Light is quickening* The seeds that were planted on Winter Solstice are beginning to sprout.&amp;nbsp;Outside my window&amp;nbsp;everything is&amp;nbsp;still covered with snow, &amp;nbsp;the ground, the trees, the rooftops.&amp;nbsp;But today, the 2nd of February&amp;nbsp;is the midway between the solstice and the gifts of Ostara, so the promise of spring is around the corner. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Today we light a candle for the Celtic Goddess Brigit, the Triple Fire Goddess. Brigit's three aspects are: Fire of Inspiration as patroness of poetry, Fire of the Hearth, as patroness of healing and  fertility, and Fire of the Forge, as patroness of smithcraft and  martial arts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;She has many sides and faces to her, but she is always associated with fire, and to me that also means courage, and the strength to carry on. In the Northern hemisphere we are starting to feel&amp;nbsp;the heavy burden of a long winter, thankful for all the lessons, &amp;nbsp;but longing for more light and lightness in Life. &amp;nbsp;Brigit gives us that extra spark to keep on, not to fall back and give up. She is the bringer of&amp;nbsp;hope*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Today I dedicated my candle prayer to Brigit, to ANU the Mother of Goddesses and to&amp;nbsp;Mother Mary&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Live well and be Happy*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;*LOVE*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7160418664381676193-5636580106524292933?l=soleysjourney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://soleysjourney.blogspot.com/feeds/5636580106524292933/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7160418664381676193&amp;postID=5636580106524292933' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7160418664381676193/posts/default/5636580106524292933'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7160418664381676193/posts/default/5636580106524292933'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://soleysjourney.blogspot.com/2012/02/brigits-day-candlemas-2nd-of-february.html' title='* Brigit&apos;s Day ~ Candlemas, the 2nd of February*'/><author><name>* Sóley *</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10853905325110237530</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mHaH9rxz_Cg/TqwcRZFUgsI/AAAAAAAAAQg/R3GQRl9RPhE/s220/soley.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZBEduH6Pr5g/Tyr0k6rRyHI/AAAAAAAAAZI/vIFaoDLbg1E/s72-c/Brigit.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7160418664381676193.post-2088251422741804436</id><published>2012-01-24T19:34:00.000Z</published><updated>2012-01-24T19:34:34.979Z</updated><title type='text'>*Yesterday's Magic*</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kyf_BpZbU8k/Tx8HyqwMtqI/AAAAAAAAAY8/TDN4xVWAnh0/s1600/DSCN2207.JPG"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kyf_BpZbU8k/Tx8HyqwMtqI/AAAAAAAAAY8/TDN4xVWAnh0/s320/DSCN2207.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'&gt;&lt;a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'&gt;&lt;img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7160418664381676193-2088251422741804436?l=soleysjourney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://soleysjourney.blogspot.com/feeds/2088251422741804436/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7160418664381676193&amp;postID=2088251422741804436' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7160418664381676193/posts/default/2088251422741804436'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7160418664381676193/posts/default/2088251422741804436'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://soleysjourney.blogspot.com/2012/01/yesterdays-magic.html' title='*Yesterday&apos;s Magic*'/><author><name>* Sóley *</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10853905325110237530</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mHaH9rxz_Cg/TqwcRZFUgsI/AAAAAAAAAQg/R3GQRl9RPhE/s220/soley.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kyf_BpZbU8k/Tx8HyqwMtqI/AAAAAAAAAY8/TDN4xVWAnh0/s72-c/DSCN2207.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7160418664381676193.post-4246988884815011115</id><published>2012-01-23T15:36:00.004Z</published><updated>2012-01-23T21:23:18.182Z</updated><title type='text'>~ New Moon &amp; the return of the Water Dragon ~</title><content type='html'>I'm preparing for my New Moon ceremony tonight!

