I am the Universe, experiencing myself, in human form... as a witchπŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹

Interesting... although personally I believe we are each of the elements! Earth - physical body (including your senses to communicate). Water - emotional body. Fire - energetic body. Air - mental body. Aether - which represents the ethereal bodies (those we cannot see) ...the spiritual and digital version of ourselves πŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹

Post hysterectomy... my sacral chakra is unblocked wooooo and I AM creating again... finally! πŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹

A young, fresh, active energy is available to us under the influence of the first quarter moon in the first degree of Sagittarius right now!

Studying and understanding the elements without and within will help you to gain the knowledge you need to move forwards.

Just like a river tamed... floods the city... we must learn to work with what we have rather than trying to make our landscapes straight with high banks... we need wiggles, ebbs and flows...

As part of the very nature that surrounds us, take awe in your beauty, the body and the way it protects, nourishes and facilities your very being.

Take those first steps towards nurturing something into existence... be it a project, relationship or plant - it's all the same energy.

Have a magickal day πŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹

Finally... my sacral chakra is unblocked... woooo as the swelling goes down, my creative juices are rising... rising like kundalini energy... I'm on fire πŸ”₯

I've read soooo many horror stories around having a hysterectomy... some of my personal favourites...

1. The Patriarchy made me do it!

Oh my goddess.. when did we become such victims. We choose our life and how we live it... we are not forced by anyone.

2. Having your womb removed stops kundalini energy rising.

Bull$h!t ...since my fibroids, womb etc etc are gone... my pathways are clear and doing my reiki training has meant I have taken control into my own hands (quite literally) to direct positive energy into my womb-space.

3. Your sacral chakra is in your womb... therefor if it is removed, so is that energy center.

Erm nope... wrong again... energy flows in and out of the body, yes with no ovaries there is this part of the endocrine removed... BUT with the help of medicine we have HRT ...cannot recommend this enough, especially if you have hypothyroidism... I feel the best I've felt in years... my energy is flowing!!!

I do however belive in hermetics... and that the Universe is mental, which means if you think something with all your heart... it's true...

Now I am sympathetic to anyone that does encounter issues with any sort of major surgery... but think why you see having it, what else you can learn, where are the lessons, the opportunities and the growth?!

This is the true meaning of Judgement... where you judge yourself and your situation!

Set your soul on fire and own it!!! Whatever it is πŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹

#Judgement

In the early hours, I couldn't sleep, the waning micro moon in Leo taunted my inner child, not in a playful way... I pulled a few cards...

One after the other... three major arcana, three stunning big cats appeared before me... representing the moon, the sun and all of the elements...

Instantly, these cards brough comfort, reminding me to have strength though healing, to be gentle with myself and that every situation has meaning, growth and power... the secret is keeping my mind focused.

I've never seen a spread so simple and strong, even the heads of the cats show past, present and future with the gaze of their stares.

As Mars squares my natal moon, brining up them feels even more on this waning moon... I choose to surrender, to focus 100% on healing today (I think I may of pushed too much the last few days and I'm feeling it).

Tomorrow with the new moon in Leo I am going to digest where I am at this point and set some wonderful new intentions, or should I say fine tune those that I already have and burn away anything that stands in that way πŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹

Today, we are invited to bring balance and divine practice directly into our soul... what will you surrender to find your place?

The illusion that we must always juggle, must dance to stay the right way up, must keep doing to stay ahead makes us live our lives fast... and also makes a fool of us!

Forever with busyness, keeping things movin' n shakin' and making sure others are kept in the loop, keeps us from our real destiny.

The whisper of our future happiness is found in the realm of spirit, within the aether, in the quiet space within, not dancing on stage for all to see.

When you stop, pause and surrender to that of no sound... that is when you will have your breakthroughs, epiphany and discovery your soul's calling.

Wisdom and knowledge, desire and will need to meet with a fleeting moment of divine timing... and all will become apparent to you in a flash!

Gracefully accept this spark, this seed as you are only half way in this journey... the best is yet to come, when you direct this energy into existence πŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹

At first you may feel left in the dark, someone 'thinks' they are doing the best for you, by shielding and protecting your honour...

In that very darkness, you are called to step away from your ego and allow you mind move from lunar to solar. In this scenario, meaning from being passive and allowing things to happen to you, to active energy, where you claim your own destiny.

The final stage of this process, is drawing down that energy, into your very being... mind, body and soul.

Cut any ties, cleanse your aura, radiate from the inside out and protect what is rightfully yours.

The path from here will illuminate itself, especially if you keep things gentle and playful πŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹

A powerful alliance has reached it's pinnacle... and therefore it's death is imminent!

Now, death can mean a final ending of course, but this does not mean in it's entirety.

For a rose bush to blossom next season, we can it so far back that it looks like no more.

For a romantic relationship to thrive, we need to cut out any bad behaviours and nourish the good ones.

In business, we can rebrand and show our growth through our message and offerings.

Personally, we can evaluate our relationship with our self. Are we where we want to be? Do we like who we have become? Do we wish to strive for more? What chords do we need to cut?

A real feeling of personal responsibility is in my mind with these cards... as you can only change yourself, not anyone else.

If a situation is bothering you, take a good look at yourself, choose to bring death to thoughts, behaviours, and attitudes that no longer align.

