*Last Full Moon of the Year ~ 2013
Everything is calmer now. Sailing softly... I reach the shore. I tie the boat to a great big rock. This is it, this is Wisdom Rock. I'm here, at last.

* The Crone and the Cauldron*
... Searching for some files on my computer, I found reflections I wrote down 364 days ago. I'll post it now. These were reflections I never posted but were suppose to follow my Autumn post of 2012 - Read that one here
10th of November 2012
Continuing from my last post ...
We are still sailing the seas of the
West. The waters have been rough, calm, frisky... hopefully we are all still on
board.
Yes, no, I don’t know. What is it all about?
I suppose it’s good to pose questions! I have been thinking about a lot of
things the past few weeks…
Here I sit alone in my parents’ home on a
Saturday, surrounded by candles, sipping hot coco and enjoying rolled up
pancakes from grandma, warm from the oven ‘cause I like them a bit crispy on
top. The only artificial light is from the lap top screen. And of course I’m
not alone; my cuddly Border collie, slash Icelandic fluffy monster is here with
me. She is sleeping by my feet to the
sound of the wind that has softly found its way through the chimney. How can
one but not get a bit reflective?
We have only just passed Halloween, the All
Hallows Evening, or All Saints Eve. In many cultures around the world, now is a
time of celebration and honoring. There are a lot of different themes to these
celebration activities, and they differ a lot between nations and religions. To
a great extent these celebrations derive from similar set of beliefs, which over
time, as the original source branched out, have taken on their own identities. One
key aspect still remains, at least here in the Northern Hemisphere, and that’s
darkness. We have reached winter. We celebrate the return into the void. Mother
Earth rests, reserves her energies.
As I’m into all things Goddess, I’m
fascinated about the role of women in old lore, myths and stories from the past
(and of the future!) I’m a story teller & a visionary, so it suits me fine.
I love to follow the seasons and feel the energy change as different Goddesses
enter the world stage, at their appointed hour. Now as we are in darkness, we
are accompanied by the Wise One, the Crone aspect of the Goddess. I think it is quite remarkable how her image has been
utterly distorted through time. She is a mighty One, her powers potent with the
wisdom of Maiden, Mother and Queen. She holds a light to guide others as they
roam the dark, on their inner paths. She has been there, often, and knows the
way. Among the many Crone Goddesses is Hecate, Spider Grandmother, Kali,
Goddesses of change and transformation and of the underworld. So you see, the Crone is present all over the world.
I guess it all happened over time, when her-story became his-story. I guess it all happened when we became more and more
disconnected with our Great Mother Gaia, with her cycles and
rhythms. Then we started to fear the dark, to fear death. The energy of
the Crone was turned into something dark and gruesome. The great Wise One
became the old hag with a wart on a broom, stirring the cauldron. I suppose you are seeing what I'm getting at here, it is kind of funny. I mean if you like to play with the imagination you can well imagine how the
cauldron can be seen as representing the deepest feminine aspect, the womb, the
spiral, creation, women’s power. So, yes, it is kind of amazing how during the transition from matriarchal to patriarchal how somehow the beauty of the Crone power has been turned into the evil witch. Something to fear. Hmmmmm... food for thought right?
But, I seriously doubt she minds or worries
over her distorted image! She probably just laughs at it. I mean she knows her powers.
She, we, … we know our true strengths.
Honoring the turning of the wheel at this
time of year, in any way, form or style we feel in alignment with, is a great
way of reconnecting with our roots, with our wild divine nature. To connect to our
authentic selves. Darkness is just as much a part of us as light is. At Winter
Solstice we will celebrate the birth of light again, but until then let’s BE HERE.
Let’s face the dark. Its ok, I promise. It offers the opportunity for much transformation. It might not be easy
for all of us, but we can do it. We can ask the Crone to guide us through the labyrinth,
she knows the way. And if we get afraid we can light the white candle within
our hearts, and feel how safe and warm it is.
Much Love & Embrace ♥ Sóley

