Your Weekly LightBlast: Knowing When

Weekly LightBlast: Knowing When

Blessed Beings, you are at an exciting time in your evolution of beginning to work more directly with the subtle realms of creation. It is exhilarating and sometimes frustrating as you learn new rules of the physical and the mysterious non-physical.

First your mind dominates the process as you seek to define. That is a valuable and necessary functionality of the mind, but not as effective in the same way when dealing with the physical and non-physical realms.

To create more with the subtle realms, you learn different information and processes—such as thinking positively, Loving Life, and that you create your reality with your thoughts and feelings. There is truth within these and many ways to learn and implement these changes.

However, what must ultimately occur is an understanding of the non-physical in relation to the physical realm in which you live. That is to say that what you learn must apply to your physical realm to have value in your day-to-day life, otherwise it can become confusing and even harmful.

As you implement subtle changes in your perceptions, perspectives, choices, and actions, you integrate a new level of being human.

What often occurs is an intellectual understanding of some non-physical principles, while still continuing to live the rules of the physical realm. Thus the first instinct is to use positive thinking, Love, and creating your reality to control your feeling of safety in life.

To control your feeling of safety, there is often a mental patterning of right or wrong that gets applied instinctively. Your instincts work well for the physical realm. They are immediate, survival based, and effective. However, they do not apply in the same way as you work with your inherent non-physical creative abilities.

As you work with the non-physical realm, your safety shifts from your physical survival needs, into a balance with the deep understanding of your infinite safety within the flow of Life. This begins a true integration of the duality of Life on Earth—which can not help but reflect your internal information to you.

This balance of physical and non-physical can be taught informationally, supported with healing, but it can not be given to you from an outside source. The Law of Resonance ensures that you either become that which you desire, or you only have effect in the physical world. In essence, you must change your internal world, your mental and emotional, your non-physical subtle self. This is “being the change you want to see in the world.”

This brings us to Knowing When. To learn the rules of creation requires internal observation. You learn the principles of shaping your thoughts and emotions, but understand that it goes beyond controlling them. In essence, you are learning to control your inner world better. But rather than control that just restricts, it is a control that understands, focuses, and transforms. You must transform your inner world for effective participation with the non-physical realms of creation.

When your inner world becomes naturally connective, courageous in the face of humanity’s worst; that is when you are resonant with the Love that transforms. That is different than a love that enables, avoids, or disregards the value of lesson learned for the future.

Knowing When to take action is one of the biggest challenges as you shift from physical focus into the true integration of the power of creating through (non-physical) Love. Action is how you ensure your physical survival in the physical realm. If you do not take it, you do not survive. The action of taking a step creates your path.

As you begin to implement using the power of Love to create, you are still in the physical realm that requires action. Yet creating from Love requires an internal action of observing beyond the obvious, trusting yourself, and trusting the flow of Life.

To be this, you must remain loving and open to Life, and patient with the flow of Time. This is “the peace that passes all understanding.” Rather than reacting out of survival fears, you transform the moment with a deep knowing beyond form.

How do you Know When to take action? Trust yourself more, for your biomechanism is perfect for this environment, both physical and non-physical. Learn to listen to the heart more, for it is your instrument of courageous, Loving connection. Calm the mind fears more, soothe them. Do not shove them aside, they speak to you of your survival fears that you must resolve in order to resonate at a different vibration. Trust Life more. It wants your thriving.

As you implement these internal changes, you will notice less fear and more trust. You will notice less need to control and more knowing all is well and improving. You will notice less confusion and more patience, even with the unknown future.

You will notice the clues of Life speaking to you of When by doors opening from your action and participation with Life.

You will appreciate doors closing, knowing your action and participation with Life has been valuable. You will worry less about the past and the future, and focus more into the now, where your creative power forms the future potentials.

As we sit to Blast Knowing When, we are observing our inner world and allowing fear and insecurity to be loved into wholeness by honoring the unknown. We are observing our personal experiences as the information of Life calling us to choose to Love the self into a new empowerment, affecting All Life. We are noticing the subtle changes in our feelings of peace in the face of adversity, as we recognize that fear is louder than Love because it knows it is not as strong. We are taking action first in the internal world, because we know it changes the reflection from the external world. We recognize the time to live Love is now. Blast on!

Custom Made Magick for Thursday

Well, let’s see … abundance, prosperity, and good health has been our focus for this day. Now how about a little more information and ideas for working practical magick with one of our fascinating featured deities of the day?

Juno was the Queen of Heaven. As the matriarch of the gods, she guarded over women in every aspect of their lives. Juno was thought to have renewed her virginity every year. Similar to other goddess stories, Juno was a triple goddess-a virgin who belonged to no one; a mother and woman in the prime of her life, sexual and mature; and also a crone, powerful, wise, and sometimes vengeful (as she made her husband’s many mistresses’ lives either fairly unhappy or short).

There are references to an early all-female triad of goddesses known as the Capitoline Triad. This triad consisted of Juventas, Juno, and Minerva. To the Greeks, they would have been known as Hebe, Hera, and Hecate. Ultimately the triad became Juno, Minerva, and the male Jupiter. Jupiter, another of Thursday’s gods, was Juno’s consort.

As mentioned earlier, Juno, in her aspect as Juno Moneta, was the patron and protector of the Roman mint. The coins produced at her temples were blessed by Juno and imbued with her powers of abundance and prosperity. In another of her aspects as Juno Augusta, Juno was the goddess of an abundant harvest.

