Good Whatever Time You Get to Read This in the Southern Hemisphere

To our Southern Hemisphere readers, I am still working out a way to get you your horoscopes and daily everything when it is morning where you live. I think I almost have it figured out and hope to start the new week with both hemispheres getting daily things in the morning and not when your day is coming to a close. OK, I really need feedback from, our DownUnder brothers and sisters. I have set the “Daily Horoscope” and “Moon Phase” to post about 3:00 PM CT my Friday 5/31 afternoon. which if I figured the time right they should go live about 7:00 AM AEST on your Saturday, June 1st morning.

If these two posts work like I hope they will I can post information at an appropriate time for both hemispheres. When we da Sabbat gathering in the Coven Life chat room we have one circle but 2 rituals one for the Northern Sabbat and another ritual for the Southern Sabbat.

Since I started the Coven Life website I felt it is important that my students and/or visitors to the site learn about how magick is done and the Esbats and Sabbats are observed. We have quite a few articles written by my right-hand witch, Priestess Hypatia, who lives in Australia and has access to websites from there that I cannot see, about to bring up sitting the middle of the USA.

As I said last week when I took over WOTC there would be some minor changes. To me the most important thing is to get you the daily planetary positions, current moon phase, and daily horoscope, of course, I will attempt at some point so to add to the daily things for you. As far as posting information on the Southern Wheel of the Year they will be posted on covenlife.co

Please give me feedback on if the posts I did for the Southern Hemisphere come live on this website at about 7:00 AM AEDT. If you want it earlier in the morning then that I can change the post going live time easily.

 

Happy Wednesday Sisters and Brothers

th

Posts are going to really short today because I can barely keep my eyes open. We have had thunderstorms come through every night since Saturday. One of my familiars is terrified of thunder so if I’m asleep she wakes me up and wants a light on with her human cuddling her. If I’m still awake when the storm starts there is no going to sleep until after the thunder stops. Needless to say, my eyes are at half mast right after only 2 hours of sleep but you are important to me so here I am and now on to the posts…

In Honor of the Women, Men, and Animals that Served Our Country

This will be the only post for today. Please light a candle in memory of the people and animals who have died over the centuries to keep the restof of us safe.

I ask you to not only remember the brave men, women, and animals that served in the USA armed forces but also their family and friends. Remember to the men, women, animals, family, and friends of those who gave their life in the line of duty as a First Responder.

May those who remember rest peacefully in the Summerlands.

May their family and friends find comfort and support to help ease their grief.

So mote it be.

Greetings Sisters and Brothers

Why Lady Beltane takes Saturdays off from posting, answering comments and emails too. There are a few reasons the main one being I spend so much time on the computer to research other websites for information on different paths of paganism to present to the students in Coven Life’s different Witchcraft courses and now for cool and informative things for WOTC that I physically need one day I do not have to sit in my desk chair. Doing the research is a blessing to me as I learn more about the traditions I do and do not incorporate in my own solitary practice and as a teacher or mentor to those newer to The Craft then most of us it is an honor to learn new things and past them on to you and/or students on CL. So I make Saturdays a no screne time day the only exception once in a while is my Kindle if I’m reading a really good novel. Another reason is with having Fibromyalgia and somewhat bad arthritis through out my body I need a day to just kick back in another position besides sitting in my desk chair fingers typing away. I also have clinical depression and an anxiety disorder. So with all of these negative things that my physical body has, along with the mental, and emotional problems I need a day to hibernate, even my cell/mobile phone is shut off, to cleanse myself of all pain and any negative energy I have allowed to build up within me then I refill myself with positive emotions, be in a better place spiritualy, and not physically hurt so much. Now that the weather is warmer I also use the day to tend my gardens and just sit outside in my backyard watching my 2 canine familiars, Cleopatra a 10-year-old Min Pin and Starbabie a 7-year-old Long Hair Chihuahua, romp around and/or lay around soaking up vitamin D from Ra/the Sun. My husband drives me on errands I cannot walk to as I don’t drive. It’s a day of rejuvenation and family along with rest and no TV, Computers, Cell/Mobile plPhones interrupting me.

