LIVING A LUNAR LIFE: Moontime, Dreamtime Earthtime
New Moon in AQUARIUS
Cycle: FEB 13 - MAR 14, 2010
3rd and last of natures Element: AIR Moon
"Dreaming with Personal Vision"
(Native American: Snow Moon)
Visionary Aquarius, Visionary Elemental of the Air Moon… this is our 3rd and final Air Moon (mental body consciousness of humans and all living things) of mother natures natural cycle before the Spring Equinox of 2010. Our first Air elemental moon cycle was in Gemini last May, the second in October in Libra and now we finish up this trinity with Aquarius at the highest level of the mental body.
Why are Aquarian moons linked with vision and visionary perspective? Because our emotion reaches it’s highest state moving up to a greater ideal, a greater vision, giving new idea's a creative solution, even at the community or humanitarian level. Moon cycles though unlike the Sun, reveal hidden or unconscious reflection, the anarchy and rebelliousness within to reach our personal truth. This moon we honor the truth sayer, that rebel who finds the courage to do what is to be done, regardless of society restricts. If Gemini Air Moons are the Coyote, then Aquarius is the Great Spirit Coyote running across the sky overlooking all his coyotes down below. The Thunder God, the Great Phoenix.
Aquarius is our Wisdom Bearer from becoming the great observer. As an Aquarian, I never liked the bi-line of: Hopes, Wishes and Dreams for Aquarius, it should be more like, Rebellion, Truth and Vision, which flows when we learn to still, train and conquer our lower mind. When we free our self from our mind, our higher mind finds clarity, unity, stillness and creative vision that we can actually hear and see within. But like all Moons, what is blocked, repressed, stifled from fear of judgment of others, old worn out traditions that do not serve lunar women and feeling men, the unconscious and hidden must be “exposed” to both our self, and then community, in order to flow in the practice of self-mastery and balance as a whole in our communities.
Aquarian Moons bring both change and electricity; so pay attention to what is needed for your truth to be heard, over the next 28-night cycle. No one will like it… because people say they want the truth, but not really, it is too difficult to bear and break those chains of denial’s freedoms.
If we use intention this moon to welcome change and define what we intuitively feel is coming this month (Aquarius rules the future); we can then speak our truth with groundedness and stand up for it when we need to take personal risk, because we have gone through the difficult path to practice walking it rather than just talking it. This allows our moon soul to see the truth with its moon-eye, with less restrictions and taboo’s to explore our whole self that overcomes fear of our emotions and feelings. We do this to create a balance, an agreement between our mind and our feelings, and to lessen the shock when changes appear.
Learning to honor, respect and love (with an attitude) in an Aquarian Moon cycle, because that is the one big way to touch our own personal chaos and begin to see it and eventually heal and integrate it. Aquarius moons are all about you.
The teachings of the ancient lunar dream mysteries are about finding a doorway in the dark, to connect to our personal Soul who has no physical life, with our solar day life. I did not know back then that I would enter luminous rebalancing my entire system according to the cycles of the moon in order to fully lives in the present moment with Mother Nature. I was so out of balance and every holiday, festival and lights on 24 hours a day everywhere I turned, was so badly out of balance with the face of the moo. It was a long road to readjust my moon cycle (emotional consciousness) within.
Three stages of self-awareness when on a self-healing journey…
1. New Moon: Awakening, learning, studying and connecting with like minded souls and practices and setting an Intention of something you wish to be or see within;
2. Full Moon: Awareness of your intention in front of you or in your dreams or both, contributing to your self awareness based on your personal intention and its fullness realized;
3. Dark Moon: The death and rebirth of wisdom of your Intention. Now seeing that manifest we settle and find rest, so its wisdom is revealed about our personal nature.
Let the Aquarian 28-Night Moon cycle support you, your dreams at night and your personal vision from the self, combing your higher mind (Heart) or paying attention to just how busy your mind is that prevents this. Aquarian moons are like Aquarians, different, unique, unpredictable, and all about changes…
Some Aquarian New Moon Intentions:
I AM EXPRESSING MYSELF MORE FREELY
I AM HONEST WITH MYSELF
I AM A REBEL FOR A GOOD CAUSE
I AM FINDING MY INNER VISION
I AM CONNECTED TO MY WHOLE SELF
I AM UNIQUE
I AM CHANGING AND GROWING STRONGER

NEW MOON FRIDAY JAN 15 @ 1:11 AM CST
11:11 PM or PST 2:11 AM EST
3rd and Final Earth Moon
Archetype: CAPRICORN
“The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and dreaming reality, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality.”
So how was your last Fire Moon Cycle? How did your Intention on the New Moon play out at the Full Moon and this past week of wisdom? Did you pay attention? Mine was a very powerful family dynamic and thus my intention was an ending to a larger 28-year karmic cycle completed.
This last earthy moon of the natural season before the spring equinox starting today, is in the sign of Capricorn which is about the manifestation of last spring's preparation of our internal relationship with our physical existence. Capricorn also is Old Man Winter and Karma. There is a saying in Astrology:
"The seeds you planted last spring is the harvest you enjoy in a Capricorn moons cycle." Either you are spiritually starving or full of inner abundance. This moon cycle is literally feelings about being a spirit in a 'material' world which involves maturity, wisdom and personal responsibility to take care of your 'whole' self.
This moon cycle we complete the other half of the eclipse of the last full moon with a Solar Eclipse today, the lunar, feminine principle takes precedence over the solar masculine. Capricorn is about our personal responsibility to the earth and primal family relationships where the father archetype now comes to the surface. This recent past full moon in Cancer, brought our mother(ing) issues to the surface, the nurturer and care giver qualities. Capricorn being its opposition begins this cycle with the energy of the father, the wise elder, the protector. But to spice this cycle up, is this Capricorn Moon is squeezed in-between Moon (Mother) and Venus (Feminine). Sometimes with these oppositions, awakenings are ah-ha moments and sometimes they are devastating like the earthquake in Haiti, to show us just how powerful mother earth can be.
Capricorn words to mix together to set your intention this month with Venus and the Moon, two very strong female energies, goes something like this:
Grounded-Intuition;
Maturity of a Rebirth;
Withholding-Sensuality;
Conservative-Emo (my personal favorite!);
Disciplined-Love;
Purposeful-Pleasure;
Prudent-Passion;
Constant-Changes.
Combining these three planetary cosmic influences for the next 28 day cycle is literally how our actions are reflected by our feelings or the feelings of others.
Often life can be very specific about our path with our circumstances, our family, our culture, and unless we've had a longer cycle of good luck for years and things have been basically balanced for a longer period of time, then any little change can seem upsetting. The practice is: surrender eases pain, acceptance calms worry, letting go balances need. For the other half on earth who have experienced longer cycles of struggle and darkness, the cycles of light returning can begin to shine brighter.
Capricorn moons are about recognizing the natural laws of 'inner authority' and thus, these lessons transform our weaknesses into our wisdom with insightful purpose and hard work, what I call the true Alchemical process, especially during a long winters night with a Saturnian lunar influence.
Remember... Goals are our relationship to our outer world and Intentions are our relationship to our inner world.
I AM Purposeful in my Agreements with Myself;
I AM Serious about my Joy;
I AM Grounded;
I AM Responsible for my choices;
I AM Conservative with an open Heart;
I AM Grateful for my Spiritual Abundance.
Dream with Intent! M

NEW MOON
3rd and final Fire Moon:
Dreaming to expand personal understanding
New Moon: Wed Dec 16 until Jan 14, 2009
Full Moon: December 31st Lunar Eclipse & Blue Moon
Dark Moon: 3-5 days before the next new moon.

Did everyone make it through the last powerful Scorpio Water New Moon Cycle for the Last 28 days? How did your New Moon Intention last month play out? Did you gain some self-awareness of its manifestations?
We now move from a watery emotional moon this past month, into the final Fire Moon of the year and fire moons are all about purification and expansion. Building upon last moons transformation, many experienced a death, either symbolically, emotionally, mentally, physically or spiritually, so we may enter this next moon in the elemental progression with purification and more freedom from our rebirth and spiral one tiny step closer to our truer and more honest self.
Fire moons are also all about passion and in particularly healthy passion because anything that is not healthy in a fire moon cycle is where we can get burned and that is painful. Fire moon cycles are about our passionate energy, about the light; where our previous moon was about our dark where one must at least begin by saying one 'has a shadow self' in the first place in order to truly recognize the purification and expansion process of their light. This is the dance we do moon(thly).
Sagittarius or the 3rd Fire moons are also about our personal and collective belief systems, which is a very evolved depth of both our persona but also about our rigidity when we experience distorted idealism, which stems from our primal fear to just feel. These can be contemplated upon as we personally grow from examples of our past experiences. In astrology, Sagittarius is referred to as the house of the Sun or God, because it rules theologies and philosophies and how they are blindly handed down to us through family and culture which mold and shape limitations as easily as openness. The greatest challenge this moon is about our own unique beliefs as we mature through experience are to be valued. There is nothing mature about Sagittarius; this fire energy is made to order for being the rebel, in order to break free out of our little box where we have imprisoned ourselves and that requires some powerful fire energy.
When perceptions and idealism collides, what remains is chaos energy, so with this Moon cycle we have the opportunity to burn off some excess false idealism of how we should expect our life to be or how the world to be and become more grounded in accepting that life is perfect the way it really is. This allows us to then focus inward on our own issues and the breaking of personal illusions that deeply affect our woundedness or our growth and inner freedoms.
FULL MOON
This Full Moon’s 28 day cycle will be in Cancer on Thursday, December 31st and this New Year's Eve Full Moon and Blue Moon says it all about 2010 to come and 2009, a year many would like to forget. The Full Moon in sentimental Cancer opposes the Sun in serious Capricorn and puts the primal family unit and security and safety issues on the front burner. Shedding tears about losses, though, may only perpetuate the pain since this event is a partial eclipse of the Cancer Moon, urging us to let go of the past which Cancer rules because she rules the moon. This includes every dysfunctional family and ancestral past in our genes. It's a signal to turn feelings of uncertainty into acts of personal commitment. We're building the future now, leaving less room to ruminate about missed opportunities and lost relationships or dead and worn out relationships. Take a moment to remember old wounds and then move forward with spiritual disciplines and focus as we enter the last dark moon cycle of the year (Dec Jan and February) before we enter the new nature’s year on the Spring Equinox.
We all have something to learn from a fire moon and as we set our New Moon Intention today to begin the passionate dance with life through the self towards the Winter Solstice and her completion of 2009. Hold dearly what you have learned this year, for next year, you will find even more beauty and challenge, for the two can never be separated.
Some Example of Fiery or Sagittarius New Moon Intentions:
I AM freedom
I AM balanced in my expectations
I AM open-minded
I AM expanding and growing
I BELIEVE in myself
I LEARN new aspects of myself
I DREAM with Passion

2nd of the Water Moons....
"Dreaming with our Soul"
Nov 16 at 1:14 pm (cst) until Dec 15, 2009
Full Moon December 2 at 1:31 am cst.
Well this Scorpio moon was my 13th year and it started off wit the Suicide of my sisters best friend, and friend of the family, who is 65 and lost her son three years ago, and my son going to jail for a past life soul debt. A death and a rebirth. Scorpio Moons are a reflection of our personal Soul and the hidden secrets and strengths, both positive and negative. The Soul as Emotional Body, the third and deepest trinity in reverse of Mind/Body gives the personal sub-conscious or personal underworld releases or an entrance.... we are allowed to see what our Soul is made of for the next 28 day Moon Cycle.
Some are working on releasing karma, some making changes with old patterns of behavior or beliefs, some to heal issues of relationship to people or the physical world, and others trying to create a new dream after the healing journey is completed. During this late fall, when we play with the Moon within and its outer reflections, we make sure during a ‘Scorpio Moon’ that our INTENTION is created with consciousness to expand self - awareness. I remember even today, my Scorpio New Moon intention 10 years ago. I had set my intention in the circle to reveal my 'Real Compassion at a deeper level inside' to surface.
The next morning, a woman hit my brand new car I had purchased and all I could do was sit in the car and laugh, because I was very well aware that this intention and all intentions are answered perfectly.
I got out of my car and there happened to be a police car parked at the 7-11 across the street. We both drove into the parking lot and filled out the paperwork. I asked the woman what happened? She said she heard a car screeching and looked into her rear view mirror and saw a big red truck coming at her and she had an anxiety attack. I said why at that moment when the man in the truck was only really driving 5 miles an hour and just drove around us because the light was gren. She said that last month, she had written her last check, paying off the dept of a previous accident ten years ago where both her knees were broken.
I asked her if she was alright, gave her a hug so she would stop shaking and showed her much compassion, my intent answered. Three days later my insurance man called and asked me to tell my story... I did and he said the woman who hit you had no memory of hitting you and denies it. I said calmly, well, you know how emotions and the soul are; they are like the moon which is linked emotionally with our memory. And sometimes they are in denial when things are painful.
My intention was answered that Scorpio moon, I saw just how powerful INTENTIONS are, but absolute focus and my attention on me, my learning and growing and just responding without attachment to the chaos in the world. Our psyche of inner awareness cannot increase, nor relate to the depth of our personal untouchable Soul unless we wake up and do the hard work, and must become manifested in the physical world.
Remember 'goals are physical world manifestations' the Sun. Intention is Moon, the inner manifestation of emotional growth and intelligence for only you but others receive the benefits of our feelings. In her case, it was the car accident, in mine, it was a beautiful intention and my awareness increased because of it where I can be compassionate with loss or struggle.
We walk a day dream and a night dream and I used the same symbolism for both. In this revealing New Moon Intention, her rear view mirror was symbolic of her past; the red truck, use of her fire energy and her physical body, police: inner authority; me: compassion of self and awareness [because this is what I was working on] and her, a reflection of the same issues at that time in my life. I felt at that moment I was having a transcendent moment because i had already practiced 4 years of lunar intention monthly at that time.
So take the opportunity to really dig deep this Lunar New Moon. In astrology they say: ’Do the planet or its does you’… same too with the lunar intentions, set it out there, and pay attention to what is revealed or comes in your space. As I practiced this year after year, I found that the answer came within the two weeks at the full moon, then a week, then a few days, then the next morning, and finally at the moment I set my intent… as long as it’s within you, not outside of self or about others.
Mars the sub-ruler of Scorpio, planet of action and Pluto is now in Capricorn, material wealth, finances, material gains and losses, authority, legal issues, wills and inheritances, death, sexual relationships in a Scorpio Moon Cycle because Pluto rules Scorpio and influences are of this nature.

