Psychic Expo in Hamilton Ontario

Namaste,

I spent a good deal of time at the Hamilton Psychic Expo today. The energy was overwhelming; I actually found it to be quite suffocating. I’m still working on creating energy walls against energies I find intrusive.

There were a few moments where I actually felt dizzy from everyone reaching in, trying to read me. I *know* they were trying to read me, because I was reading doing it. And I *know* they were reading me, because I had many, many comments from many, many tables about my energy: “You are very easy to read,” “Wow, you feel strong,” “Are you a healer?” “You must be a healer.”

They weren’t wrong, but I didn’t ask to be read as I was walking by your table. I find it intrusive, and as energy-working folks, they should have known better: you ask before you step into that space and know someone that intimately.

I wanted to be read by someone, and I brought my mother along with me. My mother was asking me “who felt right” as we did the rounds, and one woman gave off a very strong, but very loving energy. I could feel my guides press upon me, as I often do, but not in an uncomfortable manner. I decided to go with her, and I was glad I did. I asked her for confirmation about my life path, about my spiritual journey, and she just confirmed what I was feeling in my spirit. It was a beautiful reading. She recorded it, and will be sending me the MP3 at some point, and when I get it and listen to it again, I will write about it all in more detail.

She started her reading by telling me she sees Scarabs. I was blown away… with my connection & love of Egypt, I was immediately “turned on” and ready to receive her messages. That was a clear message from my guides, ensuring this woman was for real.

At one point, I asked her for messages from my Spirit Guides and she looked at me, quite confused, and said, “Did you really just ask me that? You’re joking, right? You need to stop doubting yourself. You hear them, you see them, you feel them. I’m not getting in between that relationship you are building.” I laughed. And I also felt far more confident in my skills, my abilities, and my ongoing and ever-building relationship with my guides. It was a beautiful thing.

I left my business cards for Seeking Celestial Grace around the place and they disappeared almost instantly, so if you’re here because of coming across my card on a table at Crowne Plaza, you are meant to be here, we are meant to have a connection, and I’m happy you’re here. Explore, read, participate in the discussion, and reach out if you would like a reading or some guidance from me. You’ll find that my prices are quite low, and perhaps it may have you doubting my abilities, but feel free to have a look at my testimonials, and understand that this is not my primary income, but something I want to do because I know my purpose in this life is to help, and the assistance-karma is my true reward.

Love, Light & Blessings,
Cloud

Post Scriptum: I also bought a new deck – The Hobbit Tarot. I’m already in love… You can expect an interview with the deck, soon.

Spirit Guide Spread – Part Two

Namaste!

I did another Spirit Guide spread yesterday morning. I’ll be a little quicker with these results as I don’t have all the time in the world to type it up, and my last posting gives a good run-down of how the spread works.

Is my Spirit Guide male or female?
Knight of Staffs – I really thought this one would end up being female, but male took the dominant stage. The knight of staffs is passionate, has a strong energy, is explorative, a rebel and wanderer, and loves freedom (which totally sounds like a description of me! So maybe that’s why I thought the energy was one of a female!).

The personality of my spirit guide:
Countess of Swords- Cold and aloof, determined, forceful. Don’t look to this guide for gentle words, but look to this guide for strong opinions. He’s very intelligent, and can cut to the heart of every problem in my life.
Page of Coins – This card was used to describe my previous guide, as well. Meditative mind, careful, pragmatic, disciplined, high energy.
Knight of Cups – Romantic, charming, high spiritual aspirations, constantly questing, a dreamer (this card seems to contrast with the first, which makes me think that my guide is as emotional as I am!)

Element associated with my guide:
Ace of Swords – I CANNOT MAKE THIS UP! Just like my dream, I met my guide NORTH and I met my guide EAST as the Ace of Swords is associated with the East! My mind is blown! The element is air, which explains my guide’s indecision with it’s personality – haha!

Three things my guide is here to show me:
The Hanged Man –Clarity of vision, balance, submission to things greater than myself, and personal sacrifice
Empress – Strength, my ruling passions, the feminine (there’s further explanation as to why this guide felt feminine to me!), and my wild nature!
Sun – happiness, enlightenment, kindness, glory and accomplishment

What do I need to do to understand your guidance?
Six of Swords – I got the same card on the first draw with my other guide, too! This is a journey, I must listen to the messenger, I must be ready for periods of transition and always be ready to move to the next phase that I am being guided down.
Five of Coins – I may feel as though I’m “struggling to survive”, so I must be ready to toil, I must be determined, honest and ready for this relationship
Eight of Cups – Again, I must progress through uncertainty and be ready to separate from old paths, following my guide down the path that is best for me

Yet again, this reading has given my other guide much clarity, and I cannot believe I got North and East (in that order, as they introduced themselves to me in my dream) in my spreads. If I dream of any more guides, I can assure you I’ll be doing another reading!

