Harvesting Love - New Moon Ritual

Harvesting Love - New Moon Ritual

This new moon is all about harvesting love. The new moon also happens to fall on a day when Venus and the sun meet which is called a Venus Star Point. Which means this new moon is a great new moon to think about what your dream is for the next 8 years of your life when it comes to love and home. What does this look like. What will make your heart and spirit sing?
Spend some time this new moon thinking about what you have learned over the summer. What fears have come up? What painful situations have surfaced that need to be cleared out?

What do you deeply desire?

We have come out of the loss and struggle of the summer. The amount of energy required this summer has been exhausting! It’s now time to start harvesting these seeds we have planted. Let’s keep working on the vision. Think of the next few new moon rituals like pruning the new growth of your vision. How can you get even more clear on your vision? How can you align more closely with what your heart truly wants.

Friday night I suggest you wear something that makes you feel lovely, sexy or feeds your heart. You should have a meal that feeds your soul. You should light as many candles as you can because this new moon is all about fire. And you should write about what your vision for love looks like in your life over the next 8 years.

Does this vision mean you will be married? Single? Having a baby? Finally an empty nester? Does this vision mean you will be working for yourself? Does it mean you will be adopting new fur babies?

The point is, how can you create a life you truly LOVE?

Write two copies of your list and save one. Then burn one and watch the smoke go up into the air.
You are releasing.

There has been so much loss and pressure this summer. We all need to release. Release and trust that the universe has provided the nutrients needed to grow our intentions and that harvest season is upon us.

Venus Has Been Whispering To You. Have You Been Listening?

Venus has been coming to me the last two weeks and whispering lessons into my ear.  These have been uncomfortable and life changing.  Nothing dramatic or scary.  But they are big changes.   Venus has been gentle is showing me where I need to change.  Where my heart wants to grow and where I need to let go of my old story.  I love her for this.

On the eve of the new moon I slept for two hours.  But instead of being mad or grumpy at the lack of sleep, I am grateful.   Grateful for my peaceful home where I can listen to trains at night.   Grateful to feel the breeze coming up from the waterway between the lake and the sound.  Grateful for a large deck with a new canopy that allows me to be outside in a cozy space that I am building.  Grateful for a cold bath at 4 am with magical oils to soothe me.

This is where I honor Venus for whispering these lessons to me.  She has shown me lovingly where I can and need to change and that it is safe to make these changes.  It is safe to let go of the old and take that leap of faith.  I am so grateful that I can finally hear these messages and am ready to be guided by them.

I am also in full swing of meeting with my clients again.  It feels so good to be out of vacation mode and up and running in coaching mode.  I love all the changes my clients are working on.  I love the stories and images they send me.  And I love the fact we are not just connecting as people but we are connecting on a soul and energetic level. It makes my heart so very happy. I am learning as much from them as they are learning from me.

 

New Moon This Week and Radical Self Love

Can you feel it?

I definitely can feel the energy shift.  There are a lot of love and yummy feelings going on.  I am returning to magic and clearing my mind.  Things are opening up.

But there is also a side of reality setting in.  I have made big changes lately and this requires really letting go of things in my life that are no longer working.  And be letting go it means.  I must change and do the work.
Ugh.
Not my favorite thing but it's necessary.

Anything that feels uncomfortable has to leave.  I now realize that these situations are not going to change so I must step away.   This covers work, family, friends, lovers, money.   EVERYTHING is up for change.

So I am spending the next few days writing, reflecting and making lists of what I want to call in for my new life.  I can see it so clearly.

It's been a while since I did magic. So I am excited to be back in the swing of things.

This weekend  I spent  Friday night on a date with myself and Gala Darling's new book - Radical Self Love.   I am so glad I did.   The energy/astrology stuff is a little wonky for everyone right now and this book has help me make a couple of shifts that I have been needing.
Actually, it caused some MAJOR shifts for me. It was just what I needed.
I highly recommend it.  It is a great guide into magical life changing work. And it has content that even a seasoned magic worker needs to read.  It will be on my shelf for a long time.time.