Autumn Equinox New Moon (Libra)
October 17-18, 2009 for the next 28 day moon cycle...
Hello wise owl moon people... what happened to you two days ago? Yesterday? This morning? Did you have a dream last night at the in-between dark and new moon? The three days surrounding any new moon are fertile moments of changes, and the dark moon of Virgo, just completed yesterday, is the end of the endless summer moons, transitioning into Autumn. I went to a Pumpkin Patch with my grown daughter; met a man from Česko-Slovensko about his Shamanic book; rekindled a positive relationship with an old apprentice; let go of a family member for a readjustment period; accepted some of my sons completed karmic path, driving a tribal dancer from India to the airport. This is a moon of relationship! And a new moon of changes within our primal nature effecting all our personal past and future relationships.
Autumns new moon begins a time of re-balancing, not a building, nor a decrease of a winters moon, but the processes of reflecting our ripeness 'for' inner changes to come. Moon medicine's are internal affairs, even though this moon of Libra ruled by Venus is an external affair of human origin. Venus desires to have right relationship, but Venus herself can't seem to follow her own good expectation. She falls apart, cries, has tantrums and gets jealous. We all have a little Venus in us... In her happier moments she is joy, easy to be with and shares her excitement for life and finds balance where we cannot.
But what about the celestial wisdom of Venus, the non-human centric one? Have you ever touched nature within your meditation, your yoga, your TM? Aries is the opposing energy of Libra, Spring is the opposing energy of Autumn. What we planted last spring in our sub-conscious has now come to harvest. Sooner or later, this daughter of modern myth, has a much older one. Venus is the light closest to the earth that shines the brightest along with her sister Moon and shining forth in the darkest of nights.
She shines so bright because Libra also rules culture, the arts, the humanities, the expressions of right relationship of beauty, not only of the imbalanced collective human kind, but the inner beauty that is expressed through creativity. This is where we can express some of our personal Venus energy. Do we battle with jealousy, or paint it out in vengeful emotion? It makes no difference unless we practice and funnel our emotion into the acts of love that we choose personally. For those of us working on very deep and serious issues right now, this moon is truly about right relationships, either having boundaries that are appropriate, or making changes in personal relationships because it also rules justice and the law. Her consort Mars makes sure those laws are put into action.
We are either...
1. finding; 2. building; 3. clarifying; 4. maintaining; 5. surrendering; 6. destoying; 7. letting go or 8. alone in in human relationships... What relationship is most important right now in the last three days? At home, work, areas of spiritual need? What phase is it in? Remember, we can go through each of the eight moon cycles in one year, one month or forty years in a relationship and its always moving in some fashion in a circle. If you work on relationships with someone in this manner, then you can navigate Venus or mother earths Autumn territory with that shiney light she gives off on the horizon. Jupiter is shining in the sky just as bright as Venus for the past few months and Jupiter in Aquarius is helping everyone expand their relationships to its proper order right now, and that is not always the light or the darkness, its somewhere in between.
Sample New Moon Intentions that I am working with of what has arisen in the last day or so for me ...
* I am balanced in my most intimate relationships!
* I am supportive and loving with those I am with now!
* I am creative, artistic and express this with joy!
* I am beautiful!

Leo 28 Day Moon Cycle:
Full Moon at 13 Degrees Pisces
September 4 2009
I wasn't able to send out my New Moon in Leo (my mid-heaven) because of my travels, so I wanted to share the full moon release in Pisces in a Leo Cycle. If we combine the Fire of Passion, Drama, Creativity and Jealousy of Leo with the impersonal Ocean of Timelessness, the Inner Creative, Self Undoing Prison and Spiritual Non-Attachment of Pisces we combine the remaining of this cycle with two opposing elemental nature's of Fire and Water.
Water puts the Fire out, when out of balance, trusting that if we let go of attachments in a spiritual way of what we fear we will return to equanimity. Leo rules courage and our heart and can bring Pisces into a more calm ocean of flowing waters within, to expand beyond yet stay present. Thus our opposition for the next two weeks must express both at appropriate times. Leo wants to carry the torch of fire leading forward towards pursuit and Pisces wishes to retreat and be more silent. Both entwined together can allow us an opportunity for a re-adjustment of where our fire is too strong and where our retreat keeps us from opening up to our deeper higher self (creative) within.
The Pisces Full Moon at 13 degrees is also combined with Mars and Pluto in opposition and Uranus opposing Saturn. Our personal Moon instinct (feelings) is thus changing instinct to become aware of where our private world has some self-made judgments and fickleness. Pluto is challenging this perspective to take us deeper within our perception to our personal situations and our actions are halted by our inability to conceive solutions to the problem.
The need to change our self can be wild (Leo), or confusing (Pisces). I am feeling it very much. I buried my 13 year Leo Mid-heaven Shamans Sword that protected myself last Wednesday after I was completed with my humanitarian work when I held ceremony at the Templo De La Luna in Cusco, Peru. Now I am a Shaman and a Woman without a Leo Sword to protect myself from every unconscious shadow (that I am gifted to tap into), in this vast ocean of human drama and I can only navigate this great ocean of Pisces full moon cycle with awareness and more silence to perceive what is really happening in my personal space and local environment transforming it to Creativity.
Ah thus that makes me even more in the realms of the term: Crazy yet Beautiful Shaman. Its all necessary and a change for the next level towards 2012 that we are all stepping to at the level in which we are conscious through self awareness. Depending where the Full Moon, Mercury, Uranus and Saturn hits in your chart, is your area of concern. Mine is in the 4th house of home and family. No matter where this hits in your natal chart, know it is going to be like all moon cycles, a begining, a middle and and end of some learning this month (moon).
Set your intentions of RELEASE today wisely. Mine are during a full moon free form dance with some wild and free moon women tonight as i add the fire of creativity with the circle of this sacred dance in a spiritual form through my full moon intention releases ...
I release my completion of my old story.
I release the loneliness of my shamans life
that has effected my life life as a woman.

Cancer New Moon
July 21st, 2009 at 12:35 CDT. Phase II
Dreaming with our Ancestors unseen.
Total Solar Eclipse
Dreaming with the Ancestors seen.
August 5th - Full Moon in Aquarius 13*
Dark Moon five days before the next
New Moon in Leo August 20th
The Sabian Symbol for this Moon
cycle is at 30* Cancer:
A Daughter of the America's Revolution.
Well, here we go again, entering another 28 days in the primal watery womb from which we all emerged. This second Cancer New Moon continues our path to the next level inward, occurring at thirty degree's Cancer and reveals more depth about who we are. If you have considered the sign or the Cancer person, weak or incapable, think again! This energy is our most primal giver of life and one who sustains life through our own ancestral relationships to her. The all powerful Mother and Mother Earth.
We astrologers refer to the three stages of a human life by the mark of time, called a Saturn Return, Youth, Hero and Grandfather, Maiden, Mother and Wisewoman. Do we see the reflection of this light in the dark of the Moon's progressed Cancer which is the parallel universe within? Most astrologers do not give it equal importance, especially for women and more feminine or spiritual warrior men. Our progressed moon stages honors the maturity of our soul aspects of the self moving through the expression of family and family dis-ease, be that mental, emotional or physical.
We used to honor and value Cancer, honoring the birth name of all children by the mother's last name and her name from her grandmother and grandmothers, grandmother. Now we honor politicians, military and god's names from humans to street and city names by their actions. But where are we really from, who are our ancestors? When a woman is pregnant, the true lineage is always known and past down. There could have been many men involved in her pregnancy and therefor there are no absolutes of our true heritage. Primordial teachings now left in art, myth, song, dances and Tibetan, Buddhism and Taoism confirms herstory in current teachings. The time upon earth is now to first learn how to honor a re-education of our emotional intelligence which is 'wisdom and intuitive, creative and dreaming gifts' which is the sacred ruler-ship of both love and unconditional love in a feminine form. The mind has a higher mind called the heart and they both receive everything from the emotional bodies sacral and root chakra's mysteries.
Set your intentions wisely again on the New Moon, knowing it truly is an extension of the concerns that you've been working on 'personally' for the previous 28 days....
I will be in Chichen Itza on the Eclipse and Peru for the Month of August finishing my collective work as a Shaman. I will hold my New Moon Circle on Tuesday at 7:00 pm, then won't start up the next one till September. Have a good end of the riches of the fertile Summer of the Great Mother Earth by honoring your Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Daughter and Granddaughters of the America's Revolutions and Evolutions to come.
Say a prayer for me to add power in my work, at the Eclipse, I will need all the help I can get. The eclipse is not visible here, but visible in your Soul !

Capricorn Full Moon and
Dark Moon until July 20th
July 7, 2009 Tuesday 5:21 am CST
Lunar Eclipse July 7 5:39 am CST
I don’t get –
I don’t get furious.
No! I get cool.
I get angry!
But not furious!
Yeah!
True
Those who work with me on the New, Full and Dark Lunar phases is a passionate commitment to our internal reality expressed outwardly in our actions. This Full Moon in Capricorn is finishing up what you started on the Winter Solstice. Think back and 'remember' last December... living a lunar life is all about remembrance. Full Moons in the sign of Capricorn bring about a sense of responsibility and accountability to your primal needs and the foundation of your family and extended family. Fruition six moons later are the mirrors all around you now and try to see this six months completion. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere then yours would be the opposite: Set your intentions of the season appropriately and in six months your fruition will complete. Be patient with yourself and kind in this full and dark moon cycle. Work matters also are to be reviewed to really face the inner needs of your 'inner' stability in this changing or should I say retreating and less productive world which is difficult for some, but the cosmic alignments of the star influences do not stop for our personal needs, so we must attend to those with some sense of awareness.
Cut back on your goals and try to find some inner peace with the stage you are at in life. There is no rush to any sort of interior work, you have all the time in the world. Neptune is going retrograde July 17th and for the past six weeks on my computer, my calendar has permanently froze with that date in the icon - the universe speaks to me loudly in many forms of communication, both nature and human made and I am sharing the all's communication with you. We will enter a new shift once Neptune retrogrades on the seventeenth and things will become a bit more lucid, a bit more of a thinning veil and I experience these very powerfully. Meditation always helps for you to bring yourself to an equal balance of what is happening in the dreaming of this planet mother of ours.
When we realize that we are spirits in a material world, Moon in a Cancer cycle for 28 days shows us where nurturing is out of balance or in harmony. Capricorn is the physical result of this expression what the Cancer Moon feels inside, so your mirrors will be present as we enter the dark moon phase in the next two weeks.
In early astrology, the ascendant, the moon and the sun were called the 'Wandering Stars' and I like this term equally to the newer name of luminaries. Be like a wondering star and let go on this full moon cycle of control, even if its just one small internal aspect that results in fulfilling your needs. Cancer Moons always brings up the stinky, the moody, the irritable and the crabby crab and this is our natural energetic communication through the voice of emotions that shows us where we are exhausted, tired or in need of doing more 'nothing'. That is really difficult for some.
For those like me who have made the lazy, laid back dreamer a lifestyle without any attachments in a positive way, its just another day and not a challenge. For those new to internal medicine coming first rather than external realities filled with ideas, philosophies and old theologies it won't be so easy, so practice, practice, practice. For the young, under thirty, its about more playtime and making sure you don't get trapped in baby boomer ideology of Capricorn. So set your intention to be personally responsible for your body, mind and emotions, but let go of more responsibility in order to experience your pleasant emotions.
There is no collective change unless each individual adds to it personally and watery moon cycles with earthy fullness can help you see clearly.

New Moon in Cancer Cycle including Full Moon article above.
Primal Dreaming June 22 - July 20
New Moon 01 Cancer: Monday June 22
Full Moon 15 Capricorn: July 7
Dark Moon: 4 days before next
New Moon at 29 Cancer - again!
Making love with the Solar Gods is a dance of our waking life and actions in this world. Dancing with the Lunar Goddess is a secret garden, deeply enriched with passion, desire and need from the inside. Get ready this moon cycle, because we are entering phase one of two months in a row of Cancer New Moons! This one starts at 01 degree's Cancer and next month at 29 degree's Cancer. A double dose of our primal nature! This is a special moon cycle because there is a yin, yang coupling. Couple number one is Mars and Venus at 16 degrees Taurus; couple number two is Uranus and Juno at 26 and 27 Pisces and couple number three is Saturn and Ceres at 16 and 14 Virgo and it sets the star intentions at the basic primal Maiden, Mother, and Grandmother needs combined with Youth, Hero and Grandfather action!
Mother Moon reflects Father Sun's Light don't forget and this reflection is our human mirror as the Buddhist, Indigenous, Taoist and Mystics teach. Depending if your a man or woman or combo of both, we chose a reality based on a... "Night follows Day or Day follows Night reality." If the sun shines dark or projects in a false nature, we still call it Light, but our lunar sensitivities become damaged, angry, over-sensitive and creates chaos because truth must be felt. Hence the Pluto in Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn Youth. Oh Mother Cancer, what are you sending us? Your light and dark mirrors are all your relations this Cancer cycle for the next twenty-eight days.
Living without boundaries is like a fish out of water gasping for life and Cancer must protect her security, her stability, her self respect and dignity. Thoughts and feelings become either the great spiritual partnering in relationship or one's greatest enemy. Does that sound like Mars and Venus? It does... but our primal Mother, Father version. If mom and dad fight or are silently cold, then surely their children Mars and Venus will follow by example. Cancer Moon must work with her reflective and reflective nature in order to truly see what is happening in her life. Capricorn is Cancers exterior mirror, because everyone knows by now its Cancer who is concerned with security, feeling needed and the ability to support and take care in this physical world. Self respect around purpose and boundaries will manifest this month so pay attention to your primal relationships. Set your New Moon Intention wisely for the entire month. Remember when setting intentions, its about our interior reality. Solar is our exterior, Lunar is our internal that leads to true enlightenment through inner self awareness.
This is a Fire, Water combination with Vesta conjunct the Moon. Vesta is the core of where the word Investment comes from and look what happened to everyone's investments over the past three years! Vesta is also where we invest in our self and how we respect this regardless of consequences, unlike the Moon who feels rejection so much deeper. Vesta working with Moon this moon cycle is all about Vesta's passion to protect her sister Moon, unlike Venus who would drop sister Moon in a minute for a little attention from Mars.
Now combine Sun, Moon and Vesta all in Cancer this moon cycle and we have a very personal mirror to our basic needs of meeting our needs first for our own health and of course in opposition is Pluto, the great energetic symbol of change (death) bringing a personal mirror to where we mother or smotheri ourself or others, our children, partner? If you find yourself drained at all this month, take a good look at the relationships patterns so you can nurture and take care of yourself, otherwise the old Cancer martyrdom becomes oh, so present.
I was given a gift yesterday, a story from Finland sent via my friend Anna, a Finnish Artist who shared with me the mythology of the Runes. It illustrated the primal Cancer and Capricorn wisdom. Capricorn at the Full Moon in two weeks, say as keeper of Time "I always follow Cancer, because she is Time itself" and Cancer always replies: "I will nurture you if you learn to respect and become accountable to mother and mother earth."
With that, I share the gift...
Lemminkäinen’s Mother
”Lemminkäinen’s Mother” by Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865–1931) is the myth found in Kalevala, a Finnish epic compiled of ancient folk tales in form of rune songs – although the editor, Elias Lönnrot (1802–1884), did make some alterations on those when weaving them together.
Lemminkäinen was a red-haired (some say blond) solar hero and a pretty boy, much fond of warfare and women – even his name suggests that he was a lover (“lempi” = love). In the lore, it is mentioned that his dashing good looks and his cleverness were the result of his diet of plenty of fish while he was growing up!
He did not come from a mighty family, but he was highly ambitious, and with his fiery sword he stole for his bride Kyllikki the beautiful noble birthed daughter of Saari (The Island). Poor Kyllikki was not delighted to have a warrior for husband; so they made an agreement that Lemminkäinen would not go to war if Kyllikki would not run about the village but stay at home as a good wife should. However, Kyllikki the strong-willed soon got bored as all Maiden's do and off she went to the village, to join in dancing and frolicking and having fun with other girls; this did not please Lemminkäinen, who in fury decided to leave his unruly wife at once, go to wage war once more, and woo the lovely Maiden of Pohjola (the North, associated with the Land of Death).
Lemminkäinen mother warned him not to go, for in a dream she had seen him getting killed there; but the quick-tempered son snapped that he didn’t believe in dreams or any old wives’ tales. As the mother kept on lamenting, Lemminkäinen – who just then happened to be brushing his beautiful hair – angrily threw the hairbrush on the floor and stated that the day his body would bleeding, the brush would bleed, too.
Lemminkäinen travelled to the faraway land of Pohjola, the North and went asking the old Mistress of the North for her daughter’s hand in marriage. The ancient crone mighty of magic gave him a few quite impossible tasks to perform to show if he was worthy of her Maiden daughter; some he managed, like skiing down the Elk of Hiisi (a sacred, otherworldly totem animal, perhaps the mythical progenitor (ancestor); Hiisi stood for a sacred grove) and bridling the fiery-mouthed Horse of Hiisi, went to achieve the last task of shooting the Black Swan of Tuonela (the very realm of Death) was doomed to fail, for death would await anyone trying to kill the sacred bird. Fearless and self-confident Lemminkäinen nevertheless set forward.
On his arrival at the house of Pohjola, Lemminkäinen who also was a great magician – had chanted asleep all the men folk around, except a blind cowherd, for the tattered old man seemed too pitiable to be of any harm. However, it was this demonic cowherd who tracked Lemminkäinen to the Black River of Tuonela and with a poisonous snakes for an arrow shot the hero dead. Lemminkäinen fell into the Black River and the Bloody Son of Death with hooked fingers pulled up the corpse and with his sword chopped him up into pieces, which he then threw back into the river, one by one.
Lemminkäinen’s mother now saw that the hairbrush of her son was dripping with blood, so she took off and went to the rescue. Demeter style, searching for her beloved child – it is said that she shape-shifted into a wolf, a bear, an otter, an ant, a bee, and a hare while she looked everywhere; she asked every creature she met if they had seen her son; and finally it was the Sun that told her that Lemminkäinen lay dead in the depths of the Black River of Tuonela.
Lemminkäinen’s mother asked the magician Ilmarinen, to make a giant iron rake for her. With this, she determinedly raked through the Black River, collected the pieces of her son’s body one by one, and finally sew him back together again. However, the body remained lifeless. The mother, wise in healing, called for a bee and asked him to bring her some honey, which can be used to cure all ills. The bee brought honey from the Forest, but it was of no help; the bee brought honey from Beyond the Seas, but still there was no improvement; so finally the mother asked him to go and get some honey from the Goddess herself. The bee was hesitant at first, thinking it would be impossible, but the mother kept encouraging and telling him he could do it, so he did fly all the way up to the highest heaven and brought back some of the most special honey of the Goddess, which the mother tasted and immediately knew “Yes, this is the right kind”. With it she anointed the body of her son and successfully brought him back to life again.
According to the scholar Martti Haavio (1899–1973), the story is in the collective unconscious rather than individual.
So this Cancer Moon cycle for the next twenty eight days, will be trans-formative with both Vesta and Pluto involved with Mother Moon and Father Sun. For some, it may be life changing, for others it will be slight. If you try to open and see with your Moon eyes, you will see much deeper into your own primal relationships with your children, your parents, your co-workers and your business and home affairs this moon cycle. Wake up and smell the Coffee, Organic Juices and Paradise's Nectar of living a Lunar Life!