Who is My Spirit Guide Spread

I decided to do the ‘Spirit Guide’ spread that I saw on Balance The Scale’s Blog in order to get a deeper understanding of the Guides I work with. I know I have more than one (two for sure, but I have a feeling there may be four energies present) and I wish to do this spread again and find out more about other Guides, but I wasn’t feeling great today and only got through one reading.

First, to do this reading, you separate the cards into Courts, Minors, Majors and Aces. You’ll get an idea of what pile of cards I use for each part of the reading!

Is my Spirit Guide a man or a woman? – Page of Cups
Dedicated life to study and learning, devoted, loyal, a keeper of secrets. Page usually reads as male, but some cards have them as male or female… This deck, it is represented by a male, and I understand the guide to be a male (which is further confirmed later in the reading).

What 3 personality traits does my Spirit Guide have?
Countess of Staffs -Creative, virtuous, charming, loves to get their way, sometimes overwhelming
Countess of Coins – Generous, gracious, sincere, someone who gives a feeling of security and makes you feel safe
Page of Coins – meditative mind, careful, pragmatic, disciplined, high energy

I am lead to believe that when I am feeling my strongest vibrations, it is the energy of this particular guide that I am feeling. The energy of my guides can often be overwhelming, and I can see that this particular one would always want to be heard! And it’s usually the most overwhelming feelings that lead me to be most creative or productive, so it makes a lot of sense.

What element is my Spirit Guide associated with? – Ace of Coins
Coins are associated with the Earth element, which is actually tied with the compass location of NORTH! I am not sure if you read about the dream I had a few days ago, but I dreamt my guides came to me (two of them as deer) to tell me their names were NORTH and EAST. In my dream, North was the male energy present! This element is associated with winter, and the following astrological signs: Taurus/Virgo/Capricorn. My Twin Flame is a Virgo.

What 3 things are you here to show me?
Holy Fool – Divine Awareness! Play havoc with the ordered world, challenge set patterns of existence, knock down walls we build around ourselves
Fortitude – Strength, courage, endurance, authority, calm determination, patience. Mastery of self! Taming of the wilder elements of our consciousness to access our personal power.
Tower – A break down of old ways, wake-up calls, being aware of dissolution, being ready for sudden change

I’ve got to say, I do have a guide in my life who, when I’m impacted by their presence, leads me immediately into impulsive and sudden change, inspiration and ready to take on the world. I am honoured by the presence of this Spirit Guide…

What do I need to understand in order to help my Spirit Guide help me?
Six of Swords – This is a journey, I must listen to the messenger, I must be ready for periods of transition and always be ready to move to the next phase that I am being guided down.
Eight of Coins – Hard work is expected of me, commitment to my Spirit Guide and my journey is necessary, I must be creative and see our relationship as Apprentice to Master.
Two of Staffs – I must be constantly seeking to uncover the next steps on my journey, I must allow for inspiration and “ah-ha” moments from the universe; this inspiration will come from a supernatural source (my guide) and I should intuitively listen to them.

I absolutely loved doing this reading! I cannot wait to try it again and read more of the other Spirit Guides present in my life. I am going to meditate on this connection and try and strengthen our bond, now that I know more about this male energy present in my life.

—————-

Yesterday, I went to the Ancaster Gem Show and my favourite metaphysical shop, Akasha’s Den, and got a few rock goodies.

I was drawn to the white quartz in the corner because it’s a Window Quartz. I was talking by and my eye instantly looked inside the window. I was captivated. I felt the push from my guides that I needed to own it. I looked it up on my phone and noticed that it is often referred to as a “Seer Stone”… my Developing Your Psychic Abilities book has asked that I keep an eye out for a Seer Stone to make a presence in my life! Well — here is was!