WOW! Love it. It gets&amp;nbsp;me all excited.&amp;nbsp;Water and Dragon, power, good luck and good fortune, growth, prosperity, FLOW.&amp;nbsp;Robbyne&amp;nbsp;inspired me to&amp;nbsp;celebrate today, so&amp;nbsp;today has been all about preparing&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;tuning into&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;auspicious year ahead.&amp;nbsp;For a ritual, she&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;suggested a ceremony where you write your intentions on a paper, fold it towards you, signaling your receptivity, put it in a red envelope and under a candle, red preferably, but it is the intention that matters. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Before you write your intentions, you prepare your own sacred space, bring in all the elements, the candle for Fire, Water in a bowl or a glass, incence or a feather like I do for Air, and flower or stone to honor Earth. Aferwards I'm going to the Ocean to connect&amp;nbsp;with the New Moon,&amp;nbsp;the sacred water element.. and&amp;nbsp;greet the Water Dragon, to welcome&amp;nbsp;its energy into my life&amp;nbsp;Ahhhhhhhh... BEAUTY*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love this image I got&amp;nbsp;sent&amp;nbsp;from my beautiful friend, Grace. The Unity of Quan Yin and the Dragon, such pure strength and compassion. Support. Oneness. No slaying of dragons to portrait strength, but with compassion she is riding the dragon. They support eachother. It is symbolic for&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;wisdom of having your 'demons' serve you, not threaten you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish you all magnificent and transformational changes* Love, Compassion and Lots of Laughter*&lt;br /&gt;Sóley&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The 'Thirteenth' as we call it in Iceland, has as long as I remember been celebrated with bonfires, and parades with santa clauses and trolls singing and dancing. Around the fires the songs of elves travelling in the light of the Moon are sung and people light their last fireworks from New Year‘s Eve! Tonight is namely the night when the elves and the hidden people move between locations, so there is always the chance of us and them crossing paths on this magical eve! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9EW1h-Dn-v8/TwdvxF8Pu8I/AAAAAAAAAYE/VJZAPkCiNHM/s1600/DSCN2021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9EW1h-Dn-v8/TwdvxF8Pu8I/AAAAAAAAAYE/VJZAPkCiNHM/s320/DSCN2021.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zn_b1-1A7tI/Twdt3BPA6HI/AAAAAAAAAX0/xyNLHZagVWc/s1600/DSCN2033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zn_b1-1A7tI/Twdt3BPA6HI/AAAAAAAAAX0/xyNLHZagVWc/s1600/DSCN2033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zn_b1-1A7tI/Twdt3BPA6HI/AAAAAAAAAX0/xyNLHZagVWc/s320/DSCN2033.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IS" style="mso-ansi-language: IS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;The moon outside my kitchen window was immense tonight, with many colorful circles around it, breathtakingly beautiful. I tried to capture the magic of it on my camera, it&amp;nbsp;worked&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;ok, but with the naked eye it was of course much bigger and I could see&amp;nbsp;all the&amp;nbsp;valleys and the shadows so clearly, and then so&amp;nbsp;majestically&amp;nbsp;embraced by these multicolored&amp;nbsp;'halos'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IS" style="mso-ansi-language: IS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;I remember my parents making elfmasks for my sister and I. They were pretty, glittery pretty. I wish I had a photo to post, but just imagine paper eye-masks, covered with foil,&amp;nbsp;with lots of lined up colored paliettes that made the eyebrows. The&amp;nbsp;wholes for the eyes were exceptionally well cut, almond shaped and&amp;nbsp;the tops of the masks were then cut in the shape of flames, very fine&amp;nbsp;indeed. I loved wearing mine, it just made the whole experience of this particular eve of the 'Thirteenth' a very special one!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="IS" style="mso-ansi-language: IS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IS" style="mso-ansi-language: IS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Below are three famous elf songs sung on New Year's Eve and on&amp;nbsp;the 'Thirteenth' in Iceland.

