Good morning folks!  This week's forecast is taken from Seven Farmer's Earth Magic deck.  the beginning of the week, I pulled the card Stone People: Vigilance.  The guides are wanting you to know that the beginning of the week is a time to stand in your own grace.  By grace we mean non-combative and in alignment with spirit. The attention in the card is immediately drawn to the strength of the stone, but is softened by the element of water.  The  state of the water is very still.  So take a deep cleansing breath and soften your focus.  Now is not the time to engage actively in debate or conflict, but to instead draw upon your resources and stand quietly and unmoving in your own truth.  The middle of the week brings in the card Dance: Celebration.  "And David Danced Before the Lord." Samuel 6:14.  This is a time to connect deeply and with the sacred movement to celebrate life.  Move in unmitigated joy.  Laugh while you move.  Be spontaneous. While you are at it, have a banana split for supper Wednesday.  This is about feeling alive.  Do nothing but that which makes you completely and utterly happy.  Your heart will thank you for it!  For the end of the week, I pulled Music: Harmony.  This is a call to rearrange your surroundings a little during the weekend. Dust, clean and sage.  Often, stagnancy in our life is a reflection of stuck energy.  By cleaning our home and clearing the energy, we are creating a sense of balance all around.  Put a few clear quartz crystals in the four directions of your home.  This will provide continuous cleansing in charge throughout the new week.  Have a wonderful week every one :)

Good Evening folks, hope you had a fabulous Monday!  Today's weekly reading is taken from Doreen Virtues Ascended Masters Oracle Cards.  The Beginning of The week I pulled the card Hina: Freedom.  This card is about connecting with your feminine energy (Yes, that means YOU too Men! )  Soften yourself up a bit and mind your words.  It seems as if you might be a little harsh the beginning of the week, and you don't want to face the consequences of rash words.  Remember, words have power! 

Midweek, We have the card Health and Healing: Hilarion.  With this card, Spirit is making reference to yourself.  Midweek is time to be a little softer to yourself and give some love to your heart chakra. Crystal people, Emerald would be a good stone for you to work with right now.  Also eat deep green heart chakra colored foods-Spinach and Kale will boost your energy and help you get over that hurdle of midweek.  Summing it up, do something good for YOU midweek!  Take a walk or give yourself a pat on the back...you deserve it!

We bring the weeks end with Lakshmi: Flow of Prosperity.  Remember folks, work mirrors life.  This is about being connected to Spirit during your off time so you can have the ongoing connection during your work hours.  If you are off balance and not connected at home, you will feel it at work.  Want to increase your job satisfaction?  Start with a good look in the mirror :-)

Remember to, if we are disconnected, the flow of abundance will slow.  So relax and connect in the best way you know how, and your life will thank you for it!

Hope you have a wonderful and joy-filled week!

Namaste

First I want to thank all of you for you're thoughts, prayers and healing energy for my friend.  She pulled through surgery with flying colors! 

This week's draw is from The Goddess Oracle.  I truly love this oracle and it carries a very profound energy :-) 

Monday-Hecate.  LOL.  I love this deck, but I didn't want to pull a darker card for all of you.

 Spirit doesn't always give us what we want, Spirit gives us what we need!  Hecate is said to have traveled to the underworld to retrieve Persephone for Demeter.  I think I would like to have a Grandmother as bold as Hecate on my side and all of you would do well to honor the wisdom she offers here.  Hecate stands under the New Moon to invite you to see your shadow self with open eyes.  Your  indecision is not serving you.  It's time to do some shadow work and look at yourself pragmatically.  By pragmatic, I mean without judgement.  Shadow Self does not respond to judgement and avoidance.  That will only stir her up.  Look into her eyes with compassion.  There is a reason she is there and connecting with her will help you get to the root of you indecisiveness, allowing you to reach a decision and move forward.   

Hestia joins us midweek.  Hestia wants you to attend to your home.  This is a connection to loved ones clamoring for your attention.  The last few weeks have been filled with much soul work and it's time to give others the attention they need.  For people with dogs, this is very important as I have a clear vision of some chewed up items.  Attend to needs to avoid chaos!  Midweek calls us to bake (or buy) some cookies and enjoy some family time.  If you live alone, then rent a favorite movie for yourself.  It's time to defuse in an enjoyable way.

