May Full Moon

Posted on May 22, 2013 by

nearly full moonThe Full Moon in the month of May is known as The Hare Moon, the Flower or Planting Moon. It’s a time of health, love, romance, and wisdom. This is a great time to plant the seeds that you have empowered. As the seeds begin to grow, the energy you have filled them with will start to manifest in your life. It’s also a great time to rekindle the romantic spark and passion in a relationship. If you’ve been working magic to help your career, now will probably be the time to decide which of your job offers to accept.

And as usual.. don’t forget to place all your sacred tools, crystals and stones out so that they may soak up some of that full moon magic!

I also want to take a moment to talk about personal talisman:

A talisman for those of you who don’t know, is an object which is believed to contain certain magical properties which would provide good luck for the possessor and possibly offer protection from evil or harm.

Many wear a particular charm, pendant or other piece of talisman… be sure to allow it to recharge from time to time. Take it off, lay it out in the sun or moonlight for a few hours or so, lay it on some Earth and or cleanse it with smudge, salt or water. Allow your talisman to communicate with you how best to cleanse it. Just like you .. it needs a time to rest, relax and recharge.

Many Blessings,

The Negativity of Others

Posted on May 20, 2013 by

mockingbirdYuck Yuck Yuck … that’s what I say when it comes to the negativity that others project. Some people just give off a negative vibe … maybe they have reason and maybe they don’t.  I use to worry about it and I use to want to try and fix it and I’ve also been known to think their negativity was about me… it turns out that some people are just negative. Nothing less, nothing more.

Don’t let yourself get sucked into the negative field of others. Let their negative vibe stay with them. Remove yourself from their space and leave them with their own energy to deal with.

We have no way of knowing why certain people give off all that negativity and just maybe it’s not our problem. They have to deal with their own energy just as we have to deal with ours.

It’s hard not to get sucked into their field … especially when you work with them or have to deal with them on a daily basis in one way or another. Just remember the energy coming from them has nothing to do with you. You can’t control what they send out .. only what you send out.

Many Blessings,

The Calling

Posted on May 14, 2013 by

purple flowersWhether it is drums calling you or the soft whisper of a loved one who has passed… guiding you into a new direction… listen.

Listen from your core. Listen with all that you are and you will begin to understand the nature of this calling.

Is it a new path, a new job, a new home, a new craft or a new understanding?

You will only find the answers you seek by truly listening with your whole being.

Take time to meditate and reflect upon this tug and pull of your spirit. There is something guiding you … listen and go with what you already know to do. Let go of your fears and walk into the direction of your destiny. Finding your way is a wonderful thing … guidance and help getting there is even better!

Many Blessings,

Beyond the Rabbit Hole

Posted on May 13, 2013 by

rabbit holeJust there, beyond the rabbit hole, is a world of magic waiting to be found.

What adventures might there be beyond that magical rabbit hole? One will only know if you choose to venture through to the other side.

There’s a land there of mystery and magic just waiting for you. Do you dare take a peek?

Who’s to say what’s waiting on the side. Curiosity has my mind reeling and an excitement of the unknown fills me to the brim.  I do think I must have a little peek. Come on … won’t you come along for the journey with me?

Many Blessings,

Embracing the Light

Posted on May 13, 2013 by

embracing the lightIn a world full of all kinds of trouble … it’s not always easy to “Embrace the Light”.

Worries, fear, sorrow, loss, stress, emotions, etc… so many troubles that can suck the light away from us.

It’s necessary that we take time often to remove ourselves from these troubles and look toward the light… the good life has to offer us. Otherwise, we get sucked into a black hole of negativity that does nothing to help us along our journey.

Today’s post is a simple reminder to take time to reflect on the good in life… just don’t stay in reflection so long that you miss out on the now.

Many Blessings,

Facing Your Demons

Posted on May 10, 2013 by

holly7-2012Today I’ve been thinking about the individual worlds that we all live in and the demons that haunt us there.

I’ve given much thought this morning to my own demons and why the heck am I still allowing them to haunt me. Getting rid of behaviors or thoughts related to past pain is hard. It’s a defense mechanism to hold on to these memories and to certain behaviors and or thoughts to keep history from repeating itself and to keep the pain that was felt as far away as possible.

The big question is: How much do these demons hold us back?

What would you do if it weren’t for these demons? If they did not exist… where might you be?

Explore your demons today and start putting them in their place.

It’s not going to be easy by any means… it’s not going to be quick and it’s not going to be painless… BUT…. it will be worth it!

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Guided

Posted on May 7, 2013 by

Have you had that feeling that you are being guided to do something particular for some unknown reason?

I get that feeling all the time. I never know how it will turn out until it does :-)

So today I am sitting at my desk at work and I am drawn to get up with my camera and go outside. I walk out the front door for a moment and it didn’t feel just right so I walked toward the back of the building and just as I stepped outside .. I looked down and found this staring back at me .. waving hello!

Instead of picking it up I just took it’s photo and whispered a little thank you.

I walk on over to a stone retaining wall and saw this dandelion standing all alone it’s it bright and beautiful glory. My thought

was… how great it is to take pleasure in ordinary things like this lone dandelion.

I stepped back for a moment and as I looked down … here was another clover waving hello :-) … again I just took it’s photo and whispered my thank you.

I could hear some birds in the distance making a bunch noise. I figured it was young ones wanting to be fed. I stepped down toward the end of the wall to see what else there was to see and I looked up to find this Red-Tailed Hawk being bullied by a Mockingbird. He must have been too close to the Mockingbird’s nest.