If you have a question or need to talk with me before Sunday put “Urgent” in the subject line because I check for “urgent” emails one time on Saturdays about 1:00 PM CT and will answer those. If it is something that can wait for one day please let it.

The only exception to this self imposed rule is the 2nd Saturday of every month when I host an Open Chat in Coven Life’s chatroom, informattion for the Open Chats can be found by clicking on Coven Life in WOTC’S menu than look for a box on the right-hand side of the Homepage for Coven Life’s Events. That week I take Sunday off.

Starting next Saturday I will have some posts scheduled to go live almost every Saturday.

Now I need to go enjoy Ra’s beautiful warmth and rejuvenation before it starts raining for about the 10th in a row. I wish each of you a weekend full of positive happenings and seeing the beauty of Mother Earth and all living thing upon her. Remember those small trash bags if you go for a walk, hike, or bicycle ride. We are the stewards that set the example for those who would harm her.

Blessed be dear ones.

The Psychology of Magic

This comes from the book Witchcraft an Alternative Path by Ann Moura copyright 2003, pages 114-116.

The Psychology of Magic

“Because time is fluid in Witchcraft, seen as a spiral that may be accessed at any point, it is not difficult to work magic with the future results in mind. The subconscious mind is accessed for magical work, and it is also the place where all of the activities of daily life first take place. Because of how the neural transmitters function, and the distance run by nerve impulses, all things known by the conscious mind actually take place earlier and are only remembered consciously. In other words, there is a time lag between an event and a person’s cognitive awareness of that event. This is why a person may not realize the bath water is too hot until after being in it a few moments — it just takes a while to register on the conscious mind. Meanwhile, the subconscious mind is already aware of the temperature. Witches practice opening the communication channel with the subconscious mind, so that in the tub example, a Witch would be aware before stepping into the tub that it is too hot. Most people simply go through life without noticing discrepancy of time, except when something called deja vu (“already seen”) occurs, and then they wonder why a place or event seems so familiar or has happened before. This is a clue that time does indeed spiral and you dip into it at will.

Since in deja vu experience you seem to know in advance what will happen, if only a short time, you can alter the event. What may be somewhat amusing is the reaction of other people involved in the event. Since they are not connectively using the subconscious mind and not aware as quickly as yourself, you may find they want to react to something that has not happened, giving them a puzzled pause. As an example, I once averted a disastrous dinner argument by keeping silent during the experience when I knew that I was “supposed” to make an innocent remark, which led to a fight the first time around. When the time came for my remark, I did not make it and the conversation at the table stopped cold, everyone turning to look at me! But I had changed history and the table chat resumed without the argument.

When you start altering the future, you may have multiple deja vus of the same event or experience. The meaning of this is that you ran the course of the event, did not like things turned out, changed it, ran the course again, and still did not like the results, so you are giving it another try or realigning the events prior to the deja vu to make the results more satisfactory. Another aspect, which you will begin to recognize with experience, is that there is a variation in the deja vu from what you knew it once was. That means your prior change has worked, and you are given a second chance with the new arrangement. This facet of time manipulation is characteristic of the Witch’s development of subconscious awareness. Witches are people who have refined their ability to process precognitive stimuli and hold on to it so they are able to then alter events before these even register on the conscious minds of other people.

The fluidity of time makes it possible for you to manipulate it so that you can stretch it out, making certain you are never late to any destination. the raising of energy you are working magic, the conscious mind is silenced or relaxed so the subconscious mind may come forward as the active principle. Doing drumming, breath work, chanting, and dancing during the raising of energy when in the Circle is a way to move yourself into an altered state. Drugs and alcohol are not good for this since these inhibit your awareness. When working magic, the subconscious mind creates the reality, which will then be perceived by the conscious mind.

To be a Witch, you have to be ready to live in multiple layers of reality with multiple worlds (Physical, astral, psychic, spiritual, etc.) since these are what you access when practicing your Craft. These worlds exist and are approached with mediation, astral projection, out of body experience, visits to Otherworld or Underworld, pathworking and spell casting. IN the ritual of casting the Circle, you create a space not only to hold the energy you raise, but one that is apart from the rest of the physical world. When you draw the cosmic lemiscate (Smaller INFINITY 2) over the altar, and say that you are standing between worlds, you say you are “in a place that is not a place, and in a time that is not a time” as a reminder for the subconscious mind to be open. You stand at the nexus of other worlds, where the magic you conduct may travel to affect your physical world.