Is it really here? Has this long awaited year of 2012 arrived? It is a bit too much almost. Feel like laughing. So strange really. For so many years we have been hearing many things about what will happen in 2012, how the world will change in 2012, so many prophecies, meanings, interpretations and so much wisdom has been poured into our minds and hearts about this famous year. What will happen? Who knows? Well, I have a lot of suggestions, some of them I think are the right answers, maybe! Exactly, I don't have a clue. But what I do know is that some-thing, some-vibe, some peaceful energy, is on the horizon. I'm a believer, I believe that we can live in Harmony and Joy, I feel, I sense, and most importantly, I am. I am, and I am Light, maybe that's enough, maybe that reflects the beauty of simplicity, to just&amp;nbsp;sense and experience&amp;nbsp;that. Nothing more is essential. At least for the time being that’s my truth, I might&amp;nbsp;make new discoveries tomorrow ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ByefzZwk0wY/TwC2pb4tZHI/AAAAAAAAAW8/MjUFHNXBdnM/s1600/Joy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ByefzZwk0wY/TwC2pb4tZHI/AAAAAAAAAW8/MjUFHNXBdnM/s320/Joy.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what today has brought me; to be Light, to be all Light means, not heavy, light in spirit, laugh, enjoy life, be energy, radiate, be powerful, be a star. Twinkle! Be the flame who can easily light another flame without becoming smaller or even seize to exist. Flame who sparks another person's flame. Flame, a torch who lights up the mundane life so many of us get wrapped in. Colourful, like the flame. Alive. And warm, it’s good to be a warm character. It's rewarding to us and to all around us. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The video beneath is from Norway, but it reminds me of my Mother Iceland, it could be from Iceland actually, and the Northern Lights... ohhh so beautiful. And Eivør's voice, enchanting, she is from the Farao Islands, but sings in many languages. Here is 'Den Liuse Dag', reminding us of the magic of New Years. I belive that from now until the 6th of January is&amp;nbsp;a time when the veils between worlds is thin. On 'Threttándinn' or The Thirteenth (day of Christmas) we in Iceland celebrate the end of the holiday season, the official last day of Christmas,&amp;nbsp;with bonfires and singing and the evening and night is dedicated to elves and other beings hidden to the naked eye. We open the doors to new adventures*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy and joyous&amp;nbsp;2012 to all*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6UF6mLsjCYg" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7160418664381676193-4515626001470048447?l=soleysjourney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://soleysjourney.blogspot.com/feeds/4515626001470048447/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7160418664381676193&amp;postID=4515626001470048447' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7160418664381676193/posts/default/4515626001470048447'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7160418664381676193/posts/default/4515626001470048447'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://soleysjourney.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-years-day-of-joy.html' title='*New Years Day of Joy*'/><author><name>* Sóley *</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10853905325110237530</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mHaH9rxz_Cg/TqwcRZFUgsI/AAAAAAAAAQg/R3GQRl9RPhE/s220/soley.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ByefzZwk0wY/TwC2pb4tZHI/AAAAAAAAAW8/MjUFHNXBdnM/s72-c/Joy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7160418664381676193.post-7187985948866495995</id><published>2011-12-10T11:41:00.001Z</published><updated>2011-12-10T11:41:57.271Z</updated><title type='text'>*Long Nights Full Moon*</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Beautiful people, beautiful life. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;I love my bedroom window. I don‘t have an ocean view, seeing the sun rise and set each day. I can’t see any snow covered mountain tops and there is no green forest calling my name, alluring me to come and play with the forest fairies and enchanted beings. But I can see the sky!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;This morning I woke up with this soothing yellow, pinkish light filling the room with calmness and softness. It was so beautiful. I turned around in bed, with my head where my feet usually are, stacked pillows, cuddled my duvet and just watched&amp;nbsp;the sky&amp;nbsp;for a bit. The clouds were moving and I soon saw the sky. It was so crisp and ice blue, totally radiant. Like the inside of an iceberg. Then it started snowing. I think I have never seen snow fall down as slowly, I could almost talk to each individual snow flake. So Sacred.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;In memory this will be the morning of the last Full Moon of 2011.

