Libra New Moon: Saying Goodbye to Social Media

It's Autumn and things are slowing down in Nature as am I. I let go of social media this month after a visit home to Ontario, Canada where I let the deep lake water wash over me as I floated, floated, floated. Watched the beavers and the otter play, and the blue heron and loon swim and fly and utter their gorgeous (the loon) and weird (heron) songs.

During my time away I realized that whenever I shared anything on my phone or on the internet it felt like WORK, a huge amount of work. Posting/sharing/chatting/responding to everything and everyone on Facebook Instagram, texts, emails. So I shut it all down. I stopped looking at it (except when sales came thru, of course). I honestly felt like a hollow shell; I had nothing left to give.

So now, I give you this, just this: my museletter and this blog. That's all. It will be enough. I feel myself going back in time to BEFORE; before the internet was on my phone and the incessant, undending chatter took precedence. I have myself back.

I want our time together to be magic, a respite. So mote it be.

In that spirit I share with you my latest painting from the Faerieality Series. May she delight you in sparkly, unseen, magickal, trixsy ways. That is all. Just enjoy.

If you feel like she must be yours there is a link below.

Sparkly Blessings!

"Like many fairies, the birch fairy can open the portals to the subtle realms. The birch is associated with cleansing and freshness, and the goddess Arianrhod is invoked using birch, to attract fertility and aid creativity." (The Fairy Bible by Teresa Moorey)

Aquarius Full Moon Reading

Card 1: Sandpiper (Elfin Ally Oracle)

Keyword: Swirly
Meaning: This is an emotional time so take care of yourself first.
Reversed: You are trying to do too much and are in danger of burning out.

Affirmation: I am LOVE.
Astrology: Aquarius, Neptune, Pisces, Pluto
Element: Air, Water

Medicine: You reach deep down into the heart of the VOID to release the Magick within.

Lore: She belonged by the sea, with Sandpiper, her ally, at her side. It was the light and the sounds and the water babies cooing that kept her there year after year, singing her song.

You open me up to the very depths of my being, scraping the corners of my heart with your sensitive bill, feeling into my empty spaces to fill them up with all that ever was – JOY.

Purchase the original Sandpiper.

Card 2: Demon (Lefty Oracle)

Mantra: I transform.

Affirmation: I journey into the dark to discover inner truths.

Element: Spirit

Song
Be brave dear Soul,

face your fright.
open the door,
welcome the light.

If this card appears in a reading expect the unexpected! There is a trickster in your midst. Maybe it’s you? Not a mean trickster, but a true trickster; one who shifts your reality and helps you see things from a new perspective. Perhaps you’ve become complacent, or lazy, or overly self satisfied, and are no longer seeing the big picture because you’re too caught up in small details and worries. This WILL change soon so get ready to open your eyes wide and see the world in a whole new way.

In my own life I do my best to see negative, challenging experiences on a deeper level and I ask questions, such as, “What is the teaching in this? What is being mirrored back to me about myself? What changes need to happen now?”

Card 3: Jack Rabbit (Elfin Ally Oracle)

Keyword: Noble
Meaning: Romance is in the air; succumb to it, if you dare.
Reversed: A missed opportunity is not worth tears.

Affirmation: My love flowers only for one.
Astrology: Mercury, Moon, Taurus, Venus, Saturn
Element: Air, Earth, Water

Medicine: Your magic is untamed, tricksy and loving, so take care in choosing the ONE.

Lore: This was HER heart on the line, and it hurt. So she called upon Jack Rabbit, her ally, to make it better. He advised speed, but it was time that she needed instead. So, into the pink she leapt where sweetness dreamed and magic slept.

She has tasted the sweetness of love flowering and just as quickly seen it fade away. As Elf Princess she had a higher, deeper path to follow and it was not with her Beloved Rose. Luckily, she had Jack Rabbit as her ally and he reminded her daily, that love would wait for she was a Priestess-to-be and happily pleasure and great passion was her birthright.