 

Greetings on This COnfusing Monday Morning

th

Yes, I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I own WOTC so there might not be any regular daily posts until later on this week. Please read on for more information on how I plan on running WOTC, no worries no major changes why try to fix something that definitely is not broke, or what some might call me rambling…lol

As you might know, today is my first day of owning the marvelous website it took our beloved Lady Abyss years to build up. So I need your help to keep this site up to her high standards of bringing her brothers, sisters, and other readers things they want to read and/or use in their practice. I ask that you bear with me the first couple of weeks until I get my feet back on the ground because my broomstick and I are in the clouds this morning because of the honor bestowed upon me by Lady Abyss selling me her site. SHe emailed me a list about 6 inches long of the websites WOTC is allowed to use things from and link back to, so I need time to look at all of those sites. While I have been posting on WOTC on and off for about 5 or 6 years it was my own stuff I posted and not the day to day things. But with your help and patience, I will be back to posting divination things on a rotating base along with other I hope informative and interesting articles for you. As the picture for WOTC says I am the founder and owner of Coven Life, covenlife.co, which some of you know of from attending Esbat and/or Sabbat gatherings through and I with the help of my right-hand Witch, Priestess Hypatia, have courses for the novice, adept, and priest/priestess level witches. So I have two websites to post to and oversee what others post on them.

Witches Of The Craft and Its Domain are now for Sale

After 18 years spent on the internet and due to expensive lawyer fees coming soon, I have decided it is time to move on to the next stage of our lives. Therefore, the WOTC is now up for sale. It has not been an easy decision to make but I believe it is time for us to move on, hopefully to bigger and better things for each of us.

The site is currently valued at $45,000. But that is not the asking price for it. The price I have set for the sale of the WOTC is $5,000. If you are a member or Pagan group that would be interested in purchasing the site, the price is negotiable. It is my hope that someone will purchase the site and love it and care for it as we have over the many years.

Witches of the Craft is one of the oldest and most respected Pagan websites on the internet today. You will be purchasing a site that is well known and also has name recognization. The domain will come due later on this year at which time it can be transferred over to you. We also have a Blogger site (Witches Rec Room) and a Pinterest site which I will include in this purchase, if you want them also. If you are not interested in the other two sites, they will be deleted immediately after the sale is complete. Included in the purchase of the site, I will stay on for three months as a consultant and help you learn WordPress if you need for me too. As far as the store goes, when this site is sold, the store will disappear. The store is not included because of the various wholesalers we deal with.

The site does produce some revenue from the ads that are placed on the site by WordPress. It is nothing that is going to make you rich but it does help pay the internet bill. You can also decide whether you wish to keep the ads or remove them, that will totally be up to you.

So what are you getting:

Basically three sites for the price of one, if you want the other two, I will gladly hand the keys over to you. You are also getting a well established site, one which you do not have to start out and build it up. Between the Pinterest site, the Blogger site, the Facebook pages(which by the way, the minute this site is sold will be deleted) and this site, there are more than 45 million followers. I will stay on for three months to help you, if you need for me too but I will not be in the public eye nor make any posts.

I have not put this site for sale on any of the websites that sells sites yet. The reason being is as I stated earlier, I hope some one or some group purchases it and loves it and cares for it as we have all these years. This site has huge potential and it is my hopes that the new owners can soar higher and further than we have ever done. I am willing to work with anyone who is interested in purchasing the site. As I mentioned, I wanted to offer it to you first before I did a total stranger.

If you are interested in purchasing the WOTC and the other sites I mentioned, you can contact me at:

witches_of_the_craft@outlook.com

 

Thank you,

Lady of the Abyss

Daily Witches Rune for May 16 is The Birds

Daily Witches Rune for May 16

Daily Witches Rune

The Birds

Keywords: Unexpected news, change.

Meanings: The Birds Rune means some unexpected news that may alter your life completely, especially if this is the leading rune. Generally, the news will lead to a positive change but pay close attention to the nearest runes to determine its nature. It can also mean news of friends or family that you haven’t had contact with in quite a while. Letters and documents should be watched for as they may well bring happiness.