I also got that black piece of Shungite. Let me tell you… initially, I walked by this Shungite booth, not pulled in to it because I’m not often drawn to black stones. But I decided to have another look on my second go-around and I thought to hold one. I was BLOWN AWAY. The vibrations in my hand were absolutely INSANE. I had to have a piece to bring home with me. I recommend looking up the stone which has a very interesting chemical compound, unlike any other rock in the universe. I purchased the piece from Shungite Canada and I think I’ll keep an eye on maybe purchasing more of these stones. I have never felt a vibration like that in all my life. I am feeling a bond with the stone already, and I’m excited to see where it will take me.

Alas, it’s quite late for a work night, and I’m not feeling 100%, so I should head off.
There is much more I wish I could talk about, and more readings I wish I felt drawn to do, but I need to listen to my body.

Blessings, Love&Light, kind reader!

Messenger Oracle Review

Shalom and good evening!

If you follow me on Instagram (@seekingcelestialgrace) you might have noticed that I acquired a gorgeous new oracle deck, just in time for the outstanding Blood Supermoon Lunar Eclipse we had last night.

Tonight, I did a very brief interview with the deck, as I don’t feel that we have completely imprinted on one another yet but I am already in love with the way it reads, its imagery and its messages (with all these new oracle decks, I might have to switch up my available options for client readings!).

What does the deck want me to know about it? HAVE COURAGE
It’s interesting that the deck should show me this card first when I was just recently speaking of the dreams I used to have as a child where I was running from a giant lion (who I believe might actually be one of my spirit guides). The oracle wants me to know that I am not alone anymore. Gaia and The Great Spirit are with me along my journey and have brought these messages into my life for good reason and divine guidance. They’re here for me now.

What card do you want me to see? SEEK THE LESSON
Again, the deck shows me another animal symbol that I have always felt connected go, perhaps clarifying to me that my guides are truly with me and are communicating through this deck. I really feel the high energy radiating from this deck; I am feeling the love!
This particular card speaks to seeking wisdom in unknown places, and acknowledging the different forms and roles our spirit teachers take. Everything is connected, and I think this deck is emphasizing to me what a divine connection we will have!

What does the deck think about me? REVEAL YOUR TRUTH
The oracle wants me to cast aside the mask that hides my truth, that hides my light. It believes I possess magick and wisdom and I hide it under the normal that so many ask me to be… And this isn’t far from the truth. I have a role to play in society and I play it well. But maybe I shouldn’t hide so much of me. Maybe I’m preventing my own growth this way…

This deck is outstanding. It’s so beautiful. And I’m really starting to feel our bond. The more I read with it, imprint upon it, the more our relationship will grow. I have been blessed with two other-worldly oracle decks as of late and I cannot express how much love flows from my heart in gratitude to the universe for helping me find them when I didn’t expect to.

Have you come across any amazing oracle decks lately? Or tarot decks?

Before I sign off for the night, I’m asking that you please send prayers and positive affirmations for my friend’s husband Paul. I would be most grateful for any blessings you send his way.

Blessings, love&light!

Dreams & Spirit Animals

Namaste,

Last night I had the most curious dream… I was standing in the middle of a forest (it was like a wide open plain in the centre of the forest… encircled by trees) and I was meditating on the thought that I wanted to be shown my Spirit Guides. Two deer emerged from the trees and walked right up to me. They rubbed up against me. I asked them if they were my Spirit Guides and they nodded. I asked them their names and they mentally conveyed that they were named North (the male said he was North) and East (the female told me she was East). I hugged them and they gave me a deep sense of comfort. In my dream, I was sobbing and I woke up just as emotional.

I had gone to bed the night before asking my Archangels if they would please allow me to dream of my guides and remember them. I shared this dream on Instagram and had someone tell me that they truly are my Animal Guides, and will now remain with me on the physical plane, and that I could call upon them and they will manifest, at all times.

I truly did not expect my Spirit Animals to be deer! I went to the book shop tonight and was looking at various Animal Spirit Guide books for information about Deer and I found this:
In the Solar System, they are represented by the Sun.
Their number is 7 (one of my lucky numbers since I was a child).
Their magical association are Fairies (which I have been drawn too since I was a child).
They activate and awaken new adventures.
They are gentle, graceful, represent clarity and peace. They also represent rebirth (I have many tattoos symbolizing rebirth). They’re sensitive and highly spiritual, and are very wise.
A doe has powers in communication, enchantment and achieving goals.
A stag has knowledge, brings messages and omens from the other world, proposes quests, also represent rebirth and shamanic work.