*The Sacred Masculine*
This is not my first post about Masculinity~Femininity, and it sure
isn't my last one. But it is an important one.
Yesterday, as often before, I was searching for the Sacred Masculine.
Well, I do wake up next to it every single morning, next to my Man, the love of
my life, the Gold of my life, my partner, always blessing me with his great big
smile and warm heart :) I love you and your Sacred Masculinity * But yesterday
I watched a movie, a wonderful film centred on a little girl that finds solace in
the arms of the Goddess. But like in so many other movies the main male figure
was so mean. He was so mean. It saddened me terribly. So I started the search
for the Sacred Masculine on the www, and to my sheer pleasure and joy, after
following a very interesting path, I came across Xavier Rudd* And what a gem he
is* Pure heart and soul. A true peaceful warrior.
As for the Goddess, the Sacred Masculine has many faces, forms, and
vibrations. The healing sounds of Xavier is one of them. Now I am so glad to be
able to enjoy the blessings of the Sacred Masculine through his sounds, so I
need to share the enjoyment*
As the sacred feminine rises it is so important to honour the male side simultaneously,
the Sacred Masculine. We Goddesses, we do not want to walk behind men anymore,
but we do not want to walk in front of them either. We want to walk next to
them side by side** We live in a time when the medicine of the indigenous
people is much needed to heal and to hold. Please wise ones, hear our prayers.
Don't give up on us. We are calling out to you* We need your strength and
wisdom* Thank you* We revere the ways of the old land, and we look back for
guidance from our elders. Each memory of a long gone golden time on the Earth Mother
strikes a chord within our hearts. But we do not want to go back in time. A new
dawn is upon us. We are creating a new reality. Not all was good in those days
either. We are creating the Now of Togetherness*
I have lived many lives as a woman. I've also lived many lives as a man.
During many of my incarnations as a woman I have had to endure severe cruelty
by the hands of men. So it was, and so it is for many. Today, in this lifetime
I enjoy the blessings of being nurtured, protected and loved by men, but I wear
my old scars from my past lifetimes. I feel and I sense. I am still healing* It
can be tough.
I believe we can
best heal the gap between men and women by unifying their distinct energies
within our own hearts. Feel and sense we are One, and that we belong together.
We live in a dualistic world, a world of opposites ~ and I believe we are here
to learn how to, cope’ with that, to use that not-so-spiritual-word for it. Well,
it hasn't been easy. But when we manage to transcend the, coping’ and we start
working with those magnificent energies, we make miracles happen. We do alchemy
together*
It would make me so
happy if we would start to pay more attention to the good in men. Show more
positive images of men, and all their efforts. I am imagining that it can be a
bit tough to be a young man in today’s society.. who are their true role
models? Not to belittle the role of the fathers and grandfathers, but the world
is changing so rapidly, and the old ways of looking at the relationships
between men and women and gender roles in general is changing fast. Woman are
rising up. We are living in an era which will see The Return of the Sacred Feminine
and the Solar Feminine. We are living during a Great Shift in consciousness.
I
urge everyone I know to give this a little thought. Will we raise a generation of
lost boys? I do not have children on my own, but I take notice, I’m aware, and
so much around me makes my heart sing, but so much around me makes my heart cry
as well. Perhaps sex education in schools should undergo a crucial change. It
should be all about respect and honouring the genders first I believe, then we can teach about
sex. Perhaps the two could go hand in hand. How many boys and girls today would
describe the female body as being sacred? A sacred chalice with the ability to
carry new life?
This all goes hand
in hand, educating young girls about their worth, that they are Goddesses with
all the right in the world to live an abundant life, be safe, express themselves
freely and be treated equal to boys and later men. To educate boys about their
worth, that they are Sacred, and capable of being both fierce and tender, the
protectors of life, and that they have all the right in the world to live their
lives in radiance, next to women.
I bid adieu, and
leave you with these soft yet strong sounds of Xavier Rudd* Follow the Sun*