The Tarot Card for May 16 is The High Priestess

The Tarot Card of the Day

The High Priestess

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keywords: receptivity, passivity, potential, knowledge, secrets!

Astrological Correspondence: The Moon

The mysterious High Priestess closely guards her secrets and occult wisdom. This card symbolizes the unconscious, a concern with our internal worlds, spiritual forces, and the understanding of higher truths through dreams and intuition. As a wise woman the High Priestess is the goddess of fertility and is seen as a healer, possessing intuitive powers and clairvoyance, and striving to create harmony and inner balance. She emphasizes the necessity to get in contact with our inner self, to reflect and meditate, to trust our feelings, and to let dreams and intuition guide us. Observing – rather than participating or acting – the High Priestess can also represent platonic love, manipulation, a pause in a process that was progressing or even a standstill, causing doubt and confusion.

The Zodiac Signs As Superheroes…

Do you have what it takes to save the universe? If the signs were superheroes then each would have a different approach to rescuing victims and slaying villains. Whether it be with powers of invisibility, elasticity, impenetrability or even a range of high-tech gadgets – they’d all have their own unique style. Here’s what type of superhero each of the zodiac signs would be.

Aries: Superman/Supergirl.

 

The cape and the tights are a natural fit for Aries. Your sense of invincibility makes you feel pretty super human at times but there’s always this lingering urge to go higher, faster, stronger. The thought of not being tethered to the planet – being able to fly through the universe and bore to the centre of the Earth pricks both your ego and sense of adventure. Try to avoid Kryptonite and Lex Luther where possible.

Taurus: The Incredible Hulk.

 

The Taurus zodiac sign would most likely be the Hulk. You’re slow to burn but when you do lose control you appear to double in size. Rage is a motivating force that you can use to move immovable objects and objectionable people. Green may not be your color but there’s something oddly satisfying about a hero that just goes ballistic and smashes the crap out of everything.

Gemini: Deadpool.

 

Are Gemini personalities heroes or anti-heroes? Sometimes it can be hard to tell. They resemble the duality of superheroes like Deadpool. Smart talking, rude, oversexed, you enjoy the rapid fire world and need a hero with a badass name. Deadpool’s powers of regeneration are perfect for Geminis who typically get frustrated when things grow or heal too slowly for their liking. Team this power with lightening hand to hand combat and constant trash talking and Gemini could save the universe in the blink of an eye.

Cancer: Harry Potter

We reckon Harry Potter qualifies as a superhero cos he’s got powers and and vanquishes super villain Voldemort over and over again. As a Cancer zodiac sign you love all things magical and a world where nothing is as it seems. You connect with Harry’s humanity and the family he creates at Hogwarts and you love the prose of casting spells and transformation – your favourite thing is the cloak of invisibility – with this Cancer could ensure their loved ones were safe at all times without being accused of stalking.

Leo: The Flash.

 

Everything about the Flash just matches the Leo personality – from the name, the red suit, the lightening bolt – and the super speed thing too. Your love for all things explosive closely resembles this heroes ability to create a giant electrical storm out of nowhere. And just like the Flash’s super speed abilities – you can go from 0 – 100 in the blink of an eye.

Virgo: Dr Who.

 

The Virgo zodiac sign would be a quirky and eccentric kind of hero like Doctor Who. Since you’re a professional organizer you might find the idea of storing the entire contents of a house inside of a phone box sounds oddly appealing. Just like the Doctor you’re also a keen problem solver who doesn’t require flashy powers and grandstanding to get the job done.

Libra: Spider-Man.

 

There’s something Libra-like about the rhythmic way that Spider-man travels, looping through metropolis like acrobats on silken threads. If you’re a Libra you’ll love the spider dance and the super sensory aspect of being part arachnid. As a sign that strives for balance and avoids violence you imagine that Spidey could just weave a net to catch your enemies – all without a single drop of blood being shed.

Scorpio: Batman.

 

Of course the dark night is Scorpios superhero pick – as they are basically just a blood transfusion away from being a vampire. You’ll love the gothic overtones and the menacing underbelly of Gotham City. The brooding aura around this hero along with the slightly damaged psyche are things that Scorpio can relate to well.