This past moon cycle in Taurus/Scorpio... I have been waiting for my entire karmic healing spirit journey to complete and it was a long three year door closing. The closing gate of my south node in Taurus in the sixth house, which contained my past lives, its healing journey entwined with my karmic dept in order to be free in my soul and 'remember' myself as a shaman. Golden Eagle landed on my porch last week in the dark moon of Aries, with a headless serpent in its mouth, a headless snake on the ground and one innocent yet wise living one left on the ground who looked at me saying: "Do you understand and get this what is happening?". I did and it is the Eagle Serpent wisdom I carry forth into my purpose.
I completed this Taurus/Scorpio Moon cycle with personal and collective joy, pain, shame, under balanced, sincere, forgiveness, laughter, many tears, a purpose, a thousand releases and letting go's and finally the death surrenders. Now I enter this moon with all of you at the place of my official 'rebirth'. In my rebirth yesterday I held a dreaming of art and myth animal workshop that was full with my two apprentices supporting and it was both fun, powerful and fulfilling. The journeys we took brought both this earthy Taurus dark moon and the Journeyer of Gemini New Moon into full experience. I ran an astrological chart for the group at the Artist Guild that participated and it was 0 degree's ascendant in Leo with the south node conjunct the ascendant. All of us, although having never met in this present world, have all known each other as artists before and Gemini brought us together. Gemini connects communication in all kinds of way and this cycle it was an artistic and shamanic expression.
Gemini Moon cycles are the opposition of formal and university knowledge, it is the knowledge that is spiritual and within that is to be experienced... the inner path of wisdom from knowledge, journeys beyond ordinary reality and intuition into the other worlds. Most people who write about this moon cycle focus on the outer world, faxes, computers, retrogrades, human communication and those are all good, and the male side of Gemini, the Trickster. I focus on the inner feminine Gemini, the Coyote, the Wolf, the Dragonfly, the communication with Animals, Plants and Insects and Avian. That is the feminine side of the internal soul of Gemini, with the internal soul of communication of all living spirit. Mother Earth being our greatest to communicate with.
It was such a full moon cycle for me in Taurus/Scorpio that I am going to rest up in this Gemini cycle and just allow the breath of the wind to flow through me. That will be my intention:
I am the power of the wind and communicate with all spirits of the natural earth.

Dark Moon: 4 days before the next: Gemini
Happy Mother Earth Day and Happy Mothers Day to come, everyday! The whole previous 28 day Aries/Libra moon was so filled this month I just had to share this moon cycles story. Usually I move into this moons description explaining the energy of a Taurus and Scorpio Moon Cycle for the next 28 days. Today, the last week of the Aries Libra Cycle pretty much set the tone for the next cycle, especially the last few days.
In the Aries Libra Moon cycle last month, first was my trip to Memphis to support completed apprentice Jennifer's Rattle workshop with my other apprentice Giovanna. We also did a dream incubation for Jennifer. In one of my dreams that night, I held an empty red shiny purse, which she gave me one she had that next morning, because she is selling everything to move to Maui. It was symbolic because it is exactly what is was! Next was when we drove home from Memphis to Saint Louis and I saw two dead deer along the highway and since things always run in three with me, the next one I saw was a dead Elk? There are no Elk in ARKANSAS of all places I thought ... at least not in this world. This too would come.
Two days later my friend Ravenwolf and I did a five hour ceremony on the sacred Cahokia Mounds when two bus loads of 12 year olds, one from Wisconsin, the other an hour later from Kansas as they came over to join our sacred circle and we had children all around us which was such a blessing. We shared with them our teaching medicines. When all was completed, Ravenwolf took my drum and started drumming and went into his sacred trance. I went into an hour and a half of chanting animal sounds trance, wordless voices for a long time, when what appeared across the field I saw with my eyes open, was a magical Elk who came into this world with a bright shiney red blanket on its back.
Some of you who have come to my Shamanic journeys have heard the stories I have shared of my totem Elk [also painted on my drum] that comes into assist as a helper for the groups those nights. Well this time, its gone from dreamtime and literally come into this world.
This morning I set my intention for the next moon cycle which is in Taurus starting tonight at 10:30 pm. So if you wish to work with the precise time to set your intention out to the Universe, speak it out then! Taurus rules not only nature but the primordial magical nature which I am very blessed to be a witness in the past week. My intention for Aries moon was: "I am Nipping it in the Bud." meaning to address all things right away that are presented, in the present moment, with self and others. Of course the teacher gets her teachers too and the day before yesterday, a police officer nipped me in the bud with a 15 minute lecture on being patience and I never said a word, just listened to him patiently go on. I am sure he had mother issues. Then he gave me the ticket, got in his car and kept honking his horn for me to move out of his way faster!
I gave him a gift of silence and listening deeply as a gift to myself, to him and everyone that day from there out, who he would pull over and not project his anger, since he was sharing his mother issues with me. I could handle this with balance, grounded ness, calm and focus. This to me is the Taurus moon since the Taurus / Scorpio axis this moon cycle rules money, values and other peoples money and resources and values in a physical way.
Yesterday I took my last $100 dollars to pay my ticket [learning from a great teacher known as a cop and hence my shiney red empty purse] I was walking across the shopping center parking lot to get a money order and purple martins were flying all around me. It has been a week since the Magical Elk came to our Ceremony and at that moment I had a flashback when I remembered the Purple Martins came right before the Elk. About six years ago, the purple martins also announced Red Cloud who came into my dreamtime that night and for a few months and taught me to shape shift. So on this Taurus Moon one of my intentions is:
I am Blooming. I decided for the first time to stay with a nature theme in my intentions this year, Aries being the first to Nip it in the Bud. My second intention is: I am Grateful.
In your walk with the Taurus New Moon cycle for the next 28 days, pay attention! Although it takes a long, long time to heal to the core, heaven awaits at the end of that journey. Mine was 28 years of Black Jaguar Medicines. But like my last week with the Magical Elk who came into this world from the other worlds one is granted Mother Earths beauty in more ways than the physical, she also carries magic in a Taurus new moon. Let her show you. She showed Muhammad who rode the horse El Boraque to the other side, to get his teachings which were about dreaming in its original and Buddha the Tibetan who rode his white Ghost Horse to receive some of his. I have already been over to the other sides many times as a Shaman and now in my Slavic Siberian Russian Bohemian Polish Ukrainian traditions, I too enter the next level of the Dreaming!
As Hayzoose once said: “Go among Wolves, wise as Serpents and be as harmless as Doves." and seek your Dreaming, Taurus and Scorpio Moons show you what needs clearing and focus to work on personally and your collective mythos!

Full Moon in Libra
April 9, 2009, 5:56 am CST
Dark Moon: 4 days before the next: Taurus
When I work with the moon I work with it as the emotion behind the hot sun of what is hidden until exposed. The most potent experience we can work with in a Fire Moon such as Aries this month is purification and clarity of action in both its yin and yang expression. Night and Day, Good and Evil, Light and Dark, Yes and No expression without judgment that either is bad. Its all good.
Many things dissolve in a dark moon phase of Pisces and this last moon cycle over the past week are the same experiences over the last 14 new moons that I have consciously worked with them. The only difference is that they go deeper and deeper and deeper within my experiencing. For that I am blessed. Are they easy? Never, they are perfect!
In our path for the next 28 days, Aries will point you in the direction of Justice, Balance, the Sword of the Warrior of what does and does not work for you in your life, unconscious or conscious, understood or not for Aries is the great warrior and Spiritual Warrior in all of us. He allows us to express our anger and if we do it without judgment and understanding our choices, we understand it. If not, we fly and bounce all around in relationships since Libra is the opposing sign. This is Venus and Mars at their worst and best.
In that warrior within - if it is done for the goodness of all concerned, our body will not hurt in the next 28 days. If we made fire choices and get burned, we shall surely carry its headache, for Aries rules the head. Libra is the opposing yin air energy of Aries yang fire and sometimes our pride and jealousy or will can be off balance. We are both the passive warrior and aggressive diplomat. And I use these two oppositions in polarity because the yin always seems to be associated with passiveness and the yang with action or aggression .. but this is not true.
How many times has someone docile projected their own unfulfilled aggression passively? I see it and experience it everyday. How many times does the aggressive active warrior pay for his or her actions in karma... everyday just like the pacifist. So in either case, predator or prey, there is only one coin with two sides looking for each other.
In the end, its only a learning and what is needed in the moment for changes towards right relationship with self. For if you cannot have right and balanced relationships to your choices and actions, then who can you truly authentically have them with? Your dog? Your cat? Your 95 year old Uncle? We must start with our first step of Aries to set the Spring off with integrity and self respect. Which means fighting your battles with authenticity and dignity. Acknowledging your 'open enemies' of Libra with some self respect.
Think back 4 years ago on your New Moon Aries evening and what did you learn in that moon cycle? Most of you cannot remember. It was always about you all along looking for you in others. Did they disappoint you? Let you down? Betray you? See clearly the mirror of life and you will find your inner guidance through those experiences. And that warrior or passive self, was really you looking for what is hidden in the moon, to exposed to the full light.

I received this email today from a beautiful girl who wrote me and just had to let it be my Pisces New Moon monthly message from her to me to you! Perfection...
"I remember things, I've been remembering things my whole life, but I didn't realize that I was remembering. I thought it was just day dreaming and night dreaming until I began getting revelations through what I can only describe as explosions of energy into my heart. It happen every time I'd pose a quandary of deep, inner truth to myself. These thrusts came when I would have questions of doubt about myself and the possibility of having more power than I've been accepting due to fears ...
I've journeyed to the point of connecting many dots now; however, I KNOW for certain that there are many more connections that will help me to remember the full scope of my being. I feel that everything I touch, every room in which I walk, every living and even inanimate thing in which I come in contact, shoots me a memory message, providing a snippet of my mythical story, the universal one... "
For your New Moon Intention ...
Having faith and believing in "yourself" even if everything in life is showing you a difficult time...
Perfect Imperfections (Virgo the perfectionist is the opposite sign of Pisces)...
A moon cycle for resting, relaxing, letting go of time and the clock as much as you can ...
Understanding the inner meaning of your Dreams...
A closer connection to Spirit through the Inner disciplines of meditation, massage, anything to help you relax...

Full Moon, Monday Feb 9
Dark Moon, 3 days before
the next New Moon.
Aquarius New Moon under the lunar 28 day cycle has enough energy to go around for each one of us! My apprentices and I went to Memphis this weekend to do a powerful healing journey for Jennifer with her friend April. We loaded up our sage, rattles, drums and blankets and headed for the Sacred Mounds of Memphis along the Mississippi River. Of all the sacred teachings I decided it was time to do the Latvian Grandmothers primordial healing where we rubbed our bodies all over Jennifer to bring her that primal mother energy. So right out for all to see, on top a large mound, we sang, we danced, we cried and we held her down to the primal mothers mound with our mother energy and loved her at the level of sacred touch... she began to laugh after all her tears had been shed.
This is my path, both its light and dark, its yang and yin, its near and far. This moon is Aquarius is about this kind of freedom on so many levels, free enough to love her at the level of the ancient grandmothers medicines, here on earth, here with real people, with real problems, with real abilities to rise and let go of that which no longer serves their heaviest of burdens. Following your dreams means trusting your experiences beyond your ordinary gifts. But this can also be a very dangerous path and requires courage. The full moon of Leo this month is about such courage to see where you can transform the powerful energy of drama into creativity, to see where your jealousness can actually connect to others and to let go of what needs to be released. Life shows us loud and clear in our life where we need to change and how to do it... are you listening and can you really see it?
Those who follow a god, the light path of knowledge as king... move over, I am alive and living a path of ecstasy of a living spirit, and this comes at a great price, usually pain before its learning's are finished and the fertility is vision and dignity with enough wisdom to listen to [the inner] spirit, listening to the animals and birds that fly in the sky, the rivers that runs deep and the tree's that stand silent.
If you practice this, you will learn more and also be judged greatly. I do it because I am free and its easy for me to hear others outrageous experiences, the touching of their personal mystery and where they find courage to yell rather than sing, to scream rather than meditate, to hug rather than bow. I give full attention to such wisdom, clarity and support, because to me, its a beautiful way to be. The seasons carry half this medicine and half of the other and if we live with the dark and the light we are free from others judgments. In fact, with my apprentices, they mesmerize me so with their beauty, their hardships, their struggles and loneliness, because I know they are really just 'diamonds' in the rough, where no one else sees, I see them shine so brightly it blinds me and believe me when I tell you I have been blinded by the real mystery.
If you wish to become 'experienced' and make 'connection' to your experiences this month welcome this visionary and anarchist Aquarius moon and do something regardless of the consequences. In my world, God, she takes insults, she stands in front of unconscious ridicule, she accepts rejections, she looks straight into the eyes of harsh judgment and jealousy around her, she shakes her head and hangs up on people and walks away from low vibrations... Why? Because all is promised in all the great teachings and one must have enough courage to walk them everyday, to know truly first hand what it means to KNOW that god and goddess is within and no where else.