*I am enough ~ I am divine*
I got goose
bumps all over when my friend told me that Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune and the Moon had aligned
in the astrological configuration known as the Star of David on July 29th.
The reason
for the chill up my spine, was that two days after this auspicious celestial
event, which I was totally unaware of, I found to my great surprise, my lost necklace
with the six pointed Star of David.
The Star had been given to me two years
earlier and I had treasured it as one of my power objects. It had, and has, a
very special meaning to me, but at that day I was certain it was no longer in my
possession. I had given up all hope of ever finding it again after searching
everywhere for it for days. It was almost like it had vanished into thin
air, along with many of my other treasured power objects.
The ‘vanishing’ of
those objects was so mystical to me, that I even asked my higher self and Father
Spirit and Mother Earth to guide me, to find them or give me answers to this disappearance of
my sacred power objects.
I was
honored with an answer and the conclusion, that ‘the vanishing’ was a part of my
spiritual learning and process. The ‘vanishing’ was reminding me that I am enough, that I am divine! It was assisting me to sense my true identity as a Woman of Medicine and Healing, walking the Earth in this Now as we recognize it.
It was teaching me to sense myself as truly possessing magnificent gifts on my
own, without any aid from sacred power objects, totally stripped bare of any
mediums to channel energy, or ‘power up’ my ceremonies!
My higher self was
reminding me, that for me to practice the sacred act of energy work in my
manifested form as a human, using my
sacred temple, my body, as a tool, I had to remember the source of my own strengths
and powers.
Our potentials far exceed what our minds can understand, so I was
being asked to practice using my heart, and my heart alone, in my spiritual
work, as to reinforce my heart’s communication with Earth and Spirit, honoring
their sacred union in so doing.
Then to my
great surprise, after weeks of ‘training’ my heart’s communication skills, I
find my six pointed star again, and that two days after the configuration of
the Star of David in outer space. I just love that! Ooohhh what thrill it is,
to be in this body, a soul having a human experience* Love it! It is so
gratifying to sense the response from the Universe, as we consciously align
ourselves more and more to the rhythms of ‘All there Is’, to Oneness*
Many think
of the Star of David and its symbolism only in relation to the Jewish faith,
but it is sacred to many others religions and spiritual groups. The Star of
David, this six pointed star, has two triangles interlocking, symbolizing the
sacred unison of the masculine and the feminine energies. I love the vibration
from it, the sacred marriage
of the opposites.
The upward pointing triangle represents the Divine Masculine (yang)/ Heaven and Spirit, and our 3 top chakras, the Crown, our 3rd Eye and our Throat chakra. It symbolizes our connection and communication with Spirit. The downward facing triangle represents the Divine Feminine (yin)/ Mother Earth and the Goddess, and our three lower chakras, the Root chakra, the Sacral and the Solar plexus. It symbolizes our connection and communication with Matter. So you see where this is leading us!
When these two majestic triangles meet, it represents a true love relationship where Heaven meets Earth. Ohhhh I love it so! The intense love is felt within our own human hearts as the Pulse of Life ~ Womb of Creation.
We ARE this love manifested! We are the rainbow bridge, and therefore it is our birthright, and if I may add, the most natural thing in the world for us to accept and enjoy the gifts of LIFE, the Abundance, the Peace, the grand Love, the deep Compassion, and all that JOY*
~
Now after remembering my true powers,
remembering the source of my strengths and after my ‘training’ in ‘Heart-alignment’
I can call upon my sacred power tools, as I expand. But on this one condition,
and that is to always remember, that I, myself, am a channel for great energetic
vibration! I, this human manifestation, I am a sacred power object. I am the
love manifested between the Heaven and the Earth. I am a part of ALL there is,
I am a part of the web of Light, of Love and of Life. We are all One, and we
can all individually draw on the powers of the Universe, our Father and our
Mother with our own might. As we are their children*
On a beautiful day with my beloved, and my sacred STAR* |
ི♥ྀ On August 25th the planets will align themselves again and form the Star of David. Every day is the perfect day to tune into the frequency of Love and Peace, but when a celestial event like the formation of the star of David occurs, it makes for a Special Event ~ So if you feel like celebrating Love, Peace and Abundance I suggest preparing something special for that special day :) All my Love & Light* Sóley ~ Woman of Vision*