And the  card for the weekend is Maya: Illusion.  This is a card of perspective. All that seems so important now, really isn't.  Allow yourself some much needed freedom away from stress.  This earth ship ride isn't about a perfect house-literally and figuratively.  It's about the ride.  We are here to learn and experience.  There is so much more than the here and now!  It's time to get out of the box and live it! I'm sure that you are asking me the question I hear most: "Well what is It all about!?!"  See the pink in the picture?  Start with your heart and the rest will follow.

I hope you have a wonderful, Love filled week!  It will be an enlightening one, I know :)

I find myself writing in the wee hours of the morning today!  As I have to work later, then head over to my good friends house, I will be very busy!  There is not much in my heart today, but perhaps a small request. Today, the Shaman requests something of you.  As I write this, a dear friend of mine is preparing for surgery to have a double mastectomy.  Like her entire experience with cancer, she gives the mastectomy the same consideration.  "It is what it is."  She has moved through this entire process with a grace that is unmatched.  So, this morning there is little on my heart but my love for her-a fellow spiritual warrior, a sister, a friend. Today I ask that you do what you do....say a prayer, light a candle, send healing, or pick up your drum with me.  But I don't want you to stop there.  No, that's not what my friend would want!  Let the love you create take action and move into the far corners of the earth, finding the hearts of those in need.  Today, let's remember my fellow healer by sending her our love and healing and by allowing this action to spread like wildfire to all those in need.  It's the shamanic way <3

Good evening folks!  I am fresh off an evening of drumming under the cottonwood tree.  What a lovely feeling connecting like this. I am having problems uploading the pictures right now, but I will try later.  I can always update:)

This week's reading is from Higher Intuitions Oracle

We start out the week with The Horse-Freedom.  This card speaks of the need to move forward and move beyond the boundaries of the every day. It's in the little things, my friends....The tranquil sunset, the cool morning on the way to your car.  Stretch your limits this week and look beyond the ordinary the beginning of the week.  You might be surprised what you find when align your views.  The drudgery of everyday life always contains the unexpected.  The Joy is in finding it.  

The midweek card is The Butterfly-Build Your Wings.  It bears noting that the specific butterfly pictured is the Monarch Butterfly.  When I think of Monarchs, I think of the great migration.  This card signifies a change taking place or a moving forward.  Where are you migrating to? Ar you making progress or are you stagnant.  What can you release so that you can move forward?  Midweek is a time of transformation and a time of travel.  It would be a good time to get that journal out and motivate yourself to spend some times noting your thoughts and feelings.   As a caterpillar, the monarch goes inside a cocoon and away from the eyes of the outside world, makes it's transformation. 

The end of the week brings us the Hedgehog-Let it Be.  Time to let go of any worry, as this does not serve you. Worrying about how the bills are paid is not going to help your situation.  The time is now to place your faith in spirit and to know that it is going to  work out.  take note of the pink lotus flower in the foreground of the photo.  This is telling me two things about my readers, first there is a continuing opening that is motivated by the middle of the week.  The lotus symbolizes to me a beautiful connection to spirit and an opening of doors.  If you are doing your release work, good things will follow.  The stagnancy that you have been experiencing will soon fade and the result will be joyful connection.  Also, the pink flower is very pronounced.  Pink is a heart chakra color.  Grab yourself some rose quartz and meditate with it.  Your heart chakra will thank you for it and the answers will flow.

Yesterday it was the unicorn; today's ally is the breathtaking dolphin.  There is a wisdom to Dolphin, a  mystery that is found in the depths of the ocean.  Dolphin is ready to share that magic, if only you ask. Feeling the need to go deeper? Dolphin will take you there. dolphin wants to to connect to the music of your soul as you discover your authentic self.  Dolphin is the master of breath, and is a good power animal for those with asthma or anxiety issues.  The image of a dolphin breaking water is a perfec to help break stagnant solar plexus issues. So go and dance with dolphin and discover a freer, energized you!

It was a very busy week and I didn't make time to post my weekly reading. Shame on me!  I love that this card came out of an angel deck and it's a power animal.  It ties in nicely with another animal I will share with you at a later point.  Unicorn is a lovely power animal who reminds us to connect with our magical self.  This weekend it is suggested that you do two things: first and foremost, we have a continuing pattern of the inner child work that we discussed two weeks ago.  Now that you have begun the work, it's time to take that inner child to the park.  Notice the magic around you!  In my yard, my zinnias bloom a beautiful violet hue!  I bet there are fairies about :-)  Secondly, this is the time to move forward with any ventures you have been working on!  although it seems an uphill battle, don't give up! Procrastination is not your friend. BTW, young men who are going to pop the question, the timing appears to be right!  This is the go ahead for you. (I feel as if this will resonate with someone reading this)  Have a great weekend of sunshine and joy my friends.