Coming from Iceland I know long nights, and yes, now is the time where we almost desperately yearn for more light. But, there is magic in the darkness. Magic that gives birth to sacredness each morning of our lives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Happy Full Moon, Long Nights Moon and Full Moon in Sagittarius.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Ostara greetings*&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ugoz2E3jQdg/TuNFKRKvlCI/AAAAAAAAAS8/tQS7q_RzjqQ/s1600/nov-full-moon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ugoz2E3jQdg/TuNFKRKvlCI/AAAAAAAAAS8/tQS7q_RzjqQ/s320/nov-full-moon.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7160418664381676193-7187985948866495995?l=soleysjourney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://soleysjourney.blogspot.com/feeds/7187985948866495995/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7160418664381676193&amp;postID=7187985948866495995' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7160418664381676193/posts/default/7187985948866495995'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7160418664381676193/posts/default/7187985948866495995'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://soleysjourney.blogspot.com/2011/12/beautiful-people-beautiful-life.html' title='*Long Nights Full Moon*'/><author><name>* Sóley *</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10853905325110237530</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mHaH9rxz_Cg/TqwcRZFUgsI/AAAAAAAAAQg/R3GQRl9RPhE/s220/soley.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ugoz2E3jQdg/TuNFKRKvlCI/AAAAAAAAAS8/tQS7q_RzjqQ/s72-c/nov-full-moon.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7160418664381676193.post-6745306824138617271</id><published>2011-11-30T12:10:00.001Z</published><updated>2011-11-30T12:13:11.212Z</updated><title type='text'>.. a wish come true*</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;The creators of this little enchanted video, husband and wife Silas Toball and Angi Sullis, invite you to&amp;nbsp;a true&amp;nbsp;world of Wonderlands, Fairytales&amp;nbsp;and Stardust at their Duirwaigh Studios.

This time I want to&amp;nbsp;enjoy the candle lights, the music&amp;nbsp;and the sweet&amp;nbsp;scent of newly baked goodies. I want to celebrate the sacredness of the Winter Solstice on the 22nd, the rebirth of Light,&amp;nbsp;so&amp;nbsp;graciously supported by the Lunar Cycle's New Moon on Christmas Eve the 24th.

Every night she would&amp;nbsp;ask the Divine to "please blow the dust away". The dust 'on top' of the&amp;nbsp;Light in the heart that every human being was born with. Preventing it from shining its brightest. I think this is so beautiful and so sincere! With deep reverence and Love I reconnected with that little girl's pure heart and intention.

And I instantly thought of my mother's powerful, yet soft&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;vibrant paintings. Ever since I remember, mum has been connecting with Spirit and drawing, using her hands to touch something divine. Wow, what a blessing! They manifest, all these amazing energies come forth and manifest on a piece of paper, in beautiful colors and form. And ever since I remember she has talked of Oneness, how as a child she felt Oneness with Mother Nature, the animals, the planet, the&amp;nbsp;Universe.

How to have fun, and enjoy being in this heavy body of ours in this lifetime, in this frequency, and to sometimes do the not-so-good-for-you things without feeling like we have betrayed our spiritual side? We truly only hurt ourselves by feeling that way, and we know it,  we know we are all connected with Spirit, always. But I do feel a struggle, some kind of tension, conflict within many of us who are walking this path of enlightenment. Even up to the extent that ‘Ignorance is bliss’ comes to mind, and for a split second we almost think about how life could be so much easier if we would not have opened our eyes! Just like in the Matrix, that we wouldn’t have taken that darn ‘blue pill’ .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Let us then remember that with a pure heart and good intentions we can never be disconnected with our true Self, even though we sometimes want ‘things’ and we buy the cheaper milk though it’s not organic and we close our eyes and we buy hairspray! That just can’t be healthy for the environment! But hey, perhaps it’s OK, and not because we don’t have to be perfect, it’s OK because we ARE perfect. Each and everyone of us is on an individual path and it is all about making choices and to be conscious. Key word, Conscious!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c7YoXb2YpTc/TqwY6uN8YFI/AAAAAAAAAQU/AEVFGXFHbFM/s1600/kill_bill-10066.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c7YoXb2YpTc/TqwY6uN8YFI/AAAAAAAAAQU/AEVFGXFHbFM/s1600/kill_bill-10066.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c7YoXb2YpTc/TqwY6uN8YFI/AAAAAAAAAQU/AEVFGXFHbFM/s200/kill_bill-10066.jpg" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Now, one might ask, but honestly, where is the line? And when do we seriously cross it? Is it watching porn, getting drunk, using drugs, laugh at black humor and think Quentin Tarantino&amp;nbsp;is super cool?? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Again, the answer in my opinion&amp;nbsp;has&amp;nbsp;to be, that what matters is to be truly true to our own beliefs and to be conscious about where we are on our path. To BE aware. Always ask ourselves, “are my actions FOR THE GREATEST GOOD OF ALL CONCERNED?” Ask, where do things come from and how do the ecosystems of this world work? I believe it must be the golden middle way that is the best, and to honor eachother and Mother Earth. We are not less spiritual though we eat meat, or if we like watching bloody thrillers. But&amp;nbsp;perhaps&amp;nbsp;it's time to&amp;nbsp;ask ourselves, is this what I want? Does this make me feel good,&amp;nbsp; or bad? Why do I choose to smoke? Is it perhaps time to Stop? Am I bettering myself and am I benefiting the next seven generations with my actions? This is what all of us who are aware of the Shift are asking ourselves now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;There is no rule that says that if we want to become involved in spirituality then we have to give up this and that human habit, BUT, we do ask of ourselves to go about our actions with love in our hearts and live a life that is in resonance with our awareness, and to laugh and smile, dance and create. Be aware of The Dream Collage - what we dream awake makes reality*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;I'm pretty sure&amp;nbsp;that when we are ready to board the ship we will know what is best for us and all as a whole, and many of those heavier habits will just simply drop of with no effort*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;While I was writing this post my mind pondering on issues, my fingers went surfing the net, and without remembering the route to my landing page, I now have a better and clearer understanding of what I was writing about. Please allow me to finish with Osho’s qotes on Zorba the Buddha:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;A spiritual retreat with a bistro, tennis courts and a swimming pool?

The most revolutionary aspect of this proposal is "Zorba the Buddha."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;"My whole effort is to bring Zorba and Buddha closer and closer ― so close that both&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; can&lt;/span&gt; exist in one human being without any contradiction, as complementaries, helping each other, not fighting with each other.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;"My concept of the new man is that he will be Zorba the Greek, and he will also be Gautama the Buddha: Zorba the Buddha. He will be sensuous and spiritual, physical, utterly physical, in the body, in the senses, enjoying the body and all that the body makes possible, and still a great consciousness, a great witnessing will be there."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;"My Manifesto of Zen is that Zorba and Zen are not antagonistic to each other. The Zorba can melt into Zen, and only then will both be complete. The man who has lived outside has lived very superficially. And the man who does not know anything about the inner, knows nothing about the existential, about the eternal... The outer and the inner are part of one existence. I want Zorbas to be Buddhas and vice versa... In the completion of Zorba and Zen, a tremendous quality comes to your life: you relish every moment of the outside world, every flower of the outside world. And you relish simultaneously the inner freedom, the inner joy, the inner drunkenness. Humanity has lived in a divided way, and that has been a catastrophe. It is time for Zorba to start meditating, and it is time for the people who are meditators not to allow themselves to escape from the world... Only in completion is there bliss. Only in completion have you come home."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7160418664381676193-2463296442375093282?l=soleysjourney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://soleysjourney.blogspot.com/feeds/2463296442375093282/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7160418664381676193&amp;postID=2463296442375093282' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7160418664381676193/posts/default/2463296442375093282'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7160418664381676193/posts/default/2463296442375093282'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://soleysjourney.blogspot.com/2011/10/zorba-buddha.html' title='*Zorba the Buddha*'/><author><name>* Sóley *</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10853905325110237530</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mHaH9rxz_Cg/TqwcRZFUgsI/AAAAAAAAAQg/R3GQRl9RPhE/s220/soley.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c7YoXb2YpTc/TqwY6uN8YFI/AAAAAAAAAQU/AEVFGXFHbFM/s72-c/kill_bill-10066.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7160418664381676193.post-4879037872332944723</id><published>2011-08-17T21:54:00.002Z</published><updated>2011-08-17T21:54:35.820Z</updated><title type='text'>*LOVE*</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7160418664381676193-4879037872332944723?l=soleysjourney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://soleysjourney.blogspot.com/feeds/4879037872332944723/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7160418664381676193&amp;postID=4879037872332944723' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7160418664381676193/posts/default/4879037872332944723'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7160418664381676193/posts/default/4879037872332944723'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://soleysjourney.blogspot.com/2011/08/love.html' title='*LOVE*'/><author><name>* Sóley *</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10853905325110237530</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mHaH9rxz_Cg/TqwcRZFUgsI/AAAAAAAAAQg/R3GQRl9RPhE/s220/soley.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7160418664381676193.post-8991271480846917373</id><published>2011-03-21T20:29:00.005Z</published><updated>2011-03-21T20:43:49.788Z</updated><title type='text'>*SPRING EQUINOX*</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Can you feel the power of the spring equinox?