~ Su Li ~
... I had such a wonderful experience on New Moon Night, 6th of August. I was sitting by the ocean near my home (some genius has erected three poles there, and laid big nets over them, so ta ta! 2 hammocks for passers by to relax, swing just a little, and enjoy the horizon and the sea breeze) So yes, I was there enjoying the view and the weightlessness of rocking myself with one foot whilst somehow 'hanging' comfortably on the hammock ~ It was a really pleasant experience ~ I had gone out just before the exact time of the New Moon here in Iceland ~ with the intention to communicate with my council, my spirit guides. I have yet to make formal contact, so to speak, though I often converse with some of them, but I know and sense they are many, and I longed to talk to them.
So there I was lulling myself into a calm state tuning my attention inwards as the evening, so calm and beautiful, had enticed quite a number of people to go outside for an evening walk by the sea. And then I felt her presence ~ Su Li, my twin sister from another life! I know, .. it is amazing* I am so grateful* And the way images started flooding towards me, and emotions, and memories, it was beautiful* It brought tears to my eyes* She is here with me when I write, when I go into that trance like state of creation, and I just wish I could type faster. ..

Su Li
How you came to me ..
Touched my crown, lightly, but warmly
Made sure I would feel your warmth, your tenderness
As before, when we were one, in two bodies
My beautiful twin sister
You were dark
I was light
We used to write together, laugh together
...we helped each other with everything
I don‘t remember our mother‘s face
Only her long flowing black hair down her shoulders
Raven
And father,
He was strong, soft, so beautiful, with a heart of Gold
He lit every room he walked into
With his aura of compassion and courage
We were their daughters
Their two sparkling stars
Their two cherry berries
Together on a stalk
We were so loved
Embraced
Thank you for reaching out to me
Through veils of time and space
To your beautiful twin sister
I was light
You were dark
By the pond we played and giggled
The pink and white lotuses so beautiful and serene
Like the color of the sky above last night
When the moon was dark
And you touched my crown with your tender touch
I was calling out
And you heard me
Though lifetimes a part

~ OCEANIC LOVE ~
~ OCEANIC LOVE ~
By Sóley ~ Woman of Vision
By Sóley ~ Woman of Vision
“Mum!”
“Yes sweetheart”
“What are you doing?”
The little boy was staring at his mother in wonder. His freckled nose catching the last beams of the evening sun.
“I’m talking to the ocean”, she replied in a soothing yet distant voice.
A light sea breeze swept a lock of her hair away from her face, revealing her profile and her own freckled nose.
The little one looked baffled, and with a swift downward motion of his head, turned his gaze away from his mum and started kicking the black sand with his yellow plastic boots.
“But you aren’t saying anything”, he said in a bit of an upset tone, not quite understanding what his mother had just said.
She opened her eyes and looked at him, her eyes radiating motherly warmth and tenderness.
“Oh, but I am my sweet. I’m using my inner voice.”
The 6 year old turned towards the ocean and watched how the small waves broke just a few inches from his boots. Then he kept kicking the sand again.
Sensing his feelings of bafflement and being left out, she reached out to him with an open palm, and said in a calm reassuring tone: “you to have an inner voice.”
“I do!” the little boy said turning towards her again, his eyes wide open reflecting his regained interest.
“Yes you do!” she answered with a smile, and the glow from the soft sunlight caressed her face.
He reached for her hand and wrapped his little fingers around it. They were cold and sticky after playing on the beach for a while. He no longer felt left out. Now he and his mum shared a secret. And that comforting feeling was enough to keep him occupied whilst they just stood there for a moment, hand in hand, looking at the horizon, listening to the birds above and the waves below. Unified by the secret of the inner voice.

Belonging to a Sisterhood ~ Seeding Change
❤ Love Love Love and more infinite Love to all my sisters and brothers around the Globe ❤
On Earth Day 22nd of April, I came across TreeSisters! WOW! My heart is singing and my ‘Unity Womb with my Earth‘s Sisterhood‘ is spiraling! In HER and MY honor, as we are ONE, with much Love, Grace and Embrace to my beautiful Earth Mother, I am now a TreeSister!