I always thought my Spirit Animals would be a lion or a canine (wolf or dog), as those are animals I’ve felt the pull towards since I was a child. In fact, I had a re-occurring dream about being chased through a castle by a lion that was as tall as the walls. He was huge. I would have this dream about once a week, and despite how fearful I felt in the dream, running from the lion, I still had an unmistakable love and adoration for the wild feline. Could he have also been my Spirit Animal? Why would he frighten me? Or was he just trying to get my attention?

I feel that if my Spirit Guides are named North and East, I must have another pair called South and West! Should I just ask that they show themselves in my dreams, again? Or does anyone have any suggestions for contacting/making a connection with their Spirit Animals? Please share in the comments!

On a different note, I’m currently in the process of letting my spell in dedication of Archangel Michael on his Feast Day settle until I have to get back to it and complete it. And I am definitely looking forward to the Full Moon tomorrow and the spell casting to go along with it! I am planning on cooking up some Lunar Elixirs for this moon cycle, I just need to gather the essential oils, the herbs and the stones necessary. I’ve never done anything like it before and I’m very excited to try my hand at elixirs! Have you ever made one for a new moon or full moon cycle?

I am noticing the positive effects of many spells that I have cast over the last little while, and I’m so grateful to my guides, to the Archangels, to the universe, to the Great Spirit, for working along with me and allowing all this positivity to manifest in my life. I am truly blessed!

Blessings, Love&Light,

Book of Shadows

Namaste, folks!

I had someone on Instagram comment on my video of my Book of Shadows that they loved what I’ve begun to put together, always wanted to do one, themselves, but that they had no idea where to begin. And thus, this blog post was inspired! (Thank you, beautiful goddess!)

First, what is a Book of Shadows?
While a BoS is usually a text that is used by Wicca or Pagan individuals, it’s basically a collection of important spiritual writings or information that guide one’s practice or collects many sources in one easy-to-use text, for quick access. Instead of buying a BoS at a book store, compiling one turns the text into an immensely personal object and something that can be passed down to generations if you so choose. It also becomes alive as it is ever-changing (you can add things or take away things as you see fit).

How could it be made?
Some people just buy a lovely notebook and it becomes the place within which they collect their thoughts, ideas, and collection of spiritual information, but mine was made a bit differently.

I took a binder (easy to add and remove pages in a binder!) and I used Mod Podge to cover the front and back of the plastic. I then layered on brown tissue that I had crumbled up to give the book texture. I even folded some tissue paper and made a fake “binding” look on the spine of the binder. I used alphabet stickers to label my BoS and added a bit more texture and design with a dry brush and some tan paint.

I am using protective binder sheets within my BoS so that my pages can easily be moved around and organized as I see fit. I’m using pretty page labels on the edges so that I can quickly access the information that is important to me. And I am designing all of my pages on scrapbook paper that I cut and slip into the protective plastic when I am done.

It’s simple, easy to use, easy to change around, and it’s lovely to look at which is always a bonus!

But how do I start? What pages do I need in here?
The easiest way to begin compiling your BoS is to start with the most important pages of your text and the inspiration for the rest will follow.
The first pages of your BoS should have:
An authorship (made by, on what date) and dedication page (the gods/goddesses/spirits you worship/dedicate this text to)
A page that states the law of your coven (if you’re in one) or of your spirit (things you abide to within your spiritual practice)

From there, the rest will follow. But in case the inspiration doesn’t flow naturally, here are some ideas of what you can put in your BoS:
– spells
– important tarot spreads or info
– numerology info
– astrological info
– elemental info
– herbology info
– the wheel of the year
– information about gods/goddesses/spirits/other
– memorable dreams you had
– moments of intuition
– making notes of synchronicity in your life
– chakra info
– your favourite yoga poses
And there are so many more possibilities you can role with!

This text is immensely personal and need not be fancy, but it does help to create a bond with yourself, your spirit, the Great Spirit, and your practice in a way I cannot explain in a blog post. I highly recommend it for all spiritual individuals out there, looking to make their lives just a little more sacred!

Please share photos of your Books of Shadows if you make one/have one!

Blessings, Love&Light!

Equinox in Tune

Blessings! Namaste!

As you may have read in my previous posts, I’m in the middle of the forest on an overnight trip with students and while I was dreading it, it’s the time I get alone that make the experience so valuable to me.

