As a daughter of The Great Mother Goddess…one of many ways I connect with Imbolc/Brigid’s Day and Valentine’s Day(February 2-14)is through…Oshun. This deity is the Yoruba cosmological force of water, moisture, and attraction…these“energies” and or “attributes” are brought through the planet Venus(who rules Taurus),which is also,archetypical,the Goddess of our eternal flame… passion,seduction,grace, beauty, love, and creativity…all of us have this archetype within us…the one that calls to our desires. In this instance,S-he is known as the Venus(Love) of our inner-beings. The mother, the one who sends sensual and sexual pleasures, warmth, comfort and human love.

You see,contact with this Essence heals one relationship with self and thereupon,with the divine…the fe-male energy-field within ourselves. This union of self opens us up to supreme consciousness which one can experience as messages to the soul that appear through the higher side of the consciousness.

One should realize that through a giving heart and or spirit it is your FREE choice to experience love, in its many manifestations, through the reflection of self-love,extended love,and or divine love…for love is present everywhere and should be in all bonding unions in one’s life. 

Extend yourself…to opening up Supreme  Consciousness…

 Blessings,

 Creolemoon

Notes:  Valentine, Eros,Mars,Cupid are lesser aspects of the Supreme Goddess of Love… for the Venus of Eternal Love knows no bounds.

The year of the Dragon takes place every twelve years. Children born during Dragon Years are said to enjoy health, wealth, and long life. Dragon references occur prominently in early philosophical texts as well as in the images of shamanistic worship.

The Dragon is a symbol for Kundalini fire-energy. The Kundalini Serpent Power of the Dragon is a Mother Goddess Cosmic energy within each individual. Incidentally, the Dragon is associated with the seasons. S/he ascended into the sky in the spring to make rain for the crops and returned underwater in the fall. Ancient Chinese prayed to the dragon for good harvests, banging gongs to awaken the Spirit in the spring. They brought offerings and small images in clay. Revered and feared…s/he is most often associated with the weather and is also known as the “Rain Master”… eyes flashing lightning, wings causing the wind, and breath the rain. The dry season occurred when s/he was hibernating in the water, its natural element. The tail of the dragon symbolizes the time of fall equinox. It represents our past. And, the head of the dragon symbolizes the spring equinox…the future of the becoming.

The color of Dragons are associated with their powers, some examples are as follows: Azure dragons are associated with spring, red and black are ferocious, representing storms in clouds, and yellow dragons are like the sun, elusive,and solitary. Dragons are associated with several cosmic sphears: Celestial Dragons (Tien-lung) who guards and supports the heavens, Spiritual Dragons (Shen-lung) who control rain and wind, Earth Dragons (Ti-lung) who direct the course of rivers and streams safely toward the sea, and Subterranean Dragons (Fut’s-lung), who guard the treasures of the earth, gems, jade, gold.

To dig further down into the Spirit…the Dragon of Living Fire Rises because it is time for your reBirth into a highER Self-actualization…a higher self-consciousness. The heart of this Goddess Kundalini lives within you…s/he is you. This energy-field is spiraled up within you. When one’s kundalini Rises…it is the absolute pure knowledge of compassion.

“When we talk in the light of Kundalini, we have to understand that this light spreads in your life, outside your life and, expresses itself in a very beautiful manner. When it works, the whole thing works out and you develop faith. That faith is within you. Nobody can challenge you if you have faith. It will be done. Your pure desire is now being fulfilled, you are now connected, and you are now Divine. The brain cannot perceive divinity unless it is illuminated by the Spirit.” Shri Mataji

Happy New Year! May 2012 be FILLED with wisdom and compassion.

 Serpent Goddess of Justice, Time, Heaven and Hell…She who rears up

Not too long ago a dear friend visited me and we touched on the subject of if my family and I celebrated Christ in our Xmas. I would like to respond with the following cosmology…you see, I am a High Priestess of the Great Mother Goddess…Isis, Kwan Yin, Kali, a crowned daughter of Iemanja…whatever one wishes to call her by name…I follow Shakti… an Ultimate Energy-field that pushes me into further growth. I follow the Sun and Moon the Stars…the Womb…the everlasting Cosmic…and what you see and read from my thoughts…is just a brief exploration of what unlimited possibilities are within…Consequently, I cannot express the detail of what I celebrate on Xmas…in such a blog post. But, I would like to share a gift with you…a gift of enlightenment…

You see, one of many of these personifications that I CELEBRATE are as follows;Wadjet is the Cobra Kundalini goddess( a serpent that is within each of us that ascends to the immortal divine)of Lower Egypt whom eventually took the title, The Eye of Ra. Wadjet,the personification of the north, a forceful snake-headed protector of kings,childbirth,and children-a motherly defender. Wadjet can be seen rearing from the forehead of the rulers,such as King Tutankhamen.