The law of AYNI, sacred reciprocity is at work through this beautiful initiative* Thank you Leesa Wilson for sharing TreeSisters*
I was moved by the talk of TreeSister Clare Dakin, the founder of the campaign. I feel totally in alignment with what she has to share; on the TreeSisters website: www.treesisters.org, videos and blogs. Please watch this video:
...and Men, please watch to. Love to my powerful and caring male figures surrounding me in this life time, my partner Kristján Már Gunnarsson and my father Viðar Aðalsteinsson. My feelings towards the sacred Masculine resonate in Clare‘s words in one of her blogposts: “To all the men out there who find their way to this message please know that we honour you and your journey into balance as we make our own. We have all inherited the mind sets, structures and systems that now limit us. You have inherited your role and we have inherited ours. What we do from here, and how we recreate balance in this world is up to us; all of us. It’s time for all of our gifts to be in service to the world in ways that work for everyone. Let’s surpass ourselves.“ The blog 'post in its entirety: (http://www.treesisters.org/news/13/81/Why-women-and-honouring-the-Masculine).
The fires are being relit in every corner of the world, and it is because we are taking action and taking responsibility. Every little step counts, For the Greatest Good of All Concerned. SISTERS join hands!
All my projects, big or small, are efforts toward a more peaceful, harmonious world. I am in the North, so I shine in the North, hold stewardship in the North together with my SISTERS in various projects.
Mother Earth Retreat ~ MER
The one emerging now in 2013, a creation together with my beautiful and gifted soul sisters Sólveig Katrín Jónsdóttir and Thorey Vidarsdottir is Mother Earth Retreat, spiritual Earth journeys and retreats in Iceland. Mother Earth Retreat will support people, sisters and brothers of all ages and walks of life to connect to their inner core, hearts and souls and to truly radiate from within, shine their beautiful lights* This project is in creation and we are working on the website and facebook site as we speak* Here is little video that captures the 'feeling' of MER : http://animoto.com/play/FfhE0AtQUOQXnTpiKg1chw
Alchemy of Peace, an organization I have the great pleasure of being a part of alongside my dear sister Grace, Dorthe Steenberg, contributes to the awakening of human kind through the sharing of Earths wisdom on many levels. Always in alignment with the principle of giving and receiving with Earth and each other in balance and harmony, in sacred reciprocity, in AYNI. From the Alchemy of Peace website: „The time has come! The creative force of the feminine is emerging gracefully, commanding divine unison with the masculine powers, as old structures and belief systems are collapsing. The PEACE SUMMIT is one manifestation of the Alchemy of Peace dream, and the weaving has been in collaboration with such beautiful and powerful sisters*
Together with my wise sister and blood mother Helga Sigurðardóttir
I am working with the energies of Sacred Iceland*
I am working with the energies of Sacred Iceland*
We all have consequence in the world*
How beautiful it is, that we ARE waking up and realizing it! And we ARE waking up and realizing our responsibilities as Earth Keepers. Don‘t we all carry the same deep rooted wish inside, within our hearts, that we can live peacefully together, as brothers and sisters, that our families and friends, neighbours, our children and grandchildren, can be happy, thrive and prosper on this planet? Mother Earth is so abundant, but we have to care for her, and she needs time and tender love and care to replenish! Just think of your own mother, how she nurtured you as a baby. There is a reason why we call our planet MOTHER Earth, she nourishes us, with oxygen, water and food. She is, and SHE alone is our provider. If we do not care for her we cannot survive! It is as simple as that.