It was accompanied by another one, more earth toned in color. Today holds potent energy, lots of ones, I made a big decision and I feel a change within. I need to do more research and converse with my soul and then I want to write about this more thoroughly. There is change in the air, and I feel it is necessary for me to put it into words. There is so much I want to share.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The serpent holds many symbolic meanings, but the first one that came to me when I woke up was transformation. The ability to shed ones skin. A rebirth in a sense, because when I went to sleep yesterday I was facing a big question that I needed my Higher Self's guidance with.

I was sitting a meeting with a few of my fellow students. One of us had arranged for an office, very spacious yet warm and cozy. My place at the table was facing those big wide windows overlooking the Esja. A very strong mountain, though mild with its green slopes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;The sky started to become a bit redish, maybe a bit more purpleish and the colours flooded the room. I looked up and there she was, peeking at first, like she was a bit shy. I could only see half of her. It made me laugh and I was so pleased to see her. I had been feeling her energy growing stronger and stronger all day with my cycles so linked to hers, and there she showed herself, little by little. Almost like she was a bit scared of her own luminous grace. It didn't take long for her to fully embrace the sky with her presence. Beautiful as always, my sister Moon in her shamanic dress..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QvZscScrpkw/TP6jm2-Z2PI/AAAAAAAAAMI/ZP-rnYtPZvg/s1600/beaver-96.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="249" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QvZscScrpkw/TP6jm2-Z2PI/AAAAAAAAAMI/ZP-rnYtPZvg/s320/beaver-96.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;It's Beaver Moon. Let us honor our little friends who so humbly offered their hides to our ancestors. Their beautiful hides, both waterproof and warm. Native people reveared the beaver as a great Spirit animal that held big medicine. Beavers are the builders of their own life. Something we all strive to be. They are the doers in the animal kingdom, building homes for their families. If you'd look at their dams you'd find several entrances and exits. This is a lesson to us all, not to paint ourselves into corners. A doer is productive and knows that limitations cancel productivity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Mystic Familiar web site: As our friend brother bear, and sister squirrel are nestleling down in to the winter slumber, now is a perfect time to do the same. It becomes a time of quiet self reflection and internal peace. As the winter begins to set in, it becomes a time when we shall honor ourselves with meditation and silence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greetings from a sister, a Moon Cycle Goddess* Love to you all*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7160418664381676193-6345047215318772238?l=soleysjourney.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://soleysjourney.blogspot.com/feeds/6345047215318772238/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7160418664381676193&amp;postID=6345047215318772238' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7160418664381676193/posts/default/6345047215318772238'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7160418664381676193/posts/default/6345047215318772238'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://soleysjourney.blogspot.com/2010/11/so-viarsdottir.html' title='*FULL BEAVER MOON*  NOVEMBER 21st'/><author><name>* Sóley *</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10853905325110237530</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mHaH9rxz_Cg/TqwcRZFUgsI/AAAAAAAAAQg/R3GQRl9RPhE/s220/soley.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QvZscScrpkw/TP6nF-HWcjI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/C3n21iuJXG8/s72-c/moon-in-phases.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7160418664381676193.post-2874736248448793303</id><published>2010-10-27T22:15:00.001Z</published><updated>2010-12-07T21:11:21.931Z</updated><title type='text'>Post 1o1o1o post</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Wow, 2 years have past.. it's amazing, isn't it? It sure doesn't feel like a floating timezone anymore, now it just passes, time there is. It can be difficult to stay in the NOW when you've got deadlines and 'hand in dates' and it feels like time almost confines you, it keeps running away all the time.. hahaha.. must laugh at it, Time is what you make it to be. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Instead of promising 'tomorrows', that never arrive, at least not on this blog, it is probably most relieving for me and healing to just write.. I don't have to make updates.. for whom? me? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;So, thanks to my friend Solveig, who just started bloggin', &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.tofrakona.blogspot.com"&gt;www.tofrakona.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;, I found my blog again whilst commenting on her blog.. so .. this is good, good, goooood.. like Jim Carey would say it.. gooooood!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Time. I have loved how much I have noticed the seasons this year. It is proper to talk about it now, winter just started and not that far away in the future is the next winter solstice when the cycle starts again. This noticing the cycles of the seasons has connected me profoundly with nature, the sky, the weather. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QvZscScrpkw/TP6iPrjY5xI/AAAAAAAAAME/mItceGPCqI0/s1600/SPRINGGODDESS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="278" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QvZscScrpkw/TP6iPrjY5xI/AAAAAAAAAME/mItceGPCqI0/s320/SPRINGGODDESS.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I loved watching spring reviving everything this year, it was amazing. I rented a favorite of mine, The Secret Garden, a children's book from the library, where the coming of spring and summer is intertwined with the kindling of childhood joy and laughter for Mary Lennox, the main character. She was still just a girl, but had never experienced being truly happy and free, like children need to feel. It's wonderfully uplifting to read. Funny enough, whilst reading, the snow was still hammering the windows here in Iceland, but spring was in the air. You could just feel it, everywhere, in the hearts of the nation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I felt summer taking over from spring and than autumn taking over from summer, and now winter just began. Observing and feeling, sensing the cycles as much as I have been doing for the first time this year, is perhaps the reason for me syncing my cycles with the full moon cycle. For the second time now my bleeding has started on a full moon.

It was a fascinating read, we know how we women tend to sync our cycles with each other, friends or women in the same household. This is how it used to be for indigenous women, living in the same tribe, they all bled together. In some tribes it was custom that the women would go together, during this time, and honor the bleeding cycles, the cycles of the earth and the moon, honor the womb, Mother Earth. They would do ceremonies and and pass on wisdom from mother to daughter. The Bleeding Lodge was the heading of the article I am quoting from.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I feel how the moon has started to have mesmerizing influences on me, I love the moon! as simple as that.. hahaha.. Last full moon I got out of bed and went outside in my pajamas.. it was calling me. I couldn't see it out of the window, none of my windows, but I sensed the pulling effect so strongly, I just had to go out and see it, bathe in the light from it and be awinspired by it!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I put my boyfriend's big jacket over my pJ's and put a hat on and out I went, barefoot in my winterboots. It felt nice. WOW, it was beautiful, almost not a cloud in the sky, it was so perfect, and with colorful glow around that made it look even bigger. Last full moon I went outside and did a little ceremony at midnight. This time, such a not-a-coincidence occurred (thats what I call coincidences that are absolutely not such things, but definitely meant-to-be-moments) I was standing there gazing at the sky,stunned by and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;communicating with the powerful moon, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;the church bells started ringing, 12 times.

Leik við sandinn með tánum og baða mig í sjónum. Það er svo gott að finna sjávarfaðminn svona ferskan og mjúkan og svo ilmandi. Blómin brosa framan í mig fjólublá, gul og appelsínugul. Ég sveifla mér í trjárólunni sem var svo áberandi á myndinni og alltaf er ég með sjóndeildarhringinn fyrir framan mig. Hann minnir mig á það að ég er lifandi á jörðinni núna. Minnir mig á rythma lífsins, hjartslátt móður jarðar. 'Samverund' alls lífs, þess sem er í sjónum og á föstu landi. Hvernig sólin sígur og máninn tekur við, bæði svo fús til að gylla og silfra hafsflötinn, minnir mig á að við erum partur af sólkerfi og á hverju kvöldi stíga stjörnurnar fram og leika hlutverkið sitt, leika við ímyndunaraflið mitt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;"As above, So below"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;
