Life sure does have a way of getting busy, doesn't it? And I sure have a way of disengaging with the online realm to allow space for a deeper introspection and integration of the physical and unseen realms when my energy is called to navigate those pressing regions, haha. I don't think I'll ever maintain a consistent presence on this site or any others, and I do hope you understand! Lately I've been finding old entries from journals that feel just as, perhaps even more so, relevant than they did when originally written, and feel the pull to share some. Here's a piece from 2017 that deeply relates to the current paradigm unfoldings
(except instead of August, it's currently June and we've just begun retrograde season, with the Eclipse season portal quickly approaching..) ~ Not even a week into August and the intense energy that psychics and astrologers predicted has definitely been strongly felt. With a recent retrograde, another on the way and two eclipses this month, it's no surprise there have been and will be turbulent emotional states and events to navigate. I've always found each shift in awareness and advancement in vibration first tests us with a multitude of challenges and then reveals the wisdom within the lessons, only after we've learned how to surrender to the tumultuous experiences. Knowing that life will be stormy doesn't necessarily make the blow of the waves any less intense (or painful), but it does gifts us the trust that each time a wave pulls us under, we cultivate the fortitude to be able to quickly rise above the next one that comes ~ and in this current lesson during the school of life, they will indeed always return. I hope you've been taking the time to go within, to nurture your needs and Self, sweet souls, and I hope you always remember how very loved, supported, and capable of overcoming any and all obstacles you truly are. 💜 •'Together we are learning to move from raw emotion and frozen muscles into a flow which emerges deep from within. We are learning to dance our prayers, bleed our words onto the page, laugh our images onto canvas, build our dreams in the world – to transmute and transmit the energy of the Feminine through our bodies and out into the world.' ~Lucy H Pearce •💭✨

I am just a human, sharing bits and pieces of my story, connecting with other humans doing the same. I am not perfect and have never claimed to be. I know I make mistakes and shitty decisions and I also know what it's like to feel alone and broken. I share my time and energy not because I am fully healed and have all my shit together, but simply because I love love, and I love sharing it whenever I am able to, with whomever would like to receive it. sharing authentic, raw moments helps break down the illusion that life is perfect without obstacles to overcome - this entire experience is set up to facilitate growth, and if you've ever had a dark night of the soul, you understand that through the darkest moments come the brightest epiphanies. i believe removing our socially constructed mask and showing others our true essence will bring about the change this society so desperately needs. it honestly means the world to me that I get to connect with so many like minded individuals and that I am able to share the knowledge I'm attaining with others. basically, I just really appreciate you sharing your energy with me and joining me on this journey, and I vibrate with every cell in my body when I say that I ⓛⓞⓥⓔ you 💜 Cultivating the habit of gratitude and love is a (constant) practice I've been working on for many, many years. Due to experiencing severe depression and anxiety it became incredibly necessary to begin shifting my awareness to a state of appreciation by seeking out and noticing the small, synchronistic miracles - first occasionally, then a bit more often, and now daily. This amazingly magickal being within my womb has been my greatest lesson in surrender and trust, and by choosing love every time I could easily choose another emotion (be it fear, anxiety, worry etc), I shift the meaning of all experiences from that of a victim mentality to a victorious state ~ allowing myself to truly believe that my body is capable of healing dis-ease and growing this Starseed, despite many illnesses and losing a tiny babe in the past. We can each take steps (however big or small) to mindfully give thanks for all of our lessons, traumas, tests and triumphs, which therefore raises our vibrational frequency and gives us a greater chance at shifting our perspective more easily each time a new obstacle arises (the school of life is indeed never-ending, which is why it's of utmost importance to go slow, have patience and fully feel all the feels so you can truly understand + transmute them). Consciously choosing love allows me to alchemize my past and current experiences from lead [fear based living] to gold {love based living} and while the process is never easy, it is undoubtedly worth the magic that inevitably begins to unfold.