I took a solitary walk on the grounds, which are South Algonquin and are absolutely beautiful. While I was walking, a frog made himself known and I had a moment with him. Then, when I was walking along, wondering what my spirit animal might be, a rabbit walked right in front of me, crossing my path, looking at me but knowing I wasn’t a threat. Later along this solitary walk, I was contemplating for a sign about my spirit animal, again, and I heard movement in the bushes around me. Again, a rabbit stepped out, right in front of me, this time running as if to say, “catch me if you can!” I never imagined that my spirit animal could be a rabbit. I have always been drawn to wolves, owls, and lions… How can I know for sure, what my totem friends look like? Can anyone help with this?

The starry sky was outstanding; so clear, so beautiful, and the crisp air made the experience so magical. I love Autumn and I love being up North. It’s the only place in Canada that really feels like home.

I also retired to bed a bit early in order that I could do an Autumn Equinox spell. Setting my intentions for the new season – my favourite season – is very important to me. Making time for sacred moments on such a special night was absolutely necessary to me.

This trip is teaching me patience, better understanding of the adolescent mind, and it’s allowing me the time I so desperately have been guided to spend in nature, where I belong. I’m grateful for this opportunity, regardless of how exhausting it is.

Goodnight, beauties.

Have you noticed a new page?

Namaste, beautiful strangers and friends!

Have you noticed a new page in the navigation bar on my website? Well, let me tell you all about what I am now offering at seeking celestial grace!

I have always been drawn to healing. As a youth, I believed I would be a psychiatrist, and my friends knew me as the one to solve any problem. Into my adult years, I saw my career choice – a teacher – as a healer in a way; a good teacher creates a safe space where students forget any issues they had before they stepped over the classroom threshold. And so, as someone who has finally acknowledged her Lightworker self, and who has begun to embrace her Empath abilities, and who has been pushed in readings and communication with guides to share my healing abilities with others, this seemed like the logical next step for my website.

I haven’t yet gained the skills of physical healing, but I do have a gift with healing mental, emotional and spiritual struggles, and I wish to share those skills with you.

For $12 USD, you can send me an e-mail (an essay or story if it helps to type it all out!) and ask me for guidance in anything that plagues you: relationship troubles, misunderstanding readings or dreams, next steps you should take in your life when nothing seems to be working, and the like.

What I will offer you in return is the following:

Highly intuitive understandings of emotional situations, dream and reality imagery and accurate readings of the intention of others
Guidance for spells and rituals that you can perform that will help you with centering yourself, focusing your thoughts, achieving what you’d like to manifest in your life, or help bring solace to any struggles
Assistance with a reading from the Goddess Isis oracle for how to go about solving your problem
Honest and unbiased opinions about the situation and how to manifest intentions that benefit you
Crystal and incense/oil suggestions
Archangel guidance suggestions
Book suggestions, if applicable
Astrological information that might be applicable to your situation or needs
All the while, my words are being directed through the counsel of my guides and the Archangels

All this will be done in my sacred space, an environment filled with positive intention, and never when I am not in the right frame of mind (tired, angry, high on caffeine or having had any alcohol). This guidance is sacred, and I always treat it as such.

I have been offering spiritual guidance for years, so you will receive a response that is very personalized and highly professional.

If you require a response in 24 hours or less, the fee for “Rush Guidance” is $22 USD. If this is a requirement, please title your e.mail subject line as, “RUSH GUIDANCE”.

If this seems like something you might be interested in, you can e.mail me, titling your e-mail as, “GUIDANCE”. Write out as much information about your situation as you can provide.
This is completely confidential and your e.mail will never be shared with anybody.
Include the names of anyone else that might be referenced in your e.mail.
Include your birthday and the signs or birth dates of anyone else in your e.mail.
Clarify your main concerns/your main reasons for the e.mail and guidance request.
And my guides and myself will do the rest! Please read the following terms&conditions, and by e.mailing me, you agree to the following:

My spiritual healing and guidance are not meant to be definitive representations of what your future holds (I do not predict the future!), but a guide to assist you in your personal needs.

I will never tell you what to do, how to do it, what the definitive answer is, or what someone else should do (I will only answer for you and your needs). I will give you suggestions, but cannot be held responsible for what occurs after I have sent you my reply.

My spiritual guidance will be intuitive and knowledgeable and will aim to give you a sense of grace or assist you in overcoming struggles. I am an honest Lightworker, I am down to earth and free of prejudice, and I will always give you the best, most thorough guidance that my guides will allow me to give. You can always expect something personal, just for you, but I cannot be held responsible if the response you’ve received leaves you angry or disappointed.