Welcome into this space something more positive, something that will do your own personal brand some good... be the person you wish to be know as... then watch the magick unfold πŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹

Saturn-day is perfect for working with your limitations!

If you are holding yourself back, it's time to change a belief to your core... working with the element of fire to burn away fears!

Use your unique perspective of the world to work through ancestral or cultural ties.

Whilst the past has brought us to this place, it doesn't choose our destination... we are the only ones that can use the fuel we have to burn, which in turn creates light in the darkness.

This light can illuminate the way forward... but also provide a star like quality from a distance, giving others hope and inspiration.

Once you have made space for yourself, to be yourself, you will find your community. Like-minded souls, each dancing to their own drum, but collectively working together for a common goal.

When you join forces in this way, you can create change on a larger level. Weaving knowledge, skills and energy, sharing stories and providing support.

These two cards really show the difference between soul and spirit to me. Your soul purpose, is your own inner light, burning brightly when you are doing what fuels that fire in your solar plexus. Spirit is the the space that holds individuals together to create magick with others... both equally important to the human experience πŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹

YOU are the keeper of your energy... no-one else. YOU are the creator of your world... no-one else. YOU are the center of your universe... no-one else. YOU are in control with your happiness... no-one else.

As we deal with the trials and tribulations that life brings, ever learning, adjusting, evolving and growing... it comes a time where we feel that our skin no longer fits... we have out grown who we once was.

As the sun sets on today, reminisce on days gone by. Rasie a glass for what once was and what will never be forgotten. The past has shaped you, be thankful and celebrate your life.

The sun will set. Tomorrow, rise with the dawn... begin again... this time with the knowledge of yesterday and the hope for tomorrow πŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹

Do you see what I see? From this angle I can see your focus is in the wrong place... you seem dissatisfied with what you have.

All you need to do is smile, lift that pretty head of yours... take in a deep breath while taking in your surroundings... and there you will see an offer.

The energy of the Ace of Cups in quite literally in the air!

IF you choose to accept this cup, you will be greeted with emotional fulfilment on ALL levels... of your own making!

The space you create, is your own, you are the master of your destiny here.

Put in the work required of you, be guided by your intuition.

This wealth is the richest of them all, of your mind, body and soul... the castle in the distance is brick and mortar, cold and man made... the garden in which you reside, is made by spirit, which you are part of... it grows... flows and nurtures you, inside and out!

Such a wonderful turnaround indeed πŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹

All of life is but a game... you included have a part to play, just like the rest of us... the difference maybe is that you are possible more concious than most to the part in which you are 'programmed' to play hehehe mmmm the tango, such a beautiful reflection of life... do you dance? ,-) πŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹

EVERY perspective is relevant... there is no wrong answer... just different theories, based upon diverse experiences and expectation.

Today we harness the power of passion. Embracing the fun of different opinions through debate and collaboration.

Be aware that driving forces are different for everyone, and some may be more sensitive than others... so be mindful. As what begins as a playfight, may go from imaginary to reality.

Release the fire... but don't let the flames burn you (or anyone else).

Enjoy the energy, but don't get carried away.

With the full moon in Aquarius, we are reminded to choose a humanitarian solution, one that works for the bigger picture, not just serving a few with louder voices. Kill with kindness, and remember not to take yourself too seriously.

Lammas (or Lughnasadh) blessings... Bathe in the full moon rays witches! I hope your first harvest is abundant πŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹

#2ofSwords is the card that represents Serpens; the serpent which is wrapped around the wand of Asclepius.

The rod and snake, is the symbol of medicine worldwide. The myth entails (see what I did there?! Hehehe) the snake teaching Asclepius the healing powers of medicine, he used these powers to resurrect his brother Orion, whom was stung by Scorpious.

The message for today; you have the power in your hands, it is your birthright, trust in your own inituion... play the part expected of you, and keep any secrets asked of you (I have the words, cross my heart and hope to die) so words you may literally have to take to the grave with you.

#KnightofWands - A person approaching from behind, you cannot see them, but his energy can be felt, like fire licking a piece of wood in the fireplace.

Expect passion, mystery and news from a far off land and you won't be disappointed.

With the waxing moon in Capricorn right now, asking you to be positive in your approach, you have an opportunity for the future here... if you out your mind to it, be productive and imbrace all that you are made of πŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹

Half six in the morning on a Saturday... no alarm, just allowing my natural cycle to guide me during healing from my hysterectomy... and already I've seen #TheChariot twice this morning!!!

For me, The Chariot represents the house of home and family... parents (particularly the mother)... a card of mind over matter... gentile guidance through wisdom, experience and leading by example, rather than sheer force against will.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink!

I've learned to become so aware of my feelings, give them space and honour them... today I need to remind myself to stay strong, to find balance within.

Today I need to find focus, take a little action (obviously very little in my case atm)... to find strength within.

To anyone that feels a little low today, please take a moment of stillness... allow your breath to be heard.

Mercury entered Virgo yesterday, bringing messages to your physical body... it's important to listen to your body right now... like may you may not able to do anything, so go within but if your summer energy is feeling stagnant, try something high impact and invigorating to get that energy moving.

In meditation today, both send and recieve healing and tune into my magick circle... I could do with an extra lil lift today, but I'll happily match that energy and send it back across the aether infused with a message... let me know what you hear either in the comments or DM me πŸŒ›πŸŒ•πŸŒœπŸ’‹