💜🔯✨ Written a year ago, still just as relevant today;
I've been noticing lately how I handle the lemons life occasionally throws my way ~ shifting from squeezing + resisting them, complaining about how shitty it stings when the juice gets in my eye, to embracing them and turning them into delicious lemonade, muffins, loaves and pie. analyzing and finding the hidden lessons within each situation, each metaphorical lemon, teaches one to recognize the metaphysical spirit medicine as well as the transmutation taking place. how do you handle your lemons? are you actively engaging with them, questioning your conditioned behaviors and patterns, discerning the hidden helpful hints always available? or are you perpetuating old habits and inviting more sticky energetic juice into your life? 🍋✨ every single test has a multitude of lessons inherent within, it simply depends on how many angles you choose to view it from. are you transcending high enough to see?👁💭 it was when I stopped fighting my darkness that I realized it was trying to lead me to my light.
when you're emotionally manipulated like so many of us were as a child, you develop the ability to hide what you're feeling to prevent others from using said feelings against you. you also get very adept at running from 'outside' sources that cause discomfort in an attempt to protect your self - often overlooking that you're actually running from your {self} the entire time. that 'outside' of us which triggers our emotional guidance system is placed there to help us follow the feelings back to the root ~ most often you then find that the original wound inflicted upon you at such a young age was done so unintentionally, and the coping mechanisms that you developed as a result were very understandable up until a certain point. it is when we stop running, that we finally catch up. it is when we stop looking, that we finally see. it is when we stop seeking, that we finally find our true Self; the Self we have always been underneath the layers we have accumulated in this life, the Self that we have always been waiting for. ~it is when this happens, that the truly transformational magick begins~ ✨💜 sending love and strength to you, sweet soul, wrapped in the highest vibes and all the soul hugs you can possibly dream of. you are resilient beyond measure, and more brilliant than you can ever conceive. 💕 As previously mentioned (almost a year ago lol, oopsie been a busy lil 🐝), here is a ritual that can be performed on the day of the Full Moon [I've also heard moon energies are powerful 3 days before & after the actual full phase, in case you're too busy the day of] and can easily be modified for whatever Zodiac the moon falls under. Luna shifts from each Zodiac sign every 2-3 days and this upcoming Wednesday she will be in the sign of Scorpio; a water sign symbolizing death, rebirth, transmutation and intensity. There are SO many different rituals you can perform and a quick Google search will yield ample inspiration; these are just a few things I've been doing and seeing results from over the last few years. I like to invoke all the elements during my ceremonies, and often pay extra respect to whatever one the moon is in during a Full/New Moon ritual. To do this, I'll be taking a detoxifying bath and performing a candle spell while in deep meditation. Before the tub fills up, I let the water run over my hands for a few seconds and picture any worries, fears or negative thought patterns washing down the drain, and then I fill the tub and add Epsom salt for an extra cleansing soak. (Typically I use essential oils + bentonite clay mixed with the salt but haven't been while pregnant). I've carved certain Elder Futhark Rune symbols into a blue spell candle (symbolizing water) to attract specific qualities and cultivate certain traits during this lunar cycle, and will meditate on each symbol to further draw them into me to work closer with the ones I've chosen, allowing the candle to fully burn before leaving the tub. After the bath I take a quick shower to rinse off any toxins drawn out by the salts and again picture negative thoughts washing away with the water, while giving thanks for the healing offered by this sacred element. As the Full Moon signifies completion and releasing unwanted energies + thoughts, in the evening I'll perform a releasing ceremony by writing down any thoughts, fears or the like that no longer serve me on small pieces of paper and put them into my witchy mortar with specific herbs chosen for their magickal properties (I'll go into more detail on these in another post). As mentioned, to utilize each element I bring them into my ritual as follows - I'll take the mortar outdoors under the Full Moon to burn 🔥 the contents and will blow 💨 them out when completely engulfed, then pour water 💦 over them to ensure they're fully extinguished and finally, will dig a hole to bury them in the Earth 🌎, who has the ability to transmute and cleanse any energy we ask her to. To finish, I sit in silence and give deep thanks to each element, Spirit Guide, and Luna herself, and reflect on any insights or messages received during this time. I also place my crystals outdoors to receive a potent moon bath if there's a clear forecast, but if it's supposed to rain I put them along the window ledges so they can still soak up the revitalizing energies. Another simple but powerful thing you can do under the moon phases is make moon water - simply add filtered water to a mason jar (or anything that can be sealed shut) and place a crystal that is not water soluble inside it to infuse it with crystal energy, leaving it outdoors to soak under the moons energy for a potent elixir to be enjoyed during the week ahead (can also be used to make tea; so delicious) Full Moon affirmation I'll be utilizing: Let us celebrate this Scorpio Full Moon as we transmute and ascend beyond our fears and celebrate this life in deepest gratitude, reverence and wonder. All is well, all is love. & so mote it be. ✨🌕✨ I almost can't believe how long it's been since I last updated this site!
