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.

Crazy as a Teacher :: How we Give Away our Power

While working with a client, we explored how in every relationship she begins to feel crazy.  It was an obvious form of her giving away her power!  I too have experienced this in new love but could never see so clearly what was occurring.  What a shift!

In the video we examine the ways we give away our power everyday and how feeling crazed may be shining a light on where we can love ourselves more.

8/8 StarGate :: an Invitation to Ceremony and a Cosmic Activation

the Ra Ta activation that is offered within was a blessing given to me years ago from Ra-- a primordial creator being of the Egyptians.  Ta is the Egyptian word for Earth, ground, root.

the RaTa is a cosmic activation which helps ease the transition from our human to galactic selves.  

Pluto's Return and Venus Goes Retrograde

Muse of Santa Cruz

I could have been happy here. In the land of thought where dreamers dance and the ancients hold sanctuary. I could have stalked these stacks and kissed those boys, calling it home with the ocean my playground. 

Instead, I walk in the invisible spaces, crafting potions with my words and hearing confession of ascension seekers. I dream between dimensions and weave with mountains, harvesting fire in my hands. I am at one with the All and it is good.


So thank you for this dalliance, the illusion of a life better, but it holds no glamour over me. 

I know who I am. I know who I serve and I know why it had to be so.

Goodbye sweet muse. You may call me here again as sister co-creator, restorer of the high priestess and lover of the Goddess, but go now, and share your fancy with another.

I lost myself last week
not in an indulgent "lost to the world" sort of way
but lost even unto myself


when we find ourselves in these spaces...
                ....resistant, remorseful, hidden from view.....
uncomfortable no matter what we do
we must give in or we may find ourselves forever lost


yet upon re-emergence, being me feels so good.

the Valiant Pursuit of Joy

an Invitation to remember your Magic

We are all feeling rattled; uncertain of the days ahead and unable to find stability in the rapid fluctuations of our present reality.

Most mornings I wake, spend time at my altar in prayers and meditation, before I even get dressed. When I sat down today, it felt forgotten and dusty. I hadn't been here in 13 days...I swear it was only just last week that I fell off the wagon... disconnected from this daily refuge. And yet, my world had gotten so busy (a sick kiddo, snowstorms, 2 trips to prepare, family visiting). Where did that time go?

I was gently reminded that They are always here; patiently holding for us this connection to the divine even when we stray, sway and fumble. I cried as I felt them, holding and ever loving with no judgment. I wasn't being scolded, I was just lonely for them and aggravated by my human-ness.

In our reality there are any number of distractions, both pertinent and inconsequential. It is so easy for us to stray from our spiritual path.

I was encouraged that when we do make this effort, a commitment, a devotion to honoring this space, we feel better. Spirit space, shamanic journeying, even prayer... when we create and carve out this sacred time, They hold us in unconditional love no matter how many shifts the Earth tosses at us.

In these times of great cosmic activations, the transformation of mankind and a re-calibration of our societal structures, it is these ancient practices that remind us nature is always constant. It still takes 9 months to create a baby, the sun rises and falls every 24 hours, the moon above us waxes and wanes at exactly the same pace as it did for our wisest ancestors. It is in this certainty of a natural Universe, this ever loving presence that we can re-find ourselves.

We invite you back into the timeless whole. The places where you can restore and rely on the magic of the universe. The spaces where you are a pure being of Light revealing itself to itself. We welcome you. We see you and only desire to offer the ways to remind you with every breathe, every blink, every moment how very loved and cherished by this Universe that you are.

Shamanism: Your Keys to Truth and Transformation begins March 9^th. A 3 week online intensive to reconnect and restore you to the wisdom within.  

House & Land Clearings

Energetic Interventions^TM are intended to help families who are dealing with unsettling energies -- by helping families reclaim their home and their peace of mind, we move the energy from the home, when possible, and restore to the family calm and wholeness.   If you suspect activity in your home and want empowered next steps, Energetic Interventions^TM are offered to heal both Sides of the Veil. 

You may know them as ghosts, spirits, energy, dis-incarnates, or even entities, but the truth is:  Ghosts are people too ... just without their physical body!  Like us, they have a purpose to fulfill and a cycle to complete.  Being bound to the earth, they are unable to move forward to their Spirit home.  In the process, and their confusion, they can cause us to feel frightened, anxious, and confused ourselves.  Just as we people all need help from time to time, they too are in need of compassionate and loving assistance. 

Having a ghost in your home can be disruptive, aggravating, and even at times scary.  In all honesty, they'd probably rather be somewhere else getting on with their "life," and are usually acting up to get noticed!  They may be attached to your home, to your land, or even to a family member.  While TYPICALLY there is little to fear, we know how unnerving living with this situation can be to your family and your sanity.

I see this role largely as compassionate clearing.  We help the energy move to where they belong and clear from the families and home any residue from the encounter.  Ghosts are not bad, rather need to be reunited with the light as all beings of God do.    