Capricorn New Moon
December 27 thru January 25, 2009
"Grounding your Dreams with Nurturing"
What can we say about the beginning of the next three moon cycles of Winter coming up with a planet line up like we have today! Every planet in our solar system plus the asteroid goddesses (minus Saturn and Uranus) are all squeezed in a tight group in the signs of Capricorn and Aquarius. I would suggest enjoy some stillness and a touch of nature to connect to one's dreaming! The Capricorn new moon this month is also conjuncting Pluto, the Queen of death and rebirth, who rules our psyche, our inter-relations of karma and feelings of penetration.
Capricorn too is a heavier and darker energy compared to most moons, but with Pluto involved we can experience a deeper, more powerful month of awakening or transformation that may feel like stress, but is actually a change that is deeply grounded and very fluid. If you would combine two symbols that are powerful for both Capricorn and Pluto it would be: Oil Spill. So look at the thick psyche’s oil hidden deep in your dreaming and imagine Capricorn opening up the earth to let it spill forth for fuel or a new rich energy source.
Our last moon cycle was in Sag and I heard more people who were having car problems, hence a 9th house Sag played out in its opposition of a 3rd house Gemini which rules cars. So this moon we must include Cancer with our Capricorn moon cycle and remember that life is playing out your drama or nurturing needs in a Cancerian way this month. Cancer rules our home, our mothering issues, our need to belong to family and our decisions about the health or dis-ease of such. So set your intention with Cancer and Capricorn's wisdom to allow yourself to be open with family problems that need to be let go, resolved, addressed or brought out in the open. Its a perfect moon for such changes.
Capricorn words to mix together to set your intention this month with Pluto goes something like this: Grounded-Intuition; Mature-Death and Rebirth; Tenacious-Sensuality; Conservative-Emo (...my personal favorite!), Disciplined-Transformation, Ambitious-Pleasure, Prudent-Passion, Constant-Change. Combine any words anyway you wish to help you hit the target of your inner changes that you desire or that needs more awareness and expression through focused intent.
With Sun, Moon, Pluto all in Capricorn this is similar to the Devil and the Tower cards in the Tarot where we bring struggle and change together to release unwanted burdens of our psyche's past to gain wisdom. And the only way to gain wisdom is to see what is internal first hand in the outer world as a complete mirror. Often life can be difficult or cycles of pain can be long, unless we've had a long cycle of good luck for years and things have been basically balanced for a long period of time, then any little change can seem huge. In my reality, only surrender eases pain, acceptance that we do not control anything when changes come. We only have an ‘Illusion’ that we control things when times are good.
For the other half of those on earth at the same time, they have experienced dark cycles that's lasted twenty or forty years and the cycles of light are beginning to return and shine. This is my case, and everyday I am just amazed of my new life in 2008 and I look forward to 2009, but this is because I know in my personal life I have completed a death cycle that lasted 28 years and I am still alive, healthy, and yearning growth and emptiness at the same time.
This Capricorn moon can be about transforming our weaknesses into our wise self-servant, one step at a time, what I call the true Alchemic life processes of the real spiritual teachings of the dark that search inward for the light in blind faith, especially during a Winter Solstice and Saturnian moon.

SAGITTARIUS
Dreaming to Expand
our Understanding!
New Moon:
Nov 27 thru Dec 26, 2008
Full Moon: December 12th
Dark Moon: 3-5 days before
the next new moon.
It is everyone's job on earth to teach you about the Light, about Love, Sweetness, Good Girl and Good Boy Realities.... I am here to teach you about healing medicines, about your inner hidden demons, about your repressed shadow, anger or jealousy and bringing them to the fullest recognition and the great nurturing in order to alter your self-awareness. Why?
To transform, experience a death, symbolically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, so you may someday become free within your rebirths, and spiral one tiny step closer to your true light which is at the core of your layers of darkness. To truly find the light, one must at least begin by saying one 'has a shadow self' in the first place.
Sagittarius is about belief systems, but also about idealism that is to be expanded and contemplated upon. Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth has been in Sag for fourteen years and today on Thanksgiving it is now completed in its purification of where you have let your idealism become out of control or in a state of illusion which needs to be grounded. We now enter the real, the physical, and the reality of the most grounded energy there is: Capricorn …. For the next fourteen years. If you are the kind of person that cannot connect to the unseen, the symbolic and emotional realities of Pluto in Sag for the last fourteen years, then it is now your turn to see in it in the physical reality of the waking dream. Are you prepared to see the collapse of the United States financially and be at peace with that?
If not, it would be wise to start or continue a deeper practice and do it everyday to find inner peace and acceptance because there is nothing to hide in the energy of Capricorn. This weekend my apprentices and I went to journey in a cave, we went to do a sacred fire dance and dream incubation on the eve of Thanksgiving. We journeyed, we gave thanks and we dreamed our healing journey to accept reality and truth the way it is, not the way we wish it to be. We accepted in our ceremony that the earth is changing and that we can find courage, strength and compassionate in our everyday life. And to work at the changes in our personal life which reflect our ability to accept the truth the way it really is.
The Spirit of the Condor has come to me as a Shaman and Dreamkeeper in the past month of the Scorpio Moon. For the past 13 years I have accepted the medicines of the Black Jaguar to accept that Grandmothers medicines are real, that the Dark Yin is the healing medicine of the emotional body and I am proof in my life. Now I accept that graduation and a greater acceptance on a collective level of the Condor Medicines which I will now begin to learn from spirit and the earth and her consciousness, from the ancestors of earth and the Great Spirit.
We all have something to learn this moon in Sagittarius and from here forth we begin the dance towards the Winter Solstice and the completion of 2008. Hold dearly what you have learned this year, for next year, you will find even more challenges and also beauty. For the two cannot be separated.

NEW MOON CYCLE IN
SCORPIO
Dreaming Desire!
OCT 28 - NOV 26, 2008
NEW: Tue Oct 28 2008:
5º Scorpio 6:14 pm CDT
FULL/TAURUS: Thurs, Nov 13
DARK MOON: 3-5 days before
the next new moon.
Scorpio moons are always filled with the energy of intensity & passion, death & rebirth, success & failure, all pulling at our Souls reality. If I combine spiritual and healing, I get… Spiraling! and these spiral medicines of a Scorpio moon touches personal depth, personal need, personal passion and desire and how it is expressed or repressed. We don't have control over much in life and Scorpio is always our gentle reminder. So give it up, let the tantrums release and relax!
We start with Halloween, which is our festival to show both shadow and light as an acceptable reality one day a year. I think this is why me, my friends and family all celebrate it because it honors that part of us that is beyond ordinary and that the dark night of the soul does have a creative side to endure change. Passion out of control or passion not being fulfilled can be very scary and evil in the real sense when we look around us. Dramatic as life is or as ordinary as it appears to be, death and rebirth medicines this moon have to do with the opposition of grounding one's self with the earthy energy of Taurus by the full moon. All reality flows through such oppositions and we experience ’feeling satisfied with real releases in one form or another.”
What if we were to dream a new dream in which we allowed ourselves to
be human and really laugh, really dance, really cry and really be frustrated
with great passion and acceptance? I've been "spiraling" so long I forgot
which was is up and which way is down until I get entrapped by my own attachments
and then again I must free myself each day like the Scorpio serpent who sheds its skin.
We all have emotion/desire and when these are not met, open another door,
try something different, see another opportunity in a new way. Spiritual-healing
work is a spiral dance of frustration and inner peace with a dash of harmony
and loathing all rolled up into one and to make it one without the other
is only seeing the glass filled half way. This is the emotional body, our
Soul and unlike the logic, form and rationality of the minds body it is
an ever changing reality and this moon cycle is our proof.
Dancing, singing, drumming, running are a few expressions for release that gives the internal medicines time to transform, while for others retreat, meditation, stillness and hot baths are the best medicines. Try to remember all your past Halloweens and you will remember what it is you need during this season. When I was young and would saddle up for a hunter-jumper lesson in the late fall, there was always a feeling of success or failure moments before the jump over the great thorny but beautiful rose bush. Out of all the times I jumped this, I was only thrown off the horse once into the thorny rose bush. Did it hurt, not really. Which jump do I remember clear as if it were yesterday?
I am smiling because I know all of you know which one… The nature in which a Scorpio moon operates under then is anticipation, intuition, intense energy and release. "Intuition" is a powerful gift of Scorpio and the price is not cheap to attain it. So use your intuition this month to sharpen your skills... if something doesn't feel right, its not. If something is frustration, it is. If something is satisfying, enjoy it while it lasts.
Questions for the Scorpio Moon: What do I desire this moon cycle and how do I feel passionate and express that. When do I truly believe my own intuition? Where do I feel safe in an intense world? Touch this and it will help you find part or if not all of a release. That can be in a sigh, a deep breath or a moment of deep satisfaction for five minutes over the next 28 days. Just like that thorny rose bush, felt deeply once in my fifteen year equestrian training.
Happy Halloween and Blessings! Mary

My intention this month is:
"I am both Passion and Intensity
which is Balanced and in Harmony."
When we work with lunar intentions, we are like a poet seeking self-awareness to understand the differences between our joy and our shadow. This is a big, big world we live in... and truthfully, the only thing we can change is our self. Otherwise raging at a TV politician who can't hear us or wasting our precious life force on 'the other' in conflict is like a blind monkey seeking nourishment from a plastic tree. This month is about Right Relationships.
Healing and it's spiritual disciplines
are to "expand personal self-awareness”
which eventually with enough dedication
and practice can lead to the expansion of
personal “consciousness” when we set
intent and pay attention to the answer.
The number one rule when playing a lunar game of the mysterious female is to: Treat yourself kindly when you have made the decision to dedicate to a healing practice that is of the internal reality to awaken. We can change anything about our self with enough practice and vulnerability in equal proportions to become aware of what "it" is that we are seeking. Practices of intention, help us see eventually with our own eyes what everyone else has always seen. This is the basis of the Buddhist mirror principle, seeing clearly a mirror of what another reflects back, both positive and negative.
Libra Moon cycles are perfect for this because the territory of Libra is right relationship and this mirror is an opposition to Aries the God of War, which means the inner warrior and the inner battle are both hidden and expressed in behaviors unconscious until exposed.
If you hurt your finger in a drawer, how do you respond? With anger, with tears? When we play 'right relationship' game with others with emotion, we go inward to our emotional body and when we sense something from another’s psyche, we pay attention to our responses, not theirs... just like the pain of the smashed finger. This is one stage of becoming conscious. If we experience a Libra moment that brings anger or tears then we must pay attention to our tender emotions and honor them. Those who get angry don’t usually honor themselves as much as those who cry. But both need validation.
In order to heal our karma, which is the deepest level of the soul which sits at the bottom of the greatest ocean, we start with the surface layers of the ocean with awareness of our journey inward setting intent and then seeing how it surfaces. Awareness, then integration are the keys without self-judgment or judging others. This is a daily practice. After all these years of working with my mirrors and looking for my own darkness and shadow chasing and then finding it, feeling it and healing it, I have learned from experience its about validating "Experiences, Oppositions and Self-Compassion".
If we only pay attention to the light, we will never truly reach the light. In order to the reach the light we must swim the long ocean into the dark with acceptance, eventually finding the seeds and core issue of it's karmic origin in the soul [emotional body]. This is the most difficult work on the planet today, to keep going deeper and deeper without any validation. We need each other, even the most stinky, difficult and crabby among us to show us our shadow side. Meaning that if your angry with someone, your honest about that, rather than thinking its not perfect behavior and keeping quite until it tears at the fabric of your physical or mental bodies. Or if your crying all the time seeking true compassion for your tears, which allows one to make difficult choices rather than remain in the stuck position.
I was able to see very clearly my mirror with the two who crossed my path in the past few days as I embraced this passive aggressive behavior in both the other and myself. As a shaman I can see deep into the darkness of a persons unconscious, this is why I delved into mine for so many years in order to heal a s number one priority in my life above anything else. This journey to the shadow is not about being perfect, it is about awareness and its frightening when we begin to get to the karma. I saw the two sides of my power this week, with the dark one in which with practice I walked away in silence and restrained my energy, and with the other, I spoke my truth without fear of judgment and groundedness.
Tips for a New Moon 28 day cycle in Libra:
Listen without interruption unless the other person
is projecting their shadow or being passive aggressive
without being conscious about it.
Just practice Breathing
deeply ten times in a conflict,
it works the fastest.
Feel before you think and then speak
Compromise with others who compromise,
the others let them go.
Strict boundaries without compromise to
protect one's self was physical, psychic,
emotional, and mental abuse is absolutely
calling loving and respecting the self.
Practice non-attachment, this one is
difficult but with years of practice
it gets easier.
Remember the difference between
what is a "Universal Truth" and "My Truth” ...
both are correct and the wise know
the differences.
Declare "Open Enemy" of yours... This is
sending a message to your sub-conscious
that the person is someone who can hurt you,
and at the same time that they are a mirror as well.
Gossip is Gossip.

MOON CYCLE IN VIRGO
The Earthy Dreamer!
WHOLE CYCLE: AUG 30 - SEPT 28, 2008
THE NEW MOON IS TODAY:
Sat. Aug 30 @ 2:59 pm CDT
FULL MOON in PISCES Mon Sept 15
DARK MOON Transitional 3-5 days
before the next new moon
Did everyone enjoy and learn their universal lessons in the moon of Leo with that powerful Solar Eclipse? Major shifts are happening everywhere. Did your inner child rise or did you witness someone else's? Did you meet someone new or let go of an old partner? Did something happen to change your reality and path? Did the drama of Leo appear on time and on schedule? We say goodbye to Leo and hopefully you’ve recovered or working at it or enjoyed it. All of those three seem to be our choices today.
Yesterday marked the darkest part of Leo’s moon cycle and the new cycle of Virgo begins today at 2:59 pm. This morning I made atonement in the darkest part of Leo by releasing and clearing any shadowy energy aspects of myself left this past moon cycle, so I could begin with a clear vibration of the Virgo walk upon the earth for the next month. I've been working monthly for thirteen years with each moon cycle and Virgo is always grounded and synchronistic for me.
This morning it started with a mother holding her 6 month old baby named Stella, my mothers name. They were having fun and the little child wanted to dance. I told the mother that my mother loved to dance too like your daughter and her name was also Stella. I said my mother was a Leo and if you don’t mind, what sign is your daughter? She replied an Aquarian, I replied I am an Aquarian and then the mother of the baby said she was a Leo. I replied so was my mother! Now a woman who was near both of us said what is your Aquarian daughters birth date? She replied February 8th and the woman said that’s my birthday!
I watched and observed the first few minutes of right before me, of my Virgo Moons new beginning. I can set my intention on this event and my dreams last night...
"I AM INTUITIVE AND HEALTHY AS I UNIFY MY MIND, BODY AND EMOTIONAL BODY"
Virgo is the intuitive communicator, bringing communication down to its earthiest level, unlike Gemini, which is dualistic in nature since both signs are ruled by the chatty messenger Mercury. Virgo Moons are synchronistic and intuitive and I have always noticed how Virgo people are very intuitive down to the detail if they allow such things to occur without ego.
Virgo Moons are about our healing and health and it is this energy which transcends us to see real magic. Magic is within and when we point the wand, like the Harry Potter movie, where Hermione’s powerful wand shows us magic, we should always point it at ourself as the rules of ethical karmic reasons because Virgo brings us the universe in the palm of our hand to navigate the self, not others. Virgo Moon rules our natural need of both desire and satisfaction. Service is a small aspect of Virgo moons but a lower aspect of productivity. When we remove productivity of Virgo from the scenario, we find ourself doing either what we absolutely love or hate. You be the judge in your own life.
I had a dream this week where I was a servant to a black family. Since my work is all about service of the shadowy nature of others as a shaman the dream showed me how I can give service by literally being a servant of the dark symbolically. In dream work the nature of symbolism is without ego and such work requires this understanding. There is no good or bad in reality, only the illusions that keep you separate in your own duality. So when I listen to my dream its not about black people or anything else, it’s the way the symbolism defines the story Virgo is the great story teller like Gemini and it was a great dream story in a shamanic sense. Virgo moons are perfect for my purpose, what are they for you?
Virgo energy is very caring and reflects our health and happiness and the health of others. Its a very nurturing energy, so this month love and heal yourself in the earth body of the physical and also share that love with those you care about. Try drinking only water for one week, just to see how it feels. Try adding one day of walking out in a natural settings for this moon cycle. Try volunteering if you never have or stop volunteering if you've always done it. Remember, we cannot separate health and happiness, so give it your best attempt to work on one or the other or both this moon cycle.
Love and Blessings, Mary!