To many of us, a word like ‘Ecosystems‘ is a word used by professors and professionals within that field. We the ordinary people do not associate with it instantly. It is not until we truly take in the meaning, the concept, what it really means, that we realize that in fact, it is the singular most important concept of our existence. Without it, we wouldn't exist. We cannot keep on taking and taking. We have to give back. We have to face our mirror images, and deal with the damage we have caused and mend and heal Mother Earth, restore balance, if we are to survive as humans! Let us now be HUMAN~KIND*
I am going out on a limb here, exposing my enthusiasm, but it is just so worth it. WE ARE the change that is needed, we have to do it, take the action. I try my best, and though I still eat meat and use hairspray, I still want to share this message in hope I inspire others to walk their talk. We do it together, one step at a time. The key is to align our heartbeats with Mother Earth’s and to be conscious about how we live our lives as consumers. Let’s show that we CARE*
❤ All my Love & Light ... and MUCH EARTH POWER ❤

*Lunar New Year 2013 ~ The Year of the Water Snake begins* New Moon in Aquarius*
*The Powerful Female (Yin) Cycle of 2013 has now begun*
Art: Lena Sokol
I don’t know .. I’m a bit bewildered.
I’m both terrified at, and utterly humble towards the powerful Snake Medicine. There are no snakes in Iceland, not even little brown ones in high grass fields like in Sweden, and I think even in Denmark as well. It could never happen that I would incidentally bump into a snake in its natural habitats here. So I’ve never seen one. Ohh, wait, I did see one once.
It was a huge snake (in my opinion) in a glass cage at a guy’s place I remotely knew once. He kept the snake as an ‘exotic pet’. Illegal and all, but you know how it is... I remember not liking it one bit; the whole scenario, the guy, where he lived, the atmosphere, and the poor snake. I remember how afraid I was at ‘him’, the snake that is, but at the same time I felt so so sorry for the poor animal. Being caged like that, it could hardly move. But then again, I know nothing of snakes, and in what position they like to ‘chill’ in. Sorry, I don’t want to sound sarcastic, but it was just all so unreal and uncomfortable to me that experience. Becoming sarcastic is, I think, my defence mechanism.
It’s a whole other story to draw the ‘snake’ from a deck of Medicine cards, become all wise with eyes a bit peered, nodding the head in a ‘..mhmmmm, the SNAKE, very powerful animal, with deep potent wisdom’ kind of way.
So just now, when I was browsing, looking for beautiful and catchy pictures for the Lunar New Year 2013 blog and the Year of the Black Water Snake, I caught myself feeling utterly shallow.
The truth is that I am terrified of snakes! I don’t know what I would do if I would meet one one day. Just the idea of traveling somewhere where there could be snakes gives me goose bumps.
So I don’t know ..
Does that mean something then, on a spiritual level, for me? I mean, has my snake-fear anything to do with my spiritual growth?
Yes please, just go on and laugh..that’s ok J but seriously, I mean it! I, who am so much into all things spiritual and mystic, I just couldn't screen out this thought. Does my fear of snakes have a deeper spiritual meaning!
The Snake, the symbolism attached to the snake is massive, for a lack of a better word. Perhaps immense is better. The snake symbolism is everywhere; it goes way back in history, and is tightly woven to our evolution as species and to our spiritual awakening. Just to roughly type what’s on the top of my mind; The Bible, Eden, Eve and the Snake. The Kundalini energy, often depicted as a snake rising up through our Chakras, dormant, coiled in our root chakra until we consciously work with it. Then Greek mythology is swarming with snakes; The Greek god’s Hermes winged staff with two snakes. Also the staff with one circling snake, the medicine and healing staff, that I’m pretty sure has Greek origins as well, and then the Greek Goddess with all the snakes on her head, I don’t remember her name, and I’m not going to google it. (Medusa, ok, I googled it).
Yes, the snake has been a strong character in many books and cave paintings, sacred spiritual texts. And then of course in Harry Potter!
To me, because I have been working with my dad’s Animal Medicine Cards since I was 13, the snake to me means transmutation. Not transformation like the medicine of the butterfly, but transmutation referring to a deeper, in some cases more painful, change. I will include a link to read: http://scottfoglesong.printandwebdesign.com/06-snake.pdf
The Female and Creation, Healing, Wisdom, Alchemy is inherent to the snake symbolism in my perception. I also perceive the snake in the West, assisting with death and rebirth. Mother Earth gave me a snake totem to carry once, (a wood piece, quite big, that was snake shaped) I carried it fastened in my belt in ceremonies. It came to me when I truly needed its medicine. It helped me enormously when going through great transmutation in my life.
I can’t seem to be able to make a conclusion to this post. Perhaps I’m not supposed to. The snake is perhaps endlessly entwined around existence, like a spiral, and doesn't want to have an end!
I'm sure the Snake will reveal itself to those who understand its power and wisdom*
*Good Night and Blessssssssed night*

