool to work with in order to experience this huge process much easier.  We do realize that experience is necessary to give one a “reference point to understand all of this”, until experience is no longer required in order to “get it” fully from within. Those who are totally open and ready, it’s a very different experience than those who are not. Other times, it’s totally appropriate to say certain things to stir all up, to challenge fixed/limited human mindsets, to create confusion so that clarity can be achieved. Confusion is the human stretching/challenging the “boxes” of realities created and believed as “real”. Challenging realities is what often opens the door for others realities not previously perceived to become visible. One’s heart has to open FULLY for this to occur. Fear becomes a motivator instead of being “frozen” in time. We “work” to move those ready beyond the space of “needing” fear (perceived as loss or threats) as a tool to open up/step-up/do what it takes to shift realities intentionally and as love here. Fear creates one experience, love creates another. Each are always available. The parallel created/timeline activated is determined by either unconscious or conscious actions…

What’s coming is all-over-the place if we lump it all into one box. We have to separate it out by dimensions to explain it, so that each vibrating in and out of different dimensional experiences can identify with which dimension they are currently creating/experiencing, so as to choose to shift intentionally, therefore changing dimensions. It is that easy. The “hard part” is the achieving of the physical body’s OVERALL vibrating at that highest frequency all of the time, to actually physically gain the ability to not vibrate physically back into (old) unconscious one again and the ability to ACHIEVE YOUR HIGHEST ONE in the physical here.

Because absolutely everything is a part of this, every reality, every occurrence, every part of your body, your mental constructs, your emotions, your physical body density (physical matter/space/mass), the Light Quotient integrated into your physical body (LightBody), the amount of evolved/formed crystals (Crystalline/Christed Consciousness) formed within your physical body structure, the amount of embedded higher light codes, the amount of density that has been released, the amount of SPACE held in your body (yes, as a Galactic), the evolution of your physical body occurs as you open your heart fully, bring the walls down, open/stretch your mind continually (Higher/Universal Mind), the more your entire neural network has been re-wired, your organs/glands (systems) have been re-worked, the less your human controls the process out of fear and you honor the process as a multi-dimensional here.

The 12/20/16 showings of “The Extreme of Extremes” now begins as we have CROSSED THE THRESHOLD into the next phase that continaully begins, today being a marker point for our “new year”. Nothing is linear and all occurs vibrationally. We have now reached that vibration. This is occurring “faster” and “faster”, as the cycling process has been increased substantially now.

Over the last two days, we began a HUGE TEMPLATE WIPING and Operating System Upgrade process, with new light encodements/filaments being embedded into our’s & Earth Gaia’s Physical Bodies to bring our Crystalline LightBody Structures further online here. Deep cellular cleansings and deep core SOUL “work” is occurring on a multi-dimensionally/on an energetic level. Every cell in our body going through deep CORE re-sequencing right now.

These intricate re-coding & re-calibration processes are as complicated or as simple as we require/allow them to be. Honoring the process and being totally present and aware, as it can be quite uncomfortable for our human, yet very easy for us as Galactics here. This discomfort is also cellular cleansing that needs to occur. Discomfort is often the energy that presents as we transcend our own human’ness and deep cellular programming held within. Breaking points are necessary for the really super big shifts. These can be extremely physical, emotional or just energetic. How physically dense (matter) or light (energy) we are will dictate HOW we experience this.

Today we continue deep cellular cleansings and template re-writes, so be kind to yourself and honor what your body speaks to you. If you feel to sleep, sleep. The integration process will occur easier, yet your human will have issues. Early years, “Deal with it”, were my higher selve’s words along the way…. Our human minds don’t work when huge operating system upgrades are occurring (which are continual now). Linear work is a great struggle for those of us that have this as a part of how we provide here. It takes every moment of “forward movement” for us to accomplish all vibrationally to adhere to linear parameters, yet not being bound by these. Once the process is complete, all will “speed up” for you to re-align/to re-align for you, with all functioning at a “higher processing rate” than ever before. Be patient, for when this occurs, portals/gateways open huge “releasing” everything that was “on the other side” to arrive/materialize that was not physically available/accessable before.

StarGate alignments now increase beyond anything before. These BRING ALL INTO ALIGNMENT FOR US and create the “convergence” of a multitude of dimensions in this “space” here. It’s also when Inner Earth “vibrations” amp up/increase and Galactic Portals open in order to vibrationally converge multiple dimensions/galaxies/timelines in our physical one here.

I will write more on this in other segments and post links back to my website to read these soon. So very much love to you! ♥

Advent of Isis

In ancient Egypt this day was set aside to honor the Goddess Isis, the Queen of Sorcery, Mother of the Moon, and Life of the Nile. At this time a ceremony known as the Advent of Isis was performed to honor the Goddess who brought civilization, peace, and prosperity to all of Egypt.