Many Egyptian deities,such as Wadjet, are connected with specific hours, days, and months. Her time is considered to function as the fifth hour of the fifth day of the month, or lunar cycle. Consequently, December 25th, on the Egyptian calendar, is considered to function as the “going forth of the Goddess.” In the Pyramid Texts,it said that the papyrus plant emerged from her, and that she is connected to the forces of growth.”

Creolemagik is a philosophy that is rooted in the Alchemical Tradition and, thus, involves the Socratic care of the psycho-spiritual self-consciousness through esoteric magik. Creolemagik is not a religion. Creolemagik is a fusion of transpersonal psychology,ancient wisdom and self-help tools one can use while on their own journey of internal spiritual alchemy. Creolemagik emphasizes focusing in on the Whole person: mind, body, and spirit. The guidance reinforces that one must take time to nurture their own Spirit, foremost. The reason being,  Spirit is so important because it is the inner sense of enlightenment that guides us in our own will and direction in life. For example, when one meets another with a strong Spirit there is an exhilaration and strength that emulates from their eyes. Truly, a peaceful Spirit sends out an energy that eases other individuals, and allows one to deeply connect with them. And, this same energy will allow one to connect with their own higher purpose. Incidentally, the philosophy and or teachings of Creolemagik correspond to the elements of earth, air, fire, water, and ether  to center oneself. Furthermore, by using meditation, visualization, and psyche development, one can begin to heal from any self-limiting thought vibrations in their collective unconsciousness.

Magikal Blessings,

 I go further into the philosophy of Creolemagik in my upcoming book…

The autumnal equinox occurs whenever the sun crosses the equator on its journey southward. Therefore we have a day as well as a night which are of equal duration. Consequently, on this date the sun enters the sign of Libra. Aha, yes, the feast of the archangel Michael.

Mythically, this is actually the day when the God of Illumination is defeated by his twin and alter ego, the God of Darkness. It happens to be the time of the year when night conquers day.

Likewise, we share in this universal rhythm of rebirth and reincarnation when we acknowledge the waning power of the Sun. This is actually a time of going within ourselves and making preparations for our particular survival, psycho-spiritually and physically, while in the winter months; the moment for introspection and deep thought.

The Equinox is really a potent time to meditate, set intentions, invoke our guides and gather together to receive infusions of wisdom and enlightenment. Opportunities… because we create a passage originating from a lower degree of consciousness and resourceful power into a higher one. The stronger the light, the better visible our shadow becomes along with the greater the potential for positive self-transformation.

The Equinox is your precise balance point where day and night (light and dark) are exactly equal {and as well as in perfect balance. Incidentally, this is the reason the Equinox is such an important sacred day in a great number of world’s “spiritual” traditions. The reason being, it happens to be the perfect occasion to set new intentions and apply yourself to a positive shift toward greater love and release self-limiting fears.

In Love and Light,

Having Irish and Scottish Gaelic roots, being born in the month of May and now having my youngest daughter’s birth in May, I hold this month as sacred and a union that springs’ forth further inner-growth. A Solar Sabbat that I celebrate for myself is known as Beltane; celebrated at or around April 30^th – May 1^st and or May 5^th, an additional date when the sun reaches 15 degrees Taurus. This specific celebration consists of customs belonging to the Gaelic Bealtaine as well as the Germanic May Day festival. In Irish Gaelic, Bealtaine is the word pertaining to the month of May. In Scottish Gaelic Bealtuinn signifies May Day.