That Inbetween Time

I am in that inbetween time when your big dream starts to manifest but it is not fully formed.   That time when you suddenly feel very uncomfortable to in your old life but you are not ready for the new one.   That place where you are just hanging out and waiting.

This is my least favorite place!

I have a dream.  It is coming but not until September.   But suddenly my Seattle life does not feel comfortable anymore.   I am tired of my job.  I am tired of the traffic.  And I am tired of watching my pretty little city turn into a California sister city.   I know this feeling.  This is the feeling I get when life is about to move me in a very big and different direction.
It's exciting but frustrating that I can't do it now!

This is where I get the whole summer to work on my shadow and faith.   I know the right thing will happen.  I know there is a reason why I am not leaving tomorrow.   I know this move makes me scared in a lot of ways.   I just want to rip the band-aid off instead of feeling these emotions.

And I am sad.   I love my life in Seattle.  I love my friends and my community.  There is an excitment here that I won't get anywhere else.  But this oppurnity is too good for me to pass up.  And it will take my company to the next 3 levels in a skip vs.  staying in Seattle and watching my company grow slowly.   So I am taking that leap of faith and jumping in.

But this in between time is hard!

If Merlin Lived In Modern Times

I truly believe if Merlin lived in modern times he would work a normal 9 to 5 day job.   He would travel between the two worlds seamlessly.  He might even live in the suburbs.  He would infuse magic in everything he did but he would also realize that in order to live he needs to live with a foot in each world.   He would also do his work quietly.  He would change lives with everything he did but he would not make a show of it because at this point magic has such a odd place in our society.   We need to normalize it.  It isn't about material objects or success.  Magic is about inviting our spirits back into our lives and living in divine harmony.  It's about working with energy to experience what it is to be living at this time. It's about being human and magical all at once.

This is what I have been learning lately.   How to be magical while living a totally normal life.   I don't need to drop out of society.  I don't need to be famous.  What I need to do is to help people return to themselves and integrate magic back into their lives on a daily basis.  To let go of their old stories and to invite their spirit back in because our spirit is what we are all craving and missing.   And our spirit is what connects us to magic.

I am so in love with my spirit.  She has come back fully in the last few months and she is not leaving.  I have been spending my time getting to know her so that she will stay.  She is beautiful and fun and happy.   So happy!

Don't be scared

Don't be scared.   This is my lesson for today.   I have been presented with a possible giant business offer/partnership that would change my company and my life.
And what do I feel?
Gratitude, excitement and fear.   Yep.  FEAR! 

My shadow is coming out.  Why would I fear this?  
I am so used to things not working out.  I am so used to my magic not working.  I am used to the struggle.

But this story is changing.   I am changing.  My magic has come back more powerful than ever.  I have done the hard work to allow good luck to be the normal thing.  I feel like I past the test of my dark night of the soul!  It was 14 years of darkness.  But I came out into the light.

I have so much writing to do around this today.  I just want to say that the universe is truly magical.  

Pure magic.

Welcome

A clean slate.  A fresh start.

My life's purpose.

A few months ago I was gifted by the Universe with insight into what I know is my life's purpose.  I thought I would take it slow to introduce it to the world but in the last few weeks the Universe has made it know that it's time for me to go public.

So here I am.  Here I stand ready to start this new journey.  Ready to move forward and announce to the world that I live a very magical life and I want to help you live one as well.
The beautiful thing about magic is that it is firmly rooted in the practical and everyday normalities.  In our current times, there is no ways someone like Merlin could survive.  Our society would never allow that.  But if we slow down, if we center ourselves and start to create room in our lives for rituals and magic. If we do the work that we need to do to assist the Universe in co-creating, that's where the magic happens.  That's when we suddenly realize that magic does exist in our lives. We just have to invite it in and make room for it.

I made room for magic and my life will never be the same.