I will only assist individuals 18+.
I will not give legal or financial advice.
I am not responsible for any events that may occur following.
I reserve the right to refuse a guidance.
“Rush Guidance” are the only guaranteed way to get your response in under 24 hours.

If you agree to these terms and conditions, you can e.mail me at: seekingcelestialgrace@gmail.com

Once you’ve e.mailed me, I will send you a PayPal invoice indicating that I have received your request, with an approximate time as to when I will be able to dedicate time to your concerns.

———————

This is something I have been contemplating for a while, as, firstly, I felt it was an important ‘next step’ with regards to my psychic abilities and the journey I am taking to grow with them, and secondly, it’s always been something that I intuitively did with other people, and I am very good at it, so it seemed like a natural progression! I find that a lot of people are not ready for a Tarot reading but still would like guidance or would like unbiased advice on their issues, and this is truly the best way to go about offering my assistance and my healing to others in a way that might make them feel more comfortable. It is highly personal, very detailed, very professional, and jam-packed with tips and tricks, spells and sacred suggestions!

What do you think of the new offerings at Seeking Celestial Grace?!

———————-

In other news, I went to a Renaissance Faire today and came back inspired, and as such, I came home, found some branches that fell off the gorgeous tree in my backyard (I wish I knew what it was…) and created a magic wand! Check it out (poor photos, but I’ll get better ones soon, I promise):

What do you think?! I burnt elemental, rune, Wicca and astrological symbols into the wood (which burned so smoothly and beautifully, because I truly feel I have a connection with that tree in my backyard) and gave it an Amethyst and Quartz point tip. The feather is from an owl at a bird conservatory, that was given to me by the caretaker of the owl (I adore owls). It was such a pleasure to make that I was thinking about whether or not this should be something I offer in my shop (for about $20-$30 USD depending on the size, crystal, etc)… would that be something you think you’d be interested in? Or something you think someone else might be interested in? Let me know in the comments!

That’s all for today – but I think it’s a whole lot! I still have to put together my Altar Box that I have to bring along with me on my overnight trip with the school and get to some Tarot Readings.

Oh! That reminds me! ALL TAROT READINGS, AFTER TOMORROW (SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 20th), WILL NOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL FRIDAY AND FOLLOWING. RUSH READINGS CANNOT BE COMPLETED THIS WEEK. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

Blessing, Love&Light! Please let me know your thoughts in the comments… I’m eager to read them 🙂

so much to do, so little time

Namaste, gorgeous souls!

There’s a lot to share with you, and I hope I remember it all…

I got a Tarot reading by a beautiful human on Instagram called @nathaliesage (I have read for her, as well, and we have exchanged many talks since then… I haven’t had a reading by another in ages but I am in love with her energy and took her up on the offer for a free reading) and she told me some absolutely incredible things, that really solidified the answers to a lot of questions I was holding in my heart. Here a few snippets of the high-energy beauty she shared with me:

Tapping into my energy blew her mind! (The feeling was mutual when I read for her!)
I can do anything I set my mind to – I’ve got the spirit to will it
There are Fae around me that are asking for my attention
I’ve come a long way on my spiritual journey and am ready to step up and fulfill my mission
There are some fears holding me back from tapping into all of my own power and it could be tied to past life trauma I am bringing with me into this life
I need to tap into Nature’s energies, get in touch with my inner Wicca and make more meditative connections with nature spirits
I also need to move forward with healing – possibly past life stuff – and let myself be more vulnerable

All of the reading resonated with me, but the thing that stuck out the very most was the emphasis on tuning in with nature, connecting with my inner witch and taking time to talk to the Fae that surrounds me. It really stuck with me because as of late, I have been drawn to books that focus on naturalistic religion and nature-focused spell casting. And I used to see fairies, goblins and really evil, evil sprites when I was a child, but haven’t seen them in years. I have very vivid memories of these creatures… The fairy flew into my room through my window, a small sparkle of light, flew towards me, moved things around near my head (I heard it) and then I watched her fly out. I also used to see goblins walking up my stairs, peeking through the stair spindles, peeking into my room and then running away, and walking around – as if on guard – outside my room. My experience with evil little sprites was I once woke from my sleep having had a bad dream, and joined my grandparents in their bed in the guest room. I was lying between them and looking at the chandelier on the ceiling… these little black, evil looking things were hanging from it, holding fingers to their lips, telling me to “shhhh” and threatening to climb down onto the feet of my grandparents (and I could sense it was to harm them). I told them “no” and “don’t” and they stuck their tongues out at me and disappeared…

Overall, the reading seemed to indicate that I’ve got some strong psychic abilities about me! And that I need to heal, tap into my energy and my guides and move forward. If you have any suggestions on Fae literature or cards, I would love to hear them!