Beltane highlights the arrival of energy and pleasure. Beltane features the growth of the youthful god towards maturity. Awakened from forces laboring in the wild, he longs for the goddess. Suddenly…right before our eyes…she becomes alive from the union of her fertile soil and his seeds…no longer dormant in her womb…life is flourishing…and blossoming all around us. They fall madly in love…joining forces. This particular growth of the Green Man together with the goddess of May is a magikal sacred union…essential for the lushness of earth mother. This time is known as a solar Sabbat and that is known as a Quarter Day. Basically, the entire year is split into four parts. Each Sabbat signifies a transforming moment which is accompanied by a transfer in energy levels. Consequently,if we sub/consciously open ourselves up to this flow, these times of transformation will likely have a psycho-spiritual influence within us. Hence, we are one within the cycle of life. Furthermore, incoming spiritual development encourages us to arise to what’s everlasting inside all of us. Once we benefit from this, we additionally uncover the place we belong within the universal energy of life that flows throughout us and effects all things within the cosmos.

Blessed Be,

CreoleMoon

Sacred space is a place of transformation and or modification. And, in many cases, sacred space is a place of progress. It can be a moment in time of a craft of our own will. Furthermore, what is actually undertaken near sacred space and or sanctuary units the psyche with spirit, and body. Thus, the result of this union, within the inner-temple, leads to the opening up of peak experiences. Incidentally, self actualization naturally guides one into the journey of spirituality…again, spirituality is an energy that resides within the person. In particular, peak experiences are moments of personal-illumination…and this brings one into a complete unification of consciousness. For in these moments of solitude and or deep meditative thought a personal energy heals and thus becomes ego-transcending; releasing one’s own free-will into a flow of luminous possibilities and calm.

On March 20th/21st we welcome Spring Equinox. The first point of Aries. This is when the Sun (Ra) will cross directly over the Earth’s (Isis-the Divine Mother) equator . Thus, day and night are equal in balance. People have Celebrated the Spring Equinox for thousands of years. This is the time when mother-earth Awakens from the seeds that have been planted inside of her. Early Egyptians built the great Sphinx so that they would point directly toward the rising Sun on the day of the Spring Equinox.

This is a time of personal renewal…growth. Ask yourself, “How can I re-new myself… my Spirit?” This is a holistic journey towards renewal…this self-actualization. It is time to shed all the dormant energy that you opened your psyche up to when you set out to awaken all the contemplations of this past winter solstice. It is time to ask yourself, “What do I need to liberate myself from?”

During this time, the full moon is sacred to Eostre, the Lunar Goddess of fertility-from whence we get the word estrogen, whose two symbols are the egg and the rabbit…symbols of life and fertility. Full Moon energy is used for banishing unwanted influences in your life, protection magik, and divination. Planning, releasing and working backward in time are done on the Full Moon as well. It is said that the best Full Moon magik can be conjured for seven days: the three days prior to the Full Moon, the night of the Full Moon itself, and three days after the Full Moon. Sometimes the results of Full Moon magik take approximately one moon cycle to take hold and come to completion.

March is the time for new beginnings, breaking illusions, and seeing the truth in your life however much it may hurt. The energy flow breaks into the open, a good time for growing, prospering, and exploring.

To cultivate spirituality, a good self-concept is crucial. A favorable self-concept is considering yourself as an honorable person, worthy of an enjoyable life…and in a position of attaining it. Creating a valuable belief concerning our external or even internal self lets us discover… with our inner spiritual nature…so that, in the long run, we believe that we are a all-powerful being.

Affirmations can be doneinwardly, voiced aloud, put into writing, chanted, said in the form of spells and or prayers. Sometimes, I sing my affirmations with music. Incidentally, that is why I feel music reaches one in a spiritual level…when it moves you in the right way. Furthermore, the proper environment with the right’ energy that is in-tune with the goals of the working(s) is important.

Success with affirmations depends upon utilizing the three-fold key-think about the meaning, create a visualization for this meaning and feel how you will feel when the hoped for goal is consistently happening in your life. In WitchCraft this three-fold key/law does the following; you raise the energy (meditation), program the energy(tell the energy what you want it to do-using affirmations), and direct the energy(visualizations). When you begin directing the energy…continue to program it, while you visualize it doing what you want to do. Affirmations must’ be repeated five to ten times a day, in your mind. Ultimately, let it go…and know that it’ is working.

Magikal Blessings…