For those experiencing a normal life with average things going on and nothings happening, then enjoy it while it lasts. Leo wants you to be creative and to have fun, to address the world as if you were an actress or actor. As if you were a queen or a king. Be creative, imaginative and leave the drama at home in a suitcase under your bed tightly snapped. We just don't need the drama anymore...
Now, if you are experiencing changes in your life of any kind, then I will address you with my wisdom... we started the official sacred dance of 2012 off in the first month of spring on the Aries New Moon around March 22nd. That was the Spring Equinox and it was the most powerful I have felt in my life. That was fire inside our bodies, yearning to be put forth into a world of creation. Now we enter the second Fire Moon of Leo and we must engage with others Fire...
If you think that I don't take my work seriously, you are dead wrong. When I play with the Universe, it is a matter of life and death, creation and destruction, and I hold the balance between both. I do not only play with such matters lightly nor see anything less than the fire of spirit. No judgment between the light and the dark is within me, because if one tries to separate them then one lives in illusion or is totally devastated when the dark rises to seek balance with the light.
Those who feel the power all around them now, must accept that fate leads us to our destiny, not the mind of our human nature. Nature's rules are more powerful and she can bring us to our knees. If you could imagine that you have no control then you join me in my reality. If you don't, then you are just fooling yourself and there is no fool like an old fool.
The element of Fire is Spirit and when the soul of humanity is steeped in Illusion and seeks power, fire becomes out of control and dangerous. Don't trust so easily, don't judge so easily, accept and embrace that ever single experience you have, in every single thing life brings you is for you to awaken to a greater self. I like the image of the Babushka dolls, where one fits within another and then another and then another. Our dances to 2012 are about shedding the outer layers of those dolls and getting to the core essence of our karma, the essence of our power which is empowerment, truth and love. Love without truth is shallow and empty. Truth without Love is raw and harsh. For a decade now, Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio and Taurus have a;; been through chaos which is change, so much change. Now it is our Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn brothers and sisters turn. We hold you in our prayers and let you know that Pluto, even though science cannot handle her psyche by demoting her, we know she still moves and works in and out as the source of creation and destruction. She is still very much alive and gets to the heart of the matter. She is ugly in a kind sort of way and she will remove anything that hides your souls fragments, which needs to be confronted and integrated. Not out of hurt and pain, but for the sake of rebirth and freedom.
Leo this next 28 day lunar cycle is the Fire Moon of creation and with creation comes destruction, we cannot separate the yin and yang. It is the shedding of old skin, like the serpent who draws upon a woman’s cosmic dance. Please remember that dignity and respect of Leo is at your side at all times like an angel unseen, this moon cycle. For the full moon in Aquarius coming can bring more truth to the surface about who you really are, and its ruler Uranus is the master of chaos and change with whatever arises, have dignity in how you address experience yourself this month. Treat your self like a king and queen, you deserve it!
Love and Blessings, Mary

Wow, if you were not excited and filled up completely last month in Gemini then there is more fun on the way... Last month we traveled around the Moon in the Air (our Mind) and this month we’re ready to come down to earth. Cancer Moon’s are what we call the watery Lake, where Scorpio is the watery River and Pisces the great Ocean. This is the first water moon of 2008 and Cancer holds collectively for us the archetype of the mother, who rules our primal tides, our past memories and our ancestors. Below I have both a yin [dark] and yang [light] story to share...
The Dark Shamans Moon of All my Relations
During the past moon, I was asked to do a psychopomp [clearing a dead spirit] for a wonderful woman who had one very dark Spirit causing lots of problems for other spirits on her land. When I went into dreamtime and dream walked, I saw it was a 17 year old teenager who had taken her life in 1972 who was in one of the rooms on a building on this land and she had taken a 12 year old with her. In the dream walking I had freed the 12 year old and put the 17 year old in a place of containment. This 17 year old girl spirit was like a teenager in a mall with a gun, and all the other spirits become upset. I did half the work awake on the astral planes of earth when I reached her dimension that week, and then abruptly I was asked half way through to stop.
As an initiated shaman who has traveled all realms, to stop a psychopomp in the middle of its proceedings is not a good idea. I experienced and felt and saw the pain of this girl Spirits soul having to suspend it and then return it. I did as I was asked and most light workers will try to send her to the light, but the ways of the underworld are perfect and the dogs of the underworld must take her to the Lords of Karma to bring her to the place of hell or deep in the mother earths belly so she can find her soul when she reincarnates again. Sending this spirit to the light will bring Imbalance not only to the land, the spirits, the psychopomp spirit but all the people involved who send her to the light.
The Light Shaman's Moon of All my Relations
My sister Ellen and I knew it was time... Ellen was ready to leave the good sister and begin her bad sister journey and I am ready to leave the bad sister and welcome the good sister for the first time in my life. With all our learning’s we decided to exchange the robes of liberation and drove to the Black Madonna Shrine to hold a traditional lunar full moon release.
We walked to the Shrine’s spring, Ellen to release her Maiden and Mother and I to release my Maiden. After we finished our burial, we then baptized ourselves with the sacred waters into our new life. I found out the next day that we did it on the Feast of St. John the Baptist and it just felt right to pour the sacred waters of the Dark Goddess over each of our heads and all our chakra's.
We then sat on the ground near the spring and began our fire ceremony. Ellen offered her photo's that represented each part of her life to the fire and I chanted a welcome to my new good sister world. At this moment coming from the woods were two families and as they approached we said hello. The eldest man said he and his two families present were from Poland and live in Chicago. He told us he was the one who built this Shrine in the woods. Ellen and I felt all of our Ancestors present at that moment as goose bumps touched our bodies.
Ellen went back to her prayers and all of a sudden the polish elder began chanting prayers in polish, followed by the ten family members repeating after him and they repeated this for about 1/2 hour along with us speaking out loud our prayers in english. Ellen called in all our ancestors 17 generations back and 7 generations ahead in both Poland and here in the States and this kind of magic could have not been set up any more perfect than it was.
So the Moon in Cancer will be filled with both yin and yang this month, observe and remain centered as possible so you may remain balanced. Reballance yourself from your actions. Awareness and Intention are the keys to doorways of balance within the Emotional Body Soul, the Mind, Physical Body allowing our Spirit to guide these three unified.
Blessings, Mary

" Life beats you down and crushes your soul, and art reminds you that you have a soul " Stella Adler... By now, everyone knows that I live in two worlds as a Shaman. The ordinary reality one and the non-ordinary reality. I have been practicing and teaching Intention with the 28-day cycle of the Moon for 13 years and as I travel and sit and listen in other circles, so many use solar thinking when doing lunar intentions. They use intention to manifest "physical gain or things" in an external world, which means they are really just practicing ordinary solar 'Goals'.
Be conscious of your intention work, know that lunar intention is about the disciplines and awarenesses to reach the depth of our emotional soul body rather than outward towards the mind, the sun, the light. We practice lunar moon intention each 28 day cycle to understand cycles of our inner reality and higher awareness of our EQ known as our Soul which travels.
Standard astrology says Gemini is about all forms of communication: phones, faxes, computer systems, thoughts, mercury retrogrades, etc. These are all our yang expressions of the waking dream or our Solar reality. Let us move fully into the future. I moved to the opposite side of the coin in all teachings over the past 13 years, I did the opposite, to learn the fine art of the Yin. This Yin side of Gemini as a mirror reality of thought and energy fields of an external reality beyond the veil. Whether you know it or not, we all are co-existing in two realities at one in time and one across the veil is in no-time. The yin nature of Gemini is also about communications and some of them are: interior travels such as astral or out of body experiences leaving your thoughts behind and taking your EQ with you to speak any language with any living thing in any form all from your emotional body; communication with ghosts, spirits or close encounters with both ET and the dead who live just across the veil side by side with us.
I’m all moved into my apartment now and I have been sleeping on the couch for the last two weeks. Friday I bought a mattress to spend the first night in my bedroom last night and after I hung all the curtains, straightened up and laid down to fall asleep. The moment I laid down with the lights off, I felt a "huge" amount of energy that started near my closet moving across the room coming towards me... at those moments I didn't know if I had a room full of dead spirits [my neighborhood is from the 1850's] or if I was sleeping on top of a huge vortex portal. Another five seconds went by and now waves of energy moved from the back of the room and began fluttering under me. I began to sense a rapid pounding of a heart beat, what seemed like many heartbeats, thinking is that my heart? I jumped up, went into to the living room and my heart was not beating at all as I laid my hand across my chest. I was feeling many hearts beating, maybe about 15 was my assessment and by the size of the yin energy.
In my dream the night before, I was seeing the back end of a dog/wolf going into a bedroom. I realized as I was experiencing this, it was my own bedroom I had seen in my dream and it was an underworld guardian dog. I went to get all my shamanic rattles, sages, bells and I asked the thunder beings to help too since there was a huge storm occurring at the same exact time interval as all this, ending of the storm precisely at the end of clearing all the spirits out.
Two days later I understood my Waking / Beyond the Veil merged Vision... I got clarity when i was leading a fire ceremony near Washington at Mystic Valley's farm doing a ceremony of intention for the use of the land to be used now as a retreat center for healing and learning. The group of women were yoga teachers, healers, a medium, a song woman, and a few more... after the fire ceremony Saturday, when I woke up Sunday morning and we all were at the fire again. I was sharing my experience with my friend Patty and the "Wisdom" from the Vision came light a lightening bolt...
It wasn't a portal, it wasn't 15 spirits.... it was me in my collective YIN in energy form returning to me after my shamanic underworld healing and initiations. It happened to me three years ago with the collective Light aspect after my full healing journey of mind and body, the YANG energy. I thought back then, that was it, just the light returning to me in my collective form Dah! why would I of all people who honors both the light and dark Goddess think that, everything is yin and yang. And spirits do not have heart beats.
My wholeness of energy in a collective form has engaged into me and returned. I have had many paranormal, many mystic and spirit experiences, but this truly made all my hellish healing work understood and how the collective yin and yang energy self works in the unfified field works. This is what the deer spoke to me in an out of body prophecy in 1987 and now I am completed. Before enlightenment carry water, chop wood, after enlightenment, carry water, chop wood. Wood and Water Yin and Yang Inner and Outer Mind and Emotion.
So, this Gemini moon, depending upon if your sensitivity and your ability to tap into the other reality happening at the same time as this one, it’s going to be a charged up month. For those that do not know, Spirit Guides will never cross respectful boundaries to touch you or enter you, but only lonely, desperate or negative spirits do. So people like Ramtha separate the two aspects of the self... JZ Knight says Ramtha is a walk in Master, but in reality knowing all the realms of reality and duality of dimensions as a shaman, JZ is both herself and Ramtha, her ancient self at the same time but unclaimed consciously.
Also, this morning my sister informed me this morning, that her little granddaughter who is 2 years old, keeps talking about the Dragon Hole and not to go in it. So I will be doing a portal shut down on the other side of Southwest Ave. later this month which is my work to keep the dark spirits from crossing over now anytime they want. So, Happy Gemini Travels this Month! Mary!

Dreaming with Venus with two feet
firmly on the Grounded Mother Earth!
NEW MOON IN TAURUS
Monday, May 5 - June 2, 2008
7:18 am CDT 15 Degree's Taurus
This 28 day Lunar Cycle is about OPPOSITIONS. Can you see them, can you recognize them as they appear to you. Taurus Moon is about the physical world and questions such as... Do you love your body? What do you value today that is the most important aspect of your life? What will you allow yourself to see in this physical world that is non-ordinary? What grounds you? Is it your inner peace? Is it your beautiful home or the garden that you grow? Is it your beautiful relationships with your values? Our values and self esteem cannot be separated this month and this moon cycle gives us a chance to create, let go and find wisdomabout what we value and how it effects our self esteem.
Do you value others who abuse you? A very good Venus word this month. Of course we don't, but sometimes our actions show us otherwise. As a shaman, my work is about the shadow and learning to love her. When we don't love our shadow it goes flying everywhere like helium balloon on the loose. Or when we focus on anothers darkness, we get lost in the light and our darkness is exposed while we are unconscious to it.
Our light or our good qualities do not need attention, they speak for themselves. We work with the Moon with Intention because it reflects our darkness, our jealousies, our cattiness this month. This is where we want to focus in order to first see them clearly. They are not bad, they just represent where we have denied ourselves love. Venus is about love and the denial of love equally.
This is the dark sides of Venus, which brings us out of balance if we do not practice mindful action. We do not seek perfection with Lunar Intention practices, we seek mindfulness and paying attention like a mother, to our emotional body who is our baby. Venus can be very jealous, indulgent, over-stimulating, too demanding and sometimes bitchy because she's too tired, too over stimulated, to gossipy. She can gossip and hurt other people because it only satisfies her infantile emotional body. So this month is an excellent month to focus on how much indulgence we take part in and become mindful of our energy.
Venus when she loves herself, pays attention to what her body needs because she respects herself first in order to find respect for others authentically. For how can we love Mother Earths body as women, if we cannot love our own and treat it with respect? This moon in Taurus gives us an opportunity to start or continue our commitment for the next 28 days.
We start at home, inside our own personal issues.
Remember - Lunar teachings of the Moon are about our emotional needs, our deep desires to be loved and to be loving. If you use Moon intentions for manifesting things in the physical world, then that is put simply you are not practicing New Moon Intentions, you are practicing the Minds: GOALS. Lunar intentions with awareness to increase perception is not goal orientated.
So if we focus inward, what if you put tape over your mouth, how do you think your Mind and Body would react in the next 28 days? With harmony? With rebelliousness? With fear or worry? When we do not respect our self, Venus within can become crabby. Remember that with Taurus its our inner values and focusing on those, our self esteem and increasing our awareness. Venus Libra qualities in September, October are about relationships and partnerships.

NEW MOON CYCLE IN ARIES 2008
"The Waking Dream" APRIL 6 - MAY 5
8:55pm PDT 16º 44’ and then FULL MOON in Scorpio
Sunday, April 20 3:25am PDT, 0º 43’
First of the Fire Moons and Beginning of
Mother Natures 13 Moon Yearly Season
This moon is the Aries / Libra reality of RELATIONSHIPS. ALL MY RELATIONS. See, hear, feel and recognize what comes on your path the first two weeks before the full moon. Digest the medicine even if its difficult, complicated or dark. Eat from the hidden manna, which means their is medicine and wisdom in such difficulties. When we accept this we are given a new name. The quote I received as a prophecy ten years ago was: S/he who eats from the hidden manna, will receive a stone and on that stone shall receive a new name." I ate from the hidden manna, the mystery beyond the minds idealism, and a stone fell through my ceiling as my proof. This is one of my sacred Stones.
What can I say, its SPRING - we should express LOVE in all its dark and light forms, and be aware enough to Celebrate Mother Earths Maiden Stage of blooming again in her eternal cycles of the spiral. For those on a healing journey, turn your inner eye outward and discipline yourself to first SEE your dream and then work at bringing each action each day into living your DREAM. For those who have no idea what to Dream, go see a movie and see how dreaming works, then bring it inward and create any one dream just for today. Let no one, or no thing stand in your way. Be the Aries Warrior for your Dream, Healing your Past and letting it go, and stepping into the new dream of Living in the Present Moment WITH loving your actions and treating your body with respect. Aries opposite sign is Libra, which means do all these Aries things in a Libra Way. The Libra way is RIGHT RELATIONS to the Spirit of all things and humans. If you did not practice this, then in two weeks, Life will show you EXACTLY where you need to look inward, by what is reflecting in the world around you near the full moon.