To the Egyptians Isis was the female principle of Nature–the Goddess of 1,000 names. She was revered as “the great magician” who protected her son Horus from predators and other dangers. Because she protected her son, many believed she would protect mortal children from perils of daily life as well.

The Witches Spell-A-Day for January 2nd – Getting Divine Help During a Mercury Retrograde

 ♛ 61. PLATZ - Bestes Tier Blingee ~ by Nina ♛Getting Divine Help During a Mercury Retrograde

Several times a year, the planet Mercury seems to be moving backward in the sky. This is called Mercury retrograde. While other planets also move retrograde. Mercury seems to be the most troublesome. Things break down. People lose their tempers and make ridiculous mistakes. Murphy’s law — “if anything can go wrong, it will” — take over. When Mercury is retrograde, we are warned not to sign contracts and to think before we speak.

During a Mercury retrograde, speak to the God himself:

Great Mercury, even though you are
walking backward right now, please
remember that we mortals do better
when going forward. Lend me your
winged hat, which I will wear as a
thinking cap that will straighten my
thoughts and ideas and keep me from
doing stupid things. Keep me safe until
you go forward.

Or more directly (so to speak):

Tricky planet, go direct right now!
Pesky Murphy, go away, don’t bow!

Let’s Talk Witch – Just Exactly Is A Witch?

Winter Wolf Mother Just Exactly Is A Witch?

What is a Witch? A witch is any person who practices magick. Witchcraft is considered a practice, craft or even an art form. It’s important to note that not all witches are Wiccan. A witch can be a person of any faith who practices magick. Learning about magick and witchcraft might be why you’re reading this book; to learn about witchcraft, magick, and Wicca. First, you’ll need a brief history of witchcraft.

Those with knowledge have been either highly regarded or feared. Those who had knowledge that was dangerous to those in power have been labeled all sorts of things to instill fear in the populace to ensure their disposal. This had been the case for most of our past.

You may have learned about the Witch trials in Salem. This was one such case of those in power using their authority to label a boogie man. As was the inquisitions burning of Witches in Europe. The Church needed to blame a boogie man for the plague.

Witches haven’t always been viewed as negative. In certain cultures, those who practice magick have been highly regarded. Such as in ancient Egyptian and Viking cultures.

Even your local pharmacist or doctor would have been considered a witch 1,000 years ago for the knowledge they possess. The knowledge of the healing properties of herbs was the norm for witches or the local village wise person.

Moon Lore

Snowin in wolf landMoon Lore

A Full Moon during Yuletide foretells in British lore an abundant harvest next year.

A halo around the moon foretells bad weather or an unwelcome guest.

Full Moons are good for divination and crystal-gazing.

Souls of the Dead, no matter where they have gone are able to make contact on the three nights of the full moon (the night before, the night of, of the night after).

Some folks say that the fifth night of a full moon is good for conceiving a child.

A red moon predicts a day of high winds.

Misty moons promise the coming of rains.

The moon clear and beautiful presages excellent weather to follow.

Lottery numbers dreamed or thought of during the New Moon are very lucky.

A Daily Ritual for Greeting the Moon

13. WB Tierfreund-GruppeA Daily Ritual for Greeting the Moon

The best way to develop your own personal relationship with the Moon is to interact with it directly, every day. Try integrating this brief ritual into your daily life for the entirety of one lunar cycle.

This is especially useful for those who are just starting to get acquainted with Moon magic, Wicca, or any other Nature-based spiritual path. It can take as little as two minutes, or longer if you like, depending on when you’re able to work it into your schedule from day to day.

You will need to know when to expect the Moon to be visible in your area in order to plan. This information can easily be found online, and you can also refer to the rising and setting times chart.

For best results, stand outside under the Moon and gaze directly at it. If this isn’t possible, look at it through a window.

Truly look at it. See if you notice any new details about its exact shape, its shadowy features, and its changing image as it disappears behind passing clouds, then reemerges.

Even if it’s raining, you can still get a general sense of where the Moon is in the sky, so aim your focus there. If the Moon simply isn’t in the sky at any point when you’re awake, close your eyes and visualize it—as it appears in its current phase— as clearly as you can.

Spend some time silently communing with the lunar energy and when you feel ready, say the following words (or compose your own). If you’re unable to do the ritual in private, you can say them silently.

“Today/ tonight I greet you, Moon, with joy.
Thank you for your divine light, your Goddess energy, your sacred power.
I open myself to your mysteries and welcome your eternal wisdom.
So let it be.”