After my reading, I felt drawn to pull a Goddess Isis Oracle card about where to go next, and a Byzantine Tarot card about the same or the next steps. The readings I got were outstanding!

The Portal of Light was the oracle card I got, indicating that I am only bound by the physical world, but I’m conscious beyond this! It’s safe to allow myself to expand as I grow in power and awareness. I am not who I thought I was – I am a much vaster being, and even more wonderful gifts await me, including gifts of healing, and Isis would like to guide me, beyond time and space! The portal of light is opened for me to walk through, be healed, and share this healing with others.

The Four of Staffs was the Tarot card that I drew, and in simple terms, it indicates a harvest of the work I have put into myself, my spirituality and the acknowledgement of my psychic abilities and gifts. It speaks of a “homecoming” and when I work with the spirit is when I feel most at home. I will taste the fruits of my bountiful soul!

I could not be more excited about what the future holds! This was all shared with me shortly after ordering my first batch of business cards and as I was planning to create myself a Book of Shadows! And so, I did! At least, I mean, I’ve started to! As of such, I’ve created my dedication page, my “Law of Spirit” page (I suppose I am “solitary” so it’s the laws I follow for my spiritual journey), a page on the elements and I’ve started a page on numerology. I really love it, already, and I am starting to feel the energy I’m pouring into it being a very powerful thing. In it’s collective and complete state, I bet it will be a very powerful book. A very personal book, but immensely powerful.

I am so excited for Mabon/Autumn Equinox, but a very unfortunate event is occurring that prevents me from enjoying it in my own sacred way (it’s also my partner’s birthday on that day, so it has more loving intention poured into it)… I have to go on a 3 day, 2 night trip with a bunch of 8th graders on a leadership camp/cabin trip, starting on the Equinox. I’m so disappointed. Already I have been complaining that I don’t have enough personal time to start my days off in a spiritual manner, and that I’d like to take more time to focus on me and my sacred needs, and here I will be, up at 6, on duty at 7 and in bed by 11:30pm… how does that give me any time to dedicate myself to honouring nature, honouring the spirits, honouring the universe… Despite the exhaustion I’ll likely face, I will have to take the few moments before bed to do something in private for my soul… Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

I suppose that’s all I have to share that is of value. I know there has been more going on with this week, but alas, if I don’t write it when I think it, it’s lost. And I can’t seem to bring myself to write it late at night, because I would much rather make some time for spiritual reads and casting.

Oh! One last thing: I found a book at the thrift shop that’s about Mary Magdalene. Specifically, it’s a man who is channeling her spirit and writes, in her words, her experience. It’s amazing… I paid $2.99 for this book that is causing me the most intense vibrations from my guides! When I sit down with it, I am overwhelmed by the beauty in the words and the story she tells about her experience with the Master, Jesus. It’s so beautiful… I am flying through it. I’ll tell you more once I finish it up!

Are you reading anything lovely lately?

Wishing you the most blessed night, the night of Rhiannon! Have you cast your spells of self-love or romantic love, tonight?

Oh, and Mercury is in retrograde so I dropped a million things today and I was unnecessarily stressed and the like. Could be worse!

Tips and tricks appreciated

Morning blessings!

I need some help… I’m not a night owl (I get pretty sleepy as soon as the sun dips) and I’m not an early morning person (before 8:30am is pushing it) but I do get a lot of spiritual work done, focused, in the morning hours.

My problem is as such: I started work again which means early wake times, and I’m currently driving a friend, meaning wake times are at 5:40am. I’m not only too tired to focus on the spiritual, but when I finally start waking up, it’s time for me to head out of the house. I don’t start my morning with something spiritual and so I feel as if I haven’t started my day on the right foot.

I don’t want to rush the sacred. I definitely can’t do the waking up any earlier business. I’m so torn.

How do you all balance the spiritual with the work day?

Love and Light!