NEW MOON CYCLE IN PISCES
"MERMAIDEN WARRIOR DREAM" MARCH 7 - APRIL 6 Libra-Aries Full Moon March 20, 3rd & Last of the WATER Moons and Completion of Natures 13 Moon Yearly Season
“I cannot tell you your Dreams and Purpose, if you will be Rich, Happy or if the Love of your life is coming, all I can tell you is to LOVE YOURSELF and whatever comes to you, let it approach with Sacredness, Groundedness, Self Respect and Truth even at the cost of losing it all."
The Aquarian Moon last month should have given you a glimpse of personal vision and inner truth along with that Powerful Full Moon Eclipse of release, which would have brought to your attention where you walk in harmony and/or out of balance. Mythology in this Lunar Cycle is the Constellation of Pisces which appears as 2 fish swimming in those Aquarian Waters of Wisdom. These two moons together build to an interal cycle ending and we hold Pisces as the last Medicine Moon, connected to inner therapy and unconditional love. Pisces rules listening, self-undoing, counselling, non-judgment, non-resistant responsive motion all which helps us keep our thoughts, feelings, and focus on our inner Dream.
The New Moon in Pisces this month is about Dreaming, living life as the creative, honesty, connectedness and peace. Pisces Moons mark our completion of the larger yearly 13 Moon Cycle bringing another natural year to a close and a new beginning at th Spring Equinox Aries Moon. Sun, Moon and Uranus are Conjuncted this moon cycle and Uranus asks:
Where do I need a sense of Freedom right now in my Life! and WHAT do I need Freedom from? An addiction? A belief? From Myself and my own Undoing or Self Doubt?
Uranus/Sun/Moon wants Freedom from Self-Bondage and this requires some healthy Risk taking, Destroying the Ego's instant gratification and letting the self remain peaceful and lucid a bit. Declaring to the Heavens or a Lover or a Friend your Truth right now today, to bring a sense of Independence or unity that leads to happiness because this moon is heavily influenced by a bucket of planets in Aquarius... The planets in order are: North Node, Venus, Neptune, Mercury and Chiron.
If I take the astro-myth-symbolic language for each of these planets and make a sentence it would be:
My DESTINY [North Node] with LOVE touches all my RELATIONS [Venus] unified with my SPIRIT [Neptune] enabling me to LISTEN, JOURNEY INWARD and VOICE [Mercury] my KARMIC WOUNDEDNESS [Chiron] for my ultimate FREEDOM which is my TRUTH.
Because Pisces is about dissolve - her complexities simplify, allowing us to reflect on the past year and if teachings talk about meditation, this would be the moon to practice and all our spiritual disciplines to deepened self awareness and consciousness, be it with the self, humans, the heavens or our earth for this moon touches the dreaming, the original religion which connects us to that web of life, holding our future seeds by seeing what we have let go and healed in our past and for many what more inner work we must do.
Wisewo/men throughout the ages aligned and still align the Lunar dreaming phases or incubation as dreamtime in the 3 winter months until the spring Equinox to find completion and resolve, like taking a deep breath of release, so Spring may step forth with newness, vitality and brilliance no matter what your age. Pisces Moon cycle is the stillness before the growth.... So keep holding still this last 13th moon, dream well, and set intentions with vision for the last cycle before another rebirth. For like Babylonian times, this star formation of Pisces was associated two fish Goddesses, Anunitum and Simmah reminding us that we are a part of the great cosmic ocean here on earth and our growth or love depends upon our Emotional Body and State of Mind in UNITY. For it is LOVE and UNCONDITIONAL LOVE which holds its sacred wellspring in our Emotions called the Soul and in a Pisces Moon, she is that SOUL within us.

I will be doing Ceremony on the Cahokia Mounds that night and invite you to join in to Celebrate the return of the Primordial Grandmother wisdom back to Earth from its 2500 year absence. We will also be speaking in prayer to the Primal Forrest Wolves and the Phoenix of the Middle West Mound sacred lands.
THE NEW MOON: Visionary Aquarius… our 3rd and final Air Moon [Mental Body]. Why are Aquarian moons linked with Vision and Visionary Perspective? Because our emotion reaches it’s highest state moving all the way up to the higher mind, giving new idea's, creative solutions, humanitarian endeavors merging with any hidden or unconscious anarchy and rebelliousness within to reach personal truth.
Aquarius is the Water Bearer, Water symbolically meaning Wisdom, the Wisdom Bearer of the Observer Higher Mind which can flow when we learn to still, train and conquer the lower Conscious Mind. When the Observer or Higher mind is freed, it finds clarity, unity, stillness, image and creative vision. But like all Moons, what is blocked, repressed, unconscious or hidden must be exposed in order to flow and this requires a practice of self mastery through self observation at very deep levels.
Aquarian Moons bring CHANGE, so pay attention to what is needed this 28 day cycle inside yourself for changes to occur and what change is most important today. If we use intentions to welcome change and define it, we allow our intuitive soul to reach out and grasp what is not known yet to the mind. We do this to create a balanced agreement between our Mind and Emotional Soul body, and not a shocked when a change appears. My water wisdom is to understand that we can learn to Honor, Respect and Love CHAOS in an Aquarian Moon cycle, because that is the one big way to touch our own personal chaos and begin to see it and eventually heal [integrate] it.
“It takes intense attention and dedication to work with Sacred Lunar Intention and at this level it becomes and transforms within as Awareness at least in the mental body first, the true secret of manifestation that has nothing to do with the physical world but within the worlds of self. To reach subtle synchronistic awareness connected to the All and to live within the true nature of energy mirrored within in relationship to everything outside the self.”
For years I practice intention to heal myself, not reap what’s coming presently, which is the prophetic and dream walking gifts which are too, the teachings of the ancient lunar dream keeping connection to our Soul. I did not know back then that I would enter a luminosity of rebalancing my entire system according to the cycles of the moon in a present moment living way. Back then I held Moon Circles for women and women healers to discover the lost Mysteries of Herstory, the feminine. All my thirsts are quenched and now great peaceful, grounded and the ability to flow with Waters of Chaos [change].
My three stages of Self Awareness, Self Healing
1. New Moon [Awakening, learning, studying and connecting with like minded souls and practices];
2. Full Moon [the healing stage with every healing modality and healer, mentally, emotionally] and the
3. Dark Moon [Shamanic 8 gates of underworld initiations, spiritually, death/rebirth medicines and journey].
Aquarian Moons also are the ruler ship of Hopes, Wishes and Dreams… I asked a de-toxing question to cleanse my body and the answer was given in my dream that night… The answer was two fold Friday evening... The first was I dream walked and met Joyce Owl Woman and her daughter two days before she was to interview me on her and Joseph’s web blog-cast. I had not met her before in the physical world. The second was the answer to my question, a couple, who I have met once before in dreamtime, a mid-aged olive skinned couple and their father, and the man looked at me and said "Eat Seaweed." I looked at him and I wanted to remember when I woke up so I repeated to him and said Seaweed? He nodded.
So keep doing the work, let the Aquarian 28 Day Moon cycle support you’re Dream and Vision in your life and how you want to have a relationship with yourself which is connected to all relationships and humanity.

"Dreaming Groundedness with Emotion
Tuesday, January 8 - February 7
5:37am CST 17º 33
Pluto moves into Capricorn
January 25th till 2024
Ahh Capricorn, the only energy I have in Capricorn is my Mercury and I will use it wisely... Remember, when we attune to play with the great Lunar or MOON energy and teachings - we are 'working' with the nature of our INNER cycles. Capricorn by its very nature is exterior and our relationship to our exterior life through this reality of a physical world. The first thing I learned about Capricorn long ago still it stands today... If I did not plant seeds inward last spring to welcome changes through an everyday discipline, I shall bear little or no fruit of its reflection, when winter comes. Winter has come and this is a good Moon cycle to see where you have reached deeper since the last Spring Equinox, to heal and change because Capricorn encourages us deepen our Commitment to our Journey to BE IN THE WORLD !
The I-Ching wisdom to me, is very Capricorn and practical...
"A person in danger should not try to escape at one stroke. S/he should first calmly hold their own, then be satisfied with the small gain, which will come by creative adaptations."
"The superior wo/man acts in consonance with the way of Heaven and Earth, which is enduring and eternal. S/he perserveres long in the course and adapts to the times, and remains firm in the direction and correct goals."
Of course danger in an inner lunar moon practice are all those things that bring us grief, dis-ease, imballance and the greatest wisdom in such moments are to "Surrender. In the process of surrendering, we are not looking to see if we have surrendered, or what part of us has surrendered; it is the state of surrendering. In that state of surrendering which loosens the our grasp of our mind, the present moment awareness of surrendering is the present moment inself. Surrendering can be likened to a mantra; not really saying the word "surrender" repeatedly but being aware of that which you are doing. Consenting, an act of acceptance to change or to change within.
It is the logical course... trying to figure out why, or solving the issue of the feeling is resistance itself."

"Dreaming with our Passion and Expansion"
Sunday, Dec 9 - Jan 8, 2008
Jupiter and Pluto Exact Conj
from 1:30 - 4:00 pm TUESDAY the 11th
This past Wednesday I did a Seer reading and I only saw the woman for a few moments as she followed me into the darkened room. I sat across from her, closed my eyes and began to do the reading. After I was finished we talked for a 1/2 hour bridging the medicine. As I looked at her, she looked about 65 years old, her hair was kind of gray, unkept and wild and looked very tired. It was a good spiritual seer session. We walked out into the lighted room and I took her up to the counter to pay. As I looked at her, she was about 42, her skin was beautiful and perfect , she had gorgeous long black silky straight hair.
I batted my eyes as I saw how she really looked in this world. I wasn't confused, I just realized that I was seeing her soul with visual clarity and its true visual past the blocks from the sub-conscious from past lives and pain. This had never happened to me in a reading in the physical level so dramatic and right there, but this week, things changed, the soul was taking form right before my waking eyes, rather than my 3rd eye seer eyes in the readings.
As we stood at the counter, we chatted and she said her grandfather was a Shaman and she was very frightened of such things. After she left, i had a few thoughts...
what if 2012 and the build up to this point, will just be a true manifestation of what our true Emotional Body [Soul] and we can all see what others shadows really appear as in this 3rd dimension. It could be a frightening for most... rather than thinking the shift is something outside of ourselves....
Today, to me, this moon has brought up many finalizing of issues that i have personally been working on very hard for the past 8 years, within me to really deal with and make a final commitment to truth and clarity with proper perspective, knowing i can only truly change myself into who i desire, that of compassion, love, appropriate boundaries and letting go of taking things personal. Closing all final CONTRACTS of my previous lessons of all my lifetimes. My soul has reached its over fill point and i have had enough of entrapment and so I was given two good tests this monthto let go, even if it means never seeing a loved one or being judged by others, I am balanced, loving, detached in a positive way NO MATTER what happens each day of my life.
This may not be the words of the sugar coated reality that I remembered so long ago when i got on the path to heal all four bodies. But today it only takes minutes to clear or let go of what used to take years. To me this is soul evolution progress and I feel blessed. Now i truly can love unconditionally both myself and others without meditating myself, or any other thing.... just beings. And allow others who still hides behind their masks just be themselves on that Shakespearian stage of Karma and Drama.... living in full experience, that it has NOTHING TO DO WITH ME.
This Moon is Simple, Very Simple and Clear for the next 28 days of the Moon Cycle. What and how do we use our Emotional and Spirit Energy for? After all... LUNAR teachings about experiencing. Moon and Feeling cannot be separated, even though we try sometimes to limit our feeling, to get along with others, or make things smooth, or keep things simpler than they really are by hiding behind something that is not authentically our truth. Life is not simple; it is complicated and simple at the same time. Embracing this concept allows us to work in the real world with real issues so we can experience, transform, let go and move forward.
What does your Fire Energy create or destroy? Have you done something recently or in the past which has sold your Soul "down the river", even if it was simple? How do we handle FIRE energy with Ethics and personal Values and still love others unconditionally. It sounds like an impossible opposition and that’s what makes self awareness and doing the right thing, so blurry between the lines of the real and the imagined without taking on more Karma.
Today Pluto and Jupiter are conjunct at our Galactic Center - Degree of 28 after 1:30 pm Tuesday. Last time for this transit at 28 degrees of Sagittarius was in the year 1025. Anything we do from this point after 4:00 pm when it completes its EXACT, doubles karma, doubles its return, doubles positive actions and choices. When it comes to our SOUL and our physical LIFE, it’s a constant balance.
Great transformational energies and much personal activation is being experienced by all since The Harmonic Convergence in 1987 and the Harmonic Concordance in November 1997 and now we enter the 3rd and FINAL gate before 2012... I call it the Harmonic Contract, since there is no name out there. Letting go of old contracts with old Karma and creating new contracts with one's self so we can move in balance in the world and let go or as Rumi stated in his poem....
DIE, DIE, DIE IN THIS LOVE
The I-Ching says: When we become conscious of something, Return immediately to Equanimity and Balance and follow the wisdom of the Sage ... in a Sag Month its a good idea, and that Sage is YOU EXPAND and TRANSFORM... that’s what Pluto and Jupiter’s unity define or clarify.... Recognize you’re SOUL and how it really feels or even looks to others. True freedom is not pretty, nor easy, it requires difficult and hard work and then transformation and release can occur, to take one giant step for the feminine and one gigantic leap for all of us.
Blessings NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO.... Mary

Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2007 | Jupiter conjuncts Pluto, Venus trines Mars
This is it, the moment of truth, right here right now. Today, as Jupiter conjuncts Pluto on the Galactic Core, this is their message thundering from the heavens above and the deep voice within. Eric's article in this Monday's edition of Planet Waves Weekly just about says it all. It echoes everything I have been feeling and hearing all around me from people, whether or not they follow astrology. So here it is again.
"How about this: Stop bullshitting yourself and do what you need to do. Do what you came to this Earth to do, starting today. Tell the people in your life the truth about who you are. Tell them what you need. Try it; I promise, you won't drop dead, and civilization will not end. If people blow you off, good for you -- they were blowing you off already. Stop worrying about it and get on with the life you came here to live. Don't let anyone stop you, most particularly yourself."
This is also precisely the conversation I had over dinner last night with my brother. Life is just way too short to be anything but real and to waste time on bullshit. The thing is most of us even in spite of knowing the truth, will continue to keep up a facade out of politeness. All this activity in Sagittarius (if you have known any Sagittarians, you will know this is true) is leaving no room for that now.
Tact and diplomacy, along with a whole load of other crap we've been led to believe, are flying out the window. We can't force another to be honest and up-front, but it takes two and we can refuse to play. Everything exploding in the cosmos is mirroring the core of who we are and what's happening inside. I assure you, we are going to need every ounce of energy we have to face the tomorrow hurtling our way to waste time on people who don't want to get real. Let it go. And speaking of bullshit, watch this.
Opportunities and situations in our lives now have the power to catapult us far into the future. Jupiter is the bearer of good fortune, but Pluto asks for a complete surrender before we can collect his [Jupiter's] bounty. Aligned with the Galactic Core, this is a surrender to our innermost realities that we may have long forgotten or suppressed. I realize this may not be an easy time for all, but I would say this is the universe's wake-up call. It may be a little disorienting at first, but once we snap out of our dreams, we can start making them real.
Also today, Mars trines Venus, bringing our intimate relationships into the mix. With Mars retrograde in Cancer and Venus in intense Scorpio, there seems to be some sort of role reversal between the sexes here. Venus wants to get to the bottom of it all, while Mars retreats. There is, though, a great opportunity now to get real about what we need in our relationships and heal past wounds of insecurity or abandonment. Trust your instincts -- float to the voice of love and you'll find fear just sort of melts away.
To sum it all up, I will quote Eric once again: "The cosmos is broadcasting the message on every known frequency that it's time to stop giving yourself lame excuses to not make love, make art or make a difference."
The Greeks have a concept of 'divine time' or Kairos that implies an opportune moment in time when the Divine penetrates the earthly sphere. And we are truly in one divine moment, right here, right now.

