How To Shamanically Release Money Worries this Scorpio Full Moon

The sex organs and the sacral chakra, other people's money, red, psychics, blood, mud, brambles, geysers, graveyards, toilets...what do all these have in common? They are all ruled by Scorpio, the sign of the upcoming Full Moon on Sunday, May 3 at 8:42 pm pacific time.

As I write these words while sitting in front of my altar I realize I don't want to channel for this particular Full Moon like I usually do, but instead I'd like to write about the Lefty painting (shamanic cartoon) I did yesterday: I release fear.

When I painted her I meant for the text to read "I release fear" but when I studied it afterwards I realized it could easily be read as "I fear release"! HA! Both are true. And aren't they intimately connected?

I use my left hand drawings in my Creative Soul Readings (a deck of them, actually as I'm sure you already know). I figure out their meaning as I go along.

The Leftys act as shamanic cartoons I believe; a dose of the Trickster AND a self esteem booster prompting many who view them to feel "curiouser and curiouser" as they journey down the rabbit hole into their deeper soul-self.

I've been documenting my Leftys step-by-step recently both on Instagram and Tumblr; here's what I mean (see below).

I enjoy the instant feedback I get on Instagram (and Tumblr) in the form of likes (hearts), new followers and the occasional comment. I enjoy sharing the process - all hand done - not computer generated.

I created the Lefty, "I release fear" to help both myself and others release fears; especially money related fears. See that $ symbol above her head? She is a powerful being. May she support you as well 'cause she's definitely plying her cell-rearranging magick on me. Since working with her over the last 24 hours, I've figured out and written down the branding for my Lefty Art in a way that captures their essence; their heart and soul and mine too, of course, because we are the same. Each time I start to feel anxious about $ I envision this Lefty and I see the strong green pubic triangle that forms the base of the green heart surrounding her and I also see the  3 black (raven) feathers in her place of power. Beneath her is a deep, dark pool of knowledge going down and into the center of the earth, the universe where dark, healing magic grows and sustains us as we lay down roots and claim our power; the power of the Earth Herself.

So, for this Scorpio Full Moon (in cahoots with Beltane/May Day at 8:05 pm on the same day) grab your crystal ball (i chose Obsidian) and go deep.

What needs releasing? Let it out, let it go. Do ritual, ceremony, write it out and burn it in a fire, bury it in the earth or let it flow away in watery tears. Whatever works for you. This Scorpio Moon can help with that; it can help you release and transform and if your issues are $ related please work with today's shamanic  Lefty painting and report back here or to me: I'm always curious to hear more.

Libra Full Moon ~ awaken the kiss within

Full Moon in Libra April 4, 2015, 5:05 am Pacific Time Total Lunar Eclipse: 5:01 am Pacific Time

This Full Moon let's dance in partnership with all our relations; not just loved ones, but everyone. Let's make all our interactions a dance. The style of dance is up to you...slow and steady, raucous and loud, fiery, sharp, jiggly, juicy...take your pick. What are YOU sharing with others right now, today, tomorrow, over the next coupla full moon days?

As for me, I'm debuting my Lefty Art (cards & prints) for the first time in a booth devoted solely to them - finally! It's only taken 15 years to work up the courage. Why so long?  Because I thought they were too weird and that the world wasn't ready for them yet, but after doing the exercise below I realized they are PERFECT and so perfectly imperfect; just like me and you and everyone else we know...so there! It's taken me years to get over a feeling of 'not being good enough' but I'm getting there... I am. How?  By being myself and standing in my truth and by sharing my truth as I'm doing here...by relegating $ anxiety to the wayside which is not easy at all and it's taken a long, long time, but things DO change; for that is something we CAN rely upon. Oh ya, and the other BIGGIE was that I just could not let go of my other work and by that I mean show off in equal measure, both online and at art shows my other styles of art work: the LuLu Series, the Divine Feminine Series, the Aliens, the Magical Folk Art and on an on, but I needed to FOCUS and not confuse folks with all these different styles and for me, the Leftys are IT; they are my heart and soul and they need my full attention and YOURS! This quote from the book, The Twelve Wild Swans sums things up:

Up until now, Rose has followed her call, her intuition, her river. Now she must simply let go and allow herself to be carried away. In any initiation, there comes a moment when the initiate must give over control. In any creative process, there comes a moment when the work takes over, the characters come alive and take on a will of their own.  In ritual, the true moments of ecstasy occur when we let the power move us. But for those moments to happen, the basket needs to be woven, the container needs to be strong. ~  The Twelve Wild Swans. by Starhawk and Hilary Valentine: Rituals, Exercises & Magical Training in the Reclaiming Tradition

Venus, (the Goddess of love and beauty) rules the sign of Libra and in my astrological birth chart She packs an extra wollop 'cause my Venus is in the sign of Libra AND in the 7th House (the Libra House) so I'm going to be sharing my beauty this Full Moon in the form of cards and prints displayed in a lovely, shabby chic booth. My two main props are oooold! The green desk was antique when my husband inherited it as a boy and it's where he did all his homework growing up. The chair was hand caned by his dad, several times actually. I didn't know that the Leftys would fit in with this particular style, but it all came together so organically after countless hours online spent researching booth and card rack designs at fab indie fairs like the Renegade and Crafty Wonderland.

