Flashes of Insight

WEATHERWORK
I am most grateful for all of the folks who jumped in and helped the people, animals and land that are in the path of this hurricane with their prayers, spells and good intentions..Sometimes Mama needs to clean house and there is nothing to do but get out of the way and sometimes there can be a gentling or shifting that can have an amazing impact. I do not have the audacity to think that I or we could command Mama but I will always try to ask for Divine intervention and as we all know positive thoughts working in the same direction and intention can be very powerful . This is something that Witches and Shamans of every nation and path have done since time immemorial (read on…)

WEATHERING THE STORM NAY FAY The Contiuning Saga of the Storm that Wouldn’t Leave
My four legged familiars and I have been sitting on the edge of this Fay storm for days and it has been both challenging, frightening, grounding and heartwarming. So much time to let the inner emotional storms ebb and flow between chores, stabilizing the space, meditating, doing ritual, seeing clients, and basically hunkering down.
As I often do when some big hurricane,fire,drought is afoot, I contacted special spiritual friends to help me protect Moonhaven and generally hold a peaceful safe space for all in the path of the potential disaster. As always, I ask that the storm does the least harm and the most good also using the 3 D’s.Divert,Dissapate, and Dissolve which actually works quite well. (read on…)

Tree Magic at Moonhaven
Here at Moonhaven the trees have surely been teaching me. Some 10 years ago or so while in meditation my guides or perhaps the devas of this place spoke to me of what they wanted me to do for them and they were quite specific. They wanted me to arrange stumps bowls and stones around 4 particular trees. As I began to fulfill my task, I noticed that the 4 trees chosen actually made a cross in my yard. (read on…)

Questions by Ayedo

1. How do you get by spiritually when the world turns cold, icy,
dark, rainy or foggy?

2. Who are your spirit friends?

3. How do you connect with community for spiritual survival?

4. What spirit, deity or animal helps you get by during winter,
helping you find daily pleasure instead of angst as you maneuver
the dimly lit, slippery path in winter’s wake

Thanks so much for posing these provocative questions as I am very much struggling with them myself. I have been quietly acknowledging to myself that I am feeling blue and missing my core of friends all of whom died within a year of each other. I have made other friends but the deep kind don’t come easy.
Being the community Priestess and Shaman doesn’t always help either as all assume that you are fine always.
I rarely if ever get really depressed but I can feel it poking around my edges like a little frost in this cooler time.
So after contemplating these questions, I said to myself, Enough of This and lit my favorite incense in every room and proceeded to go out to feed my beautiful Appaloosa Mare.
I know that I find my deepest peace and sustenance in this Shamanic realm that I co - create under the loving arms of the Grandmother Tree in my White Room (read on…)

Ritual for Working with Hurricane Ivan /Oya
Date: 9/11/2004 9:43:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time

Many hours of preperation and thought plus a wonderful conversation with my Sister Priestess Omi Aladora Ajamu brought me to the place and time of this amazing ritual. It has lifted my heart and inspired me knowing that many of the thousands who have gotten my emails by now have circled up to help avoid this potential disaster. Ivan the Terrible.
“As you read my words,please feel free to work with what appeals to you in your sacred spaces,do your own rituals,keep the faith and pass on the empowerment needed to elevate the vibration sufficiently to save a lot of lives! I will continue as well til danger ceases. Blessed be!” (read on…)