As a child, Andye was frequently visited by ghosts.  Rarely frightened yet always surprised, Andye learned early on ways to help these souls get to the Other Side.  Psychopomp (literally translated as "soul conductor") is the ancient name for the individuals who undertake this important and sacred work.  This is not only a calling for Andye but a true passion.  Healing both the families and the trapped souls (the ghosts) is a special role indeed... and one Andye fulfills with great love and compassion. 

No home visit is required to help clear your home.  All services can be done long distance! 

Using my gifts as a medium and my training as a shaman, I can connect and clear the energies from my own office in Colorado. 

Not all homes need a clearing!  In some cases, the energy you feel are actually your own loving, trusted Spirit Guides dropping in to say "hello."  An Assessment can determine the nature of the energies with whom you may be sharing your home.

We understand this is a sensitive and unsettling time, and we will always exercise the utmost discretion and respect your confidentiality. 


FOR REALTORS 

Energetic Interventions are incredibly helpful for realtors who are motivated to sell a home.  From clearing the energy of the previous owners to calling in just the right set of buyers for your property, an Energetic Intervention may be the missing magic in your toolbox.  


Though no longer offered directly by Andye, we refer you to our family friend (and realtor) Micki Carwin for all house clearing services.  


Clients report feeling calmer, more serene and even more spacious.  In today's competitive marketplace, calling upon specialists who can see and work in the invisible realms is a boon to your savvy practices.  

For families moving into a new home, Micki offers house blessings for a smooth and easy transition.

These offerings are done with love and Light, under the blessing of our universal God(dess).  

Further information as well as rates can be found at our PeeksGroup website.  There you can also find information on identifying and raising Indigo & Crystal children.  

Living by the Moon

I've been paying attention to the moon more.  

Noting carefully the nights of the new and full. Researching, studying and meditating with each so I may begin to feel the cycles within my body. This simple awareness has enlivened in me ancient feelings, stirrings and connections I have long craved but have gone unnamed.

I've become protective of my time in ritual, scheduling social activities around it and guarding fiercely my need to be with the Mother Moon.

On full moons, I prepare a jug of water which I will imbibe throughout the month. I clear my crystals, pray over the water and give thanks for the blessings as I am called.

On the new moon, I cry and bathe myself. Releasing any distress from the cycle and create what it is I desire to manifest in the coming month.

Simple, quiet and deeply personal, I am so in love with our dances together.  Finding this rhythm has put me in communion with the Feminine Divine, feeling her express and breathe through me.  I am home again.  

We have opened our healing circle so that we many be in service to others, as we have been asked by Spirit. Monthly we invite beloveds into our sacred space and bring through the healing we are lead. Each cycle is different and preparation distinct. Crystals, music, singing bowls and the circle are all prepped overnight and blessed by the grace of each full moon.

We never quite know what we are walking into, what has been created, and what will transpire. I find myself in trance most of the session and can scarcely remember what it was that occurred.

I do know lives are blessed and changed. This time in ceremony is so ancient, so honored, it is far beyond my capacity to understand how.

Dance with us again, dear heart, whether in private consecration or amongst the beauty of those who can see you, we all are sharing the moon times together wherever we may be.  

Woo Woo Word of the Moment :: Psychopomp

I sling this word around my office with great glee.  For me, upon first hearing the word, something lit up in my soul.  I felt like I was being called and for the first time knew what to label myself.

Psychopomps are the Soul Conductors ensuring souls get from our world to the next.

We come in all shapes and sizes... tending family member, hospice nurse, CT scan tech, ghost hunter, medium, shaman and so very many spaces in between.

I am most often called into service to help the Soul navigate the death realms... this is something I trained in in other lives that is still stored within me.  I don't often know I'm being a guide, but will sometimes feel drains on my energy that remind me I'm being useful to those who need it.  


Other times, I act as medium, delivering messages across the veil.


Truth be told, I have never seen a physical death.  It's not my role and rather I am in absolute awe of those who get to bear witness every day.  What a gift to be honored as the one to hold them in thier last breath...to be trusted in that moment as the last one to see them in this form.  Ahhhhhh.  

If we don't know that we are actively in this role, we can get tired, experience unexplained grumpiness (even depression), irrational irritation and may just "not feel like ourselves."  Knowing how to assist these souls and how to restore our own reserves is the magic key!  I am passionate about sharing these techniques so we can more effectively fulfill our ancient call AND live a fulfilling life of our own choosing!

I host a workshop just for us... helping us embrace the role and assist on whichever side we are needed.  If you wanna join us, check out the Classes to see when the next one will be offered.

For those more deeply called, formal training may be the way to go.

The Deaths we Live, the eve of the Blood Moon

We all seem to collectively hold our breath when we speak about death... as if not to offend or attract it.  I find this taboo bizarre and have spoken much about shifting our perception.

What we don't always acknowledge are the little deaths, the deaths we live everyday.  Not just in the loss of a family member, but the loss of a job, a relationship, a phase of life, outgrowing of friends and so on.  