To discover your own style, your brand, your dance, take time to go within during this Full Moon to find your quiet center. Then, look around you at your space; what objects are you in love with that are calling to you? Think about their colors, their feel, and any words that could describe them. Why are they so meaningful to you? Do this quickly while jotting things down in your Moon Journal.

Now, in 3 words sum up your personal style as depicted by all your fave objects surrounding you and make those words matter for they express you; your love, your heart, your soul.

My 3 words: Sweet, natural, earthy My 3 colors: yellow, purple, red Fave objects: a tiny handmade ceramic vase (cute, with swirly designs and a praying mantis), wildflowers, a letterpressed mermaid card, books

Calling Mz Perfect; it's the Virgo Full Moon!

Full Moon in Virgo: March 5, 10:05 am PST

Being a Virgo Full Moon, this is a practical, get-it-done kinda moon with not a lot of emphasis on dreaming. With Mercury, planet of communication and short trips going forward now (as of March 3) we are finally ready to push forward.

To the left is an inspirational card for you I've pulled from my Lefty Deck; what does it say to you?

I hear Miss Manners in the wings: we call upon you now to guide us in kindness and love, to heal and ground us and others in need. Moon Circles or Full Moon Readings like this one help us to do just that. They help us to center and focus and find clarity within.

With the Full Moon in Virgo we clear away the dross becoming pure again and we ask God/dess for guidance. What areas of your life require more clarity and focus? Ask the Secretary Goddess, Mz Perfect to guide you. In what ways could your life benefit from a clearer purpose? What is blossoming for you right now and how could the Divine Secretary help you trim and tend your garden? Ask your heart and soul for guidance and tell the truth!

Remember to look back at the intentions you set at the New Moon (Feb. 18) making it easier for your own Golden Bird to lay her Golden Eggs at the Full. Then let it all go at the Waning Moon, releasing it like a balloon or egg, knowing that you've done good work here today in our Full Moon Circle. Blessed Be.

Calling all psychic students and tarot card readers: it's the first ever Psychic Roundtable in Temecula, California where we'll all get to practice our divination skills on one another in a safe, private, home environment surrounded by great art and architecture plus munchies afterwards. More details here: Psychic Roundtable  (3rd Saturdays from 11-3 pm)

Open Your Heart: Full Moon in Leo

Breathe deeply and allow this Full Moon to wash over you. In our astrological charts the moon represents the mother and where we feel most comfortable emotionally. What feels like home to you and how do you turn a house into a home?  Take a moment to contemplate what this means for you.  If you know what sign your moon is in then add that knowing to the mix as well.  If you need help finding the moon in your birth chart then check out my Moon Charts here.

I happen to have a double Aquarius Moon (ie. my Moon is in the sign of Aquarius in the 11th house, the Aquarius house). I feel at home in groups and with friends and I'm also just fine being by myself doing 'so called' odd or unusual things such as what I'm doing here on this blog! I love meditating in groups --- the energy feels more intense and awesome.  I love learning in groups especially when the teacher thinks creatively or better yet CHANNELS the class material on the spot which is something I like to do for my  classes; that way each class is unique and hopefully transformational.

Full Moon in Leo Oracle Card: Caava Kicks Butt

Time to sink, sink, sink into your subconscious. It's Mercury Retrograde right now so it's not time yet to move forward (wait until Feb. 11 or better yet wait until the Mercury shadow period is over and we're entering the Spring Equinox on March 20.)

This moon is gonna be a deeply felt and intensely emotional moon so be kind to yourself now.  Take time to connect and reach out to extended family or friends you haven't spoken to for a while; perhaps contact a medium to connect with an ancestor who has passed over or put in a dream request to 'see' them again.  It's time now to ask for guidance and healing from friends, your guides or the Divine.

This Full Moon is also very close to the holy day of Imbolc (Candlemas) which marks the half way point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox on the Wheel of the Year. This usually occurs around Feb. 2, but this year it technically falls on Feb. 4.  Traditionally this is a time of initiation, a time of quickening and a time when farmer's ewe's (sheep) began to lactate (the Gaelic word for ewe's milk is "oimelc").  Imagine taking that first long drink of fresh ewe's milk --- take the time to really savour it, then give your imagination free reign.

Lefty Oracle Card for the Immediate Future: Behold

Imagine yourself one year from now. What do you see? Jot down a few things.

I imagine all of us being in tune with ourselves more and more, just as we stay in tune with the New and Full Moons through these blog posts. Our intuition is stronger and we know what we need to be healthy, whole and holy. We love with all our hearts, we garden, we grow and we bake creatively. We do our part and we touch others on an energetic level. We also make time for rest and we find solace in our spirituality and in nature.