2nd of the Water Moons....
"Dreaming with our Soul"
Friday, Nov 9 - Dec 8, 2007
5:03 p.m. CDT, 17 Degree Scorpio
Scorpio Moons are a reflection of our personal Soul and the hidden secrets and strengths, both positive and negative. The Soul as Emotional Body, the third and deepest trinity of Mind/Body gives the personal sub-conscious or personal underworld releases or an entrance.... we are allowed to see what our Soul is made of for the next 28 day Moon Cycle.
Some are working on releasing karma, some making changes with old patterns of behavior or beliefs, some to heal issues of relationship to people or the physical world, and others illness and others trying to create a new dream after the healing journey is completed. During this late fall, when we play with the Moon within and its outer reflection, we make sure during a ‘Scorpio Moon’ that our INTENTION is created with consciousness to expand self - awareness. I remember even today, my Scorpio New Moon intention 7 years ago. I had set my intention in the circle to reveal my 'Real Compassion deeper inside' to surface.
The next morning, a woman hit my brand new car I had purchased and all I could do was sit in the car and laugh, because I was very well aware that this intention and all intentions are answered perfectly. I got out of my car and there happened to be a police car parked at the 7-11 across the street. We both drove into the parking lot and filled out the paperwork. I asked the woman what happened. She said she heard a car screeching and looked into her rear view mirror and saw a big red truck coming at her and she had an anxiety attack. I said why at that moment when the man in the truck was only really driving 5 miles an hour and just drove around us. She said that last month, she had written her last check, paying off the dept of a previous accident ten years ago where both her knees were broken.
I asked her if she was alright, gave her a hug so she would stop shaking and showed her much compassion, my intent answered. Three days later my insurance man called and asked me to tell my story... I did and he said the woman who hit you had no memory of hitting you and denies it. I said calmly, well, you know how emotions and the soul are; they are like the moon which is linked emotionally with our memory. And sometimes they are in denial when things are painful. My intention was answered that Scorpio moon, I saw just how powerful INTENTIONS are, but absolute focus and attention to how this lunar magnetic energy in our watery emotional body is ANSWERED - the psyche of inner awareness cannot increase, nor relate to the depth of our personal untouchable Soul and must become manifested in the physical world. In her case, it was the car accident, in mine, it was a beautiful intention and my awareness increased because of it.
We walk a day dream and a night dream and I used the same symbolism for both. In this revealing New Moon Intention, her rear view mirror was symbolic of her past; the red truck, use of her fire energy and her physical body, police: inner authority; me: compassion of self and awareness [because this is what I was working on] and her, a reflection of the same issues at that time in my life. I felt at that moment I was having a transcendent moment.
So take the opportunity to really dig deep this Lunar New Moon. In astrology they say: ’Do the planet or its does you’… same too with the lunar intentions, set it out there, and pay attention to what is revealed or comes in your space. As I practiced this year after year, I found that the answer came within the two weeks at the full moon, then a week, then a few days, then the next morning, and finally at the moment I set my intent… as long as it’s within you, not outside of self.
Mars the sub-ruler of Scorpio, planet of action and will goes retrograde on November 15 and with Saturn conjunct the south node, this moon really addresses the new Dream and Mars will then go direct on January 30, 08. So take this next 3 MOON CYLCE to work on ONE INTENTION with Completion.
Blessings and have a Great!!! 28 Days!
Mary

New Moon in Libra
October 11 - November 8, 2007 CST
Souls Journey into 'Relationship'
My New Moon Intention:
Rise Oh Libra, Queen Venus
returning again to Earth with a passion
of love in Balance within All My Relations.
Look at your emotions dear Soul and see
where you respond like the Magician. Other-wise,
my minds fantasy without my emotional bodies Soul
serves only the desires need, not the need itself,
never quite quenching the Seekers thirst.
Equinimity, Balance, Respect, Harmony and
Union brings us inner peace, a sense of
fulfillment in all that we meet!
I spent a wonderful evening with Jeannie Breeze [Alias Elton Jean] and Ravenwolf's New Moon Circle last night, it was peaceful, grounded and magical. Jeannie does such a wonderful soul filled meditation and Ravenwolfs beautiful magical flute and drums created a space of peace. So much so, that I visioned a beautiful dream as I particpated.
We all seek harmony in whatever we are doing each day and this requires practice, practice, practice and not much else. Being in circle with like minded souls can mirror our ability to express action within positive clarity. Those who work at this, set their wise intention this night, to seek any clarity that may be in dis-harmony within, with relationships. Because Venus rules Gossip, Hersay, Jealousy, Needyness, and a host of other love out of balance energy, setting intent to work with this always leads to magical energy.
Relationships are life long work, be it friend, family, work relationship, or our relationship to the earth. This Libra New Moon we can set our "intention" to help us clearly see what is within, that has need and desire. And where we can pull back when we need a rest from such union, that can help us regain a sense of calm to engage in the physical and non-physical aspects of our life.
I had an Iranian woman call this morning who wanted some information about a reading. She said her english teacher from Iran came into her dream last night and gave her, her phone number. She could not remember the phone number and wanted to know what that meant. I said well, she really did come to you in your dream and wants to get ahold of you. She was hesitant to act upon such dreamings.
In my world we can work out relationships in the waking regular life, what i term the waking dream or we can work them out in the nights dreaming. She did not want to contact this woman, but I encouraged her to follow through because its important when someone comes to you in a dream and speaks so clearly to connect.
However it works for you this Moon of Right Relations, act upon it even if there is fear, it serves your conscious mind with nourishment from your own soul, this emotional body that is not limited to just your physical waking dream has a wellspring of wisdom for you. Dream Well and Set your Intention with Clarity to create balance, peace and harmony within all your relationships.

New Moon in Virgo 28 Day Cycle
The Souls Journey
Sep 11 to Oct 9, 2007
Solar Eclipse
at 7:44 AM St Louis
Greetings friends, we start the next 28 days in the Energy of Virgo ! My new Moon intention this month is:
"Oh Celestial Maiden, Virtuous Virgo
of Abundance and the Great Harvest,
offer me a Blessing on this Solar Eclipse,
squeezing me like grapes where I am not
yet fully ripened into alchemic Wine!"
Virgo Keywords for Setting your NEW MOON INTENTION today:
Organized, adaptable, nervous, thoughtful, speculative, sensitive, pleasing, criticizing, inquisitive, talkative, mischievous, expressive, good memory, conceited, winning manner, intellectual, humane, witty, quick, logical, fretful, gift of gab, self-conscious, worrying, perceptive, observant.
This finishing Moon in Leo had some drama and what I observed is this deep yearning in others to take their precious life force and help heal others. Virgo Moon says HEAL THY SELF FIRST, and then one has an Abundance and Overflow of energy and joy to help others. Today the Virgo Moon helps us finds some comfort and grounding for the next 28 days to direct our intent towards this goal of Health. When we follow the Sun’s teaching, we allow outside forces of life to enter our sacred space and either we respond with balance and harmony or like the south winds, we get blown around a bit. In the teachings of the Moon, we flow at each timed cycle, moving our body, our mind and our emotions with the Spirit of the Rivers of our life and keep flowing in stillness regardless.
Dancing with the Moon is like the Lover inside who DANCES with our own rhythms, clarity, healthy choices and the ability to analyze the self in order to experience Mental, Emotional Health and Physical well-being. Virgo is very, very sensitive to its natural environment and our inner environment will be a clear mirror. If there are ANY separations between us and our natural self or natural environment, ask the higher self to show us this very clearly this month.
Virgo's Soul Journey:
This Virgo Moon is experiencing a Solar Eclipse and A Spiritual Audit is the term I heard last week that applied. Be very discerning and analytical to integrate and heal ANYTHING within the self that attracts dis-harmony or brings imbalance. Remember, we reflect, like a mirror our environment as the first level of karma, and the second level of karma is actually working on our dis-harmony or Adharma. The Virgin in Herstory is the IMAGE of wheat, corn and harvests of her life expressed by the Autumn Equinox, saying that the Seasons of our year have reached a fullness and abundance. What abundance is in your basket today, right now and what is bruised and spoiled? Efficient, Practical and Tolerant are the Maiden Virgo's best qualities and her dark moon wear’s stress, worry and emotional upsets. Discriminate between constructive criticism and being over demanding with yourself, requires the practicing of: Perfect Imperfection. Its ok to strive for perfection, as long as we understand imperfection is equaled.
Virgo is ruled by Mercury / Hermes and demonstrates the discerning side of our nature and the powers of clear observation. We can apply her energy this month to see exactly where we need to return to wholeness. Virgo is highly tuned and sensitive to other people's energy and for the next 28 days begin to 'observe' your personal Virgo spaces in your Mind, Emotions and Physical.
All parts need to be in place before a big picture can be seen by the self, keep working on the details this month to help us find flexibility and adaptability in earthy way and to "think" before we take risks that might be harmful or unproductive.
HAVE A GREAT MOOONTH !

THE 28 DAY LUNAR: LEO CYCLE
NEW MOON: AUG. 12 LEO
5:02 cst 20 degree's [The Next 28 Days]
FULL MOON: AUG. 28 PISCES 1:35 am cst, Total Lunar Eclipse lasting 3:33 min
DARK MOON: SEPT. 4 - 10 [wisdom and contemplation part of the cycle of what occured in your life in the new and full]
Note: Help yourself every 28 days by beginning to enter each month with practices of SELF-AWARENESS and the Art of Lunar Intention. For the next 28 days I suggest only "ONE INTENTION" for mastery. The mind is like a mirror, it can only see the surface of the reflection before you. Opening the deeper emotional body and its wisdom, begins to enter seeing from the sub-conscious emotional body or what I call the SOUL. I list here each month the archetype of the 38 day cycle in a small story. Practice, Focus and Remembrance with the MOON is to penetrate beyond our waking Life into the Emotional Energy Fields or expanded Energy of Consciousness. This involves setting a Sacred Intention, paying attention and seeing it through with perspective tools of the mind, to enter the perception body to REALLY see the reflection of yourself and everything you do. Buddhists call this the higher mind, but its not really the mind at all, its our intuitive emotional body who feels all the pain and the joy. This is an ancient practice by the Grandmothers long ago, where we align:
1. Our Dreaming Cycle
2. with the 28 Day Cycle of the Moon [and menses cycle for women] and her Magnetic Energy
3. and Our Emotional Body [Soul]
and the Reunification of these '3
THE LEO NEW MOON
THE LIONESS AND THE LION SHINE LIKE THE SUN WITHIN THE DREAMING WITH THE MOON
The Lioness is considered the Queen of the Jungle, and like wise we all have a little of her Royalty within us in the warmth of our Spirit, our eagerness for attention and our desire to be loved. Leo the Lion King is an empowered Spiritual leader and faithful Servant. Lioness adores being served by his Grace. If the King is scorned, he may be vengeful and withdraw. If the Queen is scorned, she may exert her jealousy or revenge energy.
The one liner Actress says: I CREATE and What you see is what you get. The Actor: I am here for your Pleasure and to Entertain You! In the 28 day Leo Moon there is flair for DRAMA and how much drama is awareness. How much am I involved personally in drama and can I retreat says the Lioness who with practice still remains creative and expressive! Remain aware Lions of YOUR impact, both positive and negative finding balance quickly in the Leo Moon, so others can benefit from your presence.
Fire Moons are naturally warm and we can look inward like the Queen and King within, who gives light and heat to our Day Dream. Our inner candle brings a lot of light or some light to our stage when we stand with Integrity and Dignity. We won't get burn any faster if we remain aware with our intuition in situations this month. Fire isn't logical, it’s experiential and expressive, so our actions and attentions can be attained with some good LEO NEW MOON INTENTIONS to set the 28 day cycle off to a positive right from the Start.
So what are some Positive Leo New Moon Intentions?
Lets look at Leo's Archetype. It is the wonderful creative Mother who can bring some release and joy to her own inner child and then her own children. It is the Lion in his dignity and action as a Spiritual being. Becoming aware this moon is paying attention to your inner child who is hurt, and this will be determined if any drama arises and how you respond or attach or detach positively because the shadow is needy in this moon cycle. We don't need to transform our good qualities obviously, so we generally look to where we are out of balance and with each moon there is a building up and a release of energy of a particular Archetype or Expression of Leo. By the Full Moon, two weeks later, we should be able to see where the DRAMA was expressed, if not ourselves or others, then in our Inner child and how s/he felt by the Fullness of the Moon. Work in any modality is a great way to express this Fire Energy by playing a little bit more this month and becoming conscious of that in order to find opposition to the drama.
Astrologically, the Sun represents our will and our desire, a fuel that fires us individuality and gives us the energy to live a life of passion and being in love with life in harmony. If we don't master self love, then the hosts of drama plays out before us. In a Leo Moon, see it, re-claim it and become aware of it with personal responsibility. These are the keys to experiences and letting go this Leo Moon. We can do it in a very creative way, a playful and loving natural way or a drama way. In its Shadow Leo is the Needy child, who did not feel the love and attention at some point in growth and seeks attention as an adult. Become self aware where your needs are and just SHARE this with those you love which can maximizes our strengths and overcome our fears. Wear the Leo Mask this month if you have any conflict on any of the 28 days in order to protect yourself and also be the Queen of the Lioness Mask if you want to give and receive Warmth inside the Heart this month or the Mask of the Leo Lion King if you need to protect yourself. Both wo/men can use its masculine and feminine qualities anytime this month.