Magickal Applications for Mondays

LES LOUPS BLANCSMagickal Applications for Mondays

 

Monday is named after the moon. The Latin term for Monday is Dies Lunae (“moon’s day”); in the Old English language, this day was Monandaeg; in Greek, it was Hermera Selenes. All of these different names and languages translate to the same thing: the “day of the moon.”

Working with the different phases of the moon is an important skill that takes a bit of time for Witches to learn. So why not cut to the chase and experiment with the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon in all of its magickal energies and aspects?

Magickally, Monday encourages the lunar energies of inspiration, illusion, prophetic dreams, emotions, psychic abilities, travel, women’s mysteries, and fertility.

The Witches Guide to Monday

WinterThe Witches Guide to Monday

In the word Monday, we can see part of the word Moon. In the romance languages such as Italian or Spanish, this day of the week is called Lunes and clearly relates to the word lunar.On Mondays, a variety of magick may be worked. Because Monday centers on the energies of the Moon, things like psychism, dreams, feminine energy, health, success in spiritual pursuits, domestic matters, and things of family origin are especially important this day.

Mondays are best for love magick and anything concerning home or family, thus old saying, Mondays child is fair of face, which seems clearly to relate to the themes of love and health.

Angels of Monday are Gabriel, Arcan, Missabu, and Abuzaha. Arcan is known as the king of the angels of air and the “ruler” of Monday. Abuzaha (Abuzohar) serves Monday, and is very responsive to invocations and ritual magick. Missabu is a ministering angel of Arcan.

Check whether the moon is waning or waxing to determine what your spell will be. During waning moons, do spells to rid yourself of obstacles or for wisdom and protection. During waxing moons do magic for increase of any kind or to draw something into your life.

On Mondays, the best hour to work is moonrise. Get this information from your local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac.

Two Faced Janus

The month of January derives its name from that of the Roman god Janus, the god of beginnings whose name is in turn linked with the latin word ianua, “a door.” As the deity who presided over doorways and gateways, Janus was envisaged as having two heads, one facing forward and the other looking backward, with which to observe any coming and goings: one of his names was therefore Janus Bifrons, or “Two-headed Janus.” January is the month in which we similarly look back at the old year, while looking forward to the year to come.

The Power of Two

Absorb the power of two on this second day of the month of two-headed Janus. This number can represent the two sexes and duality, but also balance. If you want to formalize a loving partnership with someone this year, you could string two ringson a necklace and wear them close to your heart.

Today Is Monday, January 2nd, We Celebrate…..

arctic wolvesToday Is Monday, January 2nd, We Celebrate…..

Shigoto Hajime (Japan)
BENTEN

Theme: Luck, wealth, beauty

Symbols: Boats, dragons, guitars, snakes, saltwater

About Benten: As the Japanese goddess steering the New Year’s Treasure Ship, Benten is a perfect figure to call on for financial improvements this year. She is the only goddess of luck in Japan and is referred to as queen of the seas and patroness of gamblers. Japanese women invoke her to bring beauty and fortune into their lives. Benten is depicted as riding a gold dragon, playing a biwa (guitar), and sending out white snakes with her missives. Her robe bears a jewel that grants wishes.

To Do Today: To welcome Benten’s prosperity into your home, sprinkle a little saltwater on the threshold today. Or, to generate beauty within and without, soak in a bath of Epsom salts while listening to guitar music.

The Shigoto Hajime festival honors the beginning of the work week in Japan, where it is believed that good omens for work begin today. If you want to get a peek at how your employment will fare this year, try divination by dice (a traditional gambler’s tool). Hold one die in your hand, ask for Benten to provide a sign, then role it. The results can be interpreted as follows:

(1) a negative omen
(2) feeling torn between two good options
(3) a good omen
(4) financial security
(5) not much material change, but improvements in interoffice relationships
(6) an excellent omen; roll again. If you get two more sixes, Benten’s treasures will be yours!

About the Month of January

winter wolvesAbout the Month of January

January starts the year with a plethora of fun, frolicsome festivity. The new year in particular is celebrated by at least 170 nations. The month gets its name from Jana, a moon goddess, which explains the abundance of water-related observances this month (in esoteric traditions, the moon represents the water element). It’s also named for Janus (Jana’s husband), the gatekeeper of heaven, who sees the past and future. This couple oversees the year’s beginning by offering you refreshed perspective and hope for a better tomorrow.

In terms of energy, January focuses on beginnings. It’s a time for personal renewal, starting any beloved project, and sustaining those things already in progress. Magick for health, protection, and prosperity is particularly augmented by working during this month.