In addition, another of Juno’s magickal correspondences is the semiprecious stone malachite. Malachite is a beautiful green-banded stone that was also called the “peacock stone” in Italy. The peacock was a sacred animal of Juno’s, and the magickal energies of malachite encourage health and prosperity.

A Quick Note….

Today might be a short day for us, who knows? We have a two contractors coming out today. One is to install a new heat & air unit. The other is to fix leaky plumbing in the restroom. It is amazing, you think you walk in everything looks great and the truth is, it is really a piece of crap just in pretty wrappings.

 

So if our posts stop abruptly, you know why. We have ever intention of keeping an eye on these old boys. Learned our lesson the hard way. I also want to take a moment to thank everyone of you who responded to our a/c dilemma. Thanks to you, we raised enough money to have the unit properly fixed. I know our original intentions was to hire a lawyer with the money we raised. Come to find out, I have a very good friend who has been appointed City Attorney recently. Surprised me and thrilled me to death! He agreed to take the case and also file a class action lawsuit against this bunch. He did a search on the net and we weren’t the first one that they took to the cleaners. He also contacted the insurance company and they are also filing suit against them. The City Attorney told me it could be a year or longer before we ever see any money.

 

I know Summer is coming and I didn’t want to ask the ladies to sit through a 100 degree day. I decided to take the money and install the a/c & heating unit. You are going to think I am telling one but it was so hot in here last year, you could have actually cooked an egg on the desk. The ladies here are wonderful and I just couldn’t do it to them. They never ask for anything, they volunteer their time, at least I could provide them with a cool building to work out of.

 

Again, thank each and everyone of you that help us out of that pickle. You are wonderful family and we love you very much.

Lunar Folklore: Myths and Legends of the Moon

Lunar Folklore

Myths and Legends of the Moon

The moon is, in terms of distance, the closest heavenly body to earth. We can see it in the sky for three weeks out of four, and people have, for thousands of years, used its light to guide them in the dark. In addition to the personification of the moon as deity, there are all kinds of fascinating legends and myths associated with the moon and its cycles.

The word lunatic comes from the Latin luna, because it was believed that people were more likely to exhibit aberrant behavior during a full moon. Although studies have been done showing that emergency room visits and accidents are increased during the full moon period, there has yet to be conclusive evidence for causation.

The moon seems to have an effect on animals as well as people. A Florida expert on animal behavior reports that hamsters spin in their wheels far more aggressively during the moon’s full phase. Deer and other herbivores in the wild tend to ovulate at the full moon, and in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, the full moon is mating time for coral.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson, was inspired by the strange — and yet very true — case of Charles Hyde, a London man who committed a series of crimes at the time of the full moon.

There is a British legend that if Christmas fell on the day of a dark Moon, the following year’s harvest would be a bountiful one. Some parts of the British Isles believed that a waxing moon on Christmas meant a good crop the next fall, but a waning moon indicated a bad one would come.

In some countries, a halo around the moon means bad weather is coming.

The first time you see a crescent moon for the month, take all your spare coins out of your pocket, and put them in the other pocket. This will ensure good luck for the next month.

Some people believe that the fifth day after a full moon is the perfect time to try to conceive a child.
In some Chinese religions, offerings are made to the ancestors on the night of a full moon.

In some Native American legends, the moon is held captive by a hostile tribe. A pair of antelope hope to rescue the moon and take it the village of a good tribe, but Coyote, the trickster, interferes. The antelope chase Coyote, who tosses the moon into a river each night, just out of reach of the antelope.
The night of the full moon is believed to be a good time for divination and scrying.

More About Moon Magic

Lunar Phases and Magical Workings: For many Pagans, the cycles of the moon are important to magical workings. It’s believed in some traditions that the waxing moon, the full moon, the waning moon and the new moon all have their own special magical properties, and so workings should be planned accordingly.
Celebrating the Full Moon: The full moon has long had an aura of mystery and magic about it. It is tied to the ebbs and flows of the tide, as well as the every-changing cycle of womens’ bodies. The moon is connected to our wisdom and intuition, and many Pagans and Wiccans choose to celebrate the full moon with a monthly ritual.

Moon Phases and Tarot Readings: Do you have to wait for a certain phase of the moon to do a Tarot reading? Not necessarily – but here some ideas on how specific phases may impact the results.

Magical Workings for the Waning Moon

KEEPER OF THE CELTIC FAIRYS
Magical Workings for the Waning Moon

The waning moon is the period during which the moon goes from full to dark once again. Like the waxing moon phase, it lasts approximately two weeks. In many traditions of Wicca and Paganism, this time of the month is used to do “baneful” magic — that which sends away, gets rid of or destroys things you no longer wish to be burdened by. Some examples would include:

Magic to eliminate negative people or toxic relationships from your life

Workings to smoothly end a relationship or job

Rituals that banish bad habits

Any magic related to reducing things, such as debt, illness, etc.

Aarik is a Pagan practitioner who lives in New England. He says, “For me, the waxing moon is a time each month when I let go of all the baggage that has built up over the past few weeks. The moon is fading and dwindling, so it’s when I do a simple ritual to unleash all that negative juju into the aether around me. I get rid of anything that’s bad, hostile or toxic, so that with the next moon cycle, I can start over fresh.”