Life became incredibly busy last year with moving home, re-connecting with my soul mate and diving deep into another period of growth and introspection. I also took a lot of time to sort through the lessons I was experiencing while grounding into the shifts taking place, and didn't force myself to share things before I was ready to - it's so easy to open up about past experiences and challenges I've faced, but I'm still learning how to be as raw while I'm feeling vulnerable during the transitions currently happening. With Beltane just a few days away, and the signs of Spring coming more and more each moment, I'm so grateful to finally feel a blossoming taking place within and the desire to begin opening up again alongside our gorgeous goddess Gaia. I think this feeling could also stem from the beautiful being growing inside my womb co-created by my love and I, causing my body to feel and look like a blooming is taking place, heh! I'm currently working on several projects that I'll be sharing more of in the future, so for now I'll leave you with a piece I channeled a little over a year ago that feels just as fitting during this retrograde period as the one taking place when I wrote it ~ when we (re)commit to our own self mastery we often become (re)acquainted with the often solitary path that leads to individual awakening. because I have both seen and felt a massive shift in the collective consciousness taking place I have immense hope that soon everyone will walk this path.. however, what about the ones that have been and are now walking it ~ the ones who may feel isolated and confused? I think that as we begin giving ourselves the same love we have always shared and offered with others, we can truly begin to feel the blossoming of our souls towards the direction of our highest self. as we begin supporting ourselves the way we wished others could offer support, we can feel safe in our own company, decisions and intuitive knowings. and as we begin connecting with every self within us, we can truly understand how complex each persons journey to self-actualization is. I apologize for my absence sweet friends, and I think of you quite often. I am sending you so, so much love, and the fondest gratitude for all that you are. I truly and sincerely thank you for your part in this journey towards oneness, that will one day make all this separateness seem like an ancient relic of the past. seriously. you're awesome 👋💓 💫 with love and purple faerie dust ✨💜 🌛 'lunå mоths are associated with intuition, psychic perception and increased awareness.
more generally, in many cultures butterflies and moths are thought to symbolize human souls, rebirth and transformation.' 🌜 there have been so, so many magickal happenings + synchronicities occurring recently ~ I hope you've also been experiencing the massively powerful shifts and transmutations taking place, sweet soul clan 👁🙏💜✨🌈🍃 Each phase of the moon corresponds with different magickal influences. Here is a simple break down of what energies are most easily harnessed within each phase (later on I'll give examples for more in-depth rituals that can be performed during the Full and New Moon).
The New or Crescent Moon - Beginnings - A wonderful time to start a project or put forth desired manifestations. The First Quarter Moon - Action - Take practical action steps, continue moving forward with your plans and projects. The Gibbous Moon – Movement - You may begin seeing results, but not quite the end result. The Full Moon – Harvest - Time to reap the rewards of your hard work, a great time to work on releasing unwanted energies and projects. The Disseminating Moon – Thinking - Energies and thoughts begin to turn inward as the moon begins to wane, allowing you to consider the lessons learned and experience gained from your hard work. The Third (Last) Quarter Moon – Release - After thinking about what did and didn't work with your projects and goals, this phase helps you let go so you can refocus on what worked and what direction you want to go. The Balsamic Moon - Peace - This is a time to release, surrender, relax and recuperate. Rest up during this phase and allow new thoughts and ideas to manifest to be put forth on the approaching New Moon. if we have deeply rooted psychological patterns we cannot expect ourselves to immediately rewire them, for pushing ourselves past our current limits will ultimately hinder our growth rather than support it. to fully nurture all aspects of the self while simultaneously accepting the current limitations is the most compassionate approach to our healing process 〰 rather than kicking our shadow side when we're feeling stuck with metaphorical "love and light transcendental mumbo jumbo", we grow & evolve much more from allowing whatever emotional state we encounter to surface mindfully when we are truly ready (which is often before our ego actually feels prepared, btw) I have found it quite counterproductive to become increasingly upset by continually rejecting, denying and suppressing the aspects that we have been taught and conditioned to avoid. we also benefit greatly by remembering that in order to allow such a process to unfold, it takes immense inner strength and resilience; so if you have chosen a life with difficult lessons and paths then rest assured that you do innately have the ability to integrate these experiences with both gentle kindness and unconditional love ~ you just have to tenderly quiet the ego, to create space for the soul to share what it has always known 💭✨🙏💜