*When feeling Sorry becomes Evolution*
For this Saturday I want to post a video, its been a while since I did that :) :D Enjoy the groovy beats*
♪♫••*¨*•.¸¸❤¸¸•*¨*•☆.。.✿♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸❤¸¸•*¨*•☆.。.✿♪♫•

I don't know the lyrics to it, but the name of the song is Sorry*
Sometimes we just feel sorry, maybe for something we did or said and we wish we hadn't, or about something close or remote to us. And it is OK to experience the feeling~emotion. Some would say "don't feel sorry", or as the homeless man said to my boyfriend after asking for some change, which my boyfriend didn't have and therefore answered something something, and "..... I'm sorry..", then the homeless man replied: "Don't be sorry, be successful".
But feeling sorry, at least reflects a stirring within ones heart and that's why I think feeling sorry once in a while is OK. We should in fact celebrate the notion of it. It means we are humans, and that we can make mistakes, which we then become aware of and want to change for the better and that is evolution.
Hahahahah... so after writing this I have come to the conclusion that 'sorry' is synonymous to 'evolution' ;)
I think that is just great for this Saturday* Lets enjoy it, and the New Moon tomorrow. We are now within the dark phase of the moon, experiencing the Balsamic Moon phase, the last 2/3 days of the Lunar cycle. We embrace the dark and give thanks to its potency*

I don't know the lyrics to it, but the name of the song is Sorry*
Sometimes we just feel sorry, maybe for something we did or said and we wish we hadn't, or about something close or remote to us. And it is OK to experience the feeling~emotion. Some would say "don't feel sorry", or as the homeless man said to my boyfriend after asking for some change, which my boyfriend didn't have and therefore answered something something, and "..... I'm sorry..", then the homeless man replied: "Don't be sorry, be successful".
But feeling sorry, at least reflects a stirring within ones heart and that's why I think feeling sorry once in a while is OK. We should in fact celebrate the notion of it. It means we are humans, and that we can make mistakes, which we then become aware of and want to change for the better and that is evolution.
Hahahahah... so after writing this I have come to the conclusion that 'sorry' is synonymous to 'evolution' ;)
I think that is just great for this Saturday* Lets enjoy it, and the New Moon tomorrow. We are now within the dark phase of the moon, experiencing the Balsamic Moon phase, the last 2/3 days of the Lunar cycle. We embrace the dark and give thanks to its potency*
Love and Miracles to All

*Honoring the Swelling Belly*
*Brigit's Day ~ 2nd of February*
Candlemas ~ Imbolc
Candlemas ~ Imbolc
There are stirrings within the womb of Mother Earth. Light is quickening*
The seeds that were planted on Winter Solstice are beginning to sprout.
We are now midway between the solstice and the gifts of Ostara, so the promise of spring is around the corner. Imbolc means 'in the belly', or 'around the belly', in honor of the swelling belly of the Earth Mother. I think that is so beautiful*
Today we light a candle for the Celtic Goddess Brigit, the Triple Fire Goddess.
As for many other pagan Goddesses, today she is also revered as a
Christian saint. God~Goddess moves in mysterious ways ;)
Brigit's three aspects are the 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.
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 the heavy burden of a long winter, thankful for all the lessons, but longing for more light and lightness in Life. Brigit gives us that extra spark to keep on, not to fall back and give up.
She is the bringer of hope*
Today I dedicate my candle prayer to Brigit, to ANU the Mother of Goddesses and to the Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet
Live well and be Happy*
*LOVE*
