Mabon
Autumn Equinox, 2nd Harvest, September 21st

Mabon, (pronounced MAY-bun, MAY-bone, MAH-boon, or MAH-bawn) is the Autumn Equinox. The Autumn Equinox divides the day and night equally, and we all take a moment to pay our respects to the impending dark. We also give thanks to the waning sunlight, as we store our harvest of this year’s crops. The Druids call this celebration, Mea’n Fo’mhair, and honor the The Green Man, the God of the Forest, by offering libations to trees. Offerings of ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are appropriate at this time. Wiccans celebrate the aging Goddess as she passes from Mother to Crone, and her consort the God as he prepares for death and re-birth.

Various other names for this Lesser Wiccan Sabbat are The Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest, Feast of Avalon, Equinozio di Autunno (Strega), Alben Elfed (Caledonii), or Cornucopia. The Teutonic name, Winter Finding, spans a period of time from the Sabbat to Oct. 15th, Winter’s Night, which is the Norse New Year.

At this festival it is appropriate to wear all of your finery and dine and celebrate in a lavish setting. It is the drawing to and of family as we prepare for the winding down of the year at Samhain. It is a time to finish old business as we ready for a period of rest, relaxation, and reflection.

Full Singing Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Singing Moon (Celtic) at 26* Pisces will culminate Sept 19, 2013 4:14am PDT/ 1:14am EDT.

This Full Singing Moon is about looking deeply into your own inner looking glass. Who did you want to be when you grew up, and are you making out okay or do you need to back up and revise a little. What mistakes need to be cast adrift. What do you need to change about you. How do you go back to living genuine days that turn into authentic years. How do you reopen your mind’s eye and creativity. Your talents and skills, are you using them. This Full Moon is looking into your secret aspects and casting light on what needs to come back and enliven your life. This moon is not about love or other people, it’s about your understanding of your instincts, survival mechanisms and what makes you who you are…Coming as close as we can to the soul’s destiny and what goals you have chosen in this life.

It’s never too late to take up a musical instrument, learn to dance, or taking classes on any subject. Until we are off the planet, learning and study keeps us youthful and motivated to participate in the every day world. The way to work our spirit is to have an idea of what we want and why we want it, voicing our desires and moving towards the goal. But every little vision starts in the darkness, whether it ever see’s the light of day is for us to encourage ourselves into confidence. Of course many of our ideas that lay around in the shadows aren’t realistic, but when did practicality ever have anything to do with a dream coming true.

Journal Questions:

What do you feel the looking glass is for you

1. Are you seeing a self-made movie
2. Are you feeling fearful or fulfilled about your future
3. Explain your feelings
4. Is it a knowing and deep trust that you have a looking glass and can measure the future
5. Or are you listening to yourself

Are you feeling mystified

• why

How can you get unstuck

1. Voice your opinions
2. Time management
3. Study skills
4. Move your body in action

 

 Is there a secret wish you would like to see come to light

• Why

Is your life meaningful in

• Love
• Career
• Job
• Health
• Relationships
• Friendships
• Happiness
• Exercise

   

 Within your spirit and the looking glass, how can you enhance your life – be fanciful if you like

• Spiritually
• Emotionally
• Intellectually
• Materially
• Physically

When we spark our inner light, and recognize the miracle of our creation – we can be born of many talents. Every area of our lives should be fulfilled. It is the bounty of the earth, and our birth right. We may not be able to run ourselves ragged by being perfectionists, but the few skills, talents and hobbies we know will bring joy into our well-being. There is no trying to have a good to great life, we create every day with our thoughts and actions. Sorce to be…

And a quote from the biggest dreamer of us all:

“A person should set his goals as early as he can and devote all his energy and talent to getting there. With enough effort, he may achieve it. Or he may find something that is even more rewarding. But in the end, no matter what the outcome, he will know he has been alive.” ~Walt Disney (American motion-picture Produce. 1901-1966)

Full Moon Sept 18, 2013

Overcoming Loneliness Spell

1 white candle

1 mirror

1 wand (optional)…

 

Look into the mirror and say aloud each sentence

 

I,my name, open myself to receive goodwill from others

I, in turn, deem goodwill on others

I know to listen, I know to speak

I ask questions

I am without judgement

I, in turn, deem compassion

I know when to say yes or no in all situations

I set out to be a friend, as well as make friends

I recognize my worthiness in the mirror

 

Point North

I Cast Intent, I deserve friendships

 

Love & Blessings,

Tara Sutphen

“Zing”  — a Magic entering the Mind … Ideas form into thoughts and daydreams.

Muses spark the creative process and stimulate one’s endeavors into fitting ventures. Overcome your obstructions, whether lacking confidence or intangible concepts. Sometimes we can get lost in indefinable and elusive development. In Greek Mythology the Muses gave inspiration to everyone and granted wishes. They have encouraged artists since antiquity, acknowledged for their importance in resourceful innovation and formation.

In this meditation each Muse will grant you her gift, guiding you toward greater resourcefulness and motivation. The Muses inspire inception to the completion of an urge, starting projects from outset to finish. Search for variety of the inner you and your talents, bring your childhood desires into reality. Have you been struggling and need extra support? Let the Muses encourage you in the direction of a greater fate. 30 Minutes.

Sedona Mystic Training
with Tara Sutphen
Oct 19 & 20, 2013

http://tarasutphen.com/41.html

The Mystic Training is learning to sorce.  An occult power class to learn “Sorcery” — how to “sorce” answers and awareness as in the ancient Egyptian Mystery Schools.  You will learn to use the power and energy of the Universe and to be at one with that power.  Tara will help you to unblock your psychic centers and assist you to make contact with your Spirit Guides and Higher-Self, to channel, automatic write, use unique Tarot techniques, and access the path of your true destiny — opening to the deepest and most powerful part of yourself.  We’ll also tap into excellence and merit through the exploration of psychic connection with the other side. Insight leads us out of vagueness.  Not everyone seeks to decipher past blunders or catch a glimpse of the future as it might unfold, but those who do want to search for meaning to their dilemmas and gain confidence to live an important and rewarding life. Opening the five senses leads to deeper-consciousness.

 
 

Learning to manifest the splendor in all things, we want our relationships, love, success, happiness, family, great health, money, knowledge, wisdom to be the best it can be.  Tara will help you unblock your psychic centers and assist you to make contact with your Mystics, Spirit Guides and Higher-Self for guidance. Included: Meditations, Life-Force Activation, Sorcing techniques, class discussions, and clarification. Join Tara and a small group of fellow travelers who will work together to create a magical and mystical weekend filled with deep learning of personal and universal mysteries. Tara Sutphen is a modern Master of the occult sciences, having proved over and over again her ability to communicate with the dead, to obtain psychic answers, and predict coming events.