If we could remember these too are deaths, change of energy from one form to another, we might embrace more ways to normalize the Big One.

Every transition is a death of something.  Every sickness is our body killing off something.  These are not morbid thoughts, simply other ways we can embrace this weird energy transference that we put so much fear and so little actual energy in.  

As the Blood Moon is upon us, it a time to release big old energies that may be clogging our energetic channels.  This specific Moon also brings a total Eclipse in Aries & Libra.... holding both Sacred Masculine & Feminine Divine energies of transformation.  Astrologer Divine Harmony suggests this Moon is

"bringing a huge focus to the endings, changes, transformations, death and rebirth experiences playing out in the collective masculine/feminine dynamic and in relationships of all kinds."

Being in Mercury Retrograde, this is not a time to react, nor to move, but instead to step back and go within to see what we can do (and who can be) differently.  Much will be stirred up within you and rather than resisting or even stuffing what fires are lit inside you, choose how to direct these flames to burn up what isn't working.  

I always welcome some intensity in my healing and this Blood Moon feels just the potent mix for some focused and powerful healing.

We offer our Sacred Circle on full moon Sundays for both local and long distance participation.  If we can support you in harnessing these masterful teaching forces, raising your vibration or shucking off the next layer, please join us!  

Commitment of Service

I give all of myself to you in session.  I cry with you, laugh with you, heal with you, love you!  Is a privilege and a gift to share in this intimate space.   To share in such profoundly personal spaces is precious and it's an honor I hold very sincerely in highest integrity. 

To see your soul -- your Divine Self-- if even for a moment, is no casual encounter.  I do not desire to tell you what to do, nor how to do, simply to reflect back to you the very best of yourself and to inspire the courage within you to Be-Come it!  I don't believe in fortune telling, I only believe in YOU!

Those who find me, are guided to me, and entrust me to see them in these moments, I receive as a blessing from God.  A blessing that I can love, hold and honor you, and that the work we do here helps you deeply.  I am daily humbled by what I see in you and, with great gratitude, I'm allowed by Spirit to do it another day.  

I have clear ceremony in place which allows me to give all of myself to you while in session and then I cut cords after.  I work in the Light and Serve the Light.  I am clear in my ethics and hyper vigilant in my energetic boundaries.  This allows me to be in highest service and ensure you can get from me what you need ... if I am the one to whom you've been lead.  

I am not here to carry, coddle or wallow with you.  It is in this way that I am able to be and do more of what you need.  Because I am clear in how much I can do for you... and what you must do for yourself.  

Many people are able to get what they need in one session.  Those who return however share a different space in my heart.  I live with you, love with you, hold and cherish you.  I adore these Souls whom I am honored to work with throughout your journey.  

I am also protective of who does make it into my heart.  I have limitless love, compassion and respect for those who can truly dig in, stand in their truth and do their work.  Continued work together is a privilege earned, not simply bought.  It is these beloveds who inspire my best, and together our work changes the world.

When one person can stand in their light, the world benefits.  When we all can to do this, the world CHANGES!

Do you have any openings today?

At least once a week, someone is really quite urgent that they need a session sooner than my schedule allows.  In the past, I have busted my booty to make this happen for ya.  I love you and want you to get what you need.  But even my desire to please and serve is not really supporting you to your own fullest potential.  I'm learning this gradually and was asked to share this.  

I typically book 2-3 weeks out.  Rather than this experiencing this as an irritation, Archangel Michael instead suggests this is optimal, Divine Timing, even.  

If you feel like you need a reading right away, you are likely feeling much pressure and anxiety.  You are ready to let someone else "coach" you through a situation rather than relying on your own intuition, knowing and inner guidance.  It's essentially a way of you giving away your power.  

We can be here on the flip side to reassure, soothe and heal.  But free will and all...  The pressure is merely a symptom, not your truth.

Take the time to find within yourself what you need and really want.  We are all connected to these deep spaces of knowing within.  Your inability to get into a psychic, healer, or life coach right away is likely your Guides desiring to teach you to rely a little more on them directly.  

In the past month, I've had clients:
- laid off the day before our session
- served divorce papers (out of the blue) the weekend before our appointment
- whose friend was in a coma and choosing to pass as we spoke.  

None of these loves booked at the last minute, but rather, weeks in advance.  Their Angels and Guides had lead them to schedule as a place of solace and comfort in anticipation of what was to come.  And they were so much stronger having walked through the rough patches on their own... knowing they were quietly being held the whole time.  

For me, even telling you to wait, can feel like I'm letting you down.   But I try and remember this is not my plan, not your plan, and that we are being cradled and tended by the Divine.  And of that Divine Order, I am merely a messenger.  

If there is truly an immediate need, Spirit will find a way via a cancellation or another sign just for you.  Rest assured, beloved, they are there and in devotion!

I look forward to serving however and whenever is of highest service for your Soul.