The modern day shaman faces a conundrum unique to our ancestors who walked before.  The need to have a day to day income and to make a balance to pay the bills. We have the same need as our mothers and fathers before us to go out into nature, connect with our guides and learn.  We must spend our time studying and working in spirit.  The village healer in the days long ago was cared for by society, or paid in chickens :-) In this day, we have the added stress of producing income.  The green kind.  The kind that pays the electric bill and puts braces on our children's teeth.  We are faced with the desire to live in a cabin, but the truth is we must survive in our society.

The result?  Many of us take day jobs.  Sure we accept money for our services, and we dream of spending each day in service to others, not having to go in and live the grind of society.  Truth be told, we signed up for this walk and it's challenges.  How do we do this?  We embrace the lessons we came here to do.  

I have become clever and determined.  I find the shamanic walk in the everyday life.  I do ceremony at 12:30 in the morning after a  full eight hour shift at my day job.  I light the sacred candle at the midnight hour...literally!  I drum whenever I have five minutes too pick up my drum and sound it.  I drink my coffee in the early morning, outside.  In doing this, I feel all that is around. I hear the birds, I great cardinal and crow.  Each Sunday, I wake up like a child out of recess...I shower, and rush to the nearest park where I walk among my tree brothers and hear the call of hawk. 

The walk of the shaman is a blessing and a challenge.  I have learned friends, never to let go to my heart's calling.  I work and pay bills, take clients on a moment's notice, and drum on!  That is what I chose, and that's how I roll.  My friends, today I would like to challenge you to take five minutes and devote yourself to spirit.  When you walk outside, don't rush to your car with your nose in the phone.  Instead, look up to the sky and thank great creator for the beauty of the sun on your face.  listen to the son of the robin.  If you begin to make a practice of hearing the world around and seeing with open eyes, you will open yourself to new dimensions!  Modern day shamanism does not mean becoming an armchair shaman!  Feel life to the fullest, your heart will thank you for it.

I found this when I was cleaning out my desk, No date or name attached.  It was a message from the Record Keepers. Sometimes words meant for one are meant for many.  I would also like you to take note of the British spelling of" moulded."  I am American and would have spelled it molded. These, my friends, are not my words and I take no credit.

"Sweet Child of mine, know that your way on this divine journey is simply the best way for you.  You know your path and it is, my child never simply point A to Point B, but a series of adventures and calamities moulded and planned exclusively for You! Enjoy it, it's yours!"

If you would like to schedule an appointment with your Record Keepers, feel free to contact me anytime!  Have a beautiful, adventure adventure filled day!

Good Monday night, Tuesday morning!  I am late with the post on this weeks energy!  These cards are based on water colors by the mother of my friend Jenny Abell of Earthstone Treasures. Well folks, it looks as if last weeks inner-child work is continuing its momentum! Your job for the week is to continue the work on finding your new balance.  With all the hard work, you may be finding the need to re-adjust yourself.  Looks like you got a little bumpy start to the week, huh?  Cut yourself shaving on Monday morning? Late for class or work because you couldn't find your keys? Never fear, now is the time to center yourself!  By all means, if you have a drum, pick up your drum and sound it!  If  you do yoga, then do yoga! Now is the time to connect.  None of the above?  My clients will know the next preach!  Take of your shoes and get your feet in the dirt.  When you feel the rhythm of the heartbeat of your mother, you will move right back into sync.  

If you do your home work, midweek is going to go easier for you.  Time to take your mind of things and treat yourself to a cup of tea (or cups of coffee if you are a shaman)  midweek finds us in the spark of creativity.  Give your solar plexus a boost by getting out in the sun and you will find the solution to that problem that has been nagging you the past two weeks.  Writers write, painters paint because the the creative juices are flowing! 

Which brings us to the final leg of the week.  All this energy is going to create momentum for more growth!  Get rid of what no longer serves you!  That includes that jumpsuit from 1985!  It just doesn't suit your needs any more!  Take a new route to work or try a new lipstick.  This card is about implementing the growth from the past too weeks.  You are a bright being, so shine your light.  Keep out of the rut by trying something new!  Your life is moving ever forward :-)