Sagittarius: Antman.

 

Sure, being tiny might not be the most show stopping power. But as an adventure loving Sagittarius you’re eventually going to run out of exotic destinations to visit and as a micro superhuman endless new possibilities would open up. You’ll have the chance to climb a blade of grass that – to scale – was higher than Everest. Or even tunnel underground deep below the Earth.

Capricorn: Wonder Woman.

 

The Capricorn sign and Wonder Woman have more in common then you might realize. This sign shares the same strength and resilience that embodies the warrior spirit of this hero. You can try to knock ’em down over and over again and they’ll get back up every time. Very little is able to phase them or throw them off track particularly when they’re on a mission.

Aquarius: Thor.

 

As a storyteller and lover of all things mythological the Aquarius personality is drawn to superheroes who have their basis in ancient fables. Thors’ Viking heritage and his never ending battle with shape shifting Loki accurately captures the intensity of this sign. What’s not to love about a timeless story of family treachery and redemption – that’s right up the the Aquarians alley!

Pisces: Catwoman.

 

The Pisces personality can feel lost and tormented at times. But they can also be menacing too when they sharpen their claws. Which is why they would most likely be the Catwoman if they were a superhero. They have a tendency to like animals even more than humans meaning they’ll feel quite at home saving the world as their feline self.

Your Horoscopes for Friday, May 17th

Moon Alert

We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are full of clever, resourceful ideas today, which is why you will see new uses or applications for something that you already own. Likewise, you might see new ways to make money on the side. You might even find a better paying job!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Take a realistic look in the mirror today and ask yourself what you can do to improve the image you create on your world. After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression! Your discussions with others will be powerful and to the point. (Oh yeah.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your ability to search for answers and solutions is fantastic today. You’ll be like a dog with a bone. Not only is your mind focused, you have the motivation and endurance to keep working until you find what you’re looking for. If you discover secrets – be discreet.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might attract someone today to you who is really powerful. (“Hi Darth.”) Do not be intimidated because there is also a likelihood that you are the powerful person in someone else’s eyes. Either way, your conversations will bring about changes for the better.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your interaction with a boss or a parent will be powerful and to the point today. In fact, one of you might be blown away. On the other hand, everyone is prepared to deal with big issues in order to get a better result. This could mean you have to start all over again.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Steer clear of people who are on a soapbox and proselytizing their personal views on politics, religion or racial issues because they will be too much. Run the other direction. Meanwhile, don’t coerce others to agree with you on these issues, either.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You couldn’t pick a better day to plow through details related to banking, shared property, taxes, debt, wills, inheritances and insurance matters. You will make great headway because you have the motivation, perseverance and pluck to find what you’re looking for. Good luck!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Stay calm when talking to partners and close friends because conversations with others today will not be casual. They will be serious, to the point and perhaps revealing. Some people might be pushy. (Not you, of course.) That was a joke.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This will be a productive day at work because you have penetrating insight and a deep desire to introduce reforms and make improvements to whatever you do. You might be aggressive because you see how things can be better. Be skilful to get the cooperation of others.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

If you’re involved in sports and competition, today might be a bit fierce because people are aggressive! They will mean what they say and say what they mean. They will also be physically in your face. Take it easy. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is the classic day to tackle repairs at home. Quite likely, you will entertain projects that need to be stripped down or torn away to get down to the bare bones of things before you can rebuild, or refinish or recover or restore. You get the idea.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today your mind is so powerful and focused, you can do anything! You can study anything, you teach, you can sell, you can persuade and you can act! Remember that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

If Your Birthday Is Today

TV host Craig Ferguson (1962) shares your birthday today. You have a sharp mind and a strong self discipline. You also have business savvy. This is a year of teaching and learning. You might learn something profound that sets you in a new direction that is crucial for your success next year. Start to explore meditation, yoga or any discipline that will help you to get a better understanding of who you are.

The Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, May 16

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or major decisions from 5:15 AM to 5:45 PM EDT today (2:15 AM to 2:45 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you’re thinking how to secure your financial situation and get on a better footing. (Who doesn’t want financial security?) Kick around some ideas. Explore different avenues – but wait until the Moon Alert is over at the end of the day to act. (See above.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a wonderful day to make practical plans and look at your future with some common-sense wisdom. However, most of this day is a Moon Alert (see above). Therefore, do your homework but wait until the end of the day to commit.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Research will go well today because you have the ability to focus your mind and work in a steady direction. However, do not initiate anything new because of the restrictions of the Moon Alert. Keep plugging away and by the end of the day, you’ll get results.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Someone older or more experienced might have excellent advice for you today. However, before you agree to follow this advice or to jump on board – wait until the Moon Alert is over, which is not until the end of the day. Nevertheless, it’s wise to get your data.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

A conversation with a boss, parent or someone in a position of authority will be practical and down-to-earth today because everyone is concerned with basic issues, especially about future planning. However, because of the Moon Alert today, commit to nothing. Just get your facts.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Despite the fact that most of this day is a Moon Alert, which hinders efficiency and schedules, nevertheless, you will get some practical work done. Do postpone important decisions until after the Moon Alert. (See above.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a good day to teach children. It’s also a good day to train in sports or in the arts because you will be imaginative and yet, focused on practical issues. Restrict spending to food, gas and entertainment until the Moon Alert is over at the end of the day.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Family discussions will focus on repairs and practical matters today. An older family member will have strong opinions or advice to share. Do not spend money on anything other than food, gas and entertainment until the Moon Alert is over.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your imagination is heightened today, which is why you’re coming up with clever, practical ideas. Your focus will be practical and down to earth. Nevertheless, wait until the Moon Alert is over to commit to anything or settle on one choice. (See above.)

The Cosmic Calendar for May 16

An 11 hour void lunar dispensation in Libra—starting at 2:39 a.m. during a moon square to Pluto and concluding at 2:27 p.m. when the moon enters watery Scorpio—sets the stage for a day of mixed sky configurations.

Mercury making a dicey, 45-degree contact with Chiron (10:17 a.m.) is a reminder to look over health issues with care while a more favorable vibration for business and professional matters develops later on during a trine between Mercury and Saturn (4:10 p.m.). Be on alert for surprises appearing in key relationships as the moon makes monthly polarities to Venus (5:49 p.m.) and Uranus (9:05 p.m.). Start gearing up for the enlightening next full moon happening on Saturday.

[Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

The Witches Current Moon Phase for May 16th

ultima-thule-1-ca06_022219_1024

The Witches Current Moon Phase for May 16th

Waxing Gibbous
Illumination: 93%

The Moon today is in a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts round 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon will rise in the east in mid-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible though most of the night sky setting a few hour before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Spirit Message of the Day – Awaken the Feminine Self

FEMININE: THE GRAIL
“The Grail appears before you and you are called to the Quest. The Grail is the lost Feminine and the appearance of this card signals a shift in values and perspectives. The time has come to validate, celebrate, and sing the Feminine. It is time to choose to focus on the right-brained or more Feminine values of nurturing, relating, creating, and spirituality, as opposed to the left-brained or more male-identified values of logic, analysis, and scientific proof.”

“An important way the Feminine will be restored to its rightful place of honor and equality is through women reclaiming their Feminine selves, then treating themselves and all that is embodied by the Feminine with reverence. Since the outer world follows what is created on the inner planes, once women validate the Feminine consciously in their thoughts and deeds, then the material world will follow suit.”

“Does your Feminine self seem a mystery to you? Time to explore her! Are you locked into being “the best man for the job” in order to be competitive in the male-dominated work place? Time to change! Do you live in your own personal Wasteland- a life that is sterile and spare, depressing and discordant, unfulfilling, and unfulfilled? Time to make the Feminine a priority in your life! Are you tired of having your gender thrown in your face: being considered second best or of no value at all; always having to prove yourself, forced into lower paying jobs of less import and stature, kept outside and apart by the ‘good old boys club’? Time to take your power back by becoming a victim-free-zone.”

“Perhaps you are not sure what the Feminine is and what meaning it could have for your life. Time for discovery! If you are a woman, the Feminine is your place of power. If you are a man it is the doorway into your spirituality. For both, a deeper connection and more attention are needed now to green and grow your life magnificantly.”

Today’s message is from Oracle of the Grail Code by Amy Sophia Marashinsky.