FULL: AQUARIUS JULY 29 2007
DARK: AUGUST 9-11
Dreamy Lunar Eclipse AUG 28 2007
From Dr. Tony at Nasa: August 28th there is going to be a colorful lunar eclipse visible from five continents including most of North America: Event begins 54 minutes past midnight PDT on August 28th when the Moon enters Earth's shadow. At first, there's little change. The outskirts of Earth's shadow are as pale as the Moon itself; an onlooker might not even realize anything is happening. But as the Moon penetrates deeper, a startling metamorphosis occurs. Around 2:52 am PDT (0952 UT), the color of the Moon changes from moondust-gray to sunset-red. This is totality, and it lasts for 90 minutes.
AQUARIUS FULL MOON
I am a Woman who Dreams, I already know you, you were my great, great, great grandchild, do you remember? Let me help you remember by not taking things personally especially what others do or say to you. Forgive them and then forgive yourself, for you were only a child, even at 70 years old. I am strong enough to love you and you are strong and beautiful enough to change that which keeps your Soul heavier than a Feather. – M. Novak
A Dreamtime Story for the Aquarian Full Moon
Six years ago I received a phone call at home from a young man who said: “This may seem strange to you, but I live in Vancouver, British Columbia and you dream walked with my Grandfather last night in our medicine lodge and gave him your phone number.” I replied I had not been unaware last night and to apologize to Grandfather where in live in St. Louis. I explained that I had been doing my healing work with dedication and had already been working with my Dreams for about seven years to master the foundation of the ‘present’ dreaming, an aspect of dreaming of inner communication as guidance to a personal waking life. He said we wanted to make sure we contact you and that is why i called.
It was a very simple conversation and I thanked him for his generosity. Two months later the young man called again and said Grandfather told me to call you again, that you came to him again in his medicine lodge and this time he would make sure you understood this was urgent and important. I thanked him again. “Grandfather then said he found out a whole lot about you on the other side and that it was time for you to move to the Northwest and begin your work.” Well I really did not plan on moving from my home which I loved and always offered me the Universe in my backyard. I asked him if he could share with me what Grandfather had found out about me for I was curious?” The grandson laughed and said I can't tell you, he shared it with us, but you will have to find that within and for yourself.
After I hung up the phone, this Grandfather gave the best teaching he could have possibly have given me by speaking nothing and stirring my curiosity so deeply that I began to day dream on his sharing everyday. I had done a lot of personal work by them, I had entered circles and practiced practices to be with like-minded souls in many traditions in my New Moon stage of my awakening Journey of self healing. I was determined that I would come to understand this Great Mystery even if it killed me. They say be careful what you wish for and as a Shaman my wish had come true.
After that call, I began the next level inward of my healing journey, the Full Moon stage of my Spiral Medicine inward. Here is when the healing work begins, the love and light stage of the New Moon fades and becomes thirst quenching and now the Soul years for more. Maybe that was just me. At thsi point i practiced, practiced, practiced as if i were to give a concert at the Royal Hall, to master and still my mind to the least amount of power and bring it to the zero point for it guides our reality and that reality is so much larger than the mind. Being an Aquarian in the Gemini house, it is a oubled mental power, direction of the North and seeing both sides of not only visions but personal abilities to go both inward and outwards. My difficult mind twas hard to slaughter in the Buddhist and Tibetan traditions but I did it because I knew, if I was to truly be within the truth of the Great Mystery, I had to understand my own personal truth equaled to it. Is there any other way?
Drive, passion and hard work are the keys to accomplish anything in this waking dream, and now I wanted to explore, discover the opposite, the Grandmother teachings, and hgad came to an enlightenment and realization from experiences that it is the cosmic emotional body [soul] where love and unconditional love exists and yes these are in words and even practices of all teachings depending upon how far you wish to go. But I knew something still was missing. I couldn't put my finger on it but I just knew. I was intelligent enough to know that this journey had been done before, that others had gone before and when the Deer spoke to me in the unified fields in 1987, she had granted me wisdom by allowing me to listen and to be with her and she said only 2% of humans on the Earth had completed the journey to enter the unified fields. I would imagine now in 2007 that this has risen to at least 5 or 6% of 7.4 billion souls.
I felt blessed that I never naturally had Idols but later mentors who didn't know they were. I am aloof, even as a child I only questioned and never accepted unless I could see the core truth, not a Master Jesus nor a Rock Star. As I matured in my immature ways I guess I just found out that grandmother wisdom and mother earths wisdom were much more divine than I had recognized and still honoring all humanities teachings. In Chinese my path and where I was at was called Jin Jin, that if you refuse as a Shaman to take the path of a Shamanka when the Spirit comes calling, you will find meet your final death, around the corner. I knew this was truth and it was a fearful reality, not a judgment or thought or opinion. For I was given all the dysfunctions and I would be given the entire path to heal. This I knew was the true Law of Attraction that had nothing to do with money, and self-pleasuring ones’ ego and we are continually tested, even this past month for me, I remembered and I let go immediately.
With no job, no respect, no-thing and even 20 something’s attacking my truth as a spiritual woman, I resigned and retretated from exhaustion hitting the lowest point in my life, weak, loss of life savings, no home and yet I could still laugh, my spirit and energy body was getting stronger and in a strange way I was seeing progress. It was both happening at the same time. I felt a loneliness that was unbearable, but not lonely. The isolation from my mystical experiences was pulling me further and further away from others for they would here my stories but unable to relate from experience, this caused torment and separation. At that moment, I chose to do the opposite. I made a commitment to myself, to go the entire mystics journey, to enter my shadow fields even if it was unbearable. I had already many extraordinary Dreaming’s and Lucidity, Astral Travels and even Visions before Grandfather called. I could feel things in my being, like some feel the weather changes on their knees. I was ready to step outside that box inside the bigger box, everyone know of but does not acknowledge by actually stepping across the threshold, the flat books of knowledge and the circles of the Age of Pisces for the past 2,500 years of teachings at that point were too limited. I wasn’t afraid anymore.
So having my life on hold in a dreaming suspension and fully trusting in a Native Grandfather that I had never met I moved to Seattle with no job, money, no place to live and not knowing a soul past the Colorado Rockies and at 44 for me this was not easy. I would live there for four years, visions that soon came after I arrived would show me my collective work and to truly understand the depths of the unified fields of the deep experiencing of personal shadow and across the veil and the souls shadows who resided there. In Seattle I entered and began to experience the final third stage, the Dark Moon of my healing journey, what I call the gates into the real underworld, which are the darkest and I cannot say for sure if anyone but Shamans, true Shamans experience. The experiencing of consciousness of Self and the Mirror of the dimensions and the great void reflects back. Spirit and Nature and her consciousness reflecting back as equal in both the darkest and the lightest of my self. I had begun to access the spaces of fragments between my sub-conscious and my unconscious which co-existed at the same time in vision in the astral planes of earth of holographic fragments and watery energy fields, which reflected was reflecting. The Dark Moon healing was the shortest ‘Time’ period and most intense, and it was at the same time the longest and most difficult. Like a double Spiral and although I never read nor studies the double helix that’s a good word to describe it.
What is it that I speak of? Oh its quite simple and you know what it is, that’s what you seek as a truth seeker and if you make the whole journey, you will understand what you already knew. It is here you meet your ugliest demons and shadowed self, the ones you never knew existed nor recognized; the one’s all the sacred texts in all traditions are written about. In the Dark Moon journey, they transformed from stories to experienced reality. A going into these inner Chamber of Ereshkigal. I too, like others had believed that what I knew was what existed, my reality up to each point in my life after 30, but this existence was not my reality…
The Grandest of all illusion that leaves a filmy covering, a coating of rose-colored glass, a delusion that a mind can justify NOT to experience. Even though I had never committed a crime, nor stole, nor had any drug or drink problems, these were not the crimes in which I speak in the great betrayal of our self and of our souls emotional body, where all wars exist and manifest as personal karma, and our fear to touch and re-experience it lifetime after lifetime. No I am not a master, not even close, I am not a Light Worker, I am a Shaman and shamans understand and experience both the teachings of the Light and Dark and must know them BOTH intimately. mvoing into personal Evolution and the Drama of the Soul. Where you participated clearly and we begin to truly see, great or small within your self personally and because you cannot look away anymore from your own divinity the shadow must seen, touched, tasted and healed and it feels like death and it is death in the mental, emotional and physical body in order to merge as one and enter the unified of self and the unified fields simultaneously at each cycle revealing more and more. This is Enlightenment in its truest sense. A poem I wrote at this time was:
An Ancient Shamans Dream
In this existence, three million frozen oceans
fill my broken heart of my ancient shaman’s
silent screams of what is happening to me
and my brothers and sisters, my oceans
and land spirits of the animals and trees.
One single drop of THIS precious tear
falling down from your Souls eyes waited an
eternity for you.
In the Nature of Love, the
Darkest watcher behind the veils
clothed me in naked garments of beautiful
and dangerous wisdom. This scripture was never
for sale by those who wrote the word in red velvet
shields of Conquests. Statues that actually
built Kingdoms along its glorious path.
Now, I am the one who must endure the
frightened child’s dreaming each night
freeing my own Soul regardless of my
minds truth. Shadows of emotional remembrance
until my last death released the timeless and ageless
hold upon my mortality’s final awareness. Heaven
is not to be experienced ‘after’ death but to bring
over with you when you pass over.
Through the Spirit of the Wind
The soul and the mind are known
throughout his story to have infamous
battles. The poor mind, it can only stumble
and master geometrics, language, physics,
statistics and a host of other rote
Magic tricks.
When you challenge this Mind
and hold your own Sword and Dagger
to your precious throat, asking it to
be prepared for its own slaughter,
be ready for childish tantrums
that you never knew existed
on Earth.
You shake your fist at the wind and god
and cry but the wind only speaks and
never listens. When she blows down
your house that you have built, you
shall have learned something
of great value.
Hearts and minds do not guide this precious
Soul who teaches us like children patience
to Mind and Body and then calls us to the eternal
endless cycles without any alpha’s and omegas.
She is the keeper of such Wisdom where battles
were never to touch a physical plane.
Pain and joy rises and lowers like the tides
and offers you the hidden manna as deep as
your own eternity. Be thankful for such deaths,
which is the Grace to awaken you from your
own deep slumbers.
Once awakened, you will no longer be or able to turn
away from the projection of your pain without seeing
it clearly in the wars that never were for protection
but the misery and suffering of your own new ancestors
of innocent children to come. We are each guilty of
such heresy and these precious waters reveal
the reflections you see in the Shadows of your own being.
Come the wind whispers each night, free your Soul who
is coiled moving upwards and downwards and merge
with the spiraling Sacred Serpent of Eternity’s Void.
My dreaming increased to week long visions a year after I was in the Northwest. I knew why I had come, it was not pleasure, it was not safe, it was not abundance and it was all the greatest gift of all. Reaching for the opposite reveals the truth. When I would rest I would go to Mt. Tahoma [Rainer] and take large bottles of water to bring home with me. I would drink her waters, knowing that her wisdom in that water and its consciousness would communicate to my magnetic fields of my emotional body inside me and I was right, it did. I would speak to the water, pour it in my bath, soak in it, and ask her for more lessons that tested my endurance to heal. She was loving in her beauty, as I would see her in the distance, as I got closer. Drinking such water straight from the Mountain herself as a woman, was like breast feeding from my own Mother. She was my Mother having lost my own mother at 30. She was just as beautiful. I was trying to survive the visions and dreamings in a left-brain society and world. The Secret and the Karma which one is unawareness transformed and at times I judged myself for having made such a decision to come to the Northwest, I realized the traditions of Kali in experience now and to slay each one of my minds realities one by one, hanging them around my neck for all to see in my discomfort, my crabbiness my sheer black jaguar within becoming exposed without excuses. I knew then what the ‘Real Work’ of Enlightenment is and I was moving beyond the Gate and yes it is luminous, but I trusted myself that I would not stay and this story will be my last to free myself from the blessings of my journeys. A light seeking path briought no fertility and nourishment to my psyche, only the paranormal and the minds hunger and thirst for knowledge that was now too limiting, rather than experiences, wisdom, experiences, wisdom, experiences, wisdom, and reflection.
I had met a man at a coffee place, during that time and he had shared his Fetish that he seemed so proud of, that I supposed was popular in the underground of Seattle. Those who do things to others that are their pain projected but in a slick urban way that their mind validates. I didn’t understand but I am sure where his soul was in his evolution it was probably perfect for him. I was getting to some deeper pain across the veil now in the mirrors of the tormented who are dead ones that were reflecting yet a deeper level, that sharing is mine and I keep it for now because it too long of a story/ But, him showing up on my path that afternoon was a reflection of its equaled mirror outside of myself. The holograph was being torn, I was entering fragmented dream windows of distortion, I suppose Don Juan knows what I am speaking of, I call this one:
Fetishes
Fetishes, whips and leather. He punishes women
just like his father as he saw his mother weak as
an innocent child who could not protect him. Now
in his Heart, he has become his father’s rage
and his mother’s weakness.
Child of pain below your tyrant Mind,
I am the one who remembers your suffering
for I see you with my dreaming emotions.
I whisper one last Time, I remember you before you
were born, your name is not forgotten, for you wear the
|marks upon your Soul that I can see without judgment.
First you were the Father, now you have come back
to earth as the Son, in the future you will come as
the woman who is beat. You only get three chances to
remember, then trapped forever, without a body.
This is what Hell is, nothing more, nothing less.
I am not your Christ to crucify, your projection will not
heal this mark upon your Soul. I did not come here to
wash away your Sin; I came here to tell you the Truth.
The Memory and the prison in your nightly
blood of Roses, below illusion you lay
on an infinite Bed of Thorns. It is not to late
to heal your own demon within and let go
of your Fear to be Loved.
And then begins another new cycle inward again and again and again I was dizzy, like laboring I child I could only breath through these experiences now. I was allowing my dreaming emotional body to be free in every sense, alone, in my visions and dreamings, in my reflections the next day. I laughed and told others I had an invisible PhD and it hangs in the infamous Gate on the other side in Dante’s Inferno and the gates beyond in Hell and if you truly wish for me to prove what it is I say is truth, it lays there in the Book of the Dead as proof, all you have to do is take a travel there and tell me your story when you return. That will be our only philosophies.
I can breathe deeply knowing that I reclaimed all of my soul fragments and that the big stamp of KARMA PAID in red was written in the great Hall of Records in the Dreaming. Am I different from you? No, I just traveled there to the Holy Grail, the Great Yin Feminine teachings, which man fears and it resides inside your souls emotional body and all its complexities, uncomfortable feelings and you hurt no one but yourself and save no ones soul but your own through with teachings only as a guide to bring you to that infamous Gate in which you stand there making a choice to cross or forever ‘hold’ your peace, then the journey begins and you are truly alone and then the great return, to enjoy a nice cup of Starbucks like you never did anywhere off of the Great Mother Earth.
I really was never curious to meet or ask to meet Grandfather or even ask his name, it was not important, I was not Native American this lifetime and did not wish to be, I was very happy with my Slavic ancestors who know and love and I learned the same great teachings in their way. I remember all my past lives; I have been many in many traditions, in my reality so have you. There is no one way, no one great teaching, they all have something to contribute and I listened to all of them, I practiced small parts of all of them, all I was doing was remembering myself.
The Grandson shared his name and phone number but I never called or asked to visit, there was too much healing work within to do. I trusted and believed in myself enough to trust the Grandfather and realize that by the time I was 38 and still on a path, I was not even aware that story and myth could become a real actual reality. Dreaming is everything; the Dreamer is Unique, the two meet at some point in the Great Dream. It is my Emotional Soul Body \that is healed and that was the secret, the karma, the greatest gift and gratitude that I could give to my Spirit allowing it to be free, no matter what it seemed in the blurry lines between duality of good and evil so I could truly then be could connect to Great Spirit and finally recognize it. I don’t know what everyone else is here on this fertile ground in which the Mother Earth gives so loving her precious body as a gift to heal our Soul. I did it because I had to do my collective shamanic work equally to myself, and that was my mission, that’s what I came to Earth to do and why I am here. Now is done, what the future holds is not really important, it is to be lived and experienced with gratefulness, reverence, compassion, fire, resolving conflict as soon as it arises. Before Enlightenment Carry Water Chop Wood, after Enlightenment Carry Water Chop Wood.
I had to do this level of healing work for the 2012 shift and to clear and lock down the magnetic fields but it was only a reflection equaled to my emotional magnetic body and it’s healing. It the only gift to Humanity and myself that I could give, they call this Selfless Love. Loving the Self at such depths that it allows you to love and accept the Spirit in all things and to be that balance in right relationship. And it didn’t cost Humanity a dime. I did it for and for my love of the Primordial Grandmothers, the Great Mother, the Grandmother Moon and the Mother Earth. She is the Great Mystery Teachings, in which we bestowed our openness to listen to her wisdom and why I honor these now first above all teachings on Earth.
It was Grandmother who carried Remembrance; I only woke up in her Dreaming to remember.
THE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE BODY:
Love, Unconditional Love, Intuition, Dreaming, Remote Viewing, Peace, Lucidity, Astral Travel, Dream Walking, Communicating with Trees and Animals, Seer-ship, Psychic-ness, Clair-audio, Clair-sentience, Clair-Vision, Prophecy, Prophetic Wisdom, Art, Creativity on all levels, Common Sense, Laughter, Joy, Sorrow, Suffering, Knowing and the greatest Truth.
Mind and Body is temporary on Earth, these yang or masculine gifts that exist are given everything from the Emotional body and Spirit body, this is the Secret and the Mystery, who would have thought I spent a 13 year journey to find this truth that no one believes. Does it matter? No, will the rest of the 95% eventually remember Grandmothers teachings that she exists for 12 of the 13 cycles each 27,000 years?
Can I prove it to the non-believers and those who believe the Mind to be Cosmic?
No. You just have to go there yourself.

Seekers of Dreams and Healing in the Shamanic Traditions
Welcome to my site, I am a spirit chosen and spirit initiated shaman, an organic dreamer. Having completed my 28 year journey of the knowledge path, the healing path and the spirit path and now at 51, enter my calling with my own ancestors. I am a full time transformational healer using my medicines of dreamtime following in the spirit footsteps of the grandmother cave medicines, the oldest healing based in woman's ability to reach gently yet deeply and powerfully into the separations of our physical and spiritual dis-eases.
Working within the veils of the three worlds, I help others find and allow slowly, the building of a personal bridge between mind and emotional body, inner and outer reality and material and spiritual balance which leads to self awareness and internal medicine experienced, to connect beyond mind and body into the deeper wellspring intelligence of the Soul and her unique voice.
The Earth Healing arts speak deeply to us: our personal past, our past life karma and our need for freedom from fear into wholeness. The inner dreamer (higher mind, soul or higher self) identifies ones personal bondage of fear as personal illusion, denial and dis-empowerment and with the subtle emotional intelligence of our spirit, transforms these into empowerment, intuition, dreamtime and visionary self guidance. In other words, Self trust.
Our inner home, our inner landscapes and our interior realities re-gain balance by nurturing our emotional needs, healing our wounded past, bringing awareness to our unfulfilled desires and our ability to speak truth without fear of being judged or abandoned by family, friends or groups. The importance of loving and trusting the Self is a difficult but mandatory survival skill if one expects to maintain personal health even when life tests us. This is the true path of a spiritual seeker who is ready to begin to experience the depth and nature of her own wisdom that lay hidden and dormant.
Seeking allows us to go beyond our limitations and limited belief systems based on our youth or the youth of the collective. The path of self-exploration moves us beyond mental concepts and theologies and awakens our feelings, moving us out of stagnation, depression, anxiety and slowly begins to creates a spark of inner freedom where we can breath deeply by loving both our true nature in all its shadows and chaos. We may then begin to find balance by accepting the natural teachings of Mother Nature and Mother Earth. Wherever we hold personal fears, our spirit is in poverty, wherever we nurture the creative and intuitive self we fulfill our need and desire for harmony and peace."
