On Turning 40

I woke to the smell of the ocean luring me home. Something so deeply within my soul stirred and I was powerless to her wisdom. It was time to be done, close this chapter and leave this tumult of marriage behind.

Hope filled me at what the finality could mean. Long had I dallied with the possibility but as a clear directive from Yemaya, I could not waver.

Love won that day. Celebrated in myriad colors of triumph, I saw the city light up in untold glory. As the jubilee paraded in the distance, I was gifted roses in the thousands.

Songs of the Dead filled my heart, unfamiliar, yet their vibration of love penetrating even the most hardened spaces within.

The King of Swords escorted me home moving like a beam of light parting the crowds and undeniable in his radiance.

Affections rebuked but still laid at the feet of the goddess.

I was reborn, to add my salt to the ocean's tears and sway in the sweet melodies of decadence and freedom.

Rainbows and roses kissed my 30's away as I step into the fierce 40's finally certain that I know how to love this heart best.  

Raw as F*#k :: Walking the Path of Ascension

I am committed to this path of enlightenment but some days kick our collective arse. Call it the Retrogrades or simply a curve in the road, we all need a 'lil cheerleading sometimes to remind us of our light.

Full Moon in Scorpio : The White Flames of Purification

We’re now finding ourselves in the eye of the storm. Such is the flux around us; scarcely can we see next steps, much less feel affirmed in our direction. While it seems we’re surrounded by a swirling unknown, it’s actually unsettled clarity thundering in. The white noise is the sound of our faith not yet quieted.

As I sit in my own muck and mire, desiring to be present as the storm heaves, I’m brought the vision of Sekhmet, Egyptian lion-headed goddess of all that’s holy. In her pure white form, she’s the light that casts no shadow, and it’s her whom I invoke for safe passage.

Our soul’s purity is being polished to reveal our diamond heart. Our only option is to surrender, to not be consumed nor destroyed by the fire. Learn to contain the fires of transformation and invite it into the spaces to which you’re ignorant within yourself. Stand and allow yourself to be purified, liquefied, and reborn.

The sun is making its way from fiery Aries into grounded Taurus, acting as the young, impetuous, raging bull not yet comforted. Add to that Mars Retrograde (yawn, it must be time for another nap) and a Full Moon in Scorpio. This cosmic stew leaves us feeling like there's nowhere to hide.

The best way to ride the waves of Scorpio's tumultuous waters is with faith. Knowing there’s a deep driving force of perfect purpose which we cannot yet comprehend.

Purification rituals of any sort will also be supported. Release what no longer serves you, fess up in the places you've been less-than-honorable, and be a pure light of your own truth. Anything clouding that truth and shading your integrity will certainly be triggered. Embrace it, honor it, and thank if for bringing you into greater alignment.

Burn a white candle, take a spiritual bath, smudge your space, stand under that bawdy moon, and thank her for illuminating every dark crevice in your being. This will certainly not be a moon to forget!

Imbolc

My heart alight by faith I alone

I trace cautious steps back

emblazoned with purpose

I greet the blinding sun
swallowing it 

as he yields to me

acknowledging the stars ahead

Blessed mother

sing to me now

the song of my destiny

for I am ready to become

Closing out 2015... the Gift of You

Some years are more prolific than others... As I look back to what was done on the blog this year, I cringe.  Where the heck was I?

Oh yeah, my loving self pipes up, your words went wider than this platform alone.  I am honored that Gaia was willing to share my writing as well as Shaman's Market this year.  I finished a book (still being edited) and traveled nearly every month.

I can ease up on myself a bit, yet I wish the quantified word count next to 2015 was heftier.

Alas, we have one last pearl for you this year.  I am blessed to have my family in town now and still find myself needing to practice my compassionate heart space as I feel myself prickly and on edge around those who love me most.  Learning to be my authentic self everywhere!  They are my greatest teacher of what I can heal.  Thank you Mama and Sister for showing me another version of my truth.

 

Renewing Joy to Uncover our Soul Mission, the blessing of Venus Retrograde

The Soul Mission sessions came in from the Goddess Sheshat as a beacon of light on our soul's journey. Since 2010, I have been working in partnership with her to assist many in walking thier highest purpose. With the shake up of this summer's Venus Retrograde, Sheshat offers renewed guidance and direction which can illuminate our path. 

The Venus retrograde is forcing all of us to stop the forward action of our desires. In our drive to achieve and embrace our dreams, the retrograde delivers not merely a pause in our visions but a backward force. We must re-dream our dreams to see if they still serve our soul's path. This has been a tumultuous time for many, for not only must we re-examine, but in some cases rebuild!, our future completely.

Relationships have been much of the focus, but of even greater import is the relationship with ourselves.

How well are we serving the truth of this heart? 

Are we in honor of the path of this soul?

The Soul Mission sessions with Sheshat are sensitive to this. They not only hold the dream of us in this life but also, in the expanse of the soul's journey though many lifetimes, they give us a broader picture of how to manifest the fullness of our light. More than career and relationship focus, the Soul Mission seeks to help us grasp the enormity of our power and gives us the vision to walk it in this current incarnation.



We have grown up in a society which directs down certain paths. Some have rebelled while many have conformed. Is your life what you want it to be?


When it is against the grain to "do what you want," this Venus retrograde appears as a perfect window to rebel in style. Thwart the system, screw the man, do what the hell you want are some of the rallying cries of this astrological blessing.

In my article the Myth of Normal, I share how we have been raised on a false premise...if we follow a conventional path, contentment and success is the result.  That belief which we have been fed is a myth!  It is in embracing our joy full throttle that we can uncover our purpose. The radiant Danielle LaPorte has been echoing the same though her work with the Desire Map. Find your joy and your path will appear!

The devastation for some may come in not knowing what they are passionate about. Can you in your heart of hearts reclaim your joy? Do you know the secret key to unlock your vital soul?

Passion is our purpose. To be in centered awareness with this throbbing source of truth within is the driving force of this retrograde.

Where many may falter is in having the courage to face and walk the path Venus sets before us. In making the changes she reveals, we are all but guaranteed a life that is on track with our destiny.

Like the green bud of spring, all life is fresh and new around us now. Keep reclaiming the joy, follow the bliss and we are assured an alignment with our soul that will fulfill us emotionally, financially, physically and spiritually. If we ignore the bud, it is sure to wilt, returning us to our mundane and unsatisfied reality. 

If you need a hint, we stand at the ready to 

usher you back to yourself.
